Wrestling great Ric Flair was rushed to an Atlanta hospital on Thursday after suffering an undisclosed medical emergency, according to TMZ.

The 70-year-old WWE star is said to be in “very serious” condition.

Update – 6:30 p.m. ET: In a statement, Flair’s wife, Wendow Barlow, says: “Due to ongoing health complications, Ric was taken to the hospital and is expected to undergo a procedure tomorrow morning, after which he expects to fully recovery.”

Flair previously experienced a medical scare in 2017, when he nearly died after rupturing his intestine. He spent over a month in the hospital, including 11 days in a medically induced coma. Flair ultimately made a full recovery, and just last month made an appearance at WrestleMania 35.
