CHARLOTTE (CBSMiami) – Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair has been hospitalized and admitted to an intensive care unit.

The two-time WWE Hall of Famer went into the hospital over the weekend  for heart-related issues and initially downplayed the situation.

That changed on Monday after a representative for Flair made a public plea for support.

Late Sunday night Melinda Morris Zanoni, who is the CEO of Legacy Talent LLC, tweeted out an update on Flair's status.

The 68-year-old has been one of the biggest names in wrestling for decades, known for his captivating, over-the-top personality.

Flair was in south Florida as recently as a few weeks ago.

The Miami Marlins held a special Wrestling Night at Marlins Park and Flair was the headlining attraction.
