WWE legend Ric Flair issued a statement about his health and said he needed the prayers of the fans.
The Nature Boy is one of the biggest names in pro wrestling, but was recently in the midst of a controversy when he said that veteran commentator Jim Ross was seeking attention when Ross shared his colon cancer diagnosis.
Thankfully, that seems to be water under the bridge, as the AEW commentator later stated that he had no heat with Flair, who had gotten in touch with him after the news had broken. Ross also assured fans that there was no animosity between him and Ric Flair, and that both of them were on good terms with each other.
WWE Legend Ric Flair Says He Needs Prayers As He Is Scheduled For Surgery
Meanwhile, things took a cruel turn when the 16-time World Champion recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer for the second time.
In an update shared by the 76-year-old legend earlier this month, he said that he was “on the mend” and seemed to indicate that he was doing well in his fight against cancer.

However, today the Hall of Famer took to X/Twitter to share a disheartening update, saying “It’s all fragile,” and that he needed the prayers of the fans as he had a surgery coming up.
Surgery Coming Up. Keep Me In Your Prayers. It’s All Fragile.”
This is very disheartening news for all his fans who believed he was doing well after his previous update.
We at ITR Wrestling would like to wish Ric Flair a steady and safe recovery.
