    Ric Flair update.

    For those who don't have 10 minutes, key notes:

    His organs basically shut down from the decades of heavy drinking. He had been having dizzy patches likely down to his heart not functioning properly. Had he left it any longer before going in, he'd be dead now.

    He was put in a medically induced coma and eventually they needed to give him surgery. They told his family there was only a 20% chance he would survive it.

    They mention Ric did go to rehab a year or two back as had been rumoured. Wendy insisted. He also specifically says he did not consider himself an alcoholic but now knows he was. He can no longer drink, as you'd have assumed.

    Wendy says three people were there for her at every turn and got her through it - her daughter, Steve Austin whom she'd ring every day and cry down the phone to and he would listen and settle her down, & Hulk Hogan who checked in every day and flew in to visit several times.

    Ric plans on doing motivational speaking once he gets out of the wheelchair.

    Must admit the Austin thing surprised me. It's heartwarming to me to know that when one of the biggest superstars in the history of the business is on his knees, the other two rallied around for him. Credit both Hogan & Austin.
