WWE 2K19: 10 Most Overrated Wrestlers

7. The Rock

WWE 2K19 The Rock
2K Games

Rating: 93

Why It's Too High: Sorry, Rocky, but all we smell is bullsh*t.

If this was The Rock from 2001, it'd be understandable. It's not though, it's part-time Dwayne Johnson, who last wrestled a six-second match against Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32. Since then, Rocky hasn't worked a lick for WWE. He's been far too busy slaying Hollywood, and knocking out quality performances on the silver screen.

The fact he has a 93 overall in 2K19 is shocking. To put that into perspective, it makes him the joint-best wrestler in the entire game. He's level with Brock Lesnar, one point better off than poster boy Roman Reigns and a full two better than his own '01 model. How on earth did they work that one out?

Modern-day Rock is also superior to an in-his-prime Steve Austin (92), The Undertaker from 2002 (90) and the great Randy Savage (89). This is either sucking up to a Hollywood darling or someone in the 2K offices has a Brahma Bull tattoo from college.
