Ric Flair, a 77-year-old professional wrestling legend, was rushed to a hospital in Tampa, Florida, after falling outside a bar. According to reports, Flair was at the bar when he walked outside and fell, injuring his face and possibly suffering a concussion.
Details of the incident are limited, but it appears that Flair cut his head and eye, which was bleeding, and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. This incident comes just hours after Flair announced that he would be unable to attend a scheduled appearance in Seattle due to a blood clot in his leg.
In a statement on social media, Flair explained that his doctors have limited his travel to three- to four-hour distances due to the blood clot, which he described as "extremely serious and can be life-threatening." He also mentioned recent complications involving blood clots experienced by NFL player Jalen Hurts.
Flair is set to undergo surgery on the affected vein, which his doctors expect will allow him to be cleared for more travel afterwards. The wrestling legend has been open about his health struggles in the past, including battling addiction and other health issues.
Tampa Fire Rescue responded to the incident, but did not release any information about the identity of the individual involved, citing HIPAA guidelines. Flair's health and well-being will be closely watched by fans and colleagues in the wrestling community, given his extensive career and recent health concerns.
