Ric Flair 30 For 30: 15 Things We Learned

2. Triple H Forced Him Into Rehab

Ric is then asked how he managed to enjoy life again following Reid's death, and he stated that he didn't, but that he "drank [himself] to death for a year. 10 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock at night. It's the only way I could get away from it."

It turns out that Triple H was the one who helped Flair seek the assistance he required with his substance issues. He said, "I was really worried about him at the time. I had to literally get on the phone with him and say, 'Shut the f*** up. You're gonna f***ing do what I'm telling you, or I'm gonna come down there and f***ing make you do what I'm telling you. Against his will, so to speak, I forced him to go get help."

Say what you will about Triple H, but the guy continues to prove he's worthy of more praise than most fans are willing to give him.
