The WWE legend reportedly suffered facial injuries outside a restaurant
Summary
– Ric Flair was reportedly transported to hospital after a fall in Tampa
– Initial reports describe facial injuries and a possible concussion
– He had separately disclosed a blood clot that restricted his travel
Ric Flair was reportedly taken to the hospital by ambulance after falling outside a restaurant in Tampa, Florida. The 77-year-old WWE Hall of Famer sustained facial injuries during the incident.
Initial reporting describes cuts to his head and around his eye. A possible concussion was also mentioned, although that should not be treated as a confirmed diagnosis.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene before Flair was transported for medical attention. Footage accompanying the report shows responders gathered near the street outside the restaurant.
The incident followed an earlier announcement from Flair about a blood clot in his leg. He explained that the condition had forced him to cancel a scheduled appearance at Washington State Horror Con in Seattle.
Flair said his doctors had limited his travel to approximately three or four hours. He also discussed plans for a procedure involving the affected vein, with the hope of traveling again afterward.
The timing places the hospitalization shortly after that disclosure, but no connection between the blood clot and the fall has been established. The cause of the fall and the full extent of his injuries remain unclear from the initial reporting.
