Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Gives NBA Fans a Tough Pill to Swallow

When Vince McMahon purchased WWE from his father, he was adamant about making the company a global sensation. McMahon brought many celebrities from other fields to WWE for this purpose. Celebrities like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, etc have made their appearance in the company.

The celebrities who saw the business closely then also went to defend the art of wrestling and appreciate the wrestlers. One of those celebrities is The Iron Mike Tyson.

Recently, on his YouTube podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson had The Nature Boy as the guest. He shared his opinion regarding wrestlers’ problems after Flair first talked about some of the great wrestlers who are alive and his medical history.

Tyson said, “I am just really happy that you still live. Well, yeah. What do you say contemporary then they sit in a wheelchair this year?”

Speaking on that matter, Flair gave his take. “There’s only about three of us left. From the boats of funks and me, Hulk and he DiBiase. We just lost Scott Hall. Terry still lives in. There is only three of the traveling World Champions left. It’s a sensitive business but and Hulk, of course, I see all the time and speak with on a regular basis because I had two hip replacements, two knee replacements ten back operations. It’s choreography, you don’t always land where you’re supposed to land.”

Tyson replied to Flair’s question saying, “Wrestling started off very dangerous, very dangerous. Nobody knows each other. Wrestlers get hurt more times than basketball (players). But y’all get confident you are like football players. You’re constantly getting hurt every night.”

Iron Mike has twice been a part of professional wrestling in his career. He has seen what goes into making a perfect match and so he respects the business very much. This statement was a harsh reality for the NBA players and all the basketball fans.
