AceShowbiz - Wrestler Ric Flair has been hospitalised in Georgia after suffering a reported medical emergency.

The 70-year-old WWE legend is in a "very serious" condition, according to TMZ sources, but his representatives have yet to confirm what is wrong with the sportsman.

Flair had a major medical scare in 2017 when he was placed in a medically induced coma for 11 days after his intestine ruptured.

At one point he was in critical condition and on the verge of dying, but he pulled through.

Flair turned 70 in February.
