That Time Vince McMahon & Kurt Angle Wrestled ON A PLANE
"Tell the pilot to go f*ck himself. I'll buy the f*cking plane!"
Imagine being part of the cabin crew for a WWE flight and seeing Vince McMahon repeatedly get out of his seat, hunt down Kurt Angle and challenge the Olympian to a little wrestle.
During an interview with Inside The Ropes, Kurt said that's exactly what happened. He had to contend with a drunken McMahon (who was sinking glasses of wine) and his machismo. So, for seven hours, Angle cycled between relaxing in his seat and taking Vince down in the aisle way.
Staff were not amused.
One flight attendant warned the pair that the pilot would ground the plane at the next available opportunity and both would be kicked off. That prompted a fired-up McMahon to roar, "Tell the pilot to go f*ck himself. I'll buy the f*cking plane!".
Kurt said this was just Vince "being a big kid", and also said he likes to be challenged in "every aspect of his life". Apparently, that includes taking a whooping from a gold medal-winning wrestler whilst racing through the air at high speeds.
Someone needs to find out if that attendant did indeed tell the pilot to "go f*ck himself". Probably not.
