Ric Flair’s legacy to be documented by ESPN’s 30 for 30
Coming on the heels of the acclaimed Prince of Pennsylvania 30 For 30 that aired two weeks ago, ESPN is going in a completely different wrestling direction with a new pro wrestling piece. Legacy Talent and wrestling legend Ric Flair announced today that the 16-time world champion started shooting a 30 For 30 piece on his career.
It’s unclear whether it’s a full length doc, a 30-minute short, or even a 10-minute version.
“We named this company Legacy Talent because it’s our mission to help preserve the legacies that our clients have worked a lifetime to build,” stated Flair’s management company in a press release. “Yesterday we took a huge step in documenting Ric Flair’s legacy by starting to shoot his 30 for 30 ESPN Film. We are honored to work with such a prestigious group on a project we are so passionate about!”
ESPN ran a 15-minute 30-For-30 short on the Von Erichs earlier this year.
