WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is the most decorated athlete in the history of sports entertainment. Throughout his illustrious career, the Nature Boy always gave his all to the industry. As a result, Flair has also endured a lot of health issues and physical pain. Recently, Adam Wilks, a close friend of his, detailed the legend’s struggles, which lasted for 30 years.

While speaking with EssentiallySports, Wilks revealed that Ric Flair was on Xanax for 30 years to help him sleep. Moreover, the former’s expertise in cannabis usage helped his friend. Adam Wilks is the CEO of Mike Tyson’s cannabis brand, which operates in 12 different countries.

“Ric is Ric Flair. He has embodied that character for 30+ years, since the late 80s. That is Ric. And where he’s going to be in authenticity, I mean, I don’t know if you know Ric’s story but I mean, he was on Xanax to help him sleep for over 30 years,” Wilks said about the HOF’er.

By good fortune, the CEO of Carma Holdco “changed his life” by providing an alternative to Xanax. According to Adam Wilks, their company developed ‘Wooooo Chew,’ a medicine that is natural and plant-based. Therefore, Ric Flair is seemingly in a much better place due to help from his business partner.

“Want To Congratulate My Friend @EdgeRatedR On His New Venture In Life! You’ll Go Down In History As One Of The Greatest Of All Times. You And Jeff Hardy Have Done Stuff That Will Never Be Duplicated,” the Nature Boy wrote on his X account. Furthermore, he praised Edge for carrying him through a ladder match while he was 55.

“Nothing But Respect! You Are A Class Act! Always Remember That! WOOOOO!” Ric Flair further added. The pair squared off in early 2006 in a TLC bout, which turned out to be a classic television battle. Needless to say, it is hard to argue against Flair’s point that Edge belongs among the all-time greats in WWE.
