WWE 2K19: 10 Most Overrated Wrestlers

6. Sting '99

Why It's Too High: 1999 was far from Sting's best year, and it wasn't even the peak of his 'Crow' character's powers. Anyone who watched longer than a few hours of Nitro would know that. Lord only knows then why Sting's '99 model is ranked three points higher than his '98 one, or a point more than '91.

That year ('91), he had epics against Ric Flair, teamed with Lex Luger to have a barn-burner against The Steiner Brothers at the first SuperBrawl, and even found time to tussle with a young Steve Austin.

Meanwhile towards the end of the century, he had a tedious match with Rick Steiner, wrestled countless inconsequential matches on Nitro and tried on a failed heel turn on Hulk Hogan at Fall Brawl. There's zero reason why his 1999 character should be an improvement over either '98 or '01.

Hell, even his two matches for WWE in 2015 were better than WCW's nonsense that year.
