Flair revealed that he'd been hospitalized several times within the last two months, but that his condition at those times flew under the radar.
"What happened was, this is the fourth time I've been in [the hospital] in seven weeks," he said. "The other ones I was able to just lay low and go in for procedures. They finally figured out what type of pacemaker to put on me. Which I found out just exactly how important the operation of your heart is — you can't breathe if your heart's not working."
