It wasn’t that long ago that the world braced for the worst when it came to Ric Flair. In mid-August, the two-time WWE Hall Of Famer was admitted to the ICU of a local hospital, put into a medically induced coma, and eventually had surgery on his colon.
Thankfully, he recovered, and is in the process of rebooting his Nature Boy persona as only he can. Step one? Fire his management. Step two? Claim he’s sold 10,000 tickets to Space Mountain. (Oldest ride, longest line indeed.)
Now, it appears Naitch is ready to strut out in the public eye once more: His first public appearance since his health scare will be November 18 as a part of the Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in Atlanta.

Also appearing the weekend of November 18-19 at HVFF are Arrow star and noted WWE fan Stephen Amell as well as his cousin, The Flash‘s Robbie Amell, and many other actors who presumably have no relation to the Amell family such as Ming-Na Wen of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stefan Kapicic (aka Colossus from Deadpool). A one-day ticket to the day Flair appears on will run you $55, and if you want a photo op with the ringleader of the Four Horsemen, that’s gonna set you back an additional $60.
You can get more information on HVFF Atlanta here. And if you can’t make it to Atlanta to hang with the Nature Boy, remember that the Ric Flair 30 For 30 premieres on ESPN on November 7.
