Well that's a logical next step

Last year we lost one of the greats. Ric Flair, the stylin', profilin', kiss stealin' wheelin', dealin', son of a gun, hung up the sequined cape that won him sixteen world titles after being a professional wrestler for over thirty years. Since his retirement the Nature Boy has kept busy by doing the appearance circuit and getting beaten up by his daughter's boyfriend.


You'd figure that'd be enough for The Man, especially with rumors that he's making $10,000 a clip at this meet and greets. However, if you think we're the type to just leave it then then clearly you aren't thinking....good. Shut up. Anyway, word just came across the Internets that Mr. Flair just landed him an acting gig. He's playing Commander Hill in, get this, Electronic Arts new expansion pack for their Command and Conquer franchise.



Yes, we are a little confused. We know that C&C is a real-time strategy game, but not being PC gamers nor people who pay attention to details, we've never played them. We hear they're very good. But now? Even better since the dirtiest player in the game joined the cast. Take a look at how excited The Man is:

"When I found out that EA wanted me to be part of Command and Conquer all I could say was 'Wooooooooo!'"

C&C is notable for being a franchise that uses full motion video cut scenes, in comparison to most other games that use CGI rendered cut scenes. You know, because when you juxtapose super detailed graphics with images from a Sega CD game there's not any sort of jarring effect. Not one bit.




Still, this should have no bearing on Slick Ric. We can only hope he's a playable character and you get some special bonus for adding him to your squadron. Or at least a really cool cheat code.

EDIT: We know the Youtube player is too big. No idea how to fix it or remove it. Welcome to LOL, Wresslin'!
