Ric Flair Backs Out Of Appearance For The Rumble, Batista Stars With Brooke Hogan, More

- Ric Flair recently spoke to USA Today about wrestling in North Korea back in 1995.

- Speaking of Flair, he has canceled his appearance as the Grand Marshal at the CRA Speedfest race in Cordele, Georgia on Sunday because he will be on WWE's Royal Rumble pre-show panel. Flair apologized in a statement:

"To the fans, crew and drivers, I profusely apologize that I won't be able to be at the race, but hope everyone still heads out to Watermelon Capital Speedway this weekend to support my buddy David Ragan at Zaxby's SpeedFest 2014."

- Batista has been announced for a new indie horror movie called LA Slasher. Brooke Hogan, Danny Trejo, Mischa Barton and Eric Roberts are also in the movie.

The plot reads like this: "Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them."

No word yet on when the movie will be released.
