WWE 2K17: 10 Best WCW CAWs
Where the big boys play!
WWE's latest video game offering, WWE 2K17, has been on the market for two months so far, and thousands and thousands of fans have been playing it around the clock, getting their money's worth. While it still has its flaws, the offering is graphically superior to any of its predecessors, and more importantly, it's a whole lot of fun.
One of the most entertaining parts of the complete package is the create-a-wrestler suite. With more details and options than ever before, it's possible to create original characters with a stunning level of clarity, or make wrestlers who aren't in the game look and feel like they were programmed in from the very beginning. While the CAW process can be complicated and a bit tedious, the fact that online game functions allow players to download files that other players have created means that everyone has access to the same creations.
For this piece, we'll be looking at some of the greatest WCW CAWs in the game. While most of the 1990s wrestling giant's main-eventers have already been included in 2K17 as downloadable content, the bulk of the midcard stalwarts were omitted. This list looks at the best of the rest.
Here are the 10 best WCW CAWs in WWE 2K17:
10. Ultimo Dragon
Ultimo Dragon is one of the most decorated legends in wrestling history. Most U.S. fans know him best for his WCW run, during which time he held a staggering 10 championships simultaneously - WCW's Cruiserweight Championship, CMLL's NWA World Middleweight Championship, and the eight belts that comprised the J-Crown. Though his runs in WCW and WWE were brief, he's truly one of the most innovative men in the sport. As a trainer, he's responsible for cultivating a new generation of stars, including current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada.
2K17 user JMerten91 has created an Ultimo Dragon worthy of the name, with the star's signature mask and shoulderpads, plus all of the dazzling moves he used and continues to use (including his innovated Asai Moonsault). JMerten91 has actually uploaded multiple Ultimo Dragons, offering users a choice of outfit.
