    But WWE legend Flair once got so high with Tyson that he thought he was going to dieCredit: INSTAGRAM@RICNATUREBOY
    WWE legend Flair was a recent guest on the show at Tyson Ranch in California and, as many guests do, puffed the magic dragon with Iron Mike.
    But in a separate smoking session, the 74-year-old – who has his own strain with Tyson – ended up feeling worse for wear after one too many puffs.
    During an appearance on comedian Theo Von’s podcast, The Nature Boy said: “I actually thought I died.”
    Flair got so high off the reefer that he called one of his pals in a paranoid state.

    He recalled: “All of a sudden… it finally hit three o’clock in the morning and I kinda sat up in a blur and went, ‘I’m back.’
    “I called someone on the phone and said, ‘Is this really you?’ That’s how screwed up I got.”
    Flair likened the effects of his smoking with Tyson to that of his 2017 coma, which he fell into after suffering complications during bowel surgery.
    He recalled telling himself: “I can think. And I don’t think I could think when I was in my coma.”

    Flair got himself in such a state because he tried to go puff for puff with Tyson – who began selling marijuana back in 2016.
    When asked how he got so high, Flair recalled: “I just said, ‘I’m gonna smoke as much as you right now brother.'”
    Boxing icon Tyson recently expanded his multi-million-pound marijuana empire in March by opening a coffee shop in Amsterdam.
    He said after the grand opening: “It’s a dream come true to open our first coffee shop in Amsterdam.
    “The Coffeeshop Tyson 2.0 will immerse fans in a full-on experience where they can enjoy my favourite Tyson 2.0 products the way I do.
    “I’ve tried and tested all of them, and I can’t wait to share some of my most beloved and undefeated goods with Europe.” More

    Logan Paul went from the WWE to brother Jake’s fight
    He had a police escort
    Logan settled months of feuding with Ricochet at the Detroit pay-per-view event.
    And he had to use every advantage in the book to get the job done – legal or not.
    Logan, 28, pulled out a brass knuckle from his pants before landing a killer right hand for the pin.
    It was a shot younger brother Jake, 26, would have been proud of and quite possibly hoping to replicate.

    The social media sensation-turned prizefighter returned to the ring against MMA veteran Nate Diaz, 38.
    So big brother Logan had a request accepted by the WWE to open the PPV so that he could rush over to Dallas.
    He took a private jet to ensure he can cheer on Jake from ringside at the American Airlines Center.
    But the journey is 1,186 miles and usually takes just under three hours – so Logan called on the help of the cops.

    He said on Instagram: “WWE W, victory. Police escort to Dallas now to watch Jake Paul beat up Nate Diaz.”
    Logan filmed himself getting onto his private jet, still wearing his winning WWE gear.
    And by the time he arrived backstage with Jake, he still had his trademark yellow and black attire on.
    He wore it throughout the evening – but it was worth the mad dash after seeing Jake defeat Diaz on points.

    Scott Brown spotted with Celtic-daft WWE star as Hoops legend watches treble triumph in Florida

    SCOTT BROWN captained Celtic to their unprecedented quadruple treble success.But the Hoops icon took-in this weekend’s latest treble triumph in very different surroundings!
    Brown watched the game alongside WWE star Joe CoffeyCredit: INSTAGRAM
    They watched on at the Orlando CSC’s Florida baseCredit: INSTAGRAM
    Celtic beat Inverness CT 3-1 at Hampden to wrap-up their 8th domestic clean sweep – a new record.
    Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada gave the Hoops a 2-0 lead before Daniel MacKay struck late on to make things a little bit more interesting.
    But Jota then found the net in the opening minute of added time to put the result beyond doubt.
    Callum McGregor was the man to hoist the famous old trophy aloft, a task that had become so familiar to Brown during his silverware-laden spell at Parkhead.

    It’s now been two years since Brown, 37, left Celtic after 14 years.
    Brown is now manager of EFL League One outfit Fleetwood Town, who finished their campaign in early May.
    Broony, therefore, is now on his summer holidays ahead of returning to pre-season in preparation for the new season which starts on the first weekend of August.
    And he’s been spotted in Florida – proving that he certainly hasn’t left Celtic behind him!
    Most read in Football
    Brown made sure to watch the Scottish Cup Final, heading to the Lucky Leprechaun Irish pub in Orlando to take in the big match.
    It’s home to the Orlando CSC, and he was spotted alongside another famous face.
    Glasgow-born wrestling star Joe Coffey made his name in Scottish promotion Insane Championship Wrestling before being snapped-up by WWE in 2018.
    Having competed in the organisation’s UK division he’s now made his name in the USA as big star on WWE’s NXT brand, which is based out of Orlando.
    And Hoops-daft Coffey linked-up with Brown to watch the Hoops triumph.
    Brown posted a photo of himself alongside the wrestling star.
    The ex-Parkhead skipper emerged as a contender for the Celtic manager’s job with Ange Postecoglou’s future in doubt.
    Postecoglou is the odds-on favourite to become the new Tottenham boss and the Premier League giants are expected to seek talks early this coming week.
    The 57-year old wouldn’t be drawn on his future after the Hampden triumph, but hinted at a goodbye with an emotional message to the Hoops supporters.
    He said: “I have appreciated the support I’ve had from day one. 
    “Because of the way I came into the football club – without beating about the bush – I was ‘a joke’. 
    “A lot of people made fun of me – but the supporters for their own reasons put their collective arm around me and said ‘no he’s one of ours’. 
    “It was up to me to repay that faith. The reason they felt so close to this team and so close to me was because while others may have mocked, they stood behind me. 

    “I think they deserve a lot of credit for what has happened because it would have been easy for our supporters to have been just as sceptical given the reaction to my appointment.”
