Ric Flair claims to be feeling good again after a medical emergency, but admits in a new interview that he’s recently undergone four procedures related to his heart.

Flair opened up about his health this week on SiriusXM’s Busted Open and talked in-depth about the multiple procedures.

The first was to look for blockage and Ric says none was found. “The second time they put me to sleep and they tried to shock my heart,” he explained. “What was happening was it was going into afib,” which basically means he had an irregular heartbeat.

The third time Ric went to the hospital for an ablation. According to Google, a cardiac ablation is “a procedure to scar or destroy tissue in your heart that’s allowing incorrect electrical signals to cause an abnormal heart rhythm. Diagnostic catheters are threaded through blood vessels to your heart where they are used to map your heart’s electrical signals.”

“I was great for three days that time, but it didn’t work,” the 70-year-old stated.

Flair then detailed not being able to breathe in the middle of the night weeks later and how it got to the point where he couldn’t walk ten steps.  Because of this, he went to the emergency room and learned he had fluid on his heart as a result of anesthesia from the three other surgeries.

“I had what’s called congestive heart failure,” he added.

Doctors also found a blood clot in his leg that broke off and went to his lungs, which is why the surgery was put off for a few days.

Luckily, Ric says he’s feeling much better now and plans to get back to work after he’s rested.

Ric Flair’s former agent says she’s filed a defamation lawsuit against “The Nature Boy” over claims he made about her in a recent video.

Legacy Talent and Entertainment, LLC and Melinda Zanoni released a statement saying:

Today we have taken the first step and filed a Civil Lawsuit against Richard M. Fliehr a/k/a as Ric Flair and certain unnamed (for now) defendants for defamation per se and look forward to proving the falsity of every wrongful allegation contained in his video that was posted on YouTube on June 3, 2019. Ric Flair having taken down the video is not enough.

We will vigorously use the court system to protect our good names and reputations, and obtain damages due to Ric Flair’s defamatory comments contained in the video. We intend to amend the lawsuit to include all involved parties and hold all involved accountable.

We completely stand behind our client’s well known reputation for truthfulness, professionalism, honor, and integrity.

As we previously reported … Ric claimed Zanoni had embezzled money from him and accused her of sending a threatening phone call to his wife, among other things.

“20 years friendship, 10 years my agent. Not a text, you didn’t drive down to the hospital. You just didn’t give a sh*t. And you assumed I was gonna die, like a lot of people did. And you just grabbed all the money you could run with,” he stated in the footage.

The video was removed from YouTube days later.
