WWE 2K17: 10 DLC Characters We Most Want
7. Rey Mysterio
WWE 2K17’s current roster isn’t exactly crammed with quality high-fliers at this point. Neville, Sin Cara, and Kalisto are there, but it’s slim pickings outside of said trio, and even if the Cruiserweights are added at some point, there’s little chance of 2K and WWE throwing them all into the mix.
Playing as smaller, faster wrestlers is always fun in 2K, especially with 2K16’s focus on presenting the game as a simulation rather than an arcadey experience. Few things are more satisfying than outwitting a much larger character with speed and agility, and who better to do this with than the greatest high-flyer of all-time?
Though Rey’s later-day WWE career was less than memorable, he was hugely popular in his prime, and genuinely one of the most exciting wrestlers on the planet. With Eddie Guerrero already coming into the fold, it makes all the sense in the world for Rey to step-in alongside him, through the nuances of his current Lucha Underground contract will likely make this difficult. Still, Rey is an inclusion that WWE and 2K should be going all-out to make happen.
