UPDATE 2: TMZ spoke with a representative for the Massachusetts State Police who said that Ric Flair injured his head, not his hand. According to witnesses at the airport, Flair was bleeding “a significant amount of blood” from his forehead.

Police did not say how Flair sustained the injury.

UPDATE: Ric Flairā€™s manager Melinda Morris Zanoni gave the following statement to TMZā€¦

“Ric has been working every day around the clock, including internationally, for a month straight and has injuries on his hand that were being looked into this morning. While it is true Ric Flair and his buddies have been keeping airport bars in business since the 70s that was not the case at all in Boston. I just hung up with Ric, he is already on the flight and all is good.”

ORIGINAL: There have been a lot of rumors involving an incident with Ric Flair this morning at the Logan International Airport in Boston. It started with rumors that Flair was drunk, detained and not allowed on his flight this morning. According to TMZ, Flair was in Lucky’s Lounge in the airport before his flight, and some witnesses claimed Flair was ā€œacting like a drunk person.ā€ Another witness claimed Flair was loud and obnoxious, while another said that he was “having a tough time” and “shambling about.”

TMZ says that they spoke with Airport Police Sgt. Donlon, who says that Flair was not intoxicated. They did get a call to treat a man with a cut on his hand, which was Flair, who reportedly tripped over his luggage. Medical personnel treated Flair, determined that he was not drunk, and he was allowed to get on his flight.

Pwinsider.com reports that Flair was not arrested or detained, but that he was not allowed on his initial flight. They say he is still at the airport, waiting for a later flight home to Atlanta, GA.
