Ric Flair Shares Update Following Recent Hospitalization, Says He’s Focused on His Recovery

As previously reported, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was recently hospitalized on Friday (Oct. 23) after falling outside of a Florida restaurant and injuring his face. Ric Flair shared an update on his condition earlier today via his X account. He wrote the following:

“Thank you all for the messages and prayers! I will get back to you each individually as I get stronger. Thank you to all the Tampa General Hospital staff and doctors that put up with me until 4:30 am. I appreciate you all and thank you for everything you did for me! I am focused on my healing and recovery right now. I will be okay! And just so you know, for those who were asking and wondering, I don’t own my own Facebook page anymore. I apologize for the reckless posting behavior on my Facebook when I was in the hospital. It was completely inappropriate!”

On behalf of 411, we send our best wishes to Ric Flair for a quick and full recovery.

Thank You All For The Messages And Prayers! I Will Get Back To You Each Individually As I Get Stronger. Thank You To All The Tampa General Hospital Staff And Doctors That Put Up With Me Until 4:30am. I Appreciate You All And Thank You For Everything You Did For Me! I Am Focused… pic.twitter.com/QCIHyEnPDa
