Major Update: Ric Flair Taken to Hospital At Raw

Ric Flair was backstage at Raw tonight and scheduled to appear on the show, however he was described as looking "not healthy" at the arena, and was taken to a local hospital in Philadelphia.

Flair has since left the PA hospital and is being transferred to a hospital closer to his home in Charlotte, NC.

Flair was sent to the hospital for complications stemming from a blood clot in his leg, which is the same reason why he didn't wrestle for All Japan back in January.

WWE doctors took a look at Flair's leg this afternoon and made the decision to pull him off the show and send him to the hospital where he was further examined and advised to return home to Charlotte for further evaluation.


UPDATE.....

Flair will be going to the hospital today for testing.

Ric was scheduled to be involved in the Cena/Rock main event segment last night on Raw, taking Booker T's spot at the guest panel table.

Another interesting point to note is that WWE apparently had further plans for Ric Flair originally as he was scheduled for three Raw appearances heading into WrestleMania 29. Flair was booked for last week's Raw in Pittsburgh, last night in Philly, and even next week's edition in Washington, DC.

There's been no reason given for his absence last week, and it hasn't been said yet whether or not he'll appear on next week's go-home edition.
