"WWE WrestleMania XIX" is a video game released for the Nintendo GameCube by THQ in late 2003. "WMXIX" brought back the "No Mercy"-style create-a-wrestler mode.

The main criticisms of "WMXIX" were the lack of a real story mode, limited number of arenas, the animations of the wrestlers being jerky, and the small roster compared to the PS2's "WWE SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain" and Xbox's "WWE RAW 2"Fact|date=January 2007. The story mode was set mainly backstage, with the player fighting off various security guards and builders as well as wrestlers before fighting WWE owner Vince McMahon at WrestleMania XIX.

"WrestleMania XIX" was followed by "WWE Day of Reckoning" in late 2004.

The roster consisted of around forty Superstars, including Goldberg, The Undertaker, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Features

*"WrestleMania XIX" allowed players to create customized arena entrances for created Superstars.

*Players can purchase new moves/move templates, weapons, and more.

*There can be as many as four wrestlers in the ring at once (with the addition of a referee).

*All playable superstars have alternate attire.

Revenge Mode

In Revenge Mode, a player must select a WWE superstar. The story begins with the player being dragged out of an arena by security guards and being literally tossed on the street. Later, the player encounters Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie notices that the player wants revenge on Vince McMahon for firing them, and the player and Stephanie devise a plan: to ruin Mr. McMahon's flagship pay-per-view: WrestleMania. To do this, Stephanie sends you to various locations and you must assault the various characters you encounter in each location, destroy WWE property, including blowing up an under construction skyscraper, crashing a WWE barge, wrecking the cars in a WWE parking lot, and so on. In the process, you also kill a multitude of security guards and WWE personnel who attack you with wrestling moves by throwing them into moving traffic, off the top of the skyscraper, and off the edge of the barge into the water below, eventually going on to ruin WrestleMania XIX. Created Wrestlers may also be used for this mode.
