"Ric Flair's first match in a year scheduled for today in the main event for All Japan Pro Wrestling didn't happen as before the show Flair announced he was unable to wrestle due to doctor's orders. Flair apologised at the onset of the show and announced his son Reid would take his place.
Flair was taken to the emergency room before the show due to a sudden health issue and the doctor there told him there was no way he could wrestle. Those backstage said his left leg was badly swollen."
f4wonline.com update: It's now been revealed that Ric Flair's health scare was due to suffering a blood clot in his left leg while in Japan. Despite being advised to check into the hospital for observation, Flair appeared on the AJPW show anyway and is flying back to the U.S. immediately, so he doesn't miss a series of autograph signings in Las Vegas next week.
