WWE legend Ric Flair was rushed to hospital this morning after suffering a "very serious" medical emergency, reports have confirmed.
Flair was reportedly in the Atlanta area at the time. The 70-year-old was immediately taken to the emergency room for treatment.
The specifics of the medical emergency are still unclear.

His condition was critical and it is believed he was moments from death, having been given a 20 per cent chance of survival by doctors.
Fortunately, Flair recovered and just a year later he married his long term girlfriend Wendy Barlow.
Last year, he revealed he had been cleared to get back into the ring, telling The Steve Austin Show:
I had difficulty doing anything when I still had that bag on my side that was attached to my intestines because it sat right at my waistline and it was hard, but as soon as I got that off, I was back doing 500 free squats.
To me, I just need a goal. Does that make sense? But I finally got the weight back on and then I found myself putting more weight back on than I wanted, so I have to be careful with that, but I’ve been working out. I can do anything, benchpress.
I have to be careful after surgery, the second surgery, for hernia issues. But I literally took it easy. I didn’t do anything. And now I’m full speed ahead.
The guys have cleared me to do anything. I’ve actually been cleared to get knocked down in the ring. I didn’t know if they were going to use me in some capacity and you know the clearances you have to have with the health policy, which is so adamant.
