Most wrestling fans will have heard some details by now about Brock Lesnar and Curt Hennig brawling mid-flight. The story has become stuff of legend, but it has obviously been embellished over the years. Somewhat remarkably, the truth is more horrific and scary than many know.

Tommy Dreamer recalled conferring with on-flight staff about the chances of Lesnar and Mr. Perfect breaking the emergency exit door and thus dooming everybody on the plane. Heidi said that'd be next-to-impossible (possibly due to cabin pressure), but there were fears that both wrestlers might break through the wall.

Yes, the f*cking wall of the plane.

Doyle and her staff were worried that two gents that size fighting could tear a hole near one of the windows and force an emergency landing. The flight was already halfway over the Atlantic Ocean by that stage, so a hasty stop would've been hopeless...especially with a hole on the side of the aircraft.
