Ric Flair has a message for fans worried about his health after his fall last week.
The WWE Hall of Famer responded on X on Friday to people asking how he is still alive.
“The question I keep getting asked is- how am I still alive? After 5,000 matches with 2,400 of them being one hour draws and 5 90 minute bouts. Round trip to Japan, 24 hours, only to wrestle three one hour draws. Airplane crash, 31 days in the ICU and 14 days on life support. 35 days in rehab. And you are worried about me falling down and hitting my eye? WTF,” Flair wrote.

Flair fell outside a restaurant in Tampa on October 23 and was taken to a hospital. His daughter, Charlotte Flair, said that night that he was “going to be ok.”
On Wednesday, Flair said he needs one more surgery and possibly a skin graft, “and then I will be good to go,” and thanked the USF Health Eye Institute.
We wish Ric Flair a full recovery.
