The Wrap has an interview with Duncan Leslie, WWE's SVP of Event Technical Operations, about the creation of ThunderDome, taking the name from the Mad Max films and more.

To follow what Mike posted, Wrestling DVD Network is reporting that the Undertaker documentary series "The Last Ride" will be released on DVD worldwide. It looks like the Blu-ray release may be only exclusive to be UK and Europe. There will also be a special Collector's Edition Blu-ray available for the UK and Europe. The collectors edition will feature the following: "The “30th Anniversary Collectors Edition” will feature: The Last Ride on Blu-ray, exclusive artwork (each copy individually numbered), a mini Undertaker comic, and a photo hand-signed by ‘Taker himself!"

WWE posted the following:

The unmistakable strut. The dramatic flop. The flagrant low blow. Ric Flair was both the most decorated performer of all time and the dirtiest player in the game.

In an unmatched career that spanned over 30 years with stops in the AWA, NWA, WCW & WWE, Flair amassed an incredible 16 World Heavyweight Championship title reigns. But when the WWE Universe thinks of Ric Flair, they think of "The Nature Boy," a larger-than-life stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' and dealin' son of a gun. Whether in designer suits, outlandish robes, or shoes that cost more than your house, Ric Flair always left an indelible impression wherever he went.

Through memorable feuds with Ricky Steamboat, Dusty Rhodes and Sting, and as a member of The Four Horsemen & Evolution, Flair cemented his legacy as truly one of the greatest WWE Legends of all time.

WWE Shop is celebrating the legacy of Ric Flair with the newest entry in our Signature Series of replica titles, each designed as an homage to one of the greatest Superstars in WWE history. This title features a central plate modeled after the WWE World Heavyweight Championship that "The Nature Boy" made famous, adorned with 22 Swarovski crystals & Ric Flair name plate. The strap has undergone a special printing technique to match his iconic ring gear, featuring the phrases “To be the man, you gotta beat the man,” “The Nature Boy” & “16X World Heavyweight Champion!” The custom side plates even list the dates and locations of all 16 of those championship victories. This title is truly a must have for all Ric Flair fans!
