He did cut a promo on a nurse yesterday so anyone that knows @RicFlairNatrBoy knows that's a very, very good sign 😉

The legendary wrestler’s been hospitalized in critical condition since early this week after undergoing surgery and suffering from multiple organ problems. … but it sounds like he’s making strides toward recovery.
He’s definitely not out of the woods yet, though — his rep Melinda says there are still “complications” … so Ric needs his rest.
Melinda thanked fans for the outpouring of prayers and well wishes and says Flair’s a survivor — Hulk Hogan would agree — and that he’s even been able to cut a promo on a nurse.
A very, very good sign indeed. Get well soon, Nature Boy!!!
