As previously reported,  Ric Flair’s recent health issues and condition were a topic of discussion backstage within both WWE and TNA. As you know, Flair underwent surgery a couple of weeks ago that caused him to be pulled from an appearance on the NXT Takeover: Fatal Four-Way show. According to sources, Flair was in a hospital in Gwinnett County, Georgia from September 8th until the 18th.

A source notes that Flair was initially admitted for surgery due to a hernia. However, he began suffering from significant intestinal problems due to his prescribed medications and the surgery and thus wasn’t able to keep any food down. Flair was getting nutrients via an IV bag and underwent intestinal surgery on September 16th. Flair has dropped a lot of weight and because of the surgeries, he won’t be able to do any training for about another month.

A source adds that Flair recovered nicely after intestinal surgery and was released from the hospital two days ahead of schedule.

Ric Flair recently spoke about the Undertaker's streak ending and more. Here are the highlights…

On Charlotte Getting Into Wrestling: "I didn't encourage her," he says. "She just went to WrestleMania with me. She was making a real nice living running a personal training center…(WWE's) John Laurinaitis saw her and said, 'Why aren't you wrestling?'"

On Internet Fans: "I don't pay any attention to that," he says. "The internet thinks they're smarter than we are, but they're not. If you read the internet, it's like watching Fox News…you don't know what to believe. They all want to predict what they think will happen, but nobody ever knows for sure," he adds. "As an example, 42 years in the business and I never thought Daniel Bryan would win that match (at April's WrestleMania XXX). I didn't think he was going to beat Hunter, and I'm attuned to it!"

On The Undertaker's Streak Ending: "I wanted to see (the streak) go on, but I understand," Flair said. "Times change, it is what it is. You saw how quiet the fans got. They weren't ready for that, so obviously they didn't foresee that."
