What Made WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth So Fun?

- This game will always hold special place in my heart, SmackDown Shut Your Mouth came out in 2002 and this game was just something else. The improvements from the older games were so monumental. The amount of joy this game brought a generation is crazy, however Here Comes the Pain overshadows this. However this game deserves some love too. Everything was just fun. However what made it fun? Lets go back to 2002 and find out
Ahh guess whose back, back again. more videos on PPVs and Video Games coming btw, nonstop content.. GOOD content tho, no clickbait BS over here.
I’m jus trying to be the chill youtuber who jus makes quality videos on something I love. Which is of course wrestling. So I’m hoping you guys are enjoying everything. Thank you guys. You guys don’t understand how much all this support means to me🙏🏼
Keep up the gud stuff man your content is really entertaining
Could you do what made svr 2007 so good? Please reply
Do a fire pro returns episode or fire pro in general
can u do what made wwe svr 2011 so fun
Can you do a video on No Mercy 2007? It’s a very underrated and forgotten pay per view in my opinion especially Triple H fighting 3 matches in one night. That main event with randy orton against triple h for the wwe championship in a last man standing match is an instant classic
Its a shame that so much fun things are removed from modern wwe games for graphics 😔😔
😩😱😩😿
Agree, all about the graphics
This game so fun and Kurt angle and edge was my favorite to use on here
I miss I quit matches so much 😢
Nas is like in the background. 🦾🦾
I've got Smackdown vs Raw 2007, 10, and 11 and it was 🔥
Usually i hear Here Comes The Pain get all the love. Bout time somebody put some respect on Smackdown Shut Your Mouth. WWE games need more freedom basically. I remember u could make Spider Man and WEB SWING through the arena 😂 WWE gotta stop taking itself too seriously. Let us do silly shit like ride a shopping cart down a entrance and crashing into the ring & jumping from areas that would be deadly in real life lol
WWE itself is very over the top, the games should be as well. Not to the level of All Stars but those old games.
Kamarty Petersen what game could you be spiderman
Yes. Thank you
Uh no. You absolutely could not EVER do that in this game. Wtf are you even talking about? Spider-Man? Web swinging around the arena? How much crack did you smoke when you played these games?
dildonius He’s talking about the CAW entrance.
One thing you forgot to mention was that this game was the first wrestling game in the series where you could actually reverse a finisher, but at the cost of one of your own finishers. It was a huge deal to be able to do that at the time and always felt epic when you were able to successfully do it. I'll always remember playing as Steve Austin and being shocked when my opponent countered my Stunner for the first time.
You forgot that this game had the rawest intros of all time 🤦🏽♂️🔥🔥
ChildishMoose my bad g😭
Facts
Ironic because this is a Smackdown game
i never understood how or why wrestling games remove fun , and crazy features (such as fighting anywhere backstage and in time square etc) . imagine being able to do all the stuff you used to be able to do , with current graphics. some stuff are just too good to be true 🤦🏽♂️
Idk why they don’t give us what we want, like give us gm mode like the shut your mouth one! Imagine! Fighting in a bar where you see your rival! Omg
@@epiccow6735 like I said many times before you can have all the graphics you want but you can't replace gameplay. I love the new graphics but there's a reason I have my PS2 on standby at all times it's too fun. Not to mention everyone loves the dark souls series. But they don't know that armored core was the start of from software. Armored core is the reason I still own a PS2 and always of course the wwe games and classics like sly 2.
Never understood how or why they remove the fun ?
Well, mainly 2 reasons.
1st reason: Realism/Simulation.
They've said it many times, they want to make the games " as close as what you see when you're watching a WWE show " .
Thing is, WWE haven't been fun nor exciting since the beginning of the PG Era ( which started around 2007 and got worse up to 2009, 2009 became the full PG Era and they stayed in that era ever since ) . So the games have to reflect that. Back in the days, when watching WWE, you'd see a guy make a tour bus explode, a guy cementing the boss's car, a guy giving a milk bash to the people in the ring, 2 guys fighting in a supermarket, and so on. So the games were crazy and fun to reflect that. Seeing Jeff Hardy do a Swanton Bomb from the top of SD's fist in the game was believable, because he's crazy enough to do it for real ( and didn't Shane McMahon jump from the top of the stage a few years later ? Shows that this kind of arcade elements, as crazy and fun as they can sound, were also pretty realistic, as they were things that could happen on TV at anytime ) .
That kind of crazy and fun died many years ago in the real WWE, so sadly, to keep offering a product " as close as possible to what you see on TV every week " , well, the games can't have any of these things anymore, since we don't see stuff like that on TV anymore, and aren't likely to ever see that in the future neither.
2nd reason: WWE and Vince thirst for control.
In the old games, the devs could pretty much do anything they wanted, Vince would only have the final word about the roster. But for the rest of the game, he didn't really care much, so the devs could have fun with it and do the stuff they wanted to. As long as Vince was making a lot of money from the sales, that's all he truly cared about.
Sadly, over the years, Vince's thirst for control got bigger and bigger. It shows on the quality of the WWE shows, and on the games too, as he now wants to decide every single aspect of the game.
Why do you think Yukes ended up leaving ? They said they were used to the yearly releases so that wasn't really a problem for them. No, they just got sick and and tired of having Vince and the WWE constantly on their backs telling them " No, you can't make this " , " No, that's not allowed " . They weren't having pleasure making wrestling games anymore. So they left. They want to keep making wrestling games, even with a yearly release if necessary, but they want to be able to make fun games that they enjoy creating, without having a control thirsty freak constantly on their backs telling them " No, you can't do this. No, you need to remove that " .
And from the rumors I've heard, there's a bad relationship between the WWE and 2K. Apparently 2K are already tired of WWE's control on creativity, and the WWE is considering taking back the license from 2K due to the bad relationship they have.
Shows how hard it has become to work for the WWE for game devs.
@@williambrulip512 Vince needs to stop having control of the games like Vince shouldn’t even consider who goes in the game it should just be up to the developers but yeah vince needs to stop having control of the games like because he be making the games boring
@@WowSuchGaming2009 he is old school what does he know 😳 🤬😡😢😢😢
2002 is a very underated year in WWF/WWE history, probably my favorite, just like this game!
It was my fav game of all time when I was a kid.
No thanks to Katie Vick.
2002 had the best roster hands down
@@jp3813 2002 had the best roster. That made up for all the weirdness
@@MitsubishiLancerEvo Mainly in Smackdown. Raw became mostly awful.
"This is when wrestling games wanted to be need for speed, not gran turismo" literally couldn't be explained any better! Lol had to subscribe after I heard that, keep up the great vids!
I would have said midnight club since need for speed more realistic than midnight club though
Unpopular Opinion:
I prefer this over
Here Comes The Pain.
Omg im not the only one
Me too kinda its so much faster then H.C.T.P
Thaaank yooooou
Only thing better about HCTP is the controls
I thought I’m the only one.
My favorite part about the Season Mode was you weren't forced to win every match. If you kept loosing matches you'd get sent down to Heat and wouldn't be booked on PPV.
Also it was cool that you could play Season Mode as anyone on the roster including current champions and the game didn't force you to make a new CAW every time you wanted to start over.
Did you ever play Wrestlemania 21 for the original Xbox? lol
Countless hrs!
Yes
Love your channel
Some of you didn't grow up playing triple threat tornado tag ladder matches and it shows LOL. The delivery of that line was gold
It's my favourite and roster was damn good... I played as Jeff hardy all the time and that swanton bomb off the smackdown fist was just 🔥
I played as Stacy Keibler.
Could not agree more, i love WWE Smackdown Shut Your Mouth.
I love the roster. I wish Jacqueline was in the game.
@@nathanbeanreversedmusic123 you’re the only person in history that has wanted to play as Jacqueline lol. How sad
WWE 2K15 Trash, WWE 2K16 Meh, WWE 2K17 Boring After A Week, WWE 2K18 Bugfest, WWE 2K19 Boring After 2 weeks im DONE
I don't think 15 is trash but they could do much better
2K14 is the only good "2K" game.
Ur too picky
GameZone87 I find my self having more fun with the simulation based gameplay whether it be great matches or putting on matches with two controllers
I actually had the second most fun playing 2K17. Probably because of the personal experience I had.. but the MOST fun with a 2K game I had is WWE2K14.
Bro this game was sickkk perfect mix of the attitude era wcw roster
SYM is so fun, everytime I play this game I always go on top of the stages
Eshan 5 star frog splash becomes 10 star frog splash real quick 😂
I will forever be baffled at just how criminally underrated Shut Your Mouth is compared to No Mercy, SmackDown 1 and 2, and (especially this) Here Comes the Pain.
And the most underrated UA-camr out with another banger
This game was top notch, but Here Comes The Pain just beats it. That game was perfection.
Absolutely not. Everything but the grappling system was a downgrade from shut your mouth. The player models, commentary, season mode, arenas, backstage areas. Shut your mouth was simply the goat. Fk out of here with your basic bitch of an opinion about here comes the pain.
@ shut your mouth the cpu fought like their real life counter parts.
Ehh tbh shut your mouth had a better roster and season mode
@@backpackmack3013 Thats a tough one to debate I have the games still and goldberg at the time was the icing on the cake. Also more emphasis on tag teams.
@@backpackmack3013 for some reason shut your mouth had everyone separated and sort of neglected the tag team division I guess maybe a lot of teams were separated at the time.
IMO I loved this game more than Here Comes The Pain
2002 was the greatest wrestling year of the 2000s.
The create a wrestler mode was great in this game. I recreated more jacked & colorful versions of the whole roster. They even had a newer Kane mask in it and I created a flawless Deadman Taker & Goldberg.
I loved it because a lot of the early 2002 late 2001 storylines were in the game, which made the game ‘up to date’ you could even do your own draft at the start. Stone Cold was a free agent to either sign for SD or RAW. NwO storylines in the season mode were fun, the story cutscenes were fun to watch, fighting in different parts of the arenas was endless fun with your friends. I loved this and HCTP but in terms of a Season mode it’s 100% SYM. The only thing that I would of loved them to keep in the game was the WWF Attitude Era belt and the WCW Title, But it was then replaced by the single undisputed title.
I think the question from people who started w/ Here Comes the Pain is, why should we bother to play Shut Your Mouth when even you said that everything it has to offer was perfected by HCTP? The only things I can think of aside from the season mode are certain outside areas such as the subway station as well as being able to climb the TitanTron in some arenas. Even then, those pale in comparison to all the things you can do in the sequel.
Good point. I only play HCTP because I find reversing with R2 is way more convenient than using square.
Most underrated game IMO ... it doesnt get that much loved, but it's one of my favorite game ...
Sadly people forgot about this gem because of Here comes the pain
Back when every wrestler had their own unique animations and movesets. I also think that SYM had the best Season Mode to date. So many different variables, it felt like peak Bioware did it lol
Smackdown shut your mouth
Here comes the pain
Smackdown vs Raw 2007 are the 3 best the best wrestling games
you for got smackdown vs raw 2006
2006
BrokenDreams yeah that would have been 4th on the list but I played 2007 more
06 was great but 07 had that crowd fights both are good
Replace 07 with Wwf no mercy and u got it
One thing I loved about Shut Your Mouth was how your opponents would do an over the top flop if you whipped them into an ambulance or the hot water tank in the boiler room. For 2002, the graphics were great, and despite most of the stories being based off real life television storylines, season mode was still fun
Season mode was great, and I loved the way you unlocked things, by winning or competing in matches at certain pay per views.
when your voice ISN’T annoying 😍 >>>
The Shut Your Mouth draft is absolutely wonderful. This, HCTP, and SvR 2006 are the three best wrestling games of all time. Period
This ^
I remember playing this when times were easier, Classic game crazy amount of fun with my friends and putting our money together for a multitap
For me, when they removed the Tornado Triple Threat Tag Team matches and made it tag only, thats when the fun gameplay died for the rest of the series.
Right.. wwe sucks. Also the royal rumble is downright unplayable...
Agreed
This is the quality content I subscribed for!
Talks about remasters and Here comes the Pain. I’d love to see that and this remastered
"Smackdown Shut Your Mouth & Smackdown Here Comes The Pain" are my favorite wrestling games of all time!
Mine too Both of them deserve a Remaster
Glo Gang Promoter what if they remaster all of the Smackdown games (WWF Smackdown - Smackdown here comes the pain) it should be called the Smackdown collection and what if they remaster the Smackdown vs Raw series I think that should be called the Smackdown vs Raw Collection
Glo Gang Promoter yep those games are good too
I just love the ridiculousness of this game. They need to make the modern games more like this game. More arcadey action, tons of weapons, and a ton of stages that aren't just a ring.
Nas is like on the background fire
Indeed
Let me answer that question...
What made Shut Your Mouth so fun?
The fact that, for the majority of us, we were all kids. We were bright eyed and bushy tailed. We loved anything we got our hands on. We just wanted to play video games. We didn't care about graphics or any other superficial jargon. We just wanted to play.
But as we got older, as is the nature of things, we got jaded. Unpopular opinion: if WWE 2K19 was released when Shut Your Mouth was, it would get the same positive reviews. And the reason is because we will always look at the past with rose colored glasses. We will always romanticize the past. Nostalgia is the most prominent drug in human history.
Not saying the game isn't good, just saying that if it was released today everyone would shit on it, like they do everything else.
Well said. Where you were/are in your life when you experience something makes a huge difference.
Not exactly. By this logic all the other wrestling games from the era would be fondly remembered in the same way. Games like WWF attitude and Warzone are from the same era and don't get nearly the amount of praise because they just weren't as good. Nostalgia can make things seem better than they really were, but to say that it was good just because it was from an era when most players are kids is not true.
@@MonoGrinded I know plenty of people who have said they'd play WWF Attitude all day over the new 2k games. I'm not saying that's the case with everyone but I've heard it.
I recently tried playing Shut Your Mouth and I didn't really get much enjoyment out of it.
This is bringing back crazy memories...I spent hours on this game...
Me too. My uncle had this game when he was 65.
just bought this game again i remember playing it way back when lmao i was like 8 playing this game and i just remember me and my brother having the best of times playing me matt hardy and him jeff hardy having a triple threat tornado tag ladder match vs the dudley boys and edge and chritian literally the best times of my life so glad i bought this game again
Yo I never played it when it came out but I got sym and hctp a few years ago and I'm enjoying it especially the story mode. It had different scenarios depending on who you pick man. So much fun.
I completely forgot about this game until the scenes where you would brawl in the subway. This video makes me want to find my PS2 and play this.
First wwe game with the best graphics and BRROOOOOOCKKKK LESSSNNARR
These videos are always cool to listen to while reading.Nice
Not even going to lie to you man. This hit me hard. I remember how fun the season mode used to be. Tbh I just buy the games and create my own shit in universe mode. But I have realized I haven’t played my career since 2k16. Tbh most people do that. That’s why even when we get good games like 2k19, it just feels like a update of 2k15.
EVERYTHING THQ was great. 2k sports is terrible.
ethan salters not everything THQ did was great. There’s a reason people were happy 2k got the license back in 2013. I don’t kno where all this love for THQ is coming from now when everyone hated it back then.
You got good taste in music my guy
I always thought Shut your mouth was better than here comes the pain
SYM was cool. Loved seeing my wrestler running through parking lots, taking the subway, etc. Gameplay was fast paced and fun. Plus it was the last WWE game that had Raven
This was my no mercy. My favorite video game as a kid. I remember even as new games was coming out I would just go back to this one
I swore this was better the H.C.T.P I loved this game
Smackdown shut your mouth was a awesome game ever produced by thq i still have it till this day.
This was the last WWE game with the Attitude era roster. It's my favorite.
Only if they had all these arenas in wwe 2k19. It would actually be over. Btw great vid 💯
I love smdsym the roster is over the top awesome, the game itself is beyond it's day. The WWE game's back then were just so wonderful and fun.
Man,this brings back sweet memories,when games were games.No DLC, no micro- transactions,just good games.
Only thing that sucks about SYM was that there was no submission system or blood. Everything else is great. But of course you got those things in HCTP. I also forgot that you couldn't get weapons in Hell in a cell in those earlier games.
Just got this for Christmas so I came back to watch this video
They don't know how to make wrestling games like these anymore
The 2 smackdown games on the Psx weren't so bad now to think about it , they had ENORMOUS rosters and random generated algorithm season mode similar to Here Comes The Pain. Those with old smartphones who can't emulate the PS2 & PSP games should go for these 2
Just bring it intro graphics is really the best graphics in any wwe game to this day!!!
Thank you man. You just flooded me with nostalgia! This game is living proof that ps2 era games had the most heart!
This is one of the best wrestling games ever made
this game looks better than the current 2k games...
I didn't get a PS2 until summer 2010. And I got three games with it. This was one of them. Some of the best days of my life
Great Game Great Vid You My Friend Have Earned Yourself A New Sub
This was a great time in history
The best story mode ever, to date.
It is the opinions in the story mode and they mattered.
Climb the fist! I remember I had a playstation magazine issue that I saw that trick the first time, and a trick to beat the vice city mission sir yes sir to steal the tank. Great times
I used to play special referee match with 2 refs all the time. Goated match 🔥
Thumbs up. This brought back memories of being a kid back then. I played this game for hours when I got it for Christmas 😂. And Facts. Just Bring It intro trolled the hell out of us.
Freedom equals MOST FUN EVER. This is my favorite of all time. Love how they bounced from falling high up. Especially the cell. I especially loved it when I’d use GameShark for unlimited finishers. Gore all day!! 😁
I honestly liked Smackdown SYM more than HCTP. The only 2 things I wished SYM had was Scott Hall apart of the NWO storyline, and having the 1998 version of the Undertaker in the game. Blood would have been nice too. Other than those few things, this was the best wrestling game for me.
You make amazing content keep up the great work
THIS is the best wrestling game, not Here comes the pain.
no blood, no elimination chamber
james jobber who payed that any attention
@@jamesjones-ez9ug Elimination Chamber didn't become a thing until after SYM came out.
John cena is there you just can't see him
Shut Your Mouth walked so Here Comes the Pain could run
I agree 100%. Both games are good. SYM laid the groundwork for HCTP
love this series, keep it up ! great job dude
The fun and easy to comprehend gameplay is what 2k lack. 2k looks great but it just too much work to pick up. I also hate the realistic fighting style 2k has. Your player gets tired and can’t do moves and takes 20 minutes to get up. Fuck that. It’s wrestling, it’s not real so why build as a real fight simulation? I understand some people like that but I hate it. Which is why 2k should allow for customization to gameplay so that you can have a more fun experience if you want to go that route.
I honestly started with here comes the pain but then i got all of em
Well made video! This and Here Comes The Pain will always be among the best wrestling games ever made in my opinion. I still go back and play these games very often. I'm really glad you made this!
“This game was so 2002.” Yeah, you could create fucking Spider-Man 😂
Why I like this game more than HCTP?
Bro same. Especially the season
And ABUSIVE WORD PLEASE STOP THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE VERBALLY ABUSIVE WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
I grew playing 6 man money in the back with the default selected wrestlers😂🔥
I'm currently bashing this.. i've nearly unlocked everything.. I found out yesterday how you could throw Snowballs I was shocked.. but i'm still yet to jump off the SmackDown Fist or Glitch into the crowd etc.. but this game is amazing.. I remember how stoked I was when I realised I could roam in Season Mode it was epic.
Bro I had this game in 08 my brother saved it and he always thought me how to play until I was good it was a fun game
This game makes me sad everytime because my brother got abducted and this just makes me cry watching you review it
Oh man I’m so sorry for that, so sad. Keep your head up bro. Just remember of all the good times you and your brother had playing this. The memories. Stay strong man🙏🏼
OMG finally! This is the game I had a decade and a half ago, thought it may've been the 2008 one but as soon as I saw the character selection screen at 2:50 I remembered
This game is awesome, you should check out this video I made on the game, makes it look awesome, such a fun game: ua-cam.com/video/Oq7T-25X9o4/v-deo.html
Wwf shut your mouth was a great game. Anyone who has a ps2. They gotta have this game
Damn it man you're doing an amazing work with this series 😍
Bro if u say that taker is your fav star . Then i will give u 10 subscribers from my other accounts😁
Kurt Angle and Lesnar always brought the smoke
I loved this game, and gave my friend and I countless of hours of fun. The only gripe I have with this game was the terrible attire that they chose to give Shawn Michaels. I hated it so much.
Ps. Love the vids, but you need to slow down a bit when you’re talking lol. It’s like you’re speed reading or in a hurry to finish reading a script lol. Also you repeat yourself a bit too much at times. Lol. It’s almost like when you’re writing an essay with a word limit and you’re trying to fulfill the word limit lol.
"This is when wrestling games wanted to be NFS, not GT"
Do we tell him about shift?
We used to give rvd linda mcmahon’s theme. Oddly it fits 😂
It’s a very fun game, but nothing beats WWF No Mercy.
That was my shit back in the day 😀
