Ric Flair Diagnosed With Skin Cancer (WWE News)
WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair has revealed that he's battling skin cancer for the second time.
Wrestling legend and multi-time WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair has revealed a shock skin cancer diagnosis. The 'Nature Boy' told People that this is the second time in just 3 years that he's dealt with cancer diagnosis. Initially, the former WCW, WWE, TNA and AEW man wanted to keep the news private, but then he disclosed his illness on social media and appreciated fan concerns.
According to Flair, he'll start undergoing treatment for the cancer at some point next week.
All here at WhatCulture and millions of fans around the world surely extend well wishes to Flair in his fight against this horrible disease. It's frankly horrible that he's had to deal with it at all, let alone multiple times in such a short period of time. Of course, this comes hot on the heels of various other health issues Ric has had in recent times.
Flair Received Backlash For Recent Comments About Jim Ross
Recently, Flair was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. He palmed off backlash towards his comments about fellow legend Jim Ross as fans being unable to take a joke, but folks were less than thrilled when he alleged that JR was "seeking attention" for posting about his own colon cancer diagnosis in mid-May.
That, understandably, did not go down well with anybody and led to a truck load of criticism towards Ric online.
Thankfully, Ross's own surgery to remove cancer well went and he's currently recuperating from the operation. JR's 'Grilling JR' podcast co-host Conrad Thompson was the first to spread the good news on that when he got word from a mutual friend that things had gone to plan.
Again, everyone wishes both men well in their fight against cancer and recovery.
