By Harry Austen
An update on WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s situation, as he was previously hospitalized.
As reported earlier, WWE Legend Ric Flair was hospitalized with ‘tough medical issues’. However, according to TMZ, Flair is out of surgery and with his family.
The initial report of the Flair trouble came from Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, who noted that Flair was taken to an ICU by his family on Saturday. Furthermore, a representative for Ric took to Twitter to address the situation:
The representative then made a further comment, one in which, the jet flying son of a gun would have been proud of:
"“Yes, we’d like to thank his fiancé & the incredible hospital staff who are providing the best care,” the rep said. “No, we cannot answer any personal questions. Yes, Ric would want you to go out and have a great weekend, Nature Boy style!”"
Now, in what feels like a never-ending story, per TMZ, we may finally be seeing some progress in regards to Ric Flair, and his surgery scare.
"Flair is out of surgery and resting, a rep for WWE tells TMZ Sports. Unclear how the surgery went but we’re told Ric’s family is by his side and they’re waiting to meet with doctors."
As well as the report from TMZ, Dave Meltzer also noted that Ric had just completed surgery:
"“He’s out of surgery. It’s good that he’s out of surgery. It’s still real bad. I had it just told to me in some detail, not exactly identical, but very similar to what happened to my dad. However, his kidneys are functioning which is the main difference and no cancer issues.”"
