Ric Flair Rushed To Hospital... | TMZ

Ric Flair left his food and drink at a Florida restaurant, walked outside and collapsed, according to Harvey Levin's report for TMZ. The segment includes overhead footage of emergency personnel treating the wrestling star beside a stretcher on the sidewalk.

Levin reports that Flair hit his head and cut the area around his eye before being transported to a hospital. He also raises the possibility of a concussion, but does not provide a confirmed diagnosis.

The report separately refers to Flair's own online discussion of a blood clot in his leg earlier that morning. It does not establish that the clot caused the collapse, a distinction worth keeping clear amid the medical speculation in the comments.

The short report drew roughly 220,000 views in its first day, far beyond the usual audience for a TMZ Short. Alongside recovery wishes, viewers share memories of watching Flair wrestle as teenagers and attending his matches with family, connecting the hospital report to decades of following him in the ring.
