Last week, the world was shocked when pro wrestling legend Ric Flair was suddenly hospitalized. Early reports claimed that Flair was admitted to the hospital for heart-related issues, while later reports said that Flair was undergoing surgery to remove a colon blockage, which had led to organ issues such as kidney failure. It was eventually clarified that the surgery was to remove part of Flair's bowel.
This weekend, Flair's management has released a happy update – Flair is awake, recovering, and even, apparently, cutting promos on nurses:
Out of respect 4 family priv there has not been an official @RicFlairNatrBoy update-has led 2 false info. Don't believe everything u read.

He did cut a promo on a nurse yesterday so anyone that knows @RicFlairNatrBoy knows that's a very, very good sign 😉

On behalf of @RicFlairNatrBoy THANK YOU 4 the outpouring of prayers & well wishes (altho the offers 4 a kidney seemed a little excessive :)
