The WWE Superstar said he got too high with Tyson and began feeling bad.

Flair detailed this story with Theo Von during the "This Past Weekend" podcast.

He stated he attempted to match Tyson hit for hit, which backfired.

"I dreamt my daughter got married, and I went back and thought about stuff in wrestling," Flair said.

"It's funny. I got so high with Mike one night in the Hamptons that I went into what's called a cannabis coma." 

Flair disclosed when he got back to his hotel, he couldn't move and needed help.

"I said to myself ... 'Did I die? Have I just died?'" Flair said. 

"I feel like I did when I was in my coma."

"But I can think, and I don't think I could think when I was in my coma. That's the way I was talking to myself."

Flair spent 11 days in the hospital in a medically induced coma in 2017.

He said he started to feel better later in the night but was worried he had done something wrong.

"All I could think of was what I possibly could have done wrong. I just hadn't done enough. But I practiced every time I knew I'm gonna see Mike."

"I'm about a three or four-hit guy. I just said, 'I'm gonna smoke as much as you right now, brother."

Flair has a marijuana line under Tyson 2.0 brand. The pair have been in business since August 2022.
