Ric Flair thought he’d died after getting high with Mike Tyson.
The Nature Boy is no stranger to a wild night out having spent his entire wrestling career partying around the world to the point of self-destruction. However, he’s claimed that one memorable night with Mike Tyson pushed him to his limit.
Flair and Tyson recently became partners in the cannabis business, so naturally, the pair had to celebrate. Speaking to Theo Von on This Past Weekend, Flair said that he got so high during the adventure he thought he’d died, before thinking he was in a coma.
“I got so high with Mike [Mike Tyson] one night in the Hamptons that I went into a cannabis coma. I actually thought I died. They brought my back to my room, and I laid there and I wasn’t aware of anything. I kept asking them to touch me, like you do when you think you’ve been hurt. People were squeezing my hand.
I would be talking to them, and they wouldn’t talk back to me. I was on a delayed process. I said to myself, ‘Did I die? Have I just died? I feel like I did when I was in my coma, but I can think, and I don’t think I could think in my coma.’ That’s the way I was talking to myself. All of a sudden, at three in the morning, I sat up in a blur and went, ‘I’m alive. I’m back.’ I called someone on the phone, ‘is this really you?’ That’s how screwed up I got,”
Do Ric Flair And Mike Tyson Work Together?
Although the pair might look like something of an unlikely partnership, Ric Flair and Mike Tyson teamed together in 2022 as the 16-time World Champion entered the cannabis industry. Tyson’s ‘Tyson 2.0’ cannabis company acquired a majority stake in Ric Flair’s ‘Ric Flair Drip Inc.’
