As a prominent subject of many gifs on TKP, I thought I'd share this info I saw on one our favorites.
Ric Flair's management team asks for prayers as he deals with 'tough medical issues'
No real details of what's going on though.
Sorry to sidetrack the latest coming out of Blacksburg.

oof, what is that opposite of wooooo? Get better man
opposite of wooooo is owwwww
:(
Wow, I hate to hear that. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for The Nature Boy.
I saw that ESPN finally announced a release date for the Ric Flair 30 for 30.
Just saw him three weeks ago when I took my teenage son to Supercon in Raleigh. He looked like he was struggling to walk but I just chalked that up to the beating he has taken over the years. He was sitting in the lobby of our hotel later texting his ride when I chatted with him for a few minutes. Honestly, he didn't look great. I've got a couple of pics but lack the knowledge to post them.
Will be a sad day if the "Woooo" ever goes silent.
:(
He's in a medically induced coma and is scheduled for surgery. Outside of that, nobody really knows what's going on.
I've seen some reasonably credible reports saying its a heart failure due to chronic alcohol abuse. There's a term for it but I can't recall what it is (I'm the complete opposite of a medical expert).
I'm really hoping he somehow pulls through. Ric Flair is my favorite wrestler all time and I'm gonna be so bummed if his time is up. This news has left me in a daze all day
Yep - Alcoholic cardiomyopathy, a condition caused by excessive, prolonged alcohol abuse that can lead to heart failure.
Dude pulled 400lbs this year too. Hope he pulls through.
Please Ric pull through and stay strong.
Ric will pull through. This was the last time he was on a gurney.

The official latest on the Nature Boy from his Fiance (a day ago). SI reports that part of his bowels was removed.
