fraserbee Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Apart from his plane crash has Ric Flair had any sort of long-term injuries? None that I can think of. I do remember he did something to his ankle doing a sledge from the top rope to fhe floor in about 1997 and had to have some time off, but it wasn't really that serious.I also know he is suffering with his back just now, which I think is just long-term wear and tear and the lingering effects from the plane crash.Anyone remember differently?
shinyahashimoto Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 He went for surgery in summer of 2000 in WCW I think. Can't remember what for - only returned in Jan/Feb of 2001 tho.
Larryboy Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 It was a shoulder thing, I think. Torn Rotator cuff?
CurryAngel Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I heard he messed his ear up or something during a match against the Ultimate Warrior back in like 91. Cant remember where i heard this so i hope its true and not just a figment of my imagination!!
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 5, 2005 Paid Members Posted April 5, 2005 Yeah, it was an inner-ear infection which screwed up his balance.Funniest thing was that it was never mentioned on WWF TV, but Sky referred to it during a promo for The Main Event.
old blue eyes Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Flair also took time off to have a Michael Douglas face lift/nose job in the late 90's. His absence (and any facial differences) were explained by Flair having his head crushed by a steel cage door during a War Games match after Curt Hennig had turned on the Horsemen.

JPC Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 His first Mania..... IC TITLE 4-WAY: Road Dogg (DX) defeated Ken Shamrock and Val Venis and Goldust to retain.. Goldust came to the ring with the Blue Meanie and Ryan Shamrock (Ken Shamrock's sister).. Roaddog pinned Goldust, after interference by Meanie & Ryan backfired..
CurryAngel Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 He was at WM15 in a fatal 4 way for the IC belt with Road Dogg, Goldust and Shamrock

Nothing to do with the spinebusters and powerbombs Batista's been giving him?

Wasn't he on Heat in that tag match rather than the PPV itself?
