A Look Back at WWE 2K19 

Remember when the biggest issue with 2K19 was them not having Tommaso Ciampa and Nikki Cross in the game? Compare that to the game that came after this.

2k19 was a lot better than I expected at the time I got it.

This is still the best 2k wrestling game they made so far, still playing it to this day

This game is still being played by many people.

The longest played WWE2K game ever. Here's hoping 2K22 will end that.

2k19 is my most played wrestling game

Yes, thank you, finally somebody is acknowledging how great of a wrestling game WWE2K19 is

The MyCareer was one of the greatest Careers I’ve played in my life tbh!

I adore this game! The menu, the soundtrack, the fantastic flow of each and every match, legit this game has the perfect pacing for any type of match you want to have.

When we needed him most Pav pulled through

2k19 and 2k14 are already the best 2k games

The 3 wrestling games I play the most atm are 2K19, All Stars, and 2K14

I recently started getting into wrestling games again, and when I had to buy one, I bought 2k19 despite 2k20 being out. I made the right call.

Today’s been dry af thank god for this upload

I still play 2k19 everyday it’s the best 2k game imo

i feel like this game indirectly became a top 5 wrestling game due to it being a very good game & also due to how piss poor wwe 2k20 was. that's why i have really high hopes for 2k22 to being the series back to where it should be.

I really like WWE 2K19. The My Career mode was much better, Daniel Bryan got his own 2K Showcase, and AJ Styles was on the cover

My favorite thing I ever did on this game was starting a Ruthless Aggression Era Universe Mode. It was a lot of work to get all the wrestlers and arenas but I had a ton of fun starting it off. I wasn't sure if I wanted to follow real life or let the game do its own thing tho so I stopped after a while but now that ik how the game works, I'd let the game do its own thing if I started over. I hadn't played wrestling games or even watched wrestling since 2012-13ish, around the time of the Summer of Punk but I had so much fun with this one I casually started keeping up with wrestling again

Still my favorite WWE 2K game. Absolutely loved 2K19. I love 2K22 as well.

The only bad thing that 2k19 got was the Cruiserweight roster

The fact that The Miz picked “Skin” by Bullet For My Valentine makes this game 100x better for me.

'BLOW MY MIND' IS SO RELATABLE

I actually love 2k19 i still have it and play it

The fun truly lies within how creative you can be with the game. I book my own universe, I don’t let it be random. I fully do all booking and determine the outcomes and get shocked sometimes when the match doesn’t go my way. I played 2k20 for awhile and the main reason I went back to 19 is because I’m not a fan of the new controls for 20. This really is the best of the 2k wrestling games.

icl I only bought this game to revisit my childhood and now I remember how fun wwe games were

The most fun I ever had with this game was using community creation and universe mode. I basically recreated the entire era of 98 using wrestlers, shows and PPV'S from WWF, WCW and ECW.

To think this game came before 2k20, wow all that progress🥲

2k19 was so good ... The only thing 2k20 and 2k22 game has over 2k19 is commentary .. rest it's 2k19 -- Menu -- Gameplay -- Roster -- Universe Mode -- Career Mode -- Showcase -- OMG Moments -- Arenas Last but not the lease PAIGE was present in 2k19 It was just the perfect game .. i don't think they can make a better game

I’m still playing 19 😂

pretty sure the game was programmed to play the “blow my mind” song on every start up, it still haunts me to this day 😂

When this game came out, i didnt even notice it at all like fr i never noticed it came out. But my mom got me the game for christmas and i wasn’t expecting it because i never even knew about it. So obviously i was like “thank you” and never played it. But a few months go by and i just said “yk what? Lemme try this game it might be good”. And when i played it for the first time i was so invested and happy with the game. It was so good.

I’ll always have good memories of this game. I won the gold edition of 2k19 at comic con, at a tournament

Still playing 2k19 now 😀

2k19 is in my personal Mount Rushmore of wrestling games tbh

The only thing I don't like about 2K19 is when I play it at night and then the bright ass menu screen blinds me like the "my eyes" guy from spongebob

best roster of all time...my son and i went back to this recently and we were blown away by the roster

I love your videos. Your passion shines through and you just feel like a person. Not like a RU-vidr, acting out because they want to be in the good graces of a company or trying to be 'positive' just to be positive. But you speak the truth, and speak from the heart. You just sound like you care and I love it! You don't hold anything back and I just feel connected in a way other wrestling RU-vidrs aren't for me. Just a fan talking to fans.

2k14 was very good back in the day still playing sometimes

I remember you could give the wrestlers a mixed reaction from the crowd and that made me very happy!

I Still Play 2k19 Everyday ! This Game Was A Gem This Whole Time & We Never Knew It 🤦🏾

2k14 and 2k19 are the best ones in the 2k series.

Definitely a modern classic.

Even 2k had to extend the servers for 2k19 cos 2k20 was shit, as an apology.

I don’t know what 2K are up to, but if I were them, I’d literally just recreate WWE 2K19.

I thought people hated 2k19 purely because of the MyCareer for its cheesiness, but I happy to see everyone loving this game

*One thing I didn’t like about WWE2K19 was that the wrestlers menu screen poses was just plain & boring. In 2K18 we had every superstar have each unique poses when we selected them and it felt authentic*

Finally the old videos are back ! I love when you make these types of vids!

Friendly reminder that 2k19 is still 60 bucks and 2k20 is only 20 now

WrestlingGif uploading is the best thing that happens on Monday

18' and '19 are my are pretty solid to me. 2K19 is my favorite until til dis day. I like when the wrestlers climb to the ropes or corner and have a realistic way of getting up. The gameplay is the so good. Great video man 👌🏼

My first introduction into the 2k wrestling games was 2k18 n I was shocked on how drastically they changed n now im hearing this one was the best, wish I did more research before i got 2k18

I feel like WWE 2K19 was like Yuke's last hurrah (and it was) since they were leaving. Glad they gave us one last hell of a game to play at.

Till now i still play on a moded wwe 2k19 i have all the superstars from every era with their attires from current or past time, managed to create a perfect roster of wrestlers from every era even added aew roster, probably the most wwe 2 k game i invested time into i can literally match any wrestlers i want choosing any attire i want imagine the freedoom that creates + the core gameplay is really fun so imo 2k19 is peak 2k.

I still to this day have so much fun playing this game. The universe, showcase and especially my career modes are fantastic!

This game is definitely a huge upgrade after every 2K game. It really was great. Great video, homie.

This is my most played game on my xbox and im still obsessed with it.

*Yay!! Been waiting for this since you announced it!!!* 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still the best modern WWE game imo. Just wish the servers never went out 😭

The Miz choosing "Skin" by BFMV... That was aweeeesome! BTW, great video!

I actually play WWE 2K19 and WWE 2K17 more than WWE 2K22 and WWE 2K23.

Yooo shoutout to the miz for choosing skin by bullet that song was awesomeeeee

Don’t forget you can make a custom MITB briefcase ........yes

Career mode I never finished, I tend to never finish story modes in wrestling games, but this one where you fight Barron Blade in NXT for some UNGODLY reason me and Blade had a five star banger. We were bloodied up going insane-o mode which just made a crazy visual for the cutscenes in the match. 2K19 is defitnetly up there with as one of my favorite wrestling games.

To this day I still play this game. It still feels current and competitive

It was a solid wrestling game on top of just being a fun game in general. The CAW mode is excellent in this one.

2k19 mycareer basically saved the game.

@WrestlinGifs always love your videos this game is one of my favorites wrestling games of all time Pav your videos are legendary

am i the only one who likes the song danial bryan picked? like as soon as i join i hear it and i jam out saying “blow my mind”

2K19 was a very solid WWE game. Obviously not the best ever but probably the best on the PS4/Xbox One generation of consoles. I played this game a bunch and I'll probably revisit it soon because of this video.

You said it's fast and smooth. THAT is what I wanted. Thank you. I might actually get it now.

Bro I was waiting for this video to drop since I was binge watching your videos over the weekend & you released the one I wanted !

2K19 Was An Awesome Game FrFr. One Thing Especially I Enjoyed In Universe Mode Was That Under Each Wrestler That U Would Select During A Match, It Would Have The Show That They’re On To Make It Easier To Make Matches. Also Shout Out To Whoever Suggested “Ric Flair Drip” For This Game, Shii Was 🔥🔥

WWE 2K19 is the video game equivalent to 2005 John Cena(Chain Gang Soilder For Life)

LETS GOOO Ive been waiting for this

I love that I refound love for this game. And redoing all the old characters I created and too see what I thought was cool at the time

I have watched this video so many times because you gained my love and experience of the game. Thank You !

I liked the soundtrack, the roster, the creation suite, my carreer mode and the 2kshowcase mode

We need 2 videos a week😭you’re the goat

I’m happy that I “borrowed” this from a friend

I’m so glad I got this game I almost passed when 2k20 was coming out but then I got 2k20 I played probably 4 hours max of the game and went right back to this

3:40 I feel you! 😂😂

No matter what new version of 2K game comes out 2K20, 2K22, 2K23 I still come back to this.

This had such good community creations, I did 2 main universe modes, one was 2005-2007 and the other was 1998, both stacked

2k19: OK, I'm quite good,,,, 2k20:Ah Shit, here we go again,,,

I’m playing it right now actually, I’m still having fun with it. I also consider it one of the goat wrestling games. So fun

With mods, this game is even better. Nice upload Pav.

To this day 2k19 is my go-to for WWE 2K games. I've since pretty much stopped playing 2K22 and went back to 2K19.

Its weird that people actually loved 2K19. Glad it wasn’t just my bias of owning a new wrestling for the first time and it was actually great

Let's not forget that the Community Creations got better from the previous game. I mean, on 2k18 some layers and images you "downloaded" don't show. 2k19's small improvement on the layers and images made it amazing for custom rosters, divisions, championships, shows. It was a small improvement but a necessary one.

I still play 2k19 till this day my CAW roster is crazy shout out to the creators we need this vibe back plus GM MODE !!

I never thought i would have such a great fun playing wwe 2k game after 2k14 but....2k19 is so great that i am still playing it.....

I'll never forget playing this game and getting so hyped when I dodged a finisher attempt from behind me and then the person in front of me who went for a superkick, knocked the hell out of the dude I reversed which gave me the chance to hit my finisher on the guy using the superkick and I went crazy 😂 still play this game all the time!

I have 600+ hours on the fucking game. I like it a little bit

i honestly just started playing this a couple days ago out of boredom, i was pleasantly surprised at how much fun i was having

Seth Rollins and the miz reppin the metal genre in wwe games. I respect that immensely

Definitely looking forward to Yukes next wrestling game. They will have a good roster for it.

I feel good saying that 2k22 is a really good game really bare bones but great starting point

So glad this video dropped, I was planning on buying this to hold me over until 2k22 cause I heard 2k20 was bad, I’m trying to get back into wrestling

I was waiting for this video for years

Still gets a place in my gameplay between mgs V, gow and pirate warriors 4 etc
