CHARLOTTE (CBSMiami) – Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair has been hospitalized and admitted to an intensive care unit.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer went into the hospital over the weekend for heart-related issues and initially downplayed the situation.
That changed on Monday after a representative for Flair made a public plea for support.
Late Sunday night Melinda Morris Zanoni, who is the CEO of Legacy Talent LLC, tweeted out an update on Flair's status.

Flair was in south Florida as recently as a few weeks ago.
