10 WWE Wrestlers Who Need To Be Taught A Lesson (And Who By)
1. Cedric Alexander (By Shawn Michaels)
Lesson: How to make arrogance work.
We're back where this list started. 'The Heart Break Kid' will go down in history as a masterstroke in taking a performer's real life personality and dialling it up to 11. Michaels will confess that he wasn't the easiest guy to work with at the time but when that outspoken belief in your own talent manifests itself into a breakout star for the ages, it's a road he had to walk down.
Shawn Michaels had a natural aptitude for wrestling and his high octane, flamboyant style was light-years ahead of anything else we'd seen in the then WWF. That's where Cedric Alexander springs to mind.
Alexander has been on a steady incline for a few years now and has been gathering more and more positive reactions, with his innovative style complimenting each milestone that ticks by. They include his break-through performance in the Cruiserweight Classic, 181 day Cruiserweight Championship reign, and recent main roster push, seeing him trade wins with Drew McIntyre and knocking off Sami Zayn in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament.
The ability is there. What's missing is the attitude. With a few more chips on his shoulders (more than earned for years of little exposure on 205 live) and a sprinkle of eccentricity, Cedric Alexander could be a big time player, soon enough.
