Pro Wrestling Sheet recently reported that former 16-time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair was hospitalized due to a heart-related issue, and shortly following the report, Flair’s management team, Legacy Talent and Entertainment, downplayed his hospital visit. But, on Sunday night, they changed their tune.
First, Melinda Morris Zanoni, the CEO of Legacy Talent and Entertainment, posted this on her Twitter page.

Then, Legacy Talent and Entertainment posted the following on their Facebook page.
“Did you start watching wrestling because of Ric Flair? Does he entertain you every time you see him? Ever use any of his sayings? Do you have a great Ric Flair story? Do you ‘WOOOOO!’ every time he’s mentioned? Are you a Fan? Friend? If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above, we need your prayers, positive energy, and well wishes for our Living Legend as he is dealing with some tough medical issues. Thank you!”
Flair was placed in the intensive care unit during his visit to an unnamed hospital. As of this writing, we don’t have any further updates on his condition.
