WWE 2K14: 10 Awful Wrestlers The Game Doesn't Need

By Guest Writer / November 3, 2015

9. The Miz

Former cast member of The Real World: New York and second place contestant in the fourth Tough Enough competition, The Miz has enjoyed one run as a WWE Champion. The Miz, standing at only 6'1, 220 Lbs., is one of the smallest of the 40 or so men to hold the title. The Miz was never overly popular with fans and purists alike and it is apparent since his fall from grace that he seems doomed to stay in the mid-card. He was never 'over' as a heel, and being forced to cheer for Miz now as a babyface seems forced, in the writers opinion, compromising his integrity. In addition, Ric Flair passed the metaphorical torch of his Figure Four Leg Lock down to The Miz, with some individuals on social media arguing that he was hardly worthy of being bestowed upon a decades old submission move made famous by the WWE Hall of Famer. Despite winning Money in the Bank and cashing it in to become the first Tough Enough contestant to win the WWE Championship, The Miz is yet another former WWE Champion who will likely see his glass ceiling permanently lowered to the the Intercontinental Championship. Other than the Figure Four Leg Lock, his main finisher is a facebuster. The majority of his moves cannot be done on bigger opponents thus making The Miz susceptible to incur more damage against those in his class of former WWE Champions, which is just another reason why The Miz is the second awful superstar in WWE 2K14.

8. Triple H

Lets face it, since winning the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Wrestler of the Year award in 2000 there really has been no stone un-turned for Triple H. But for the purposes of this article we are discussing the most awful wrestlers this game doesn't need. 2K Sports has given Triple H's "The Game" years a nod, a time in which the end saw him become known as the "King of Kings". The Game was tougher than a $2.00 steak, earning this respect by showing resiliency in his brutal match with Cactus Jack in a Title vs. Career match at No Way Out in February 2000. But Triple H as we have come to known him is considerably softer in his rising age than his young counterpart. Though you can still count on Triple H to bring as much intensity as will physically allow him to every contest, modern day Triple H would be bested by his former self 99 times out of 100. Though it can be argued that older Triple H would be wiser with his tactics, retro Triple H was known for ending the careers of such legends.
