Ric Flair's management has asked people to pray for the WWE legend as he is dealing with "tough medical issues". The WWE Hall of Famer was rushed to the hospital over the weekend by family members.
Melinda Morris Zanoni, CEO of Legacy Talent LLC, took to social media on Monday (14 August) and called on Nature Boy fans to keep the former wrestler in their "prayers and positive energy".
"Are u a Fan/Friend of Ric Flair? If so, we need prayers & positive energy 4 our Living Legend as he is dealing w/some tough medical issues," Zanoni wrote on Twitter.
The statement from the WWE Hall of Famer's management comes after Flair was admitted to the hospital for what was said to be a "routine monitoring".
"Yes, Ric is checked into the hospital for some routine monitoring," Zanoni previously said but did not explain in detail as to what caused the 68-year-old to be admitted to the hospital.
"No, there is no reason to panic," Zanoni added.
She continued: "We'd like to thank his fiance and the incredible hospital staff who are providing the best care."
"No, we cannot answer any personal questions. Yes, Ric would want you to go out and have a great weekend, Nature Boy style!"
Flair's health scare comes just a few months after his fiancée Wendy Barlow was hospitalised following a "serious" car accident.
"Please Pray for my Fiancé who was just in a serious car wreck. She is at the Hospital," Flair wrote. She was later released from the hospital.
Flair had proposed to Barlow – his former WCW manager – in July 2016 after dating her for three years. Flair divorced his fourth wife in 2012.
Flair is one of the greatest WWE stars of all-time. He is a 16-time world champion, with John Cena being the only other star to have won as many titles.

I wonder if his work in the ring and all those years of partying finally caught up with him....poor guy. I met him not too long ago actually.

RIP Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, probably the greatest Wrasslin manager of all time.....he actually was a good worker in the ring too. It's a shame he suffered so long with cancer.
RIP Bruno longest reigning WWF heavyweight champion of all time...he held the title for a little under 8 years

Actually saw honky tonk man last year, what a miserable sh!te he was. he is a very bitter man if you see his interviews on youtube.
I cant believe how much these guys snitch/slag each other off, thousands of videos on youtube of them doing it.
Right on! Good match up, 2 greats Ric and Randy.Quote:

he was having a go @ his agent when I saw him. Me and my mates were pi$$ing ourselves ;DQuote:

R.I.P to Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart
Best known for teaming with Bret 'The Hitman' Hart in The Hart Foundation and with Owen Hart in The New Foundation. He was big time into partying and drug use so this doesn't come as a shock to me.

I remember him! RIP Dude
Pretty sad, Brett Hart was one of my favourites. Hart Foundation were awesome.
Man that's when Wrasslin was fun, late 80's early 90's. Neidhart was a great persona. I thought I heard Brett was real sick some time back but saw him on the tube at some ufc card week or two ago and he looked good.
He looked ok last I saw him but not sure.Quote:

Here's a bit on it. Basically they screwed Hart out of the championship before he left for the WCW.Quote:

[QUOTE=Master;1487408]It was a huge controversy in the industry at the time. Who's to say Brett and Vince didn't come to some agreement as it was The Hitmans last for the WWF anyway and gave both parties a massive boost.Quote:

It's just a conspiracy theory I had.
Hart seemed to truly always hold a grudge, even at his HOF induction, still til today.
Reasons to think it was planned:
Brett had a creative control clause in his contract, it would have been breach of contract had it gone against Harts wishes.
Brett punching Vince was never filmed. Also the black eye looked fake.
Hart could head to the WCW playing the victim card.
Coincidentally they were filming a documentary on Hart at this exact time.
