TMZ Sports reported Ric Flair was rushed to a hospital Thursday morning after suffering a medical emergency.
We’re told Flair was in the Atlanta area when something went wrong. The 70-year-old WWE legend was initially taken to the emergency room to be treated.
The specifics are unclear at this point — but we’re told the situation is “very serious.”
We reached out to Ric’s camp for comment — so far, no word back.
UPDATE: Conrad Thompson spoke on his father-in-law Ric Flair’s condition during today’s Starrcast media call. He noted that the situation is not as serious as first reported by TMZ. Thompson noted that Flair planned to have the medical procedure done before his roast at Starrcast in Las Vegas.
Thompson noted that Flair has been dealing with some heart trouble as of late and the procedure was being done to address that.
Ric’s wife, Wendy Barlow, says she expects Ric to make a “full recovery.”
“Due to ongoing health complications, Ric was taken to the hospital and is expected to undergo a procedure tomorrow morning, after which he expects to fully recover.”
