STARRCAST V to be headlined by 'The Roast of Ric Flair'

Universally recognized as one of the greatest professional wrestlers to have ever set foot in the squared circle, Ric Flair is set to be the headlining act at STARRCAST V.

Flair, a 16-time WWE Champion, is a larger-than-life personality who was ahead of his time. He continues to have a major influence in today's pop-culture.

On July 29, two days before he takes his final bow, The Nature Boy will take center stage at STARRCAST V for 'The Roast of Ric Flair', it has been announced:

“The last weekend in July is going to be Ric’s swan song in a professional wrestling ring, so what better way to send him off before his final match than giving him a proper roast?” asked STARRCAST creator and organizer Conrad Thompson.

Thompson would go on to reflect on the WWE Hall of Famer's legendary career:

“Ric's career has transcended professional wrestling and made him a pop culture icon. You've seen his influence everywhere from sports to hip hop. He's done it all, except get roasted by some of his dearest friends and the most talented comedians in the world. That all changes on July 29th.”
