2. The State Of The Plane Afterwards

Post-flight, WWE's rowdy bunch departed the aircraft and poor blighters like Doyle and other staff had to try and clean up the mess. Heidi says they found vomit, blood and syringes all over the place. She and other attendants were told to clean it all up, but they walked off the plane instead.

Nobody can blame them for that.

JR recalled the sorry state of the vehicle once the party had ended himself, and he's surprised that the FBI weren't waiting for them at the other end. Most of the wrestlers went their separate ways following the trip, but Ross had to sit down with Vince and thrash out a plan to punish those responsible too.

Meanwhile, Heidi and her colleagues would never forget their first full experience of WWE's roster behind the scenes. It's heartbreaking to hear Doyle reminisce about her early excitement for the trip and then her (contrasting) trauma following it.
