Ric Flair is recovering in a Florida hospital after falling outside a Tampa restaurant on Friday, 23 October. The fall came hours after the 77-year-old retired wrestler cancelled a Seattle appearance because of a blood clot in his leg; his daughter Charlotte said he would be all right.

Reports said Flair was bleeding and appeared to have cuts to his head and eye, and photos showed medical workers helping him into an ambulance. He said doctors had limited his travel to three or four hours and planned a procedure on the affected vein. Flair retired from active wrestling in 2022 after a career spanning 50 years and at least 16 championships.
