Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is finally going to seal his eternal admiration for pro wrestling legend Ric Flair. The Nature Boy has been a source of inspiration for The Rock ever since he first knew about pro wrestling. Now, Dwayne Johnson has announced that he will put his Seven Bucks Production house to work to make Flair’s biopic.

A new social media post from Dwayne Johnson recently announced the new movie project. The Rock has been making one headline after another after his following his return and subsequent heel turn. But now, Dwayne Johnson has once again stupefied fans with a new move and forced them to cheer for him once again.

Ric Flair is the key ingredient of what Dwayne The Rock Johnson is cooking next

Dwayne Johnson recently added a tweet on X wherein he posted a video compilation of several great Ric Flair moments. The footage opened with a shot of a comparison between kid Rock and adult Rock sharing the frame with the 2x WWE Hall of Famer.

Dwayne Johnson wrote, “WOO! As a wild kid, who grew up in the wild world of professional wrestling, I idolized, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. He was one of my heroes. And once I broke into the wrestling business and began to spill my own sweat and blood in arenas across America – my reverence for Ric turned to great respect.” The Rock further noted how challenging it was to make even the smallest of impacts in pro wrestling.

Dwayne Johnson noted, “I realized just how rare and almost impossible it is to truly disrupt the wrestling business, and truly change the game – and that’s exactly what Ric Flair did. Ric Flair had a relentless passion to be the greatest of all time, but with achieving that GOAT status – he also sacrificed it all and paid a heavy price. And lived to tell the story.” Johnson reported that his admiration for Nature Boy predates his WWE era.

According to Dwayne Johnson, “This project is personal for me and we at @sevenbucksprod & #KevinMischer films can’t wait to tell his unbelievable story. As always, “thank you for the house, Ric” ~ people’s champ.” Interestingly, Ric Flair truly has a life to be celebrated. In fact, he has also wrestled in front of one of the largest pro wrestling crowds of all time in front of 160 thousand plus in North Korea.

When Nature Boy performed in front of one of the rarest crowds

Back in April 1995, Nature Boy Ric Flair had WOOOOOED a massive North Korean crowd. A massive gathering of reportedly 150,000 and 190,000 people had emerged to see him perform. He wrestled Antonio Inoki in the main event of NJPW and WCW produced show ‘Collision in Korea’. Mohammad Ali was a chief guest for the largest wrestling show to date.

But joining hands with Vince McMahon skyrocketed his fame and also brought him to wrestle some of the biggest stars in WWF. While Dwayne Johnson has announced that he will be producing the movie, it’s not clear if he will also feature in it. What are your thoughts on this? Let them flow in the comments.
