Imagine lawyers in a courtroom talking about "G.I. Bro" in a serious tone.

Activision could defend by simply attesting how they came up with the idea independently and by pure coincidence. Booker T flatters himself. He might see a resemblance to himself, but he is not a unique looking guy.
Similarly, I remember my ex-father-in-law telling me seriously how he invented the garlic bread knots that are seen on the menu in every pizzeria.

For the sake of clarification, Booker T apparently created a comic book character named G.I. Bro. He claims that Activision ripped off his comic book character.
Do I think that his complaint is valid? Of course not, because who the hell even knew that this comic book existed?

He doesn't have a case and Activision won't settle out of court because they know he doesn't have a case. They have more money and more and better lawyers than he does. He didn't really think this through very well at all.

Booker T is clearly racist. Just because he has dreadlocks, is black and a fictional character doesnt make him similar to your gi bro who no one ever heard about.

They just fired some of their workforce. Book ain't getting shit rofl. I mean, they could in theory since the fundamental problem was that they let 800 people go because, even though they made the most money they’ve ever made...they didn’t make MORE money!

And let's be honest, they could have made ALL OF THE MONEY and they still would've fired all of those people because end of the day Activision is a just plain scummy company.

But you have to understand, the higher ups and biggest shareholders need their cut too! What about THEIR needs?!

Booker T should sue whoever it was that OK'd that graphic as his likeness. You all should know which one I mean.

Aren't you people forgetting that Booker didn't have dreads when he did the G.I. Bro gimmick? His hair was short during that time.

Guessing he may be angling for a settlement. Which, good for him if he gets it, because Activision are scumbags. Scumbags or not, he has no case here

Thanks, I almost feared there wasn't a dumber lawsuit wrestlers were involved in than the CTE one.
