Ric Flair responds to people that question how he is still alive

Earlier this month, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was taken to a Florida hospital after falling outside a restaurant in Tampa, hours after telling fans he could not fly due to a blood clot. Amid rumors about his health, Flair posted the following message to Twitter/X…

“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 also wrote, “One more surgery and one more possible skin graft, and then I will be good to go! Thank you USF Health Eye Institute!”
