10 WWE Superstars That Are Permanently Lost
9. Cedric Alexander
A gifted wrestler with such dynamic presence that he was hired off the back of an electrifying Cruiserweight Classic run (in this almost earnestly sweet scene, Triple H is so drunk off his t*ts on finally making friends with the fans that had hated him the most that he presents himself as the wish fulfilment booker), Cedric Alexander is one of the last survivors of the company's most recent doomed flirtation with the genre.
A greedily assembled roundtable of globally regarded cruisers, lightweights and technical wizards have been whittled away to the point where he's one of the last ones at the feast and the only meals served are platefuls of sh*t.
Far from being rewarded for his excellence, he's routinely beaten down for what he isn't. Which, at latest check, is "being as big as Bobby Lashley". A loser after the breakup of The Hurt Business and an even bigger one trying to get the band back together, his toughening up as result of the experience turned him babyface for the purpose of taking one last beating from MVP's newest charge Omos.
On and on that goes - too talented to let go but not enough of a concern to reverse his course, Cedric Alexander will never drown in WWE but will clearly never be allowed to pop his head above the surface again.
