I feel like some of these guys were underrated given where they were in 2005: Batista- 88(he and Cena's 2005 were practically the same yet Cena gets a 90 and Dave's 2 points lower?) Big Show-82(same rating as Eugene lol.) Booker T-83 Edge-84 (He was the MITB winner and was regularly facing main eventers, how was his rating so low? Any way, good thing he gets 90s in SVR games that came after this.)
I agree with you, I find Steve Austin - 90 and Taker - 91 underestimated. Orton too, I don't understand how Christian can have more than Edge and Kurt Angle - 95 is overrated
Fair rate actually for me 1) Cena and Batista were strong but not ON TOP, they just became champions It is fair to put them below Angle, Triple H, HBK and Undertaker who were main eventer since years. It makes sense to put Batista below than Cena because Cena was main eventer in Smackdown since large psrt of 2004 and all 2005, Batista exploded in 2005 only 2) Big Show was good but pretty middle of the row, not a shining year, he was actually pretty badly until 2007 Besides Big show was always penalized by speed and charisma but has top strength and endurance which are much more important 3) Edge was improving but middle of the row as well He was not yet a main eventer, rather ready to explode in 2005/2006 season (in fact in the next version has a high rate) 4) Booker T average season... Honestly booker top years were 2002 and 2006 (in 2006 he was often second stage main eventer and had an historical feud with Benoit), where he has high rates
@@NgannouSix9kurt angle gets 96 next game. In this era Kurt really was a top 2 talent and was consistently main eventing, or, beating those main eventing
