8 Wrestlers who suffered major health scares recently

#7. Ric Flair

Wooo!

Ric Flair suffered a big health scare this past May. It's not really surprising to hear this because over the past few years, there have been multiple instances where Flair has gone to the hospital and one where fans were left to fear the worst.

In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Flair revealed that they had found a blood clot in his lung.

They found a blood clot in my leg, which I've had for years. But a little piece had gone into my lung and they got rid of that. So I spent three days there cleaning it and I had fluid on my heart from all of the anesthesia from the three other surgeries

Thankfully, the storm passed really quickly this time and once the entire medical procedure and formalities finished, he was good to go. He said:

Then they fixed me and it was like night and day. The next day I knew I was as good as I had ever been. Prior to February, I was running at Level 7 on a Treadmill – that's how good I felt.

He also stated that he does plan to continue his "Ric Flair lifestyle", albeit with moderation:

"I'm not doing my thing like I used to drinking-wise, I'm gonna have a couple of beers, why not? I've come to realize that alcohol is not what caused the problem. It caused problems with my heart but it didn't cause the intestine problems."
