Reception
The game was met with average to very mixed reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 65.93% and 65 out of 100 for the Xbox version; 58.53% and 55 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version; and 52.84% and 50 out of 100 for the GameCube version.

The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the PS2 version a score of four stars out of five and said that its characters "have an exaggerated action-figure look, but they move smoothly and have a robust collection of moves." However, Playboy gave the same version a score of 60% and said, "Unless you're desperate to see Captain Lou Albano in action again (and who isn't?), scant reason for a purchase presents itself. Casual wrestling fans can pass." BBC Sport gave said version a score of 56%, stating: "When you press a button to pull off a move there's far too long a wait for any action, and the game actually builds up a queue which can mean you are waiting for moves to happen before you can continue."
