Ric Flair has spent the past few weeks dealing with a nasty fall, hospital treatment and the prospect of another surgery, but apparently he’s already ready to get back in front of a crowd. The Nature Boy now has his first public appearance since the accident officially lined up.
NCG Wrestling announced on Instagram that Flair will appear at Harpos in Detroit on November 21. The promotion is advertising a two-hour meet-and-greet with the WWE Hall of Famer before its show begins later that night.

The appearance is notable considering what Flair has been dealing with lately. He suffered a fall in Florida on October 23 that left him with injuries around his face and eye and resulted in an overnight stay at Tampa General Hospital. Flair later revealed that his treatment wasn’t finished either. On October 28, he shared a photo from the USF Health Eye Institute and said another operation and possibly a skin graft were still ahead.
None of that stopped Flair from firing back at people questioning his health. Two days later, the 77-year-old pointed toward everything he’s already survived during his life and wrestling career — including thousands of matches, a plane crash and a previous stay on life support.
“The question I keep getting asked is — how am I still alive? After 5,000 matches with 2,400 of them being one-hour draws and five 90-minute bouts. Round trip to Japan, 24 hours, only to wrestle three one-hour draws. Airplane crash, 31 days in the ICU and 14 days on life support. 35 days in rehab. And you are worried about me falling down and hitting my eye? WTF.”
Flair has also been dealing with a blood clot in his leg that previously prevented him from flying, so the Detroit announcement is certainly an interesting development. Either way, The Nature Boy clearly isn’t planning on disappearing while he recovers. Less than a month after the scary fall sent him to the hospital, Flair is already advertised to be back meeting fans and signing autographs in Detroit.
