Ric Flair has always been considered The Man in the professional wrestling industry.

Last year, Ric Flair had a series of serious health complications, including at one point being released into a medically induced coma. However, never one to stay down, it seems like Ric Flair is doing better than ever.

Ric has since become an ambassador for hip-hop culture, almost a mascot for it, really. Now, it seems like the Nature Boy might actually be able to get physical again. Ric was recently quoted on the Steve Austin Show as saying that he’s been medically cleared to start taking falls (bumps) again, so World Championship number 17 might actually be on the way.

“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.”
