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.

      BREAKiNG NEWS: Panthers interested in trading for Trey Hendrickson

      By Basbear · Posted

      I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....

      Did Cam Really Say This??

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.

      That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
