Ric Flair remained in critical condition on Tuesday as details emerged about the nature of his surgery. https://twitter.com/MsCharlotteWWE/status/897427419866558464 The wrestling legend was placed into a medically induced coma early Monday before undergoing colon surgery to remove a blockage that was the “catalyst” for an array of different health issues — including kidney failure, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The 68-year-old is said to be on kidney dialysis, as a result. “The surgery was considered a success, but as noted there are more issues involved,” Meltzer wrote online Tuesday. “A key is being able to get the kidneys back functioning.” WWE superstars have reportedly been made aware of Flair’s condition, with many posting well-wishes on social media Monday and Tuesday. Old friends and former in-ring rivals also took to Twitter and other platforms to show their support for the 16-time world champion. “Ric Flair only prayers, love and positive thoughts,” tweeted Hulk Hogan. “Now it’s time to kick out because you can and you will always be ‘The Man’ my brother.” https://twitter.com/HulkHogan/status/897445154851868672 Mick Foley wrote, “Thinking of @RicFlairNatrBoy as he recovers. I believe Ric has far more styling and profiling left to do in his lifetime.” https://twitter.com/RealMickFoley/status/897297846629785600 https://twitter.com/MDMTedDiBiase/status/897472150000500736 https://twitter.com/DarrenConnolly_/status/897412314525298688 https://twitter.com/RealPaigeWWE/status/897227531673382914 https://twitter.com/FalconsDQ/status/897232626553159680 The well-wishes and prayers keep coming in.... https://twitter.com/dariusrucker/status/897490836476309504 https://twitter.com/WWE/status/897253020190167040 https://twitter.com/WWENetwork/status/897295330487672833 Current WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler penned a touching tribute to Flair for Sports Illustrated, calling him a “mentor” of his. https://twitter.com/SInow/status/897454088853520384 “I was lucky to be in the ring with Ric for the first time 12 years ago and I was just as lucky to be in a room with him a few weeks ago,” wrote Ziggler, adding that Flair is “everything that embodies sports entertainment.” “He looks the part, he struts in a room, he steals the show and has gone toe-to-toe with the greatest of all time,” Ziggler said. “A lot of people are successful in this business because of a catchphrase, or athletic ability or charisma or wrestling, Ric Flair is the personification of all of those things…He is and always will be, The Stylin’, profilin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, kiss-stealin’, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun.” More on NEXT page... https://twitter.com/SamoaJoe/status/897138806444486656 https://twitter.com/JakeSnakeDDT/status/897663815327809536 https://twitter.com/mikethemiz/status/897223029310316545 https://twitter.com/JerryLawler/status/897196213040283648 https://www.instagram.com/p/BXyQN2kApn1/?taggedricflair Wrestling fans have also been honoring Flair — including a talented Brooklyn artist, featured on BuzzFeed, who created a tribute art piece to the former Four Horsemen. “I created this piece for the MAN @ricflairnatureboy,” creator SonofaSaint wrote on Facebook and Instagram early Tuesday. “Sir I wish you a speedy recovery!!
