WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is not a fan of his WWE 2K25 rating.
The full edition of WWE 2K25 dropped on March 14th and while fans do have some minor gripes with the popular game, the latest release overall seems to be a hit.
That hasn't been the case with more than a few WWE superstars, however, who have expressed their displeasure with their ratings, including the likes of Roman Reigns and Bayley.

Now, Booker T has joined that list.
On the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker comments on the 77 rating he received for his 2001 version. It's important to note, however, that Booker's overall rating in the game clocked in at 85.
“77, that’s way off the mark. Yeah, that’s way off the mark. Again, it’s whether they like you or not a lot of times. It can be personal, it’s a personal thing sometimes... You know what, it is [messed up]. It really is on so many levels. But, one thing about my character being 85, it can normally beat everyone on the roster.”
Booker T then added what he believes his score should have been in the game.
“I should’ve been no less than 90 in 01’. Again, I’ve been getting the short hand of the stick for quite a while with a lot of these people like that. They’re fanboying out, they vote for their favorite wrestlers, not the best. Look, I get it. I get it, alright?”

Craig Kimbrel lands with World Series contender after latest release
Craig Kimbrel is hoping to make an impact with an MLB team down the stretch, and a World Series contender is giving the former All-Star reliever a shot. Kimbrel agreed to a big-league contract with the Houston Astros on Thursday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Kimbrel began the 2025 season with the Atlanta Braves after signing a minor-league contract with them in March. The right-hander started out with the Double-A Columbus Clingstones and did not give up a hit in three appearances. Kimbrel was then promoted to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers, where he went 1-1 with a 2.00 ERA and 23 strikeouts over 18 innings. The Braves added Kimbrel to their active roster on June 6. He pitched a scoreless seventh inning in Atlanta's 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants that day. Kimbrel allowed a walk and a hit in the inning. The following day, Atlanta made the puzzling decision to designate Kimbrel for assignment. Kimbrel opted for free agency rather than accepting his minor league assignment. He then signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers but never made it to their MLB roster. Kimbrel was granted his release on Thursday and signed with Houston. Kimbrel, 37, is a nine-time All-Star who has pitched for eight different teams during his MLB career. He led the National League in saves four times and was one of the best relief pitchers in the league during his prime. Kimbrel also helped the Boston Red Sox win a World Series in 2018. The Astros were 69-58 entering Thursday and had a 1.5-game lead over the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. If Kimbrel is healthy, he could provide Houston with some valuable bullpen depth over the final stretch of the season.
Jerry Jones: Micah Parsons' agent told me where we could stick contract details
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to deal with David Mulugheta insofar as to get Micah Parsons' agent to fill out the paperwork on the contract extension that was already negotiated. During an appearance with Michael Irvin on Thursday, Jones said Mulugheta told him to shove the paperwork up their heinie. "When we wanted to send the details to the agent, The agents told us to stick it up our a--," Jones said. "Just so we're clear. (Parsons) and I talked, and then we were going to send it over to the agent, and we had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything. "We were going to send it over to the agent, and the agent said, 'Don't bother, because we've got all that to negotiate.' Well, I'd already negotiated. I'd already moved off my mark on several areas." Following an incoherent analogy to a child going between a mom and dad to negotiate, Jones accused Mulugheta of trying to "stick his nose" in negotiations to try to get the Cowboys to cave for a better deal for his client. Jones has no plans to back down from the agreement he had already worked out with Parsons. "In my mind, for the Dallas Cowboys, we've got it done," Jones said. "And if the agent wants to finish up the details, which he should, and do all the paperwork, he can do that, and we're ready to go. But as far as the amount of money, the years, the guarantees, all of that we negotiated." Dallas is set to conclude its preseason against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night with no end in sight to the biggest distraction on the team this summer. Jones should have avoided the situation with Parsons by dealing with Mulugheta directly, but that might have caused the theatre to be much less dramatic before the regular season.
Winnipeg Jets Strike Out: Top Remaining NHL Free Agent Joins Central Division Rival
The Jets and any other rival of the Avalanche lost out on Victor Olofsson, as the top remaining NHL free agent has just signed a one-year deal with Colorado. One of the best remaining unrestricted free agents is no longer available. The Colorado Avalanche signed forward Victor Olofsson to a one-year, $1.575 million contract through 2025-26, the team announced Wednesday. PuckPedia reported the agreement Tuesday night. Victor Olofsson entered free agency after a bounce-back season with the Vegas Golden Knights. After six seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, the team that drafted him in the seventh round in 2014, the Swedish winger signed a one-year, $1.075 million contract with Vegas this past summer. That followed a difficult 2023-24 campaign in Buffalo, where he posted just 15 points in 51 games. In Vegas, the 30-year-old regained some of his scoring touch. Although he was limited to 56 games due to injuries, he netted 15 goals and 14 assists for 29 points. Not quite the 40-point pace he was in his prime with the Sabres, but Olofsson proved he could be a reliable depth scorer for a playoff team. He registered four points in nine playoff games before the Golden Knights were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round. Olofsson has 105 goals and 106 assists for 211 points in 370 NHL career games. Last spring was his first taste of playoff action. Olofsson could be the key for the Avalanche to win the Central Division Now, Olofsson becomes a part of a Colorado team that is seeking a return to Central Division supremacy after being defeated by the Dallas Stars in last season's semifinals. This could pose a problem for the Winnipeg Jets, as their direct rivals have just gotten better up front. With stars such as Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and the now-returning Gabriel Landeskog around him, he'll get the chance to find a significant role on a contender. For Olofsson, the Avalanche provides a clean slate and an opportunity to demonstrate that there is still much more to give. If all goes well, Colorado will be giving their Western Conference foes a real hard time in the upcoming season.
'Look out for this dude': Former NFL exec has warning about unexpected SEC quarterback
Micah Parsons contract dispute: Dallas Cowboys star posts cryptic video with direct hint on future
As his contract dispute continues, Micah Parsons made another cryptic post on social media. The Dallas Cowboys star used an Allen Iverson quote in the background of a TikTok video. Parsons’ video included photos of him appearing to kiss and wave goodbye as the sound played behind them. It featured Iverson saying: “I’ma win wherever I go. Wherever I go, I’ma win. I don’t care where I go. I don’t give a damn what team I go to. I’ma win.” It’s the latest twist in Parsons’ contract situation as he seeks a new deal with the Cowboys. He also removed any mention of the franchise from his X and Instagram bios Thursday night, nearly three weeks after he went public with his trade request. Talks between Parsons and the Cowboys went on throughout the offseason, but the situation reached a new level of tension in training camp. The former Penn State star has not practiced, and he also has been dealing with a back injury. Earlier in the summer, Jerry Jones said he talked with Parsons about a new deal, but his agent David Mulugheta wasn’t present. Thursday, Jones said when he approached Mulugheta about details of that framework, he got a poignant response. “When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our ass,” Jones said. “Just so we’re clear … [Micah] and I talked and then we were going to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, all that.” The sense is Parsons is on track to become the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback with his next contract, which would come as his rookie deal expires. However, the pass-rush market shifted multiple times this offseason. Both Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt received new deals worth $40 million annually. Jones later said he agreed to give Parsons a lucrative deal. He added fans would understand just how bad he wants to keep him in Dallas based on that offer. “The world would know that I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him,” Jones said. “And he knows what I offered him. So, the world would know that I would want Micah on the team and respect what he would bring to the team.” Micah Parsons has been around the Cowboys team during training camp, though he’s not participating in workouts as negotiations go along. As for when a resolution could come, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the two sides aren’t in good standing. He went so far as to predict Parsons and the cowboys could be heading “towards divorce.”
