Which Video Game Characters Are TOXIC? WWE's Kit Wilson Explains
WWE superstar Kit Wilson teamed with IGN and Take Two to deliver a tongue‑in‑cheek segment ranking iconic video‑game characters on a made‑up toxicity scale. The comedic premise lets Wilson assign scores ranging from zero to ten, using his wrestling‑persona flair to comment on each character’s perceived moral standing. The rankings reveal a clear bias toward nostalgia: beloved platform heroes Sonic, Mario and Link each earn a perfect zero, while darker, more violent protagonists such as Nathan Drake, Leon Kennedy, Cloud and even the silent assassin Solid Snake receive near‑maximum scores. The absurdity peaks with Minecraft’s Steve being labeled a ten, and Animal Crossing characters humorously given a negative rating, underscoring the segment’s playful subjectivity. Wilson punctuates the list with repeated catch‑phrases—“You’re toxic,” “Anger is a healthy emotion,” and a nod to his own wrestling past when rating CM Punk a seven. These quips blend wrestling theatrics with gaming nostalgia, turning a simple rating exercise into a performance piece. Beyond comedy, the segment highlights how celebrity commentary can shape fan discourse around game narratives. By publicly labeling characters as “toxic,” Wilson invites viewers to reconsider the moral lenses through which they view beloved franchises, potentially influencing brand perception and community conversations.
