We all keep hearing how ‘health’ is the true ‘wealth’. Probably this is the reason why even a little threat to our health can scare us badly. Moreover, we often tend to feel accomplished when we are at the best of our health. WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair made a similar confession recently. He took to Twitter and flexed about his healthy workout routine while also being thankful for his current health status.
The tweet was mostly about Flair’s current health, indicating that he is in great shape currently. However, he also mentioned a scary moment that he went through a few years ago.

Now the 74-year-old is as fit as ever. But a few years ago, when he was just about to touch his 70s, he faced severe health issues. Nature Boy was rushed to the hospital in 2017. This happened because of his excessive alcohol consumption. The indulgence led to Flair’s organs getting shut down, and ultimately he had to rush to the hospital. There, the doctors informed his family about his kidney and heart issues.
Doctors also had to put Flair in a medically induced coma. The Man fought back for his health and made a good amount of recovery in 2019. However, the former world champion had to face another issue where doctors found that his heart has not completely gotten better. So, surgery had to be performed.
After a few years, it appears that Flair has developed into much better health. The Hall of Famer had his final wrestling match in July 2022. Since then, Flair has reportedly been also keeping his health in check by working out.
Fans react to Ric Flair’s improved health
In his latest tweet, Flair shared an image of himself when he was in a medically induced coma. He also wrote in the caption, “As I finish my workout at [Hard Nocks South], I reflect on how far I have come since the hospital! Never give up!” Fans couldn’t help but add love to his brilliant recovery and started commenting on the post.
While some fans wished him the best of health, others appreciated his hard work. Some even showed their concern regarding the health scare and wrote emotional messages for him.

Struck by lightning, crashed in an airplane, and survived this with only a 15% chance. Can't kill the Nature Boy.
