In 2017, Ric Flair suffered a health scare. His past drinking habits finally caught up to him, resulting in his intestines getting ruptured. The doctors had to put him in a medically induced coma for his treatment. In 2019, he was again met with another health scare. He had to be rushed to hospital as he was having heart and breathing troubles.
Fortunately, the 74-year-old is doing well now. Just a while back, he also posted some healthy pictures of him working out with a pacemaker. That being said, Hulk Hogan recently showed his astonishment at Flair standing strong despite two life-threatening incidents a few years ago.

‘The Hulkster’ recently appeared as a special guest on the Full Send podcast. During the podcast, he revealed he is surprised that Flair is in the best of his health despite having severe health complications in the past. He says when Flair told him he is doing okay now, it amazed him.
“I talked to him [Ric Flair]. He said, he’s fine, he said nothing hurts. I was like, how the hell is that possible? How can nothing hurt? He hasn’t had all the surgeries. He broke his back in the plane crash and that was pretty much devastating. It took him a while to regroup from that,” he said.
Hogan is a victim of several injuries himself. His decades of service to the pro wrestling industry took a toll on his body as well.
Therefore, he has an idea of the amount of pain and suffering ‘The Nature Boy’ had to undergo during his treatments.
Hogan is also doing a lot better these days
For the better part of his life, Hogan battled with his ailments and countless surgeries that came along with it. Not so long ago, on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, he spoke about the physical problems he is facing recently. He stated he can’t move his body around the way he should.

However, he is still doing great as compared to the past. He recently discovered that his body responds very well to cannabis. Ever since he started using CBD and THC, his pain has reduced drastically. He got so impressed with the effect the drugs had on him that he planned to start his own health and wellness brand consisting of CBD products.
