Writer for gaming website Giant Bomb, Jeff Gerstmann, was angry after the likeness of his character, "Dr. Tracksuit", which he fights as in the annual "PAX Wrestling" events, was used in the trailer for WWE 2K16.
Gerstmann went to Twitter to express his frustration over the appearance:
"Kind of not OK with someone using something similar to my likeness to promote a franchise that has been so terrible for so long."
2K Sports later re-sent out the trailer to game media outlets with the footage taken out.
