WWE 2K18: 10 Worst Looking Wrestlers

7. Shinsuke Nakamura

Good news for those who enjoyed the original Yakuza game on PS2. 2K have created a homage to main character Kazuma Kiryu in WWE 2K18, and all they've done is rename him Shinsuke Nakamura to fit in with the game. Seriously, Nakamura looks like Kiryu's in-game character from 2005.

16 years later, he should really look a lot better. In WWE 2K17, Nakamura suffered from a slightly blurry face. 2K have fixed that, but they appear to have mixed the SmackDown sensation with a melted candle to produce a character that wouldn't look out of place on an old PSOne title. Again, the body is fine, but that face needs some work.

Nakamura could never be accused of being WWE's most handsome man, but 2K have done him a disservice here. The skin texture of his forehead and cheeks don't match those on his chin or just beneath the eyes. Actually, scrap Yakuza. This is like something from 2001's Onimusha: Warlords.
