Though Ric Flair remains in critical condition at an Atlanta-based hospital as he battles “multiple organ problems” following an emergency operation, a friend close to the wrestling legend tells PEOPLE fans should “not count him out” yet.
Cameron “Cam” Fordham, Flair’s marketing manager and co-Founder of Get Engaged Media, tells PEOPLE the 68-year-old wrestler “is a fighter.”
Fordham says, “Ric has shown that his whole life. Sixteen championship titles was not a walk in the park. Guy has been struck by lighting and survived a plane crash, so let’s not count him out one second.”
“Looking forward to hearing many more WOOOOO’s!” Fordham adds, referencing Flair’s signature “Nature Boy” catchphrase.
