Ric Flair Out of Surgery After Medically Induced Coma, Family By His Side

----

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Ric Flair was hospitalized this morning for heart-related issues … however, his rep claims it was due to “routine monitoring.”


Sources told us this morning that Flair was taken to an ICU after being admitted by his family, but we were unable to verify with his management team.

However, a rep for the 68-year old has now released a statement on social media saying, “Yes, Ric is checked into a hospital for some routine monitoring. No, there is no reason to panic.”

Adding, “Yes, we’d like to thank his fiancé & the incredible hospital staff who are providing the best care. No, we cannot answer any personal questions. Yes, Ric would want you to go out and have a great weekend … Nature Boy style!”

We’ll keep you updated if there are any more official updates.

I thought he already married his fiancée and this was a new one

Just looking at Flair's wiki and it has him divorcing a wife and marrying a wife in the exact same year the last 3 marriages. He didn't have a gap year(s) in marriage till this fiancée
