Ric Flair

According to TMZ Sports, WWE and pro wrestling legend Ric Flair is in a medically induced coma and being prepped for surgery.

This comes after the 68-year-old, 21-time World Champion was admitted to the hospital this past weekend for what was described as โ€œtough medical issuesโ€ according to the former wrestlerโ€™s spokesperson.

Pro Wrestling Sheet is currently reporting that Flair is dealing with a heart issue.

In his book,  โ€œTo be the Manโ€, Flair stated that heโ€™s suffered from alcoholic cardiomyopathy which causes the heart muscle to inefficiently pump blood due to the toxic effects of alcohol.
