The list of stars Shane McMahon is better than in WWE 2K18 include Bayley, Becky Lynch, Dolph Ziggler, and Luke Harper. The 'Boy Wonder' also shares a rating of 84 with Baron Corbin, Neville, Sami Zayn, and Sasha Banks. Considering Banks has been one of WWE's premier female names for a few years now and Neville breathed new life into the ailing Cruiserweight division, that seems unfair.

Meanwhile, Shane has had decent matches against The Undertaker and AJ Styles over the past two years. He also did well at Survivor Series, but is he really as good as 2K think he is? McMahon doesn't have bad matches, and he is great on the mic, but he's not a full-time wrestler. That needs to be put across even in video game form.

It's almost like 2K watched some old Shane matches (like his amazing battle against Kurt Angle at King of the Ring 2001) and thought, 'man, he's good'. Times have changed though. Shane is a little older and shouldn't be able to handily beat guys like Ziggler and Harper in WWE 2K18.
