Ric Flair gives an update on his wife Wendy Barlow’s health after COVID-19 confirmation

WWE legend Ric Flair recently appeared on Booker T’s ‘Hall of Fame’ podcast, where he gave an update on his wife’s health. His wife, Wendy Barlow, tested positive for COVID-19 a couple of weeks ago, and since then the two have been taking various measures to isolate themselves. Ric Flair himself tested negative for COVID-19 said that his wife is ‘doing great, but not 100%’. Ric Flair stated that things were “brutal” for some time, but thankfully, Wendy Barlow seems to be doing better.

“I’d take her to the hospital twice for IV one, just to make sure she was okay. Of course, they released her both times after keeping her for a couple of hours, but you can’t be careful enough. In the world I live in, you just double-check and cross-examine everybody. It’s brutal,” Ric Flair added.
