Across the last two episodes of Triangle X Squared O, we’ve gone deep on WWF RAW and its sequel, WWE RAW 2. Neither game is particularly good, with RAW 2 falling far, far short of expectations. After these two failures, developer Anchor Inc. would be relieved of their WWE duties, with the keys to the kingdom being handed over to Studio Gigante, a team lead by Mortal Kombat co-creator John Tobias. On today’s episode of Triangle X Squared O: The Wrestling Game Retrospective Series, we close out the Xbox Trilogy with the third and final exclusive entry, WWE WrestleMania 21. You thought RAW and RAW 2 were sights to behold? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Business is about to pick up!
(Season 3, Episode 5)

When I was like 9 years old, ,my friend got this game a little bit after it had just came out and we were amazed at the time. We couldn't believe how real it was, the soundtrack was and still is GOATED (I love anxiety by black eyed peas and papa roach) and our nieve minds thought the gameplay and storyline was sick. But then I grew up and revisited it and realized that... We kinda got dupped lmao.

This breaks my heart. Breaks my heart. I spent HOURS, HOURS playing this game as an 8 year old in my PEAK WWE fandom. I vividly remember watching the ads during raw episodes and being a proud Xbox owner. I probably played the career mode 10 times. AND IT WAS ALL FOR FUCKING NOTHING. On a serious note, when I was 8 I loved this game. Literally spending hours doing everything you could. Glad I was naïve and oblivious.

Ah yes, this game. It could have been so much better. I almost unlocked everything but couldn't stand the collision detection and AI. I was able to get in touch with the legendary John Tobias as he was the lead designer and director of Studio Gigante and he told me a lot of breakthrough information about the game. -The game was VERY rushed. It was rushed to tie in with the WrestleMania 21 pay per view airing on Sky Sports. -There were supposed to be more match types and multiplayer playability but was cut out due to time constraints. -The Create A Wrestler was supposed to be more in depth. -There was little to no QA testing done on the game. -Supposedly there were legal problems with WWE/THQ with the roster and soundtrack. -The game was actually in development from late 2003. -Someone found in the games files that over 10 playable wrestlers were planned to be in the game but were cut out due to leaving WWE or unknown reasons. This was confirmed by an artist who worked in Studio Gigante. -A modder also found that in a Polygon article one of the creative directors said that they wanted to make Tao Feng 2 whilst THQ gave them the rights to work on this game. Some disagreements between budget and development occured and that led to Tao Feng 2 to be scrapped which then caused the team to grow careless whilst trying to get this game finished and released. The wrong build of the game was accidently released in stores.

In other words, this studio was a goddamn mess and I'm glad they went under. Honestly, screw THQ for picking these guys. Why not, I don't know, PICK A GODDAMN TEAM THAT ACTUALLY HAS EXPERIENCE! Sorry, that was angry 4-years-old me coming out (That's how old I was when I played this, and even then, I knew it was garbage).

I remember seeing The Undertaker throwing mankind off the cell, him doing his signature victory pose in front of the judgement day arena, and i think Randy Orton and Cena were on the back along with some other wrestlers that i cant remember. Fast forward to maybe a couple months later when i got a new xbox, i finally managed to buy the game at a walmart and when i got home i could not tell you how excited i was to play the game... until i actually did😵 lmao only thing that i was amazed with was the graphics. Gameplay was OK but overall the game lacked in damn near everything😂 very buggy with not much to offer at all.

I knew WM21 was gawbidge. I bought it just to see for myself. I remember that whenever your opponent knocked you to the mat you were literally rocking yourself to sleep just trying to get up. Career mode seemed to have promise but trying to win a match in three minutes was a crime given how bad the gameplay was. I returned the game like a week after. Even though I played Raw 2 the most out of the three 🙈 I thoroughly enjoyed your retrospective on each.

@applescruff1969

I had the same exact experience. I was 4 years old, shopping with my parents, when I notice that there's a game on sale for $4 (the store must've been REALLY desperate to sell this game, since I'm pretty sure it was only a few months old at the time). We bought it, and I played it...and then immediately after playing a match, I took it out and played RAW 2 instead. Even at that age, I knew it was crap. What's funny is that I had the Platinum Hits version, which has the patch, and it's STILL awful. I'm so happy this developer doesn't exist anymore. I hate that THQ, for god knows what reason, chose the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel developers for their Xbox wrestling games. I honestly think they hated Microsoft, so they just dumped crap on the platform. I can't think of any other reason as to why they'd torture us like that. Lol.

11:50 My theory is that it's a game developer or someone like that doing placeholder commentary that somehow got left in. In SVR 06's prototype, they would have the staff record commentary as a placeholder before the actual commentary team could record it, so that's what i'm basing it off of.

Aww yeah! That X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse OST is in the house, people! This one hit when I was kind of losing steam as a WWE fan, plus I would have had the PS2 games by then so I wasn’t paying much attention to what Xbox was doing. Wow, this is bad. I see now why I’ve somehow never heard of this game. That part where it wouldn’t load and the Xbox was struggling was crazy, although I had a good laugh at Cole going “mINNEAP--hey Taz, what’s your predict---SODA” hahaha Was that third unknown announcer just a guide vocal? My best guess is they fed the line to Michael Cole and he just repeated it, then forgot to actually use Cole’s take and kept the guide in the game haha. The fact that an entire campaign just wasn’t in the game at launch is insane. As fun as it’s been to see you suffer through these, I’m happy your sanity will be spared going forward haha.

I remember purchasing this once, I thought that the visuals looked pretty decent. I remember I played one match, just one and I was unable to comprehend what I was playing, it was just preposterous. I turned it off and never ever played it again.

Kane falling on his ass from the top rope had me rolling. 🤣 I owned WM21 when it came out and I was so mad about how shitty it was. lol I was so stoked John Tobias was on it and was let down.

I remember having this game. There was no downloadable patch that I can remember but I do remember you had to send your disc to THQ and they would send you an updated disc. THATS how broken this game was

I remember my mom taking me to walmart to get this for me as a reward for doing extra chores. Maybe it's because I instantly installed the patch when I got home but I don't remember any of these issues. Yeah it wasn't no mercy good (which I still went back to for my real fix) or even SvR good, I had fun with this game on my xbox. I remember beating the story with my CAW.

That’s why I kept my PS2 around as long as I did. I didn’t play another wrestling game on an Xbox until WWE 12 for the 360.

Wow, talk about two completely different experiences. First let me start by saying that I guess i was damn lucky because i know i didnt have the version of the game the came with the patch already on the disk and yet i dont remember having to download the patch to get access to it. I did have to create a superstar. Anyway that being said It would not have saved the game for you it was the best part in my opinion but since everything else you talked about is still present it would have been a terrible experience. I enjoy this type of content from you, and now on to something better because you deserve it. Take care brother
