    Not Sounding the Best for the Nature Boy, Ric Flair...

    Hopefully he gets better soon. One of my favorites when growing up.

    Doesn't sound good - some kind of heart issue. He's just 67 but with all the 'roids over the years...

    This is really sad...

    Probably one of the most respected in the industry.

    Hope the guy hangs on...

    But would his funeral be one of the largest attended for any pro wrestler ever?

    I can't think of anyone more popular than this guy throughout the years?

    Probably will be a lot in attendance. From interviews that I heard over the years with other wrestlers, he didn't seem to be very well liked though. Many wrestlers said he was a dick to work with.

    Mick Foley was a pretty popular guy and is was not only well liked by his co-workers, but also by fans as he is a really down to earth nice person to be around. I've never heard one bad thing ever said about Foley by anyone. I've heard nothing but negative shit said about Flair.

    Yep. I'm sure there are feuds with a lot of wrestlers throughout life. I think it just happens. Life of a wrestler... it isn't easy to make a living. Body takes an unbelievable punishment to put on a show for people.

    It's always going to be a mixture of steroids and other toxins. Whether it's alcohol.... pain killers... whatever. Once your heart goes... it's over... you just can't be saved. One hell of a career though. I think I was like... 8 years old when I first watched him on TV.

    Only thing I didn't like about his career was the big retirement with everyone coming out to hug him and then the family, everyone crying, very emotional, then he returns to the ring like 3 weeks later.

    Looks like he is going into surgery here soon...Prayers

    WWE Hall of Famer "Mean" Gene Okerlund indicated on Facebook that Flair was having "colon surgery." He wrote the following:

    I've heard nothing on the outcome of Ric Flairs colon surgery this afternoon but the outpouring of prayers and love re-enforce that he definitely is "THE MAN".
    Pro Wrestling Sheet reported Saturday that Flair, 68, was admitted to an intensive care unit on Saturday morning for heart-related issues. It was reported on Monday by TMZ that Flair was in a medically induced coma and was being prepped for surgery. Their report never confirmed what type of surgery Flair was undergoing.

    It was reported by F4WOnline.com that Flair was scheduled to have surgery this week but it's unknown whether the surgery he had was the original surgery scheduled or a new surgery.

    Flair is resting with his family by his side.
