A Hall of Fame career and thousands of leg drops later, Hulk Hogan feels better than he has in over four decades — even at 69 years old.

The professional wrestling legend has endured 28 surgeries over the years, but thanks to his use of CBD and THC, the “Hulkster,” who made saying your prayers and eating your vitamins famous, is feeling young once again.

“I always joke about I didn’t get the memo that this stuff was ‘fake’ and after the 10 back surgeries and two knees and two hips, it’s just a situation of you do get hurt out there all the time,” Hogan recently told TMZ Sports. “… I feel better than I’ve ever felt at 69 years old, I feel like I’m 25 again… It definitely helped me because as I said the slow walk back from the prescription drugs ended with me downing the Tylenol and the Advil and Aleve’s and finally even that wasn’t working for me.

“As I moved away from that and got into the CBD world, it really changed the game from my sleep to the inflammation, the way my wrists and my joints hurt, across the board, it helped me with my health.”

Hulk Hogan felt inspired by Ric Flair, Mike Tyson

Inspired by fellow professional wrestling legend Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip” and boxing great Mike Tyson’s “Tyson 2.0,” Hogan is launching his own brand of CBD and THC. Carma HoldCo., which helped launch both Flair and Tyson’s brands, is assisting Hogan in starting up his own company. In addition to CBD and THC, Carma president Chad Bronstein said that Hogan’s line of products will include “functional mushrooms.”

“When I saw what Ric and Mike were doing, I instantly wanted to get on the team because you use CBD for energy, for sleep, for fitness — it just made sense,” Hogan said. “It’s a logical extension of where I already was but this is the safe way to approach things instead of that wild card way of doctor’s prescription stuff. It just didn’t make sense anymore.”
