Ric Flair Says His Health Issues Are “Minor” Compared to Buff Bagwell’s Leg Amputation

Ric Flair has claimed that after seeing Buff Bagwell’s leg amputation, he feels that all the health problems he used to complain about seem small in comparison.

The Nature Boy took to Twitter and revealed his thoughts following Buff Bagwell’s leg amputation. He said the news made his own health problems seem minor in comparison, especially since Bagwell has always been so active. Flair called him a good friend and a great wrestler, and wished him a fast and strong recovery.

“After Seeing What Happened With My Good Friend Buff Bagwell’s Leg Amputation, It Makes Every Health Issue I Have Complained About Minor In Comparison To The Loss Of A Limb For Such An Active Young Man. A Good Friend And Great Talent In The Business! Get Well Soon My Friend! Godspeed! 🙏🏻🙏🏻”

Buff Bagwell ultimately chose to amputate his leg following a 2020 car wreck that sent him spiraling and having to undergo several surgeries that didn’t really help his condition at all.

As for Ric Flair, he recently had to undergo surgery for skin cancer and then claimed he still had one more procedure left. Following this, he even pulled out of the ATL Comic Convention due to health issues, so it’s clear he isn’t fully recovered yet.

Some fans find out unusual that Ric Flair had to mention his own health issues instead of fully focusing on what Buff Bagwell went through. Regardless, Flair likely meant well with his messages and that’s what mattered to him in the end.
