Ric Flair in Critical Condition, Facing "Multiple Organ Problems"
We have an update on the status of wrestling legend Ric Flair.
We just wish it were a more positive update.
As previously reported, Flair was admitted to a hospital near Atlanta last week and then placed in a medically-induced coma as his condition worsened.
He underwent significant surgery, which sources initially connected to past heart problems the former WCW and WWE champion had admitted were a result of heavy drinking over the years.
But Melinda Morris Zanoni, the CEO of Legacy Talent LLC and a close friend of Flair’s, later went on record as saying the issue was NOT heart related.
Either way, Flair came out of the procedure on Monday and has been resting under doctor’s supervision ever since.
This doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods, however.
Wendy Barlow released a statement on Facebook on Wednesday afternoon addressing her fiancee’s ongoing condition and rumors that have circulated online since news of his health surfaced.
“Just want to give an update to my friends and family as I have been unable to talk on the phone without crying and just feel shocked over events,” Barlow wrote, adding;’
“I took Ric to the hospital Friday night with severe abdominal pain. From that moment on it all seems like a nightmare … multiple organ problems.”
Barlow did not specify just what caused these organ problems.
“I want everyone to know he still needs prayers as he is still in critical condition,” she added.
“No, he did not have colon surgery… I don’t know how the media comes up with their stories.
“I have been by his side since Friday and will continue to make sure he is getting the best care possible. Thanks for all of the support and love.”
It’s unclear at the moment whether or not Flair is still in a coma.
He’s one of the most respected wrestlers of all time, having worked in every major organization over a career than spanned over five decades.
In total, the “Nature Boy” has held 31 championship belts.
A two-time WWE Hall-of-Famer, Flair had been in the news prior to this health scare because ESPN will air a documentary about him in November.
He spoke to reporters about the project just days before he was admitted to the hospital.
We will continue to send our thoughts to Flair’s family and hope he makes a full recovery from whatever ails him.

Parents Hear Late Daughter"s Heart Inside Organ Recipient
Be warned about the following video.
It is guaranteed to make you cry.
But it"s also guaranteed to make you stop and think and appreciate life and your loved ones.
It features the family of 14-year-old Katelyn Zimmerman, a young woman who was killed by a drunk driver in March.
Katelyn"s parents recently had the opportunity, however, to remember their loved one in a special and unique way: by meeting the person who received her heart.
As reported by ABC11, the Zimmermans actually listen below to Katelyn"s heart beating inside Albert Jeffries IV, a 14-year-old from North Carolina with dilated cardiomyopathy.
A resident of Burlington, he was on the waiting list for a new heart for over 100 days before his family received the call that changed its life forever.
“Thank you for the gift of being able to see more in life,” Albert – whose condition means his heart has trouble pumping blood reads in a letter to Katelyn’s family during their meeting.
“Thank you for being my miracle.”
ABC reports that Katelyn and her brother, Dylan, were both tragically killed in the March accident, with Katelyn having just told her grandmother that same day how she wanted to be an organ donor.
At an event organized for this amazing occasion, butterflies and balloons were released into the air.
Albert’s mother read a poem and everyone cried.
“It put us at peace knowing that Katelyn’s heart is still beating even though it’s not in her,” her father, Shawn Zimmerman said, according to Fox8, adding:
"He gets to do what Katelyn can"t do, live on, do a kid thing, be a kid."
We"ll give Albert"s mother, Tina, the final say in this inspiring story:
"We could not stop crying. We could not stop hugging. We could not stop thanking them for everything. A thank you is just not enough, it"s just not enough for what they"ve done for my family."
