He is a pop icon, ‘The Nature Boy”, the 16-time World Champion, a 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, and one of the most prolific superstars in Pro Wrestling history. And now, Peacock is set to drop the Ric Flair documentary, Woooooo! Becoming Rick Flair on December 26th.
Flair, who is now 73-years old, opens up about his storied career, behind the scenes and backstage moments, classic matches, and more for the last 50 years.
Many wrestling superstars past and present, along with pop culture celebrities appear in the special including: Hulk Hogan, Mike Tyson, Post Malone, Stephen A. Smith, and Ric’s daughter, WWE superstar, Charlotte Flair .
In a statement Ric Flair expressed: “Many stories have been told about The Nature Boy over the past 50 years. I’m thrilled to have partnered with WWE and Peacock to produce the most accurate depiction of my life to date and hope audiences enjoy the ride. Woooo!”
Rod Aissa, EVP Unscripted Content, NBCUniversal added: “Very few people have professional careers as storied as Ric Flair. We can’t wait to give Peacock audiences this revealing, in-depth and often raw look into the life of one of sports and wrestling’s most controversial icons.”
The project is a co-creation of WWE and sports reporter Tom Rinaldi, who narrates the documentary.
Previously, ESPN had produced a documentary on Flair for one of its 30 For 30 specials back in 2017. However, in recent episodes of his podcast, To Be The Man, Flair shared that Peacock’s new look special on his life, would out perform the previous one on ESPN.
Ric revealed: “This will be better than my 30 for 30 on ESPN because I made them promise me that whatever I said they wouldn’t edit. I’m not going to do something that’s going to be edited again. It’s been passionate and I expressed everything that I thought was good or bad in my life. I discussed my personal life, my personal problem, family problems, wrestling problems. Issues with people that I’ve had. I just answered questions and I answered them as truthfully as I could. I had 12 hours with Tom Rinaldi. He asked my every good question in the world.”
You can check out the trailer for the documentary which debuted on Ric Flair’s Twitter account today below.
