Curt Hennig may have been known as Mr. Perfect on-screen, but on a certain trip in 2002, the former Intercontinental Champion was far from the ideal.

A part of the infamous 'Plane Ride From Hell', the journey to England saw many members of the WWE roster at the time get absolutely wasted, and amongst other incidents, Hennig decided to fight the rookie Brock Lesnar.

During the scuffle to determine who was the better amateur fighter, Perfect and The Beast brushed against the emergency exit, which could've been highly dangerous for all onboard.

Livid, McMahon fired Hennig not long after, who would sadly die the next year, and was inducted posthumously by his son (Curtis Axel) and his family into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
