Update On Ric Flair Airport Situation

Source: WrestlingINC

TMZ is reporting that WWE Hall of Famer and current manager Ric Flair had to be treated for a cut on his hand at a Boston airport today. But the report didn’t end there, as some say that after visiting “Lucky’s Lounge,” his behavior became erratic.

Witnesses said Flair seemed inebriated and was acting “like a drunk person.” One witness said “he was having a tough time” and “shambling about.”

Airport Police Sgt. Donlon told TMZ that Flair was NOT intoxicated, and he was allowed to take his flight. Ric Flair’s agent provided the following statement to TMZ:

“Ric has been working every day around the clock, including internationally, for a month straight and has injuries on his hand that were being looked into this morning.””While it is true Ric Flair and his buddies have been keeping airport bars in business since the 70s that was not the case at all in Boston. I just hung up with Ric, he is already on the flight and all is good.”

Chyna’s Brain To Be Donated For CTE Research

The brain of former WWE star Chyna, who was found dead last week in her Southern California home, will be donated for research involving the effects of concussions, her manager said Tuesday.

Chyna, whose real name is Joan Marie Laurer, was found dead Wednesday in her Redondo Beach apartment. Police were responding to a 911 call from a friend who said the former 46-year-old World Wrestling Entertainment performer failed to answer her phone for a few days.

Anthony Anzaldo, her manager, told NBC4 Los Angeles Tuesday that her brain will be donated for research involving chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury also known as CTE. Anzaldo said the brain has been given to Dr. Bennet Ifeakandu Omalu, a groundbreaking researcher who first discovered and published findings on CTE and was the subject of the 2015 film “Concussion,” starring Will Smith.

“We want to donate her brain,” Anzaldo told The New York Daily News. “We want to know what made Chyna tick.”

CTE has been diagnosed in the brains of several former NFL players. The progressive degenerative disease of the brain, which can only be diagnosed after death, has been found in athletes who have a history of repeated blows to the head and concussions.

The result of her autopsy have not been released.

Attorneys contacted him long before Chyna’s death to gauge interest in joining a brain injury lawsuit against the WWE, Analdo told the Daily News. They decided not to join the lawsuit, he said.

Chyna — Drinking Heavily Before Death, Over Bad Relationship With WWE

Source: Pro Wrestling Sheet

The documentary director who was with Chyna in the final months before she died says the ex-wrestler was incredibly broken up about not getting an invite this year to attend WWE‘s Hall of Fame ceremony — and it’s one of the reasons she began to drink heavily before passing away.

Erik Angra tells Pro Wrestling Sheet Joanie Laurer had been distressed over not being invited to the big event to see old friends, and it’s partly why she backed out of flying to Dallas.

For those who missed it, Chyna was scheduled for a meet and greet at WrestleCon but cancelled at the last minute and promoters said it was because she wouldn’t get on the plane.

Sources say Laurer expected the documentary she was filming to shine a light on her Hall of Fame situation, and was hoping it would lead to an invite to get the conversation started with company officials. When that didn’t happen, she began to drink more than usual.

Angra says Chyna was also feeling emotional over attempts to reconnect with her family, and the full story will be seen in their documentary — which they still plan to release in the wake of her passing.

Reports say Chyna’s death is being  investigated as a possible overdose and Angra tells us those working on the film “saw the signs were there” in regards to her addictions.

Official word on her cause of death is pending further investigation.
