Dream Casting The Rock's Ric Flair Movie

Vince McMahon not only plays a significant part in the Ric Flair story - at several stages, in fact - but he's also likely to have SOMRE creative input to the direction of the movie.

You can pretty safely assume that he'll be suggesting to the film-makers that some of the background to Flair's rise can be left out. Like the entire Japanese era and the unfortunate Impact time.

Again, it looks like Bradley Cooper genuinely WANTS to play the big man, so why not let him for the earlier years? Sure, it might amount to little more than a cameo (and an expensive one at that), but Cooper is still heavily linked with playing McMahon in Pandemonium (even if it's gone a little quiet) and why couldn't we have him playing a sort of expanded universe version? A Nick Cage to the WWE biopics, as it were?

And for the older version of McMahon, we have to go back to Eric Roberts. He might not make great movies these days, but he certainly has it in him to play the charismatic big boss and there's something of a look of McMahon about him too.
