Cedric Alexander was one of the standouts of last summer's Cruiserweight Classic, an absolute dynamo whose aerial artistry is a wonder to behold. He's not only an amazing athlete but one with an incredibly bright future. Cedric Alexander is going to rule the wrestling world someday.

Given all of that, it's somewhat surprising that his trainer was NWA superjobber George South. Yes, George South, who was on the losing side of literally the only match ever won by the Mulkey Brothers. George South, who was so good at getting beat that he was considered Ric Flair's unofficial personal jobber. Those who cannot do, teach, apparently.
