    Hey duders,

    WWE 2K just posted a new video highlighting some new creation options, and I noticed a created wrestler that looked a bit familiar at 1:24. Check it out.

    I just realized Alex posted this on his twitter. I was a little late on the draw. This can be closed if needed.

    I'm with Jeff on this being kinda not cool of them. Also it is our fault. We asked them to "Push Dr Tracksuit"

    Time for a new identity, Doctor Trax Sue

    i find it hilarious that despite jeff's frequent (and justified) verbal derision regarding WWE- he somehow ends up closer to the brand than ever before.

    Seems like a fan on the team that thought it would be a cute reference but didn't think about how uncool putting a gaming critic (who happens to really dislike your garbage product) in your trailer.

    You know at first I was all like "That is cool" then I saw Jeff's reaction and I was like "That seems a bit unsporting, its just a little homage to the site." Then I actually started considering potential implications in terms of him owning the character Dr. Tracksuit M.D., and yes, he absolutely should at the very least ask for it to be removed. The WWE strikes me as the kind of company that if he didn't would send him a cease and desist letter in a year for his promo for the next paxamania because it 'infringes' on their character of 'Wrestler M.D.' or some nonsense.

    Not in a million years. I'd be shocked if there was a single intellectual property law that would aid Jeff in this situation. Dr. Tracksuit isn't an important enough character that Jeff would ever bother to have filed anything that lets him have a legal claim to the character, and similarly he isn't important enough to the business of the Giant Bomb website that CBSi lawyers could in any way include Dr. Tracksuit the character under the umbrella of whatever rights they have to the Giant Bomb name and brand.
