WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has shared a photo of a severe cut on his forehead, revealing it was the reason he was forced to miss a scheduled appearance at the ATL Comic Convention this past weekend.
Ric Flair Reveals Nasty Forehead Injury
In a post on his Twitter account, Flair shared a photo showing a large, stitched-up gash above his left eye. He used the post to apologize to the convention and the fans who were expecting to see him, confirming the injury was the cause of his absence.
“.@ATL__CC, I’m Sorry I Missed You, But Now You Know Why! Moving Forward With @FitermanSports, It Won’t Happen Again!” Flair wrote in the caption.

Another Health Scare For ‘The Nature Boy’
The cause of the injury was not revealed, but it is the latest in a series of recent health issues for the wrestling legend. Flair has been very public about his health struggles, including a major scare in 2017 that saw him placed in a medically induced coma.
This latest injury reveal comes just one day after Flair shared the great news that he is officially cancer-free, following a recent battle with skin cancer. The two updates paint a picture of a wild week for the 76-year-old, who continues to be a major figure on the convention and memorabilia circuit.
