The Undertaker & Ric Flair To Star In Church Sermon Series
Wrestling legends get holy in Texas.
The Undertaker and Ric Flair are among a group of WWE legends set to star in what ChristianPost.com describe as a series of "professional wrestling themed sermons."
Per the write-up, the wrestlers will be interviewed by Ed Young, who is the senior pastor of Fellowship Church - a Grapevine, Texas-based multisite congregation.
The series will run for four weeks, and debuts on Sunday, 9 September, with Sting and Ted DiBiase also involved. Three of the interviews will be broadcast live, with the last one pre-recorded. It's currently unclear which specific wrestlers will take these slots.
Fellowship Church will construct a special wrestling ring on their main stage for the event, though one side will be left open so that the congregation can see what's going on. Young states that the sermons will involve using "word pictures" to enforce wrestling with God as a metaphor, calling it "a match that everyone needs to lose," utilising "a big overarching picture everyone can connect with."
"We're friends with one of the wrestlers who knows all these guys, and he was able to put us in contact," Young said of securing such big names, though he declined to comment on this source.
