Ric Flair spoke for the first time about his recent health scare which he thought almost ended his life.

“The Nature Boy” spoke to People TV from the rehab center where he’s currently recovering from surgery. He said that his fiancée Wendy Barlow took him to the hospital as he was having bad stomach aches. Flair was rushed to the ICU after his organs started shutting down where he had a portion of his bowel removed and a pacemaker inserted during his surgery.

The former 16-time world champion also said that his daughter Charlotte Flair was told before his surgery that he wouldn’t make it and had no clue that his health was in such trouble. Flair also admitted during that he’s an alcoholic, but will try to never drink again saying that “I never want to go through this again”.

The 68-year old is now beginning physical therapy where he is using a stationary bike and needs to use a walker as he’s not fully able to walk by himself yet.
