Ric Flair is one of the biggest stars in the history of pro wrestling. The former world champion has a complicated record of being a heel inside and outside of the ring, from being widely recognized as “The Dirtiest Player in the Game” for decades to the “Plane Ride From Hell” event. Even Flair, though, has openly condemned Maxwell Jacob Friedman’s conduct at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view.
During his Iron Man match against Bryan Danielson, MJF stole a drink from a spectator and hurled it in the face of a child before returning to ringside. When asked about it after the performance, the AEW Champion remarked the “kid looked thirsty.” Scorpio Sky and Wrestling Inc’s Ross W. Berman IV were among many who chimed in on this unwarranted and unjustified attack. Flair has also spoken out about the occurrence. Conrad Thompson asked his father-in-law about MJF’s actions on the “To Be The Man” podcast.
“It’s cheap heat,” Flair said. “You want to do something to get heat and get the people excited that won’t hurt anybody? You cut yourself so deep that when you swing your hair, you throw blood all over them. I used to do it all the time when I had long hair. Then they feel like they’re part of the action.”
While Flair appeared to be joking when he said that final piece, he made his position crystal apparently saying, “I’m totally against throwing anything on a kid.”

Flair established the cannabis brand in March of last year through Mike Tyson’s cannabis venture Tyson 2.0 and cannabis giant Verano. Ric Flair Drip is a cannabis strain that comes in flowers, prerolls, vape cartridges, and edibles. Flair credits cannabis with weaning him off pharmaceutical sleep aids such as Ambien and Xanax.
The Hall of Famer isn’t the first pro wrestler working in the legal cannabis sector; renowned THC-infused wrestler Rob Van Dam unveiled a new cannabis brand in September of last year, after previously being the face of a CBD brand. Flair resigned from wrestling in July 2022, but he is still interested in working as a manager, despite the fact that neither WWE nor AEW has offered him a role.
