The incident infamously dubbed as "The Plane Ride from Hell" took place on May 5, 2002, when the WWE crew were on a plane journey from London to New York. The flight that consisted of several WWE Superstars and crew saw Brock Lesnar and WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Perfect get into a real-life scuffle.

Interestingly, Vince McMahon paid for an open bar on the plane which turned out to be a not so good idea. With it being a long flight, Mr. Perfect aka Curt Hennig challenged Brock Lesnar to a fight on the moving plane. While the Beast Incarnate, being a rookie at that time, was going to back down from the fight, he decided to go ahead with it so as to not be seen as a coward. The two locked up and Brock Lesnar took down Mr. Perfect on several occasions.

While fighting, the two got dangerously close to the emergency exit and this is where Paul Heyman and Finlay intervened and got them apart. As dangerous as it could have been, this is one of the most interesting behind-the-scene fights in WWE history.
