Update
Conrad Thompson, Ric Flair’s son-in-law, said today during a Starrcast media call that Ric Flair underwent a surgery that he already had scheduled today, and the situation is not as serious as the TMZ story made it out to be.
But Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin says the situation is “more serious than [Conrad] is letting on” and one source told them, “Flair has been dealing with some heart issues as of late and his trip to the ER this morning was in relation to that. Also being told it wasn’t planned ahead of time, despite what’s being said.”
