WWE legend Ric Flair sparked concerns about his health after making a TV appearance on Monday night. The 74-year-old appeared on ESPN to kick off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ wild card game against the Philadelphia Eagles, standing on the ship at the end of the field with Michelle Beisner-Buck and Robert Griffin III.
Flair, also known as the Nature Boy, sported a custom Bucs jersey topped with a classy suit draped in the team’s colors and iced-out chains. Despite the excitement surrounding his appearance, some fans expressed worry over Flair’s health, with one fan noting that Flair’s face appeared red and another mentioning that his clothing accentuated it.
Flair’s in-ring career began in 1972 and spanned multiple decades. The six-time WWE champion initially retired from pro wrestling in 2008 after losing to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. Despite dealing with adversity, particularly with his health, Flair is attempting to return to the limelight, having signed with AEW in 2023.
