Yesterday, we reported some unfortunate news that beloved pro-wrestling legend Ric “The Nature Boy” Flair had been hospitalized over the weekend.
Thankfully wrestling fans were able to let out a big “Wooooo” of relief when Legacy Talent CEO Melinda Morris Zanoni revealed that the 68-year-old wrestling legend was doing alright.
“Yes, Ric checked into a hospital for routine monitoring, no reason to panic. Many thanks to his fiance, and hospital staff for providing care. No excuses—Ric would want you to go out tonight and enjoy yourself, Nature Boy style!”
Unfortunately, Flair’s condition took a turn for the worse late Sunday evening.
