King Kong Bundy, obviously
Besides ones already mentioned in here: Kazuchika Okada. It would basically detail NJPW's resurgence from its darkest days (Bob Sapp as champ lol) and its rise to be a real global #2, and its aspirations on the Western market, with him as the face of their growth/expansion.
Piper is 100x more interesting than Hogan or even Flair.
Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
The Hardy Bros
Snuka
Dino Bravo
Nobody knows who the duck Okada is. Ric, Hogan, Savage, Piper, Rock, Austin and Cena are cultural icons.

Vince verses the wrestling business is probably the one to make -- although he was already in the XFL 30 for 30 and covered to some extent. The unauthorized biography of McMahon "Sex, Lies and Headlocks" was written by ESPN writers.
Hogan is the only other compelling figure. All those other guys are jabronis.
Also like I said, it would be a lot about NJPW itself and its rise to be #2 promotion in the world.
Nobody who watches ESPN has any idea what NJPW is.
That's half the point
XFL 30 for 30 wasn’t good enough at showing that Vince had no ducking idea about football and got into a business which would be the equivalent of me opening a car wash.
For Ric, you could add survived a plane crash, took NWA belt to WWF, won every accolade of any significance in pro wrestling, played college football, lost a kid to dope, and have another kid who is a champ.Ric - I used to drink, fuck a lot of women, show my dick, buy drinks and profile.
Piper - I was a thief, homeless, became a boxer, black belt judo artist, fought everybody, built Hogan, drank and snorted more than Ric, never fucked a girl other than my wife, got shot at and stabbed, never won the Big belt for some reason and Austin killed me.

I mean if "black belt judo", "boxer", and "homeless" make the cut for Roddy, I don't see why the things I listed aren't equally as compelling about Ric.I would add the kid to dope. I’ll give you the crash. Charlotte so so.
Nobody would watch it. 30 for 30 takes icons. So - Hogan, Piper, Savage, Andre.
Benoit would be interesting.
I'd like to see one on Dusty.
