Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is set to produce a new biopic on wrestling legend Ric Flair. The news was reported by TheWrap, stating that Johnson, along with Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Kevin Misher, will be involved in the production of the film.
Ric Flair, also known as “The Nature Boy,” is a wrestling icon with a career that spans over 50 years. His flamboyant persona dominated the wrestling scene in the 1970s and 1980s, captivating audiences with his charisma and in-ring skills. However, Flair’s career was almost cut short in 1978 when he was involved in a plane crash. Despite this setback, he continued to wrestle and went on to achieve great success in the industry.
One of the most notable events in Flair’s career was a match he wrestled in North Korea in 1995, which drew the largest crowd in professional wrestling history. This event solidified his status as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
However, Flair’s life has not been without controversy. In 2002, he was involved in the infamous “Plane Ride from Hell” where he was accused of inappropriate behavior towards a female flight attendant. The incident led to a lawsuit against the WWE, which was settled out of court. Flair has also faced financial troubles, at one point putting up his NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt as collateral for a loan.
Despite the ups and downs in his life, Ric Flair remains a beloved figure in the world of professional wrestling. The upcoming biopic produced by Dwayne Johnson’s studio will delve into the extraordinary life and career of this wrestling legend. Fans can expect to see a compelling story that explores the highs and lows of Flair’s journey in the wrestling industry.
The biopic is sure to be a must-watch for wrestling fans and movie enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project as it develops.
