WWE 2K19: 10 Most Overrated Wrestlers

8. Cedric Alexander

Rating: 83

Why It's Too High: Speaking of way too generous, 2K decided to give reigning 205 Live king Cedric Alexander a rating that actually tops Big Show, Zayn, Elias and others. Seriously, that is not a joke.

No offence intended to Alexander (he's a fine performer) here. He has skills, though they shouldn't be anywhere near the mid-80s. Last year in 2K18, Cedric had a rating of 76, and that seems much more realistic. There's no way he should be running Jeff Hardy (84), Chris Jericho (85) and Kurt Angle's '01 character (86) close in this year's game.

Think about that for a second, then realise how ludicrous it is considering their presentation on TV. It appears being the current Cruiserweight Champion does a lot for one's standing in the eyes of 2K's developers. They clearly covet the belt more than WWE themselves do.
