Ric Flair Out Of Surgery Following Medically Induced Coma
The WWE Hall Of Famer's manager shares an update on his condition.
WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair is currently resting after undergoing successful surgery on Monday afternoon, according to a statement from his manager.
Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment, who represent Flair, issued the update on Twitter:-
As per Zanoni, Flair was initially hospitalised for "routine monitoring," with reports suggesting that his issues were heart-related. Her latest update confirms that this is not the case, and while Flair's surgery went well, he remains in an intensive care unit. For what it's worth, former WWE personality "Mean" Gene Okerlund noted on Facebook that Flair was in hospital for colon surgery.
WWE have addressed the situation on their official website, and again on last night's Raw, with Michael Cole confirming 'The Nature Boy's' successful surgery.
Zanoni had previously tweeted asking for "prayers and positive energy" for Flair's "tough medical issues." Ric was put into a medically induced coma ahead of yesterday's procedure, and it was initially reported that he'd been scheduled for an operation later in the week. There's no word on whether or not yesterday's surgery fulfils this.
Details on the nature of Flair's health issues remain scarce, but at least this is some positive news.
