It’s nice to have a primary source for Flair’s situation. For the most part, the media has been kept in the dark and have had to operate off of nothing more than tea leaves. Regardless, we now know Flair remains in critical condition, thanks to Ms. Barlow and her update.
Charlotte Flair has also helped the wrestling community by letting us in on her and her family’s situation.
“Hi guys, On behalf of my family and I, we want to THANK everyone for the prayers, texts, calls, and support. Our Dad is a FIGHTER and your continued thoughts and prayers MEAN THE WORLD to us.We will update everyone when we have more information.”
The wrestling community sent instantaneous love and support to the ailing 16x Champion:
