On Ric Flair’s current health scare:

EB: I, like a lot of fans, and a lot of friends of Ric and his peers in the industry across the board, we are all concerned. For me, on a personal note, it’s just really hard to imagine Ric Flair in any kind of compromised position or situation physically. I just saw Ric and Wendy a couple months ago and we went out to dinner a couple nights in a row. We were all in Montreal at the same time and we had such a great time. Ric is always so full of life, he’s just so full of energy. I saw him at WrestleMania and I was able to spend some time with he and Wendy. Dolph Ziggler wrote a great tribute article for him for Sports Illustrated that I read yesterday and Dolph hit it right on the head: When Ric walks into a room he owns the room. He’s got such a commanding presence and in a great way. He’s just such a positive person and it’s hard for me to honestly imagine him as sick as he is right now. I try to keep positive thoughts and say a few prayers for him throughout the day because if anybody can pull out of a tough situation like this it’s Ric Flair.
