WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan is getting into the CBD business with fellow sports entertainment legend ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair and heavyweight boxing icon ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson and his Tyson 2.0 offer CBD and THC users a variety of products that are becoming increasingly popular in a world where doctor-prescribed opioids continue to present unnecessary dangers to their users. With products like his Mike Bites ear-shaped gummies, Tyson 2.0 has become an immensely popular product for the former boxing world champion.
Last year, Mike Tyson teamed up with the general consensus greatest professional wrestler of all time, Ric Flair, to introduce a brand new line of products from the stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ and dealin’ son of a gun. The product line, appropriately named Ric Flair Drip, offers CBD and THC consumers a variety of pre-rolls, flower, vapes, and edibles.
Now the bud-smoking duo is officially a trio as pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is joining the team. Speaking with TMZ Sports, ‘Hollywood’ confirmed that he is getting into the weed business with Tyson and Flair.
“Mike [Tyson] and Ric Flair, we’ll all getting together. We’re the Three Musketeers now,” Hogan said.
Hulk Hogan Reveals the Shocking Amount of Surgeries He Has Undergone in the Last Decade
Detailing his own personal experience with pain after more than two dozen surgeries in the span of a decade, Hulk Hogan says that CBD products helped him do what prescriptions and over-the-counter painkillers could never do; get him back to being healthy.
“Across the board, it’s a fitness and wellness journey. In the last 10 years, I’ve had 28 surgeries. It’s just been insane and from everything I’ve been through, the pain, the inflammation, and the prescriptions that doctors would give you, that whole ‘Training, prayers, and eating your vitamins’ kind of got rattled a little bit so there was a way to slow-walk things back to get things back to center. To get to healthy again,” Hogan continued.
“When I saw what Ric and Mike were doing, I instantly wanted to get on the team because I use CBD for energy, for sleep. For fitness. It just made sense. It’s a logical extension of where I already was, but this is the safe way to approach things instead of that wildcard way from doctors and prescription stuff. It just didn’t make sense anymore.”
Hogan continued to discuss his struggles with pain after more than 30 years inside the squared circle and how CBD products have him feeling better than he has in decades.
“It definitely helped me because as I said, the slow walk back from the prescription drugs ended with me downing the Tylenols, the Advils, and the Aleves, and finally even that wasn’t working for me. As I moved away from that and moved into the CBD world, it really changed the game. For my sleep to the inflammation. The way my wrists and my joints hurt. Across the board, it helped me with my health.”
When Hogan was asked about the potential use of CBD and THC products for active wrestlers, he expressed his belief that there is definitely a place for them.
“I always joke about I didn’t get the memo that this stuff was ‘fake’ and after the 10 back surgery and two knees and two hips, it’s just a situation of you do get hurt out there all the time—especially the first 20 years,” he said.
“The brain fog, and after you’ve been knocked out a few times—it just kind of gave me clarity and straightened things up for me,” Hogan added. “You know, I feel better than I’ve ever felt at 69 years old. I feel like I’m 25 again.”
