SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
A member of Ric Flair’s management team has reported via Twitter that the retired former record-setting champion in the NWA/WCW and WWF/WWE is in ICU battling “some tough medical issues.” They are reportedly related to his heart. Flair has had heart issues; years ago doctors told him to stop drinking because of those issues.
Over the weekend, via Twitter, the report was that Ric was hospitalized for some “routine monitoring.” It escalated to a more serious situation over the weekend: “We need prayers and positive energy.”

Prayers sent for The Greatest Of All Time. Loved his promo on this past week’s PGA Championship which was held in the great city of Charlotte, NC.
