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.
Will have to finish this tomorrow when I get the logos and the face map. pic.twitter.com/0iyqDV9BQ5

Once I get all the KC logos and the face maps and figure how to get Dayton's hair, this will be sweet. pic.twitter.com/s5jzyFR1rV

Don't want my Royals friends feeling left out, so here's the Dayton's Elbow. pic.twitter.com/GWMCbmpST7
