Prayers up for WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair

Ric Flair is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He is now going through a difficult time.

Ric Flair was one of the biggest wrestling stars in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, he won several World Titles and was known for being a showman. Flair continued to wrestle for several decades, with his last match taking place in 2022.

During his legendary career, Flair has achieved everything there is to do in the wrestling business. In recent years, he's made a few appearances for All Elite Wrestling. The WWE Hall of Famer most recently showed up on the May 14 episode of Collision to pay tribute to Steve McMichael.

During an exclusive interview with People, the 76-year-old legend revealed that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer for the second time in three years, and he will begin treatment next week. The WWE legend initially denied reports that he had cancer on social media to keep his diagnosis private.

"It’s the second time in three years that I’ve been dealing with skin cancer," Flair says. "I will be undergoing treatment next week." [H/T People]

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
