Will Smith-Chris Rock slap at Oscars was not real, says wrestling icon Ric Flair

Ric Flair, an American retired professional wrestler, thinks Will Smith-Chris Rock slap at Oscars was staged.

“I didn’t think it was real,” Flair said of the Smith slap. That’s the term in Flair’s world of pro wrestling, when the violence is scripted.

“I didn’t think it was real,” Flair said of the Smith slap.

Flair and Mike Tyson spoke to The Post to promote Tyson 2.0, the cannabis business they’re partnering in, and covered a wide range of other topics.

Tyson chimed in: “If Ric says it’s a fake, then it’s a fake.”

“I can speak for myself, and I’m pretty sure I’m speaking for Mike: If I didn’t like a remark, for any reason whatsoever, that somebody said about my wife, I would be punching them — not slapping them,” Flair said.

Mike Tyson and Ric Flair, who are longtime friends and partners in the cannabis business also discussed daughter Charlotte Flair’s success in WWE, Hulk Hogan’s proclamation that Flair was the greatest wrestler of all-time and the Oscars’ moment that will live in infamy.
