Phantom Lord Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I am hoping Ric does not have a failing heart because if he might need a transplant, his rampant drinking would almost certainly disqualify him for one i'd imagine. Maybe it's something more routine like a valve replacement or a pacemaker. But man, its amazing and scary to think he was wrestling with a bad heart in TNA. Didn't they think he almost had a legit heart attack during the last match he had with Sting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember that but I feel like it ended up being related to his recurring rotator cuff issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have a pacemaker. Really easy surgery, and would not be described as extremely serious, so rule that out. Maybe he just needed a valve replacement but the news does not sound good right now. Hoping Naitch pulls through, and makes the proper changes to keep on living.

odessasteps Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Interesting that the sports radio station in Toronto is including Flair updates in their news breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 When I heard yesterday that he was in the Hospital, I shrugged it off, when I read about asking for prayers I really know its a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Apparently - Flair was scheduled for surgery this week anyway but it is a little unclear if that was the scheduled procedure or if this was something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 That's what Flair gets for eating Frank Costanza's cooking. (Obvious sarcasm, if you know the episode.) Get well, Naitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Meltzer said there weren't any cancer issues but I can't imagine any other "serious" condition requiring colon surgery other than that. I would definitely take Okerlund as a more reliable source at this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Certainly not an expert on colons(insert Primo/Epico joke) but maybe a perforation or some type of internal bleeding as opposed to cancer? Those coupled with heart issues could be more serious than those issues strictly on their own. I did see this this evening from his agency(although with their track record on this from the beginning........) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 If he needed a colonectomy because the organ was dying that's pretty major. My dad went in for that last month (it was luckily just a kink and nothing was removed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was prepared to go into an extended period of mourning there. Good to hear that Naich grabbed the bottom rope before tapping out to the Figure Four leglock reversal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I hope that if he makes it through ok, he can find some way to enjoy life while not being able to be the Nature Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sad thing in all of this...I truly doubt he can, which is why he's in this situation in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Per Meltzer on WOR - He confirmed that Flair's surgery was colon surgery (he had a colon blockage). The blockage is what started the other issues. - He believes Flair is on kidney dialysis (at least for now) - It was real bad yesterday around the time yesterday you started seeing all the "thoughts and pray" tweets and it didn't look good. Flair being able to make it through surgery was "good" (as much as surgery can be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Fuck, that's serious. My uncle died from complications due to a bowel blockage. Hopefully his system won't be so polluted that he is in dialysis from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
