NFT: Ric Flair in ICU

GMAN4LIFE : 8/14/2017 12:00 pm
Sucks to hear. Apparently his health has worsened and now in the ICU. Heart issues.


if he were to go, i might get teary eyed about it. Fucking guy was an awesome wrestler and even better on the mic. the golf championship this weekend had a promo by him hyping it up. it was awesome.
Meltzer saying it doesn't look or sound good

And Flair's manager asking for prayers.

Damn that would really suck. I don't know what the issue is but I hope he pulls through, he is one a kind for sure.
Saw him on TV recently at some event

that it seemed odd for him to be at... I remember saying, I think that's Ric Flair... what the heck is he doing there? But now I can't remember what it was. He was my favorite wrestler when I was a kid.

Saw a post that said he was in a medically induced coma. :(
Oh fuck

He's one of those old guys who was "always old" to me for some reason, even 25-30 years ago lol
He lived a fast life of

He definitely has had permanent "party face".
Whooooo!!!

That feels like as reasonable a way as any to wish him well

He's 68, which is like 250 in pro wrestler years, but wish he (and many others I remember so fondly) could enjoy several more years of peaceful old age
Lets get some tirbute videos up in here

best of Rick Flair - ( New Window )
Feel bad for him...

lost a son and had racked up so much debt in Charlotte, he had to move away to Atlanta.

He used to be a celebrity here and owned all the Gold's Gyms in the 80's and 90's. Then he made several bad business decisions and left creditors hanging.

Ric Flair is in a medically induced coma and is preparing for surgery ... a rep for the WWE tells TMZ Sports.
The 68-year-old wrestling icon was admitted to the hospital early Saturday morning and the situation has gotten more serious.
We're told Flair is set to undergo a procedure momentarily, though we're not being told what the procedure is ... though Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that it's a heart related issue.
Flair's rep had previously asked for thoughts and prayers for the Nature Boy.
Story developing ...
Damn, a true American icon

Get well, Ric! We're pulling for ya, WHOOOOOO!
NOT SLICK RIC

That man can't be allowed to die. It might be the oldest ride in the park but it still has the longest line!

His speech the night he came back on Nitro to bitch out Bischoff on national TV had a group of college kids huddled around a TV yelling on a normal Monday night. classic Flair.

That's right, Woo! Every time!
