Ric Flair. WWE Hall of Famer, global pop culture icon, and 16-time WWE World Champion. An impressive track record as such is undoubtedly worth honouring, and 2K Games’ upcoming installment to the WWE video game franchise is doing just that.

The “Nature Boy”, naturally (hah), is pumped for his addition to the existing character roster, enthusing:
For all of my fans around the world, it’s exciting and humbling to see my career immortalised through the power of video games. This is going to be one stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ ‘n’ dealin’ son of a collector’s edition, and you don’t want to miss out. Wooooo!
Tagged with a price tag of S$179 for the PS4 and Xbox One family of devices, it’s indeed a…uh, “stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding’ – yeah, you get it – son of a collector’s edition. WWE 2K19 is slated for release on October 9, 2018, but enthusiasts who purchase either the Woooo! Edition or Deluxe Edition – also available on PC – will receive early access on October 5, and get their hands on the game four days before everyone else.
