Ric Flair Reportedly Hospitalized In Atlanta
The 70-year-old wrestling legend had a serious health scare back in 2017, and was on the verge of death.
ATLANTA -- Professional wrestling legend Ric Flair has reportedly been hospitalized in Atlanta following an unknown medical emergency. TMZ Sports reported that Flair was admitted to a local hospital Thursday morning.
This is Flair's second serious health scare. In 2017, Flair was treated in an Atlanta intensive care unit for several weeks and was placed in a medically induced coma. He was on life support for 10 days due to kidney and bowel issues. However, the now-70-year Flair, born Richard Fleihr, recovered, and has made numerous public appearances and book signings with his daughter, Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, known as Charlotte Flair in the WWE.
Flair, known as the "Nature Boy," had a pacemaker implanted in his chest, vowed never to drink alcohol again, and married his longtime girlfriend Wendy Barlow.
