Wrestling legend Ric Flair is in critical condition and is suffering from multiple organ problems, according to a statement from his fiancée.

“I have been unable to talk on the phone without crying and just feel shocked over events,” Wendy Barlow wrote on Facebook in a post that was reported by TMZ Sports on Wednesday.

Representatives of the 68-year-old Flair revealed on Monday that he was placed into a medically induced coma and underwent surgery in Atlanta. Details of the procedure were not provided and plenty of rumours persisted in the following days.

Barlow addressed such speculation in her post, writing, “No he did not have Colon Surgery….It was another Surgery! I don’t know how the Media comes up with their stories.”
