WWE News: Ric Flair's Manager reports that he's awake and communicating

Ric Flair has been undergoing some serious health issues over the week. Caused by a blockage in his colon. Flair had been placed in a medically-induced coma until an operation could be performed. While we were able to report that the surgery was successful, there was still a long way to go for him,

Thankfully, we can report that he seems to be doing significantly better. In a tweet posted by his manager, Melinda Zanoni, has tweeted out that the Hall of Famer is awake and communicating...

Happy 2 report @RicFlairNatrBoy is awake, communicating & progressing..but there are complications so needs rest for the 1st time in 40 yrs

This is significantly better, but as Zanoni says, the 16-time world champion still needs a lot of rest and medical care before he;s back on his feet.

Flair has been in the hospital since last weekend, in what was at first thought to be a heart issue. Both Raw and Smackdown offered updates, and we expect to hear during tomorrow's SummerSlam broadcast. We here at Sportskeeda Wrestling offer our best wishes to the Nature Boy - glad to see you're awake, champ, and get on your feet soon!
