WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is facing an extended recovery process following a severe fall in Florida, revealing that he requires another surgical procedure and a potential skin graft to address facial injuries.
Taking to social media on October 28, the 77-year-old wrestling legend shared a photo from the USF Health Eye Institute alongside his medical team, remaining optimistic despite the ongoing health challenges.
“One More Surgery And One More Possible Skin Graft, And Then I Will Be Good To Go! Thank You @USFHealth Eye Institute!🙏🏻” Flair shared in his public update.
Facial Trauma And Recent Hospitalization In Tampa
The announcement comes five days after Flair was rushed to Tampa General Hospital following a bloody fall outside a local establishment on October 23.
The incident left the two-time WWE Hall of Famer with cuts around his head and right eye, requiring overnight treatment before his release early the following morning.
- Emergency Treatment: Flair received care through 4:30 a.m. at Tampa General Hospital for facial trauma before posting an initial update wearing an eye patch.
- Pre-Existing Health Issues: The accident occurred shortly after Flair disclosed he was treating a serious blood clot in his leg, which forced him to cancel a scheduled convention appearance in Seattle due to travel restrictions imposed by his doctors.
- Reported Circumstances: Industry reports noted that Flair was seen socialising near his home in Tampa prior to the fall, with the legend later reassuring fans: “I Am Focused On My Healing And Recovery Right Now. I Will Be Okay!”
Despite facing multiple health setbacks in rapid succession—including his leg blood clot, facial cuts, and impending eye surgery—”The Nature Boy” remains in high spirits as he prepares for his next phase of medical treatment.
