ORIGINAL: WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair is doing better, according to an update from Hulk Hogan. Photographers caught up with him as he arrived at Newark Airport on Friday and he says that Flair’s health is improving. On Saturday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Flair had an external pacemaker put in to help his heart and that has helped because his heart is beating normally. He is still on kidney dialysis and he is still dealing with an infection. Also, doctors have not been able to give him antibiotics due to his weakened condition. Flair was admitted last Friday because of extreme pain in his bowel. He did not have a heart attack but he does have heart issues.
Obviously, we wish him the best and we hope for a full recovery. We will continue to pass along updates as they become available.
