Booker T is suing Activision Publishing, Activision Blizzard, and Major League Gaming Corp due to him feeling the character David “Prophet” Wilkes in Call Of Duty: Black Ops is based off his G.I. Bro character that he used on the independents, WCW, and a comic book. Activision had attempted to get the case, filed in 2019 dismissed, but Judge Robert Schroeder has said:
The case will proceed, and ruling in Booker T’s favor could affect the Call Of Duty: Black Ops series. We will keep you updated you on Web Is Jericho.
Unrelated to this lawsuit, Activision is being sued by AM General, the manufacturer of the Humvee, for trademark infringement, due to including the vehicle in Call of Duty video games.
This isn’t the first lawsuit involving a wrestler and video game. In July 2003, Maxx Payne (Man Mountain Rock in WWF) sued Rockstar Games, 3D Realms, Gathering of Developers, and Remedy Entertainment for stealing his name for the video game “Max Pain.” He wanted $10 million but ended up settling out of court.
