On Saturday morning, Flair was admitted to the hospital for what his rep, Melinda Morris Zanoni, said on social media involved "some tough medical issues.” After his condition worsened, Flair was placed in a medically induced coma, reported TMZ. It's being said now that Flair's family is currently by his side, though no official prognosis has been announced as everyone is still waiting to meet with the doctors.Ric Flair made his name in promotions and territories all over the world, holding top championships in most. With a trademark "Wooooo!" and a "stylin' and profilin'" glitzy gimmick centered around being a "limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun," Flair's immeasurable gifts in the ring and on the mic helped pave the way for many mega-stars that would follow him, like The Rock and Triple H.
