What I find more interesting, and the reason I made this thread is that they finally added more individual attributes! I always say more is better and it's nice to see there's more ratings to set the wrestler's apart. This year we have:

Strike Power
Grapple Power
Submission
Strike Defense
Grapple
Speed
Agility
Adrenaline
Recovery
Toughness
Charisma
Tag Team

Last year we only had 7 attributes, so this is a big upgrade. I'm hoping for even more next year.

Cena at 86??? I like CM Punk more, but I cant hate on Cena..86 is very low....I'd leave it all the same prolly and just edit CM Punk to a 96 or 97. And Cena to a 97..either way they are equal imo with one better than other in certain areas. CM Punk def has to be a 99 for Charisma

For real. Heavily biased ratings. Jesus.

[goh]

Though to seriously adress the issue.

Much like the love for No Mercy,well them nostaligia glasses are a helluva thing.

Sorry to tell you this but WWE Austin wasn't very good in the ring. While he was mighty fine in WCW,particularly when tagged with Brian Pillman his WWE days didn't produce much. A few classics here and there. He might win a popularity contest but matches consisting of punch,kick,get beat on for 10 minutes,thesz press,stunner weren't exactly top notch. Taking the Sandman's gimmick (see video thread for huge irony),Whipwreck's finisher and yelling WHAT? doesn't deserve a 95. When it comes to in game ratings Austin should only be highly rated in recovery,toughness and charisma.

Much like Austin,The Rock would win a popularity contest but in ring,he was above average. If we were to judge this soley on in-ring skill as other sports games judge their talent Rocky would be about a 84-88. With the possibility of him being current day Rock who hasn't wrestled in years...well yah. There's not really an entertainment rating. High marks for grappling,toughness,adrenaline and charisma.

As Undertaker is presented as current day Undertaker he should be nowhere near a 97. Yes he had a fantastic match with Trips at WM but what about his last run of any length? He was slow,sloppy and looked awful. Thus being moved to the legend catagorey. Prime 'Taker deserves high ratings in everything but speed.

But guess "WHAT?" Punk gets high ratings in everything except tag team. Well he doesn't really deserve them in strike power but as there's no technical striking catagorey that'll have to do.

Good news is you can rate them whatever the heck you want. Unless they make us pay for it again,in which case you still can but have to shell out for it. K2 can be a 99 if you'd like. Though we'll probably have to rescale everything to make it presentable again.
