In a few weeks, WWE will release their latest game, WWE 2K19. With a more up-to-date roster, new championships and a brand new story mode featuring Daniel Bryan, the game hope to be a massive success for every kind of wrestling fan.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

2K19 will be the 20th game from WWE, with titles like Shut Your Mouth, No Mercy and Crush Hour all being part of the rich lineage.

But sometimes, you find yourself a character that truly boggles the mind. Someone that just doesn't fit into the game at all. Here are seven characters you won't believe were actually part of a WWE game.

Note: We're not including create a wrestler or custom wrestlers for this list.


#7 The Terminator (WWE 2k16)

If you pre-ordered WWE 2K16, you were in for a treat, receiving not one but two iterations of the T-800, the android made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the sci-fi classic, Terminator.

Arnie is a known wrestling fan, as well as a Hall of Famer, so it's a nice gift to him to be featured in one of the company's games.

However, the choice doesn't make a lot of sense, when you consider how near-unkillable the machine is in the films, yet can seemingly now be vanquished by a Trouble in Paradise or a People's Elbow.

#6 Tony (WWE SmackDown Vs RAW 2011)

T
Tony supported Cena in his battles against BetterThanYou-Topia.

The WWE has a long-established sense of patriotism, with their annual Tribute to the Troops shows displaying their support for the US Army.

But in SvR 2011, one story saw John Cena befriend a serviceman, who later teamed with Cena, in his battles against MVP, who had seceded the USA to form his own nation, 'BetterThanYou-topia'.

The story didn't make too much sense, and Tony has seemingly been forgotten about in all future games.

#5 Linda McMahon (WWF No Mercy)

The Matriarch of the McMahon family, Linda McMahon is a figure who has, for the most part, stayed away from the company.

Appearing rarely, she has never had an official match, unlike her husband Vince, and then children, Shane and Stephanie.

Despite this, she was added to the No Mercy roster, decked out in pantsuit and heels, free to attack whoever she saw fit.

Nowadays, Linda works as the Small Business Administration under the Trump Administration.

#4 Crash Test Dummy

Not to be confused with beloved Hardcore wrestler Crash Holly, the Crash Test Dummy was a literal punching bag for superstars to pound on.

If you did want to play as the dummy, then you'd have to find the cheat code, which in a time where the Internet was still a novel concept, was no easy feat.

In a stacked roster, playing (and particularly, losing) with the dummy, just felt, dumb.

#3 Kwang (WWF RAW)

Appearing in 1995, the character was not well received

Played by Savio Vega, Kwang is the only person on this list to both a, be a wrestler, and b, be a real person.

Appearing in 1995, the character was not well received, with Vega's natural talent unable to shine as the mysterious superstar.

To help, Kwang was thrown into the WWF RAW game. The game was only able to feature just sixteen superstars, so it's doubtful that many players had Kwang as their first pick.

#2 Howard Finkel (WWF No Mercy)

Anothe
Another win, for the Fink.

The most legendary announcer in wrestling, Howard Finkel has been a long-term member of the company and is in fact, the first person Vince K McMahon hired, after buying the company from his father Vince Sr.

Unfortunately, Finkel was often the butt of the joke on WWE TV, with commentators and superstar making snide remarks about his weight.

In No Mercy, the Fink can hit back at those who've picked on him, but the sight of a rotund man heading down to the ring doesn't help.

#1 Fred Durst (WWF RAW)

The lead for Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst is no stranger to WWE, with his music being used for many pay per views, including a WrestleMania.

He also performed the Rollin and American Bada*s themes for the Undertaker, Durst made an agreement with the company to use his music, in exchange for appearing in a video game.

Entering to Rollin', Durst would sing and dance before competing, his red backwards baseball cap never leaving his head.
