News
Aug 25, 2017

Ric Flair is still hospitalized and in critical condition in Atlanta after undergoing surgery almost two weeks ago for a bowel obstruction, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

However, things are apparently looking up and Flair appears to be getting better each day, though he is not “out of the woods” yet. Flair is now conscious and speaking, but is still on dialysis and his kidneys are still not functioning properly. There is also an infection that needs to be cleared and Flair will likely require surgery for a pacemaker. He is currently using an external pacemaker, which is stabilizing his heart beat.
