stro Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Is it bad my first thought was, "Was Ric the drunk driver that caused the accident?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 First look at ESPN's "Nature Boy", the 30 For 30 profile on Ric, set to air November 7th, and it looks like no punches will be pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyonthewall2983 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 My major concern is that somehow WWE's agenda of sports entertainment vs. "rasslin'" will be crow-barred into this, using his personal life to frame their argument as a cautionary tale of what it used to be before Vince McMahon magically changed everything for the better. Then again, Dick Ebersol's son is not directing so I have some faith in how it will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyonthewall2983 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 He was hospitalized a few days ago. The first word out was that it's nothing serious but last night on Twitter, the director of the doc and his agent asked for prayers and positive vibes.

The way it was a routine check and the fact he was in ICU didn't add up to me. I hope this ends well for ric. He's my favourite wrestler of all time.

It's not altogether uncommon, especially in older people, for a fairly routine hospital visit to become more serious once they start running tests and find something. That's what happened to my uncle, he went in for a routine test and they found late-stage cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 My father's doctor begged him to go into the hospital for test, but he refused and died later that night. I hope everything works out with Ric, its hard to imagine the world without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Flair's management says it's not heart related. Gene Okerlund said he had colon surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Meltzer said he's out of surgery but by no means out of the woods. I remember something he said in a shoot interview, basically about how he couldn't see living if he were paralyzed, and that his father (a doctor) told him that the will to live is stronger than you know.

iamthedoctor Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wendy Barlow, fiancee to WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, took to Facebook on Wednesday and confirmed that Flair did not have colon surgery as has been reported. Her full statement with an update on Ric's condition can be read below: Just want to give an update to my friends and Family as I have been unable to talk on the phone without crying and just feel shocked over events....I took Ric to the Hospital Friday night with Severe Abdominal pain. From that moment on it all seems like a nightmare...multiple Organ problems. Not to go into too many details I want everyone to know he still needs Prayers as he is still in Critical Condition. And No he did not have Colon Surgery....It was another Surgery! I don't know how the Media comes up with their stories. I have been by his side since Friday and will continue to make sure he is getting the best care possible Thanks for all of the support and Love As noted, Flair was placed in a medically induced coma on Monday and underwent successful surgery that same day.
