More updates have come out about WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s condition, and we’re happy to say those reports are both encouraging and also extremely Ric Flair. Melinda Morris Zanoni, a rep from Legacy Talent and Entertainment, gave the good news via Twitter on her client’s current status:
Happy 2 report @RicFlairNatrBoy is awake, communicating & progressing..but there are complications so needs rest for the 1st time in 40 yrs

The Nature Boy was hospitalized in Atlanta earlier this week for what was initially described as “routine monitoring.” His fiancee, Wendy Barlow, brought him to the hospital with what she described as “severe abdominal pain.” It was then revealed that he had been placed in a medically-induced coma, and underwent surgery that left him in critical condition.
Thankfully, Zanoni has been keeping friends and fans updated, and though he isn’t out of the woods yet, Flair is apparently already on his way back to being that stylin’, profilin’ son of a gun we all know and love (though they probably made him take his Rolex off):
He did cut a promo on a nurse yesterday so anyone that knows @RicFlairNatrBoy knows that's a very, very good sign 😉

Of course you did, Ric. Of course you did.
WWE Superstar Charlotte was pulled from SummerSlam media appearances this weekend as she’s still with her father and family in Atlanta. As before, our thoughts are with Ric Flair and his family as he recovers, and we’ll keep you updated as more details become available.
