Everyone is worried about Ric Flair. The two-time WWE Hall Of Famer has been having some serious health issues recently and fans want to know what’s going on.
Eric Bischoff has a long friendship with Flair and recently spoke about The Nature Boy’s current health situation on his podcast Bischoff On Wrestling.
In the end, after Bischoff said it was hard for him to imagine his friend in such a medical dilemma he advised fans on what they can do if they truly respect The Nature Boy.
“I think that you know, like a lot of fans and a lot of friends of Ric and his peers in the industry across the board I think we’re all concerned. For me on a personal note it’s just really hard for me to imagine Ric Flair in any kind of a compromised position or situation physically. I just saw Ric a couple months ago and [Flair’s fiance] Wendy and we went out to dinner a couple nights in a row. We were both in Montreal together at the same time.”
“It’s just hard for me to imagine as sick as he is right now” Eric continued. “I try to keep real positive thoughts, say a few prayers for him throughout the day and just hope for the best because Ric is — look if anybody can pull out of tough situation like this it’s Ric Flair. He’s been in tough situations before. Plane crashes and challenges in life that you know — a lot of people couldn’t pull through and Ric has so if anybody — my wife told me yesterday morning ‘if anybody is gonna kick out of this it’s Ric Flair.'”
“As far as any updates go I’ve been able to stay aware of what’s going on.” Eric Bischoff went on to talk about how he felt any health updates on Flair’s situation should come from Flair’s family.
“If you respect Ric Flair, I think the best way to show love for him and respect for him is to kinda just refrain from commenting on anything publicly and let the Flair family decide how and when they want to communicate what’s going on with Ric.”
We want to make this clear we are simply reporting on this because these are very wise words from Bischoff. We all love Ric Flair and hope he can come through this scary health situation. But in the meantime while his fans are patiently waiting to see what will happen next, it might be best to leave it to Flair’s family to inform us of any new developments.
But it’s still a good idea to pray for Ric Flair because he can still use all the positive vibes he can get while he fights to overcome his recent health crisis.
