The WWE CEO, whose favourite catchphrase is “you’re fired”, has been the leader in the sports entertainment business for decades and is renowned for being one of greatest heels of all-time.
His battles with Stone Cold Steve Austin were legendary, and he once came to blows with US President Donald Trump at WrestleMania.
And despite being 72 he is still showing no signs of slowing down.
Last month he returned to the ring, with his infamous strut, to receive a brutal beating from Kevin Owens on SmackDown Live.
Should Cooper decide to accept the role he will be working under the directorial guidance of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra.
