While it’s unknown what exactly Ric Flair was hospitalized for, everyone who knew the “Nature Boy” knew that he was in rather bad shape. A few weeks ago, friends and family were asking for prayers and while everyone was hopeful for the best, people were unfortunately preparing for the worst.

But for Ric Flair, the 16-time World Champion has faced even longer odds and beaten them, so the grim reaper was no match as Flair kicked out at two to keep Space Mountain in operation. While family members like his daughter Charlotte Flair stressed that her father has a long road to recovery, the “Dirtiest Player in the Game” cut a promo on his Twitter account to thank his fans for their support and let them know that he is back and hasn’t skipped a beat.

Before anyone asks, because I had this question immediately after I saw this video. Yes, the “i ain’t dead yet mother***kers” shirt is on sale in Ric Flair’s online store.

After Jerry “The King” Lawler said Flair had about a 20% chance to live and his fiancee saying that she “witnessed a miracle” in seeing him come through, the fact that Ric is still with us is some great news we can all appreciate. And once Flair makes a full recovery, we can all try and celebrate like the “Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, wheelin dealin’, limosuine riding, jet flying son of a gun.” WOOOOOOOOOOOO
