10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 1992 Facts
6. Ric Flair Was Coming Off Of An Unusual Injury
Very late in what would be Ric Flair's second and final run as WWE Champion, "The Nature Boy" suffered a rather peculiar malady during a house show match against The Ultimate Warrior. During the course of the match, Flair started exhibiting balance issues, apparently following a flipping turnbuckle bump. He worked through the title change to Bret Hart days later, while still suffering the ill effects.
Flair was formally diagnosed with paroxysmal position vertigo, a balance disorder caused by a bone within his ear chipping, leading to the unsettling of his equilibrium. The loss of balance associated with the condition necessitated him being taken out of the ring for a short period of time.
Aside from one house show match with Warrior days after dropping the strap to Hart, Flair didn't wrestle for close to a month. He resumed his working schedule less than one week before Survivor Series.
