Ric Flair

The wife of Ric Flair confirmed the wrestling legend is set to undergo surgery after he was taken to an Atlanta area hospital.

Flair’s wife, Wendy Barlow, announced the 70-year-old will be having an operation Friday morning. She did not disclose what the procedure was for.

“Due to ongoing health complications, Ric was taken to the hospital and is expected to undergo a procedure tomorrow morning, after which he expects to fully recover,” Barlow said in a statement sent to PEOPLE.

Flair experienced a “very serious” medical emergency Thursday morning, according to TMZ Sports. The medical scare may be related to Flair’s recent heart issues, a source told the wrestling news website Pro Westling Sheet.

Flair, who wrestled for four decades during stints in WCW and WWE, has experienced a number of health issues in recent years, including an emergency in August 2017 when it was revealed he was in the early stages of kidney failure and on the verge of congestive heart failure — the result of years of alcohol abuse.

I'm sure the decades of steroid use did him no favors either.

Flair?? steroids noooo!!

I think it's more to do with decades of hard drinking, drugs, women and the 70', 80' wrestling culture..

steroids have use besides making you big and muscular. responsible steroid use is most likely the reason he was able to wrestle into his 50s (and longer). they're used for recovery as much as for aesthetics. bret hart credits taking steroids with prolonging his career. people forget he was already 40 years old at the top of his career.

    • Someone correct me- doesn't Dave have a six year contract??? I think Dan Morgan does as well..... that's the price you have to pay once you get a rep for firing HCs....  
    • Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.
