Ric Flair Fighting for His Life After Decades of Alcohol Abuse: Health Scare Tamed 'Nature Boy’
Posted Sep 26, 2017
Wrestling legend Ric Flair may have once commanded the ring – but after the cameras turned off, things “just got out of control.” Decades of “social” drinking finally caught up with the 16-time pro wrestling world champion this year, landing him in the hospital and near death last month. “I crashed in an airplane and broke my back, I’ve been hit by lightning,” Flair tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue.
