WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has revealed that he is dealing with a blood clot in his leg, a health issue that forced him to cancel an upcoming appearance. Flair shared the update himself on social media, apologizing directly to those affected by the cancellation.
In his statement, Flair apologized to his agent, Steve Solomon, as well as to Washington State Horror Con and Big Event NY, the organizers tied to the appearance he was scheduled to make. He also extended an apology to his fans who had been expecting to see him at the event.
Both Fightful and NoDQ reported on Flair’s announcement, with each outlet confirming the same core detail: the “Nature Boy” is currently managing a blood clot in his leg that has sidelined him from his commitment. Fightful’s report characterized the issue as a “blood cot,” while NoDQ’s coverage specifically referred to it as a blood clot, and the surrounding details of Flair’s apology align between the two reports.
Flair, one of the most decorated performers in professional wrestling history, has remained a visible presence on the convention and appearance circuit in the years following his in-ring career, regularly meeting fans at horror conventions, wrestling expos, and other fan-facing events. His sudden cancellation underscores how health setbacks can abruptly alter even well-established appearance schedules for legends of his stature.
No further details have been provided by Flair regarding the severity of the blood clot, any treatment he may be undergoing, or a timeline for recovery. The sources confirm only the cancellation itself and the direct apologies Flair issued to his agent, the convention organizers, and his fanbase. As of this report, there has been no additional update from Flair or his representatives regarding his condition or future appearance commitments.
Given Flair’s stature as one of the most recognizable figures in wrestling history, any update on his health is likely to draw continued attention from fans and media. We Are Wrestling will continue to monitor for further statements from Flair regarding his recovery and any rescheduled appearances.
