Everyone’s favorite Rolex-wearing, diamond ring-wearing, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ dealin’, limousine-riding, jet-flying son of a gun is in bad shape right now. Ric Flair has been hospitalized and admitted to an intensive care unit over the weekend. Originally, Flair was said to be getting a routine checkup, but reports now claim that it is a much, much more dire situation.
Late Sunday night, Melinda Morris Zanoni, the CEO of Legacy Talent LLC, tweeted out that the two-time WWE Hall of Famer needs “prayers & positive energy” because “he is dealing w/some tough medical issues.”

Pro Wrestling Sheet first reported the 68-year-old wrestler was hospitalized near his home in Atlanta on Saturday morning for heart-related issues, but it was said to be a “routine monitoring.” On Saturday, Zanoni wrote, “Yes, Ric is checked into a hospital for some routine monitoring. No, there is no reason to panic. Yes, Ric would want you to go out and have a great weekend … Nature Boy style!”
