One of the doc's more unique perspectives came from Snoop Dogg, who unexpectedly revealed that Flair has been an inspirational figure for the black community for decades.

Snoop said, "As a kid growing up watching Ric Flair, he was very inspirational to myself and a lot of other hip-hop atists, because he represented what we wanted to be. We wanted to be Ric Flair, we wanted to be flamboyant, the kiss-stealing, wheeling-and-dealing.. .we wanted to be all of that. He was a part of our culture and our life, that's why we love him and we cherish him, and we've always held him high in the black community because Ric is one of us."
