plane ride from hell

[johnsmagic]

Does anyone know the complete story behind the flight back from london after the 2002 Insurrextion ? Heard a few little storys but would enjoy hearing more about it if any one can help

[Chuck Jones]

Alcohol was flowing freely on the WWE jet. Everyone got drunk, and a number of people made asses of themselves. Some flight attendants sued for harassment:

Ric Flair walking the aisles naked and groping a flight attendant.
Goldust seranading his ex-wife Terri over the intercom.
Michael Hayes getting his head shaved by someone.
Brock Lesnar and Curt Hennig getting into an amateur style shoot fight on the plane...while it was in the air. A scary moment happened when they hit the emergency exit door.

Vince was embarassed and fired Hennig and Hall (Hall was drunk the entire trip and actually fell asleep on the apron in his match).

This is one of my favorite industry stories ever.

[Kane86]

I never even heard of this. But by god tell me more!

[Hanso Amore]

I cant wait for a book with this story

[Zeeboe]

Just a few interesting tidbits I've read over the years:

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Debra were actually asleep the whole time while all the partying was going on. But I think it's because Stone Cold and Debra were pretty far away from it all.

Arn Anderson egged Ric Flair on while Flair was getting crazy.

The late, great Eddie Guerrero, who in the past had a drinking problem, was well behaved through out the entire plane ride, and did not partake in the partying.

The Undertaker and Paul Heyman baited Brock Lesnar into fighting the late, great, Curt Hennig. I believe the story was that both The Undertaker, and Heyman pretty much told Lesnar if he didn't stand up for himself against Curt Hennig, he'd never live it down, and that now was the time to prove he was a man who could hang with the big boys in the WWE.

Curt Hennig also use to have a rep for bullying, ribbing and physically abusing younger wrestlers much like Hardcore Holly, and Bradshaw do. A lot of the boys said Hennig harassing Lesnar was just "Curt being Curt", and that they didn't understand why Curt was fired when he had been doing that kind of stuff for years in both the WWE and WCW.

Before the fight, Hennig and Scott Hall had been spraying shaving cream into the hair of Big Show and others.

Hennig had been warned in the past by the powers that be to knock the pranks off.

Triple H tried to break up the fight between Lesnar and Hennig.

Goldust grabbed one of the flight attendents breasts, and asked if they were real, and asked her to give him a blowjob.

Besides serenading Terri, Goldust also called her a cheating whore.

Scott Hall licked a girl's face and said her thing was next.

Michael Hayes was so drunk he sucker punched Bradshaw on the forehad out of nowhere, and reopened a cut Bradsaw had. Bradshaw hit him back, and knocked Hayes out. When he was passed out, some of the boys stripped him naked, and X-Pac cut his mullet off, and the boys were passing it back and fourth to each other. Hayes was irate when he awoke and discovered that his hair had been cut, and was even hotter the next evening when he found his ponytail pinned to the wall in the locker room at Raw.

The whole "plane ride from hell" incident is what inspired The Honky Tonk Man to bring back his website after it was closed down for a while.

sounds like fun

[Kane86]

No just really fucking board on an airplane where they can do whatever they want.

[IC Champion]

LOL - great stuff!

p.s._____pretty retarded that Undertaker and Heyman 'suggested' to Lesnar that he take up Hennig's challenge. How old are these guys? 10? :|

Guys like Taker always struck me as immature, just from hearing stories like this.

[Team Sheep]

Aye but also how immature is Lesnar to feel like he has to do what the big kids tell him to 'be a part of the gang'. :roll:

[Savio]

He was new and scared

[Heyman]

I agree with Team Sheep.

However - it's just pathetic when guys like Taker, Hennig, JBL, Hardcore Holly, etc. (i.e. the veterans/leaders of the lockerroom) encourage/engage in this kind of shit.

[The Fonz]

And they said wrestling wasn't a carny sport.

[Hanso Amore]

Come on, you acted shocked. Like the WWE has ever been home of fully functional adult males.

[BigDaddyCool]

Hanso has a point. I mean do you really expect much better from a bunch of guys that go out in their underwear and roll around for a living to be well behaved on planes?

[Kane86]

Look they were on a plane where the could do whatever they want. That is what they did.

[Zeeboe]

I always admired Hennig for having the guts to take on a beast like Lesnar. I recall back when this story first hit the web, everyone in the chatrooms and message boards thought Hennig was absolutely crazy.

[Shisen Kopf]

too bad Jake Roberts wasn't on board, then there would have been snakes on a plane! that was terrible!

[KayfabeMan]

I'M TIRED OF THESE MUTHAFUCKING WRESTLERS ON THIS MUTHAFUCKING PLANE!!!!

[Sixx]

Lesnar should be thankful Hennig was the one bullying him instead of Bradshaw.

Gettin` your ass kicked >>>>>> Gettin` rubbed with baby oil while being tied up under shower

[Sovereigntywillpr]

everytime i read about this I laugh my arse off... and this time there were new details, haha....

[GD]

In which match did Hall fell asleep?

[Sovereigntywillpr]

Wasn't it a european house show?
