The Plane Ride from Hell
This infamous incident took place on a chartered flight which took place as the RAW crew flew back to the US after the 2002 Insurrextion PPV in the UK. In wrestling circles it became known as the a Plane Ride from Hell.
Lets take a look what happened:
Now bearing in mind Jim Ross, president of talent relations was onboard to uphold the law, along with road agents Arn Anderson, Dave Finley, Gerry Briscoe, Michael Hayes, locker room leader the undertaker was present, along with senior writers Stephanie Mcmahon and Paul Heyman...... so you'd think the crew would behave themselves right???
WRONG!
Many of the guys were having a good time drinking onboard untill some got completey sloshed and things really got out of hand:
Bradshaw got into a tiff with michael hayes, who had reportedly been in a grumpy mood the whole tour... it turned physical, and ever the bully, Bradshaw floored the former freebird... but it didn't end there! a couple of wrestlers decided to teach Hayes a lesson by cutting his hair whilst he slept. Not surprisingly Sean 'X-Pac' Waltham did the honours. Hayes awoke to find his new shorter hair-do and went ballistic! With kevin nash not on tour with injury, and scott hall semi-conscious after drinking a skinfull, Waltman didn't have a lot of backup, but somehow managed to avoid a beating. (Hayes mullet was stapled to the wall at the next RAW taping! and hayes blew another fuse).
Of course the lunacy didn't end there! Ric Flair was stumbling around in his robe (with no pants underneath) like he often did when partying in his NWA heyday, and exposed himself to a female flight attendent, Dustin 'Goldust' Runnels serenaded his ex-wife Terri with gushy lovesongs over the PA system, she was not amused! and after ignoring her pleas to stop she had to complain to jim ross who finally persuaded the drunken Runnels to finish his bad musicals!
Meanwhile Scott Hall and Curt Henning had been having fun spraying others with shaving cream... untill the intoxicated Hall passed out. Henning got into an argument with Brock Lesnar over their shooting skills which turned into a brawl... taking Triple H and Paul Heyman to intervene... the group fell dangerously close to the plane door during the scuffle.
Despite the presence of senior WWE personnel onboard, many wrestlers totally lost control. Even the undertaker... the so-called locker room leader, the man who commands so much backstage respect.. did virtually nothing to maintain order.
As a consequene curt hening was released from his contract, as was scott hall, who was so docile on the trip that people had to check his pulse to see if he was still alive! Others received warnings for their misbehavior and the WWE had a huge black eye on its reputation. JR was quick to announce that WWE would no longer serve alcohol on overseas flights!
