Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair was reportedly hospitalized in Florida after an incident outside a Tampa bar. According to reports, Flair fell, sustaining a cut to his head and eye. Emergency services confirmed responding to a fall outside the establishment and transporting an adult male to a local hospital.
The reported fall occurred on October 24, 2026, mere hours after Flair revealed he would be unable to attend a scheduled appearance in Seattle. He cited medical advice due to a blood clot in his leg, explaining that his doctors had limited his travel.
Flair, aged 77, is slated for surgery on the affected vein, with doctors expecting this to clear him for more travel afterward. The wrestling icon has a history of health and alcohol-related issues, and his "Last Match" took place in 2022. He has had multiple championship reigns and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice.
