As noted, The Nature Boy was forced to pull out of "The Roast of Ric Flair" scheduled for Friday night in Las Vegas during Starrcast II weekend, after he underwent heart surgery on Monday. Flair's doctors won't allow him to travel to Vegas for the weekend events. Starrcast has announced that the roast will take place at a later date.

Flair's wife Wendy Barlow noted on Monday that the operation was a success and that Flair was in the recovery room. TMZ reported that doctors were optimistic Flair will make a full recovery.

Flair is scheduled to make his first post-surgery public appearance on Friday, May 31 for SCWPro at their "To Be The Man" event in East Moline, Illinois.
