Update: A rather somber update on the Ric Flair story. Jimmy Van, the founder and owner of Fightful.com, posted the following scary update on Ric Flair, stating that Flair has been put in a medically induced coma. Fightful.com has been a very reliable news source in the past… Flair suffers from Alcoholic cardiomyopathy, a condition caused by excessive, prolonged alcohol abuse that can lead to heart failure. When one suffers from the condition, the toxic effects of alcohol on the heart’s muscle can lead to a situation where the organ is unable to pump blood as it should. This has escalated from the announcement over the weekend. Rory Karpf, the director of the ESPN 30 For 30 documentary on Flair's career even took to Twitter to wish Flair well: Credit: 411mania.com/wrestling/ric-flair-reportedly-in-medically-induced-coma/

Update: There are clues emerging as to what exactly WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was admitted to the hospital for. It's being reported (although not officially confirmed yet) that Flair was brought in because of colon surgery, combined with kidney problems. Website itsstillrealtous.com credits Wrestling Observer journalist Dave Meltzer as the source, and quotes him as saying "Flair was in a lot of pain Saturday." “His situation was real bad,” Meltzer is quoted as saying. “He’s not out of the water yet – I believe he’s on kidney dialysis now.” Even WWE Hall of Fame announcer "Mean" Gene Okerlund posted on his Facebook page: “I’ve heard nothing on the outcome of Ric Flair’s colon surgery this afternoon, but the outpouring of prayers and love re-enforce that he definitely is ‘THE MAN’. Ric Flair's daughter Ashley, who wrestles under the name Charlotte Flair, posted on Instagram and update about her father's health: http://instagram.com/p/BX0EmHkgn3M Credit: www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article167242617.html

Update: Ric Flair's fiancée Wendy Barlow took to Facebook to update his condition and it still sounds like he has a long way to go. "I have been unable to talk on the phone without crying and just feel shocked over events," Barlow said in a statement obtained from her Facebook page that was posted on TMZ's website. She stated that Flair is still in critical condition with "multiple organ problems". Her full statement is as follows: "Just want to give an update to my friends and family as I have been unable to talk on the phone without crying and just feel shocked over events. I took Ric to the hospital Friday night with severe abdominal pain. From that moment on it all seems like a nightmare ... multiple organ problems. Not to go into too many details I want everyone to know he still needs prayers as he is still in critical condition. And no he did not have colon surgery... it was another Surgery! I don't know how the Media comes up with their stories. I've been by his side since Friday and will continue to make sure he is getting the best care possible. Thanks for all the support and Love."

According to Ric Flair's rep, he is "awake and communicating" after his emergency surgery this week, as per the rep's Twitter account. She even states that he actually cut a promo on one of the nurses there! So that sounds like some positive news. He still isn't out of the woods yet, as there are some complications. But this sounds like he's progressing. Credit: www.tmz.com/2017/08/19/ric-flair-getting-better-recovering-from-surgery/
