The wife of Ric Flair confirmed the wrestling legend is set to undergo surgery after he was taken to an Atlanta area hospital.

Flair’s wife, Wendy Barlow, announced the 70-year-old will be having an operation Friday morning. She did not disclose what the procedure was for.

“Due to ongoing health complications, Ric was taken to the hospital and is expected to undergo a procedure tomorrow morning, after which he expects to fully recover,” Barlow said in a statement sent to PEOPLE.

Flair experienced a “very serious” medical emergency Thursday morning, according to TMZ Sports. The medical scare may be related to Flair’s recent heart issues, a source told the wrestling news website Pro Westling Sheet.

Flair, who wrestled for four decades during stints in WCW and WWE, has experienced a number of health issues in recent years, including an emergency in August 2017 when it was revealed he was in the early stages of kidney failure and on the verge of congestive heart failure — the result of years of alcohol abuse.

I'm sure the decades of steroid use did him no favors either.

Flair?? steroids noooo!!

I think it's more to do with decades of hard drinking, drugs, women and the 70', 80' wrestling culture..

steroids have use besides making you big and muscular. responsible steroid use is most likely the reason he was able to wrestle into his 50s (and longer). they're used for recovery as much as for aesthetics. bret hart credits taking steroids with prolonging his career. people forget he was already 40 years old at the top of his career.
