WWE 2K19 Ratings: 10 Most Underrated Wrestlers

We'd be p*ssed too, Seth...

WWE 2K19 Daniel Bryan John Cena
2K Games

It could be argued that Bryan Danielson circa 2003 deserves a higher rating than 76 in WWE 2K19. Yes, it could, although 2K's decision to reflect that Bryan (years away from catching on as the next top babyface and charming everyone in WWE with his passion for pro wrestling) was once considered lowly enhancement talent is fair.

Anyway, he's not the real concern here. There are loads of others on the game's roster that have been treated terribly by comparison. This schism between similar playable wrestlers is where 2K's logic falls down; whilst they're content to show Bryan's progression as a star by giving his 2013 character model a hefty 92 overall, they're not happy to make historically bigger legends than him anywhere near as good.

The whole system is wildly erratic.

OK, so it must be a chore to decipher who gets what rating every year, and there's always going to be some argument against whatever 2K choose. We get that, but we have to take the decision-makers to task for some of the alarmingly low ratings they've doled out in 2K19...
