Talks are reportedly under way to turn Vince McMahon's life into a Hollywood film.
The WWE chairman has been a controversial figure in the world of sports entertainment for a long time and it now appears his life story will be coming to a screen near you.
As first reported by Hollywood Reporter, production company TriStar Pictures is in negotiations for the rights to 'Pandemonium', a script about Mr McMahon's past written by Craig A Williams.
WWE Studios are also involved with the project, which already has producers and a director attached.
Nothing about the script has been leaked, so we are not sure which part of Vince's life the story will focus on.
He got into the wrestling business aged 12 when he followed his father, who was a promoter.
He quickly became a mainstay in the industry, first promoting and then as a commentator. He went on the set up his own promotion in the late 70s.
That company bought out Vince Snr's World Wrestling Federation and the global brand, now known as WWE, was born.
Vince's battles with Ted Turner's WCW in the 90s also felt like the stuff of fiction at times, with the two brands going head-to-head in a TV ratings battle.
It was that rivalry that spurred Vince to develop his on-screen 'Mr McMahon' character, leading to legendary rifts with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock.
As most people would look to retire, the 71-year old is still exceptionally active in the day-to-day running of WWE and his appearances at live events are met with a raucous reaction from fans.
