Flair will play the president of the World Wrestling Union, a Las Vegas syndicate that owns the wrestling tour that is Steamroller attempting to stage his comeback. Flair and his fiancée Wendy Barlow are executive producers on the film.
Flair also has a role in the upcoming film Easter which will see release this December. That film stars Glenn Close, Carl Weathers, Joe Leland and Reginald VelJohnson. Flair will play himself in the film which has the following plot, "In an effort to save both his reputation and family, retired detective, Easter (Joe Leland), finds himself in a war pitted against the most formidable foe - hatred."
Flair has done some acting work in the past, but mostly cameos playing himself many years ago in projects like the syndicated TV series Learning The Ropes and Roddy Piper-Dirk Benedict film Bodyslam the Movie.

Based on other sources, Fish might be out for a whole year instead since his injury is rumored to have been a lot worse than originally expected.

He was originally rumored to have been cut yesterday but which would have brought the total to 4 people but got debunked afterwards.
