ESPN releases the first trailer for Ric Flair’s 30 for 30 Documentary

Ric Flair (WWE.com)

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

That one line separated Ric Flair from the rest of the world. “The Nature Boy” was the true gold standard of professional wrestling, even when Hulkamania was running wild. Throughout his career, Flair created several memorable moments. Some of them he may have kept to himself. Now the whole world will know the unedited story of the limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun!

ESPN has posted the first (teaser) trailer for their upcoming 30 For 30 on Ric Flair. The Rory Karpf-directed film will give an inside look into the life of Flair and is set to premiere in 2017.

Getting a taste of Ric Flair’s life through his own words is something fans have been waiting for since he retired. We have already seen his legacy live on through his daughter Charlotte. This film should help enhance the partnership between WWE and ESPN. Believe it or not, this will not be the first WWE-related documentary for ESPN. The first trailer for the XFL documentary was recently uploaded, and it looks pretty solid/nostalgic. If the actual films are as good as the trailers make it out to be, we could be in for some good times.

If you are as excited as I am to watch this documentary, give me two claps and a Ric Flair WOOOOO!
