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. 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.
