Every WWE 2K17 Superstar Rating Revealed & Ranked Worst To Best
85. Jim Neidhart
Rating: 82
Last Year's Rating: 85
A bit of a dive from last year's rating for Jim Neidhart, which doesn't seem at all justified (a three point shaving is a bigger deal for Legends than it is for jobbers when you're levelling out the field). But that's the way it goes sometimes.
84. Alberto Del Rio
Rating: 83
Last Year's Rating: N/A
He was a solid 88 in WWE 2K15, if that's any help, and perhaps 2K felt some pressure to reflect the fact that he was out of the WWE picture for last year's game, and then has left the company AGAIN after a short-lived and poorly booked return. Or maybe it's just an age thing?
83. Xavier Woods
Rating: 83
Last Year's Rating: 83
Xavier Woods gets a mid-card consolidation on last year's rating, which is about right. He's certainly not the same level as Sheamus or Del Rio in real life, but that's the way this whole handicap rating system works.
82. Sheamus
Rating: 83
Last Year's Rating: 90
It's a funny old game: Cesaro and Sheamus have done pretty much exactly the same in the past few months, but one maintains at 88 and the other plummets from 90 to 83. Sure, the League Of Nations was an unfortunate blip and he deserves some blow-back for that, but he's dropped pretty viciously even with that in mind.
81. Rick Rude
Rating: 83
Last Year's Rating: 82
Another mid-card rating for the Ravishing one, whose muscles look so defined they're sore. If this was my game, I'd be boosting him immediately, because he's certified top 50 every time. Just not in 2K's eyes apparently.
