Ric Flair seems to be doing well after his recent $1.8 million surgery after the grim initial reports. The Nature Boy released a video in which he thanked his friends, family, and fans for their support. 

"I want to first of all apologize for not getting back to y'all sooner. Certainly appreciate all the support," Flair began. "Thank you to my beautiful family, to all my friends, to all the doctors, nurses, everybody that brought me back again. It's a miracle again. It's a $1.8 million tune-up on the Nature Boy!"

The WWE Hall of Famer then went on to list some of his friends that supported him, including Triple H, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Offset. Flair then explained that he still has goals he wants to achieve and won't give up on life. 

"I'm not going to act like my age," Flair continued. "I'm up, I'm well, and I'm just starting to tell my story."

Flair also noted that the procedure was done to implant a pacemaker. Despite his recent health scares, Flair is still pretty confident that he'll be around for a while.

"I feel great," he said. "The prognosis is I could live to be 95."
