RIC FLAIR HEALTH CONDITION THREAD

[HumanChessgame]

Has anyone heard anything about Ric Flair being hospitalized yesterday?  I saw something reblogged on fb about it, but it was from some random clickbait celeb news site.

Dave said he was checked into a hospital and put in ICU.

Just setting up Sting for yet another beatdown..

Flair's agent is all NO BIG DEAL but then another rep tweeted HE NEEDS PRAYERS so that sent everyone into a panic in the overnight 

[Zakk_Sabbath]

The director of his upcoming 30 for 30 episode sent a similar tweet asking for prayers as well. I'm hoping for the best but jeez that's a scary sign.

After a day with almost no information on Ric Flair, who was hospitalized yesterday with a heart-related issue, Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment (Flair's management team) posted what came across as an ominous message on Sunday night.

She tweeted: "Are U a Fan/Friend of Ric Flair? If so, we need prayers and positive energy 4 our Living Legend as he is dealing with some tough medical issues."

Legacy Talent and Entertainment also posted on Facebook: "Did you start watching wrestling because of Ric Flair? Does he entertain you every time you see him? Ever use any of his sayings? Do you have a great Ric Flair story? Do you 'WOOOOO!' every time he's mentioned? Are you a Fan? Friend? If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above, we need your prayers, positive energy, and well wishes for our Living Legend as he is dealing with some tough medical issues. Thank you!"

Flair, 68, was in the intensive care unit in an unnamed hospital. His reps were previously downplaying the hospital visit but also saying no information could be released.

This is why my bullshit sensor is on

IF YOU EVER WOOOOOED!!! PRAY FOR HIM!!!

So either they are hyping it up just to get some pub or they are fucking classless idiots

[hammerva]

Well if he is okay then can we at least say a prayer for the nurses who have to deal with a half naked Ric Flair running through the hospital

Yeah either this isn't serious at all or these people live in such a carny world that even sad news should be treated like you are promoting a show at the Onmi

 

[Roman]

At least they didn't say Ric Flair was fighting in a casket match.

[Charlie M.]

I don't know, it doesn't sound good. He lived as hard or harder than Dusty and Piper and he didn't take breaks like they did either.

[RIPPA]

WWE.com put up a story about it

Most likely they felt the need to do so because (or at least felt comfortable doing so because)

 

[BurningBeard]

I always find myself reading PS Hayes tweets in a teenage girl voice. For example:

or

Hope Flair pulls through, that genetic freak can't leave us yet there's still too many Smirnoff Ice's to be chugged

[Curt McGirt]

He does have an irregular heartbeat due to years of alcohol abuse as he detailed in his book, so it could be complications from that. 

[Thibs]

Apparently he's in a medically induced coma. Not good. 

[Playa Shunna Ver 3.0]

Wait.  What the fuck.......this sucks.

[Thibs]

Yeah it does, especially since its coming out of left field like this. 

Cant say its a surprise. You can't live that hard and expect not to have any consequences.

[Death From Above]

This is sad............

Charlotte was well aware of everything while in China, that much I know. She was one of the few.

Must have been a turn for the worst. I was pretty concerned when I heard nothing all day, was just too long since I heard from anyone.

Re: What Flair wrote about his heart in his book

Quote

He didn't have heart failure back then, but did have a heart issue, not exactly how it was described in the book but alcohol related is accurate.

His resting heart rate was freakishly low. That is accurate. Still had issues maybe 15 or so years ago.

Let's hope I don't have to update that subject

I hope and pray you have to change it to "Ric Flair Released From Hospital".

[mattdangerously]

Kick out at two, Naitch.

[Playa Shunna Ver 3.0]

Hopefully it's not to foregone where a pace maker or something can help.  If not, the next step is a heart transplant.  Either way I hope all works out best for Ric and his family.

or at least get a foot on the bottom rope

I comfort myself with the thought that the heart monitor he's hooked up to doesn't go beep but rather woooo.

And also bladed, somehow, to sell his condition. 

In all seriousness, this sucks and obviously I hope he'll strut out of this okay.
