Ric Flair says Charlotte Flair is “crushing” her recovery.
Charlotte Flair suffered a knee injury on the December 8 episode of WWE SmackDown. Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. WWE later announced that she would be out of action for nine months. She had knee surgery earlier in January.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Ric Flair commented on Charlotte Flair’s recovery.
“Charlotte’s had surgery, it’s been a week and a half,” Ric Flair said. “So I was speaking with Dr. Dugan, he’s been there 30 years. You know what he said to me? He said since he’s been at the Andrews Clinic, 30 years, right, Ashley is one of the top three athletes, not wrestlers, they’ve ever done surgery on. Think about that. We’re talking Bo Jackson, I could go down the list of people, the Tommy Johns.
“He said, ‘We consider her one of the top three athletes, not wrestlers, to ever come through the doors.’ Her recovery, she’s crushing it. She’s not gonna come back faster than they will ever recommend, but it’s unbelievable. But I thought that might be one of the biggest compliments anybody could ever get. It’s unfortunate that it had to come from a doctor at a hospital, but I keep telling people, man, she’s a different kind of cat.”
Charlotte Flair recently posted footage in which she could be seen rehabbing her knee two weeks after her surgery.
WrestleZone will continue to provide more information about Charlotte Flair’s recovery as it becomes available.
