Ric Flair On Smoking Marijuana With Mike Tyson: ‘I Thought I Died…’ As The Legendary Wrestler Reveals, He Likened Ordeal To Coma In 2017

Ric Flair has put himself in some pretty precarious situations in the ring, but the wrestling legend thought he was in danger when he smoked marijuana on one occasion.

Flair, who has a marijuana line under the boxer’s “Tyson 2.0” brand, said “I actually thought I was dying” during the ordeal — comparing it to the medically induced coma he was placed in in 2017.

“Suddenly… it finally got to three in the morning and I sat up a little blurry and said, ‘I’m back,'” the 74-year-old wrestler said on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend.” podcast.

“I called someone on the phone and said, ‘Is this really you?’ That’s how I screwed up.’
