Rumor Roundup: Vince’s Original Idea For The WWE Network, The Status Of MITB, More

3) Update On The Status Of Austin Theory

According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here), a decision hasn’t been made yet on if Austin Theory will be a permanent call-up to the WWE main roster.

Here is what Sapp wrote:

Austin Theory was received well among the few that were in attendance at the Performance Center we’re told, but a decision hasn’t been made as to whether or not he’ll be on the Raw roster full time. That was the same line of thinking applied to Angel Garza at first.

My Take:

  • With The AOP getting hurt, it might actually be an interesting decision to keep Theory and Angel Garza with Seth Rollins. They could act as his new henchmen (along with Murphy). That could be a decent direction to go. If not, I would have no problem with Theory going back to NXT.

2) Movie Coming Out About Ric Flair’s Life?

Ric Flair was interviewed on Busted Open Radio and revealed that a movie is being discussed about his life.

Flair said that he has talked to The Rock, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia of Seven Bucks Entertainment. He has also spoken to WWE about it:

“I talked to Dwayne and Dany Garcia … and Hiram Garcia and they’re gonna collaborate, the last time I heard, for all this stuff and make a movie with the WWE (about) me with Sue Levison, who now is with WWE and is doing a fabulous job. Sue’s got a great background. As soon as everything gets rolling again after that, they’ll make that movie. I am looking forward to that because I’ll have a lot of input.”

My Take:

  • I would definitely be down for a movie about Flair’s life. The dude has plenty of great stories and has lived one heck of a life. I really enjoyed the movie about Paige, so hopefully, this works one out.
