8. The Big Show (91)
It makes sense that The Big Show would have a high rating, but there will be a few eyebrows raised over the fact that he's a full 2 points better than Andre The Giant. Realistically, both men should have similar stats in the game, although it does seem that Show is a little nippier in speed than the legendary giant who has influenced his career greatly. That doesn't mean that Big Show is fast, he's not. One of the best things about more recent WWE games is that the developers have started actually making characters play differently from one another. In the early Smackdown games, this was something which was clearly lacking. After all, it was a bit daft to see someone like Funaki lifting up Big Show with relative ease. For players who enjoy running around the ring and coming off the turnbuckles often, Big Show is not a good choice. On the flip side, he's brilliant for those who like a lot of impact behind their power moves, because Show does a lot of damage. He's slow, but he makes up for that with how hard he hits.
