WWE announced this past June that they’d agreed with Ric Flair to produce a new documentary about his life and career. Flair and WWE parted ways in August 2021 after he requested his release.
While speaking on his To Be The Man podcast, Flair stated that he believes the documentary will be released by the end of 2022 – either on the week of Thanksgiving or the week before Christmas.
He believes it will be called “Finding Flair” and “better” than the 2017 ESPN-produced 30 for 30 documentary by Rory Karpf.
“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,” he explained. “I was passionate and I expressed everything that I thought was good or bad in my life. I discussed my personal life, my personal problems, family problems, wrestling problems, issues with people that I have had. I just answered questions and I answered them as truthfully as I could.”
Flair stated that he would “love to return to the company [WWE] and do stuff with them” but wasn’t sure what that would be.
Flair has gone on record by stating that he could never work with WWE co-CEO Nick Khan again but could work with Vince McMahon. However, that was before McMahon resigned from his duties with the company amidst the hush money scandal.
Flair’s comments were around when he was upset about WWE removing his trademark “Whooo!” from the open of WWE programming following the infamous “Plane Ride from Hell” episode of Dark Side of the Ring.
Not only is Flair’s daughter, Charlotte, a top star for the company, but Flair and Triple H are good friends so it’s likely WWE will bring back the legendary wrestler one day.
