The game features a variety of match types, including Standard, Hardcore, Table, Ladder, TLC, Battle Royal, Steel Cage, Hell in a Cell, and Ironman. There are a variety of weapons available, as well as the ability to perform a number of different grapples with them. The game features a wide selection of signature moves used by wrestlers, and all wrestlers in the game has his/her unique entrances. A large portion of the gameplay revolves around counter moves, with different buttons countering different maneuvers and allow different responses, such as strike and grapple. There are meters based on color for the competitors in a match, and a pin is possible when the player's meter is fully red and their opponent's is fully blue. Each wrestler has five front grapples, five rear grapples, and miscellaneous grapples, such as an evade and grapple in which a wrestler will dodge and then perform a hold or throw.
WrestleMania X8 features a simple grappling system. In addition, Stone Cold Steve Austin was replaced with The Rock in the cover on later releases due to Austin's walkout from the promotion following the game's release. Although the packaging and paraphernalia feature the WWE logo, the actual game still contains the WWF logo, however the logos were removed from the "fist" SmackDown (the "ovaltron" stage is also included) and Raw stages. The game's development was complete before the World Wrestling Federation's lawsuit with the World Wildlife Fund, however it was released afterwards, causing the packaging to be initially released with the unabbreviated "World Wrestling Federation" before changing to feature the new World Wrestling Entertainment logo.
