Ric Flair is back home recovering after a hospital emergency following a scary fall in Tampa, Florida. The 77-year-old WWE Hall of Famer was rushed to the hospital on Friday night after sustaining a severe facial injury outside a local establishment.
Hospitalization And Emergency Treatment
The legendary wrestling icon received urgent medical treatment for an eye injury at Tampa General Hospital. Reports indicate that Flair fell down outside the Wagamama restaurant and bar, resulting in heavy bleeding from his face before an ambulance transported him to the medical facility.
Flair remained under direct medical supervision until early Saturday morning before receiving his official release. On Saturday afternoon, the nature boy broke his silence on social media to thank fans and address the medical team.
“Thank you all for the messages and prayers,” Flair wrote. “I will get back to you each individually as I get stronger. Thank you to all the Tampa General Hospital staff and doctors that put up with me until 4:30am. I appreciate you all and thank you for everything you did for me!”
He followed up with a reassuring update regarding his current status, stating:
“I am focused on my healing and recovery right now. I will be okay!”
Facebook Account Hijack During Medical Crisis
While hospitalized, fans noticed bizarre activity on Flair’s official Facebook profile. The multi-time World Champion addressed the situation, explaining that a legal dispute with a digital talent agency has cost him control of his own page.
“And just so you know for those who were asking and wondering, I don’t own my own Facebook page anymore,” he revealed. “I apologize for the reckless posting behavior on my Facebook when I was in the hospital. It was completely inappropriate!”
Pre-Existing Blood Clot Issues And Travel Restrictions
According to additional details from TMZ, the accident occurred right after Flair stood up from the bar area and attempted to cross the street. This physical setback happened just hours after he canceled a scheduled appearance at the Washington State Horror Con due to an unrelated medical issue.
The wrestling legend has been quietly dealing with a dangerous blood clot in his leg for several months. This ongoing vein condition has severely restricted his ability to travel long distances, and he is currently scheduled to undergo a specialized medical procedure to fix the issue.
