- WWE. WWE Money in the Bank 2025: Date, time and match card for wrestling event
- WWE. Tom Brady, Micah Parsons, and other superstars will take on fans in challenges that could win them a million dollars
Ric Flair, the flamboyant WWE superstar famously dubbed "The Nature Boy," is in a tough spot again. On June 6, the 76-year-old took to Instagram to share a post from his friend and talent manager, Anthony Maurizio. The post revealed that Flair had been diagnosed with skin cancer for the second time in three years. This news is especially difficult for a man who's no stranger to life's battles, both in and out of the ring. From surviving a plane crash to emerging from a coma, Flair's life has been extraordinary. As he prepares for treatment next week, let's reflect on his incredible legacy and hope for his recovery.
The announcement wasn't just a clinical update; it carried emotional weight. Maurizio's post painted a picture of Flair wrestling with denial and the stress of biopsies and tests. For someone who spent decades captivating audiences with his charisma and toughness, this latest health scare feels like just another opponent he's determined to pin down. Flair confirmed the diagnosis himself in a chat with People, saying, "This is the second time in three years I've had to deal with this. I'm gearing up for treatment soon." It's a sobering moment for a legend who has always seemed larger than life.
A Career That Defined Wrestling
Flair's name is synonymous with professional wrestling. A two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Flair first earned the honor in 2008 for his solo career, and again in 2012 as part of the iconic Four Horsemen faction. With his bleached hair, flashy robes, and signature "Woo!" catchphrase, Flair dominated the ring for decades, solidifying his place among the all-time greats.
However, his journey hasn't been without its bruises. In 2017, he ended up in the hospital with excruciating stomach pain, which he itted was a result of years of hard living. Doctors told him that he was on the verge of kidney failure and heart trouble. "I've survived a lot," Flair told People at the time, "but that was a different kind of fight."
If there's one thing Ric Flair knows, it's how to persevere. He's dodged death more times than most, breaking his back in a plane crash in 1975, getting zapped by lightning, and pulling through a coma that doctors weren't sure he'd survive.
Outside the ring, Flair is a die-hard fan of the Indianapolis Colts, a team that has recently been in the headlines following the death of its owner, Jim Irsay. His loyalty to the Colts mirrors the ion he brought to wrestling, a connection that has kept him tied to sports even as he faces personal challenges.
