#1 Ric Flair issues statement after leaving the hospital

The Nature Boy was hospitalized

Two time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was rushed to the hospital last week after experiencing a medical emergency. According to recent reports, The 16-time World Champion was seen heading out of the hospital yesterday, and he took to Twitter to issue a statement later on about the matter.

Ric Flair is considered by many WWE fans, critics and wrestlers to be one of, if not, the greatest wrestler of all time. Flair is a record-tying 16-time World Champion and was a member of two of the biggest factions in pro-wrestling history, The Four Horsemen and Evolution.

According to a recent report, "The Nature Boy" has had a couple of heart issues in recent months and has undergone several procedures. The 70-year-old was taken to the hospital for another one last week, but the doctors had to postpone it because of some complications. However, they went ahead with the operation on Monday, and he is now discharged – just 48 hours after the surgery.

The 2x Hall of Famer was accompanied by his wife Wendy Barlow and took to Twitter to send a message to his fans. He tweeted:

The Naitch Is Home!!! Thank You To All The Incredible Staff And Doctors At Gwinnett Medical Center Once Again! I Am So Thankful For All My Family, Friends, And Fans For All The Love. At This Time In My Life, I Never Take It For Granted. I Will Be Back Up And WOOOOOing In No Time!
