7. X-Pac Discusses THAT Plane Ride

The Plane Ride From Hell is perhaps the craziest of crazy wrestling travel stories - even if X-Pac has claimed to have endured worse commercial flights.

Hopped up on a legal precursor to GHB, the majority of those on board descended into madness. X-Pac for his part cut off Michael Hayes' trademark ponytail, to which the plane went wild. Hayes also managed to get knocked out by Bradshaw. The cliche is that bad news comes in threes, but Hayes escaped the third, which would have seen him lose more than his hair.

Michael Hayes wasn't the first, and won't be the last, to confuse Linda McMahon with an inanimate object, but he's probably the only man on the planet to have nearly given her the golden shower treatment. Mercifully for his employment prospects, he was whisked away before he could commit career suicide.

According to legend, Curt Henning and Brock Lesnar nearly sucked everybody on board out of the sky by play-grappling dangerously close to the emergency exit, with neither man willing to relent their competitiveness.

Apparently, on the flight before this one, Curt even had a similar takedown contest with Vince McMahon.
