I'm assuming this is a titantron or something? If that's the case, why not just edit any sections out that contain people they don't have under contract? It's far less noticable if you just turned the titantron into a 5 second loop than it would be to start blurring people out. And is Zack "really upset"? Of all the stuff to get emotional over. His full name is Zack Chioda

2K removes anything they don't have the rights to use.
- One WWE game a few years back had Al Snow's name blurred when the game showed the bracket for the 1998 "Deadly Game" WWF Championship tournament.
- Another game had Mick Foley recreate his "3 Faces of Foley" promo from the Sept. 22, 1997 Raw episode. For the game version of the promo, Foley modified his closing line, replacing "because it's Madison Square Garden" with "because it's New York City."

It's so lame that they won't pay the money for the likeness if that's what it really comes down to. Indefensible.

All of Jimmy Hart’s music was removed from the WM Anthology…they never bothered to ask him. When he said “what do you think I wrote them for?” They we’re back in the SummerSlam set.

Oddly, they didn't even remove all of his music from the WM set. He made the themes for the Rockers, the Rougeaus, Honky Tonk Man, and Earthquake, among others, and they were left intact.

Only thing I can guess is all assorted rights for those songs were somehow owned by WWE?

They should have replaced his head with a big pumpkin. Then everyone who played the game would want to create a Pumpkinhead ref of their own.

Wasn't there an episode of Total Divas where they blurred Sheamus's face? Granted he was in his ring gear and clearly had spiked orange hair so who else could it be but hey i guess they were still able to save the money.

It's so lame that they won't pay the money for the likeness if that's what it really comes down to. Indefensible. You have to remember too they don't have as big of a budget as EA with FIFA and Madden so they trim the fat wherever they can. Its why they do those damn lootboxes and other dumb money schemes.

Only thing I can guess is all assorted rights for those songs were somehow owned by WWE? Jimmy signed over the rights to the entrance themes he composed over to both WWE and WCW. When Dusty Rhodes returned to WCW for a brief run in 2001, Jimmy had to copy his own work and compose a knockoff version of Dusty's WWE theme rather than using the original because WWE had the publishing rights to their version of it. He does seem to own Hogan's WCW theme "American Made," though. It was used in the XWF and TNA.

All the refs have their faces blurred during that mode.

It's a business. It's why we haven't had WWE referee action figures in years, etc. I don't think it's some huge sign of disrespect against a referee. Maybe I've just been trained to think that way, but it just doesn't strike me as a huge issue.
