A number of WWE Superstars were fired after the 'Plane ride from hell'

We start off our story with the extremely infamous ‘Plane Ride From Hell’ in 2002. A number of WWE Superstars were returning to the United States on a chartered flight after a tour of mainland Europe and the United Kingdom.

Things got out of control on the flight and it led to several WWE Superstars getting fired including the ever-controversial Scott Hall. However, we’ll focus on what happened with Brock Lesnar and Curt Hennig for today.

Lesnar was minding his own business when the late Curt Henning came up to him and teased him about his amateur wrestling props. This led to Henning goading Lesnar into having an actual wrestling match on the aisle while the airplane was flying over the Atlantic.

While wrestling around the two of them even slammed against the Emergency Exit door, which could have blown open, leading to a far more serious incident. Several people had to get involved to separate the duo. This incident led to Henning getting fired from WWE.

Lesnar was innocent and thus there was no action taken against him.
