Ric Flair just set the record straight after a whirlwind of online speculation about his healthand hes making it crystal clear hes not going anywhere.
Fans started panicking after recent meet-and-greet photos surfaced showing the WWE Hall of Famer with visible facial injuries. One fan tweeted, F* man, every time you see Flair hes got these random gashes on his forehead or black eyes. He needs to calm down.* That comment sparked a flurry of concern, prompting Conrad ThompsonFlairs son-in-law and podcast partnerto claim, He had a skin cancer removed but go on.
That mightve seemed like the end of ituntil Flair himself jumped in to clear things up.
Im Sorry People Have Been Misled By Social Media, But I Dont Have Cancer Of Any Kind, Flair tweeted hours later. Thank You For Your Concerns And For Everyone Reaching Out. I Am Absolutely Fine, And Unfortunately, Youll Have To Live And Put Up With Me For Another 25 Years!
This update puts a definitive end to the cancer rumor and shows that The Nature Boy isnt slowing down anytime soon. At 76, Flair has survived multiple near-death experiences, including organ failure in 2017 and hospitalization in 2019. Yet he continues to attend fan events and remain active in the wrestling worldmuch to the amazement of fans and doctors alike.
Flair hasnt shared what caused the visible marks on his face, but based on his tweet, hes not losing sleep over itand doesnt want anyone else to, either.
