Depending on the source, the number of his world championships varies from 16 to 25, with Flair himself claiming to be a 21-time champion.

Whatever the total, it’s a dominating run.

What is Ric Flair Drip?

For his namesake brand, Flair teamed with Tyson 2.0, the cannabis empire launched by boxer Mike Tyson, as well as Verano, a cannabis conglomerate with a total market value of $1.9 billion, to bring the products to market.

Ric Flair Drip was launched in October in Arizona, Nevada and Illinois, before expanding this spring into Florida and other states. Drip, by the way, is a slang expression that denotes fashionability and swagger.

Products include flower, pre-rolls, vape cartridges, blunts and edibles (called WOOOOO Chews), offered in sativa, indica or hybrid.

How about more details on what's available?

Here are some descriptions from the folks at MÜV:

Ric Flair Drip Flower: Indica, sativa, and hybrid strains are now available in mixes that combine two strains paired to create a new way to medicate. (“Like watching two matches with Ric Flair at once!” according to MÜV.)

Jack Attack Sativa: A blend of Minty Haze and Sour Jack strains that “creates an unforgettable flavor and aroma that's perfect for daytime use,” according to MÜV.

Double Leg Shakedown Hybrid: A blend of Cherry Punch and Minty Shake strains blend that's “sure to have you talkin' as smoothly as Ric Flair all while relaxing you enough to take on the world just like the champ himself,” according to MÜV.

Ric Flair Drip Vape Carts: “Take that ‘Woooo’ feeling everywhere you go” with this a 1-gram botanical cartridge with options that are classification-based.

Wait, isn't 'Ric Flair Drip' a song, too?

Yes, “Ric Flair Drip” was a hit for rapper Offset and record producer Metro Boomin on “Without Warning,” their 2017 studio album collaboration with rapper 21 Savage.

A music video featuring Ric Flair helped power the song’s success. It also got a boost from its featured spot on the "WWE 2K19" video game soundtrack, including additional exposure on the "Ric Flair Collector's Edition" version of the game. The song has garnered more than 1 billion streams on Spotify.

I can't make it to Port Orange. Can I still meet Ric Flair?

The Nature Boy also will be hosting a meet-and-greet from 2:30-4 p.m. Friday, April 14, at the MÜV Dispensary at 11247 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando. For more details on Rick Flair Drip, visit muvfl.com.
