Ric Flair Launches Wooooo! Wings Virtual Restaurant with Kitchen Data Systems

16-time World Champion and 2-time WWE Hall of Famer partners with technology and services company Kitchen Data Systems to roll out Wooooo! Wings, a virtual dining concept featuring

"Legendary Flavors. World Championship Wings."

Nashville, June 23, 2022 - Ric Flair announced today that Wooooo! Wings, a new virtual restaurant brand, will open for business July 28th with flagship locations in Nashville, Tennessee to be followed by wide national distribution.

Wooooo! Wings' legendary flavors and world championship wings will be prepared by Kitchen Data Systems' (KDS) KitchPartner restaurants. KitchPartners belong to a network managed by KDS' proprietary software, which matches member restaurants with brands to launch new virtual dining experiences, bringing extra revenue streams for both brands and their restaurant KitchPartners.

The Wooooo! Wings menu, developed by "Team Flair" in conjunction with KDS' in-house chef, celebrates one of the sport's most charismatic characters with flavors that match his personal brand. The virtual restaurant opens with competitive advantages, bringing a reach of over 25M+ weekly from a combination of Ric Flair's podcast, social media accounts and those of his To Be The Man podcast's network, Podcast Heat.

"I love chicken wings and I really love flavors that hit you like a chop to the chest," said Flair. "To be the man, you've got to beat the man, and these championship wings and legendary flavors from Wooooo! Wings are THE MAN!"

Wooooo! Wings jumps into the restaurant ring at an inflection point in the food industry, which saw a marked rise of delivery during Covid-19. At least once a week 80M U.S. households order delivery or takeout meals, while UBS' Evidence Lab projects the market to hit $365B by 2030.

"Living legends deserve epic flavors," commented Mike Jacobs, CEO and Founder of KDS. "We're thrilled to partner with Ric Flair and his partner, Podcast Heat, to offer this exceptional Delivery-1st dining experience. Created by Mr. Flair with our chef, the Wooooo! Wings menu embodies The Greatest Wrestler of All Time's passion for his sport and luxurious style in each chef-curated bite. KitchData is proud to have worked with Ric Flair on designing a menu worthy of his name, talent and, most important, his fans."

Wooooo! Wings' launch will coincide with Starrcast weekend in Nashville which will feature The Roast of Ric Flair and Ric Flair's Last Match. July 31 has recently been declared "Ric Flair Day" in the city of Nashville.

AEW will be "heavily involved" in Discovery's Shark Week this year. (WO)

Stokely Hathaway is loving his time in AEW: "Honestly, I can't even put it into words. I've had a blast and I feel really bad for Tony Khan sometimes because I feel like I'm taking money because it's been the most fun that I've had in a very long time. I mean, I need more money, I'm not having a good time at all. It's a struggle. {*laughs*} Seriously, I've had a blast. Being able to see people I haven't seen in years like Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor, all those guys. Just walking into the locker room and seeing your friends, people you grew up with, what can I say. I am, I was going to say lucky, but that's not the word. I'm extremely blessed to be in the position that I'm in."

This week's Impact Wrestling did the exact same rating as last week -- a 0.04 18-49 demo with 108,000. (SBD)

Hiroshi Tanahashi says he'll be the star of Forbidden Door: "I will be the star of Forbidden Door. I mean, I did think of the name after all. When I first used the term, it was three years ago, and AEW had really only just gotten started. I don't think anyone really knew how they would develop, but they had some great talent behind them, and I knew we would be onto something great if we crossed over. So coining that phrase, it was my way of putting things into the universe."

Impact has announced shows for Chicago on August 12th & 13th. They also released a statement about Gisele Shaw. (IW)

IMPACT Wrestling Supports Gisele Shaw

IMPACT Wrestling Knockout competitor Gisele Shaw has disclosed she is a transgender woman to the wider public. Shaw, who joined IMPACT's roster in January of this year, informed IMPACT of her decision several months ago and made the disclosure in a series of interviews today.

IMPACT Wrestling fully supports Gisele, including connecting her with prominent LGBTQ+ resources, including GLAAD and Athlete Ally, and will continue to support her.

IMPACT Wrestling Executive Vice-President Scott D'Amore said: "IMPACT Wrestling has been at the forefront of empowering female performers for over 15 years. Our company believes featuring storylines with women athletes and characters from all different walks of life can not only entertain, but also inspire.

"Inclusiveness and representation are important to IMPACT and parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment, but I'll also add Gisele is in IMPACT Wrestling because of her wrestling ability, her charisma and because she fits in with our roster. She is in IMPACT Wrestling because she's one of the best young talents anywhere in the business."

Reigning IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace expressed her whole-hearted support for Shaw's decision. She said: "As her friend, I'm excited for Gisele to be able to inspire people with her story. I know that is important to her. I'm biased, but I think the trans community has a great role-model in her."
