The real life stories of professional wrestlers are often more entertaining and interesting than the storylines their characters play out on television.
If there was a wrestler deserving his or her own "30 for 30" documentary, it's Ric Flair. According to Legacy Talent Agency, we can expect it in the near future.

ESPN's PR team confirmed the film, but offered no additional details, in an email to Sporting News.
"The Nature Boy," whose real name is Richard Fliehr, was the epitome of 1980s swagger, and he had the microphone skills and technical acumen to back it up. He was the leader of the "Four Horsemen," a 16-time world heavyweight champion, and the self-proclaimed "Dirtiest Player in the Game." Part of what makes Flair so revered is his life away from the ring.
He has been married four different times and has a laundry list of financial troubles stemming from Flair's belief that he actually was the character he portrayed. On top of that, his youngest son Reid died in 2013 from a heroin overdose.
Flair recently appeared on an October episode of WWE Raw promoting the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Flair's youngest daughter, Ashley, who performs under the name Charlotte, is currently the WWE Diva's champion following a successful tenure in the organization's developmental promotion, NXT.
