8 Wrestlers Who Went Nuts Overseas
4. Hell
Perhaps the most liberally cribbed backstage wrestling story due to the various strands of chaos that emerged from it, 2002's WWE 'Plane Ride From Hell' was an instant classic the moment the troubled jet hit the deck.
Earlier that year, Vince McMahon had threatened to inject his organisation with a kayfabe "lethal dose of poison" by bringing in the New World Order, but both X-Pac and Scott Hall's were only two of the offenders in the murderer's row of wrong'un's on the hedonistic flight home from UK-only pay-per-view Insurrextion. That show was horrendous - surely there's a place on the WWE Network for handi-cam footage of the air travel instead?
A p*ssed Pac clipped Michael Hayes' mullet after the former Freebird passed out, Ric Flair "walked that aisle" naked but for his wrestling robe, Goldust drunkenly serenaded his ex-wife Terri, and Brock Lesnar and Curt Hennig almost literally fought to the death when a friendly grappling game veered out of hand and into an emergency exit.
Though not attached to one of the headline incidents, Hall was on a final warning about his boozing in general, and was let go shortly afterwards due to his poor condition and performances.
