Ric Flair hospitalized, dealing with 'tough medical issues'
WWE legend Ric Flair is dealing with what his management described as "tough medical issues" after being hospitalized Saturday.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reported the 68-year-old was taken to an intensive care unit with heart-related issues. However, Legacy Talent CEO Melinda Morris Zanoni, who represents Flair, insisted on Twitter that it was for "routine monitoring" and there was no reason to panic.
