The new documentary on Ric Flair looks absolutely stunning

Paul Moore

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Fancy watching a riveting documentary about a stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun that conquered wrestling and became one of the most enigmatic performers in sports entertainment?

Of course you do. It’s the Nature Boy!

In the documentary, we get to meet a young Richard Fliehr as he sets his sights on rising to stardom in a unique world, and decided to do anything necessary to get to where he wanted.

The success took a considerable toll – on his body, and on his wives and children – and in 2013 came a tragic postscript.

‘Nature Boy’ features two in-depth conversations with Flair over a 16-month span, surrounded by interviews with those closest to the man himself; including some icons of the squared circle like Triple H, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, Baby Doll, Tully Blanchard, The Undertaker, Arn Anderson, Shawn Michaels, Sting and Road Warrior Animal and more.

‘Nature Boy’ premieres on Tuesday, Nov. 7, on ESPN and here’s a taste of what’s in store.
