    Hard pressed to find a guy who lived a fuller life than Flair. Good luck, Ric.

    I'm hearing his heart is failing due to alcoholic cardiomyopathy and he is in an induced coma. Not looking good. Damn.

    400 lb deadlift in his 60s. What a beast.

    I met Rowdy Piper many years ago as a teen when he was at an autograph signing (which I still have) for a new car dealership in Portland. He told my father and I a story about how they would be traveling on a plane across the country to their next gig, and Flair would go into the lavatory, strip completely naked, put on his wrestling robes, and then come back out and serve drinks to everyone on the plane.

    Not sure how much truth there is to that, but judging from what I've heard Kevin Nash talk about (and he himself can't be taken completely seriously...), the story seems pretty accurate.

    Flair is also a huge 9er fan, and spoke with the team just before the Superbowl in 2012.

    Get well soon big man. WHOOOO!

    Flair is out of surgery and resting. He is still in an induced comma and in a critical state.

    RF was the man back in the late 80s/early 90s with the 4 horsemen. As Chris Craig's sig shows, that fucker always seemed to end a match with "blood" all over his dome! What a champ, woooooooo!

    F4Online is reporting that Flair had colon surgery. It was a colon blockage that caused renal failure and combined with Alcoholic cardiomyopathy he's having a tough time. He's on dialysis as well.
