10 Stories That Prove Wrestling Is The Wildest Industry EVER
4. The Plane Ride From Hell
Wahey!
The Plane Ride from Hell!
All your favourite '90s wrestlers getting blitzed in a mile-high banter festival!
Not really. The Plane Ride from Hell's sheer, lurid fascination has been confused for entertainment for too long. It's certainly a wild tale, the likes of which a screenwriter might have pitched on a premise-first, plot-second basis: several booze-addled wrestlers take the travelling circus to the zoo in the skies!
In reality, these were troubled men deep into the grim twilight of their fading careers manifesting their addictions in one concentrated, heightened and lawless zone. Returning from a UK PPV, which was long considered a glorified f*ck-about holiday by the roster, the wrestlers accessed an open bar on a long, ill-fated trip back across the Atlantic.
Mr. Perfect and Brock Lesnar had a shoot take-down contest as Scott Hall sprayed everybody in sight with shaving foam. With the chaotic atmosphere descending, Ric Flair allegedly sexually assaulted a stewardess; witnesses X-Pac and Justin Credible have revealed that he certainly flaunted his c*ck and balls around the aisle.
Goldust channelled his various traumas into song in a grim scene; after a stewardess allegedly rebuffed his suggestion that they "f*ck," he turned to his ex-wife Terri and serenaded her. Scott Hall, deep in his hole, begged a stewardess to "suck his d*ck" before slouching into a stupor so heavy several people thought he had died. These were desperate, ill, entitled men at this point in their lives. The fact that they were borderline unconscious is a small mercy.
X-Pac lopping off Michael Hayes' ponytail is funny, mind.
