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.

A follow-up tweet from Zanoni suggested Flair's hospitalization may be more serious than initially indicated, as she asked for "prayers and positive energy" as he deals with "some tough medical issues."
