Flair was brought on to discuss his life and the renewed buzz in mainstream media from the ESPN 30 In 30 special that aired in 2017, that was re-airing on ESPN on Sunday, March 29.
As Ric Flair talked about his career, he mentioned that a biopic on his crazy life was in early stages and that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s Seven Bucks Productions and WWE Studios – the team that created Paige‘s biopic Fighting With My Family in 2019 – were working on a project about his life and career. “I talked to Dwayne and Dany Garcia…and Hiram Garcia and they’re gonna collaborate, the last time I heard, for all this stuff and make a movie with the WWE with me with Sue Levison and that, who now is with WWE and is doing a fabulous job,” Flair said. “Sue’s got a great background. As soon as everything gets rolling again after that, they’ll make that movie. I am looking forward to that because I’ll have a lot of input.”
Flair also mentioned that a TV project was also in the works. “I’ve got a TV show coming out, again when Hollywood gets going” he continued. “And this will actually come out first, about my life in the 80s, which will be, I don’t know, probably come out at one in the morning and be Rated XX-R – they told me the names will be changed to protect the innocent, haha.”
