It’s not every day that retired athletes start new business ventures. But when they do, it’s always with the best in the industry. Back in October 2021, Mike Tyson launched his cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0. Following its success, former iconic WWE superstars like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan joined the lineup with their own line of products. 

The Nature Boy joined Tyson 2.0 with his line of Ric Flair Drip cannabis products, specializing in pre-rolls and edibles. Later, even Hulk Hogan joined the Tyson 2.0 brand, selling various cannabis accessories. Together, this enterprise has turned out to become a massive $160 million business empire. However, Tyson 2.0 is not the only major player in the market. Earlier, Snoop Dogg also had his own brand of cannabis products. Unfortunately, Snoop’s brand, Leafs By Snoop, ceased operations a while ago. In a recent exclusive interview with Essentiallysports, the CEO of Tyson 2.0 expressed his sadness about the failure of Snoop’s brand. Adam Wilks spoke on ES FanCast with our Host Noah Lack.
