Ric Flair’s management team: We need prayers for our living legend
After a day with almost no information on Ric Flair, who was hospitalized yesterday with a heart-related issue, Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment (Flair’s management team) posted what came across as an ominous message on Sunday night.
She tweeted: “Are U a Fan/Friend of Ric Flair? If so, we need prayers and positive energy 4 our Living Legend as he is dealing with some tough medical issues.”
Legacy Talent and Entertainment also posted on Facebook: “Did you start watching wrestling because of Ric Flair? Does he entertain you every time you see him? Ever use any of his sayings? Do you have a great Ric Flair story? Do you ‘WOOOOO!’ every time he’s mentioned? Are you a Fan? Friend? If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above, we need your prayers, positive energy, and well wishes for our Living Legend as he is dealing with some tough medical issues. Thank you!”
Flair, 68, was in the intensive care unit in an unnamed hospital. His reps were previously downplaying the hospital visit but also saying no information could be released.
