WWE 2K17 Character Roster: The Good and the Bad

=====================================================================================

The wait is finally over for WWE fans who've been eagerly anticipating the release date for WWE 2K17. After months of speculation, rumors, and leaks about which legendary Superstars would be included in this year's installment, 2K has officially unveiled the full roster.

With a whopping 130+ playable characters to choose from, this is easily one of the largest rosters ever assembled by the developers at Visual Concepts. The list boasts an impressive array of current WWE stars alongside some nostalgic names that will transport fans back in time – think Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg, and even the Attitude Era icon himself, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart.

However, as is often the case with such massive releases, there are bound to be a few omissions from this list. While many might argue these omissions were simply due to licensing or other business-related issues (we won't speculate here), it's hard not to feel slightly disappointed that certain Superstars didn't make the cut.

Some notable absences include:

* Cesaro – Despite being one of the most popular and talented wrestlers currently competing in WWE, 'The Swiss Superman' is nowhere to be found on this roster.

* The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray & D-Von) - While their brother Bubba 'Bullet' was included as a playable character last year, it's surprising that these wrestling legends weren't given another chance.

Despite these omissions however, the overall roster for WWE 2K17 still manages to impress. With an incredible array of Superstars from different eras represented, there's something for everyone here – whether you're a die-hard fan of Attitude Era action or prefer the high-flying acrobatics of today's modern stars.

But wait! If even this massive roster isn't enough to satisfy your WWE gaming needs, fear not my friends. As always, the world of downloadable content (DLC) is here to save the day!

With countless custom character packs available for download from third-party creators around the web – ranging from female versions of beloved Superstars like Ashley Massaro-inspired Aaron Web to more...unorthodox interpretations such as Mikey's Undertaker rip-off – there's no limit to what you can create and add into your WWE 2K17 universe.

So grab a controller, get ready for some intense action-packed wrestling mayhem, and let us know in the comments below: who do YOU think should've been included on this year's roster?
