Rating: 84

Why It's Too High: Matt Hardy will always be regarded as one of the most exciting tag-team experts in WWE history, and he should be applauded for reinventing himself as the wacky 'Broken/Woken' gimmick fans last saw before he announced retirement.

That doesn't mean he merits the high 84 rating 2K have handed him for 2K19.

Matt in 2018 has not been a better worker than Daniel Bryan was in 2012, and that particular Bryan variant has an 83 overall. Then, there's the curious case of Mr. Perfect; Curt Hennig's character can only brag about an 83 himself, meaning 'Woken' Hardy is deemed more powerful than one of WWE's most heralded super workers.

If 2K were being honest with themselves and not looking through a Vanguard 1-tinted lens, they'd see that Matt belonged between the 78-80 region this year.
