My main gripe with this rating is that the 1991 version of Sting sits at the same rating as his modern counterpart. However, I did manage to find fifteen more ratings that make me think they were assigned at random by a 2K intern. With that said, Rusev and Breeze have already made their case about their ratings being unfair, so they will not be mentioned in this list. Whether they are serious or they are just having fun with it, the superstars of WWE are aware of their rating and they are more than willing to discuss it.

Rusev was also displeased with his own rating, despite the fact that he was given an 86, which places him in the company of legends like Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko and Tatsumi Fujinami. For example, Tyler Breeze simply could not believe his low rating in this year’s game. The wrestlers themselves seem to place a lot of pride in their own rating. Senseless as it is, arguing about ratings is a lot of fun. Furthermore, WWE 2k17, just like the other major sports games, also allows players to edit the ratings of their favourite superstars. After all, in a discipline where endings are pre-determined, a wrestler will only be as good as WWE wants him or her to be.

Arguing about ratings in a game about professional wrestling, which is as much sports as it is soap opera, might seem even more futile. Most games these days will allow you to edit a player’s rating if you aren’t satisfied and, in the end, the rest of the team’s stats will more than make up for any big discrepancies. Arguing about ratings in sports games is quite frankly pointless.
