Ric Flair Talks About Having To Take A Physical For WWE, What Doctors Said

Despite over thirty years in the ring, Ric Flair says he feels fine and doesn't have any lingering injuries. Flair elaborated on the newest episode of his podcast, and described having to get a physical for the WWE.

"I don't have any health issues. Everybody else has hips and knees. I had to go to Pittsburgh for a physical because they wanted to do some in-ring stuff with me. I go there to see the heart specialist. My resting heart rate was 42, my blood pressure was 102/60," Flair said.

Flair said that the doctor asked to check him in, and that he thought the WWE had pulled the wool over his eyes in an effort to get him admitted into a hospital. Flair said that his heart was in such good shape that the doctors actually thought something was wrong with him.

"They tested me for four hours," Flair said. "The doctor said 'there's something wrong with you, has to be,' and I said 'yeah, it's called an hour Broadway every night, brother.' They cleared me. The guy looked at me and said that I was a medical miracle."

Flair's full podcast contains an interview with former WCW Champion Lex Luger and was a great listen. You can hear the full episode at this link.
