Dark Side of the Ring: Plane Ride From Hell Discussion Thread

[InSaNe]

There was a lawsuit with two flight attendants at the time and RVD himself said he saw it. And Goldust is the one to stop Ric.

Oh, I see. I'm not a huge Ric Flair fan.

I'm just not a fan of Cancel Culture. Not one bit.

But thanks for the information.

One thing I don't get is why did WWE give Ric Flair the "Dirtiest Player" gimmick? It doesn't help his reputation. I think it leans into, onto the controversy.

I remember reading about the plane ride from hell back in 2002. It was one of the biggest shockers of the year. We could've lost Brock Lesnar before he rose to fame, Scott Hall before he sobered up and Curt Hennig when he'd just gotten back to the WWE after a lengthy absence. Vince and Linda weren't there, but quite a few of the top guys were and we could've lost them.

I mean, the company would've been dealt a blow that it wouldn't have recovered from. That shoot fight Lesnar and Hennig had could have decompressed the plane and I don't know if it could've made a safe touch down.
