Ric Flair Reportedly Taken to Tampa Hospital After Fall

Ric Flair was reportedly taken to a Tampa hospital after falling outside a restaurant on October 23, hours after announcing that a blood clot in his leg had forced him to cancel a scheduled appearance in the Seattle area. Tampa Fire Rescue confirmed it responded to a fall outside an establishment and transported an adult male to a local hospital. The department did not identify the patient. The identification of the man as Flair and descriptions of his injuries were reported by TMZ, based on its sources and photographs. That account said Flair fell outside the restaurant, cut his head and eye, and was taken away by ambulance. It raised the possibility that he suffered a concussion, but no medical diagnosis was reported. The circumstances of the fall and Flair’s condition after the reported hospital transfer have not been confirmed by a medical source. Flair’s daughter, Charlotte Flair, posted on X that her father was expected to be okay. She also shared a joke he reportedly made to a doctor, saying he had fallen because The Ultimate Warrior had dropped him on his head. Her post offered reassurance but did not provide a medical assessment or details about his injuries. Earlier...
