WWE 2K17: Predicting The 25 Highest Rated Superstars
7. Braun Strowman
Last Year: N/A
Prediction: 92
If there's one big thing to take away from 2K's ratings system, it's that monsters count for more, no matter who they are. The developer believes in the power of the almighty squash, and there's obviously a little of Vince McMahon's penchant for big muscle-bound guys on the team.
Braun Strowman might be no more than a blunt object in WWE and the next Big Show in the making, but he has to be seen as a monster, even in the game. After all, the product - whether it's on screen or in a game - needs these guys to sell a sense of conquerable adversity (the same psychology goes into horror movie villains and action movie henchmen - all power without the substance, when it comes down to it).
It might not be right, but it's painfully inevitable that Strowman's rating will be big. And if it wasn't for the upper cap, 92 might even be conservative.
