Watch: Machado recreated as WWE 2K16 character

YouTube

Manny Machado's short temper has earned him an appearance in the squared circle.

ESPN's Dan Szymborski had some fun at Machado's expense Monday when he created a video game version of the Baltimore Orioles third baseman in WWE 2K16. Machado is currently appealing a four-game suspension for punching Yordano Ventura, who received a nine-game ban for plunking the Orioles superstar in the ribs with a 99-mph fastball.

Szymborski's project is a work in progress but judging by the screenshots and GIFs he shared on Twitter, it's already quite detailed. He's got Machado, Ventura, and Royals general manager Dayton Moore all set to rumble inside a custom Oriole Park wrestling ring.
