Apparently, Flintoff proposed to WWE an idea to face the Undertakerwhich led to a whole conversation about becoming a fighter:
“I was out of shape, I had gain weight and wanted to put myself again. I needed motivation. I loved WWE as a child, so this idea occurred to me because I was doing the television program to League of Their Own with Sky, to fight Undertaker in Manchester.
“I wrote this proposal, as is done on television. You write an idea and present it. I presented it to Sky, they loved it, so it began to take impulse. The next thing was that they passed it to the WWE and began to be in contact with them, with Vince McMahon.
“I trained a lot, I put on shape. The wwe took me to Tampa. My wife and I went to Tampa, and I had two weeks at the Wrestling Academy. They flew from Dubai in executive class, a limousine picked us up and took us to the hotel. The next morning we went to the WWE Academy, they are two huge units, all with the WWE brand. I was sitting in the car and these people passed. They were monsters of two meters or more. My wife asked me 'Are you okay with this?' And I said yes, it would be fine. I entered nobody fell well because it is very competitive. More than sixty people wanted a contract with WWE, and there I was, an English boy.
“I did the warm up and then put me in the ring for three hours. I was crashed with someone and threw me. After lunch I was in the middle and they were running towards me. I started running around the ring. I got tired so much that I jumped on the legs of a boy and I couldn't lift my head. I went straight against the apron and gave myself on my face, I broke my nose, with my legs open.
“Two weeks later, I received a WWE email saying 'You can't make your documentary because you will reveal the secrets, but we want to offer you a three -year contract' '. They said 'we are going to accelerate and in 18 months you will be in Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble'.
“The money was crazy, but we wanted to move from Dubai. The children wanted to play Crick and did not want to go to the United States, so I simply changed to boxing and instead made a fight.”
