1 min read

WWE legend Ric Flair was hospitalized after suffering a severe facial injury following a sudden collapse outside a Florida restaurant, according to multiple sources. The incident occurred on Friday at Wagamama in Tampa, where Flair was reportedly at the bar when he left his phone and drink behind before walking across the street.

Once outside, Flair collapsed and sustained a facial injury that left him bloodied, with sources noting extensive bleeding from his eye and potential concussion. Medical personnel arrived on the scene and rushed him to the hospital by ambulance. No further details about his condition or the cause of the fall were immediately available.

The incident is believed to have occurred just hours after Flair posted on social media about his inability to fly due to a blood clot. In the post, he emphasized the seriousness of blood clots, referencing recent complications faced by NFL quarterback Jalen Hurts. Flair explained that he was scheduled for a procedure to address the affected vein, which he hoped would allow him to resume travel.

Flair, known as the ‘Nature Boy,’ has had a storied career in professional wrestling, but this incident marks a significant health concern for the 71-year-old icon. The fall and resulting injury have raised questions about his current physical condition and the impact of his recent medical issues.

While Flair’s condition remains unclear, the incident highlights the importance of following medical advice, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions. His hospitalization serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with blood clots and the need for careful management.
