Ric Flair Fall: What TMZ Reported
According to TMZ’s sources, Flair was hanging out at Wagamama in Tampa when he got up from the bar — leaving his phone and drink behind — and walked across the street. While outside, he suddenly fell and injured his face. A photo obtained by TMZ shows emergency medical personnel gathered around the Nature Boy.
TMZ reports that Flair cut his head and eye open during the fall, with his eye bleeding extensively. He may also have a concussion, according to their sources. He was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Same-Day Blood Clot Revelation
The fall came on the same day Flair took to social media to tell fans he is dealing with a blood clot in his leg — and to apologize to fans in Seattle for canceling his scheduled appearance, because his doctors have limited his travel.
Two health scares in a single day for the 77-year-old legend is alarming for fans, and Fightful says it will keep updating the story as more information becomes available. Flair has battled serious health issues in recent years, and his supporters will be hoping this hospital visit ends with good news.
