Flair will play the president of the World Wrestling Union; Flair and fiancée Wendy Barlow will also executive produce the movie.

Flair had the following to say about the project

“I really like this wonderfully written script and find it to be very entertaining. The edgy sense of humor is great, but the story also has a good heart. I’m expecting the inspirational story line will appeal to fans that extend beyond my loyal core wrestling base, and I am seriously looking forward to getting this film in front of worldwide audiences. Wooooooooooooooooo!”
