   The Plane Ride From Hell: The Flight That Changed Wrestling

   THE PLANE RIDE FROM HELL: THE FLIGHT THAT CHANGED WRESTLING On May 5, 2002, a WWE charter flight left London following the company's European tour. What happened during that flight would become one of the most infamous stories in professional wrestling history. But the Plane Ride From Hell wasn't simply a story about wrestlers drinking, fighting, and causing chaos. It exposed a wrestling culture that was rapidly changing. In this Cheap Pop Society deep dive, we go beyond the legendary stories and examine the events surrounding the flight, the wrestlers involved, the fallout, the allegations, the lawsuits, and the bigger question: Did the Plane Ride From Hell actually change professional wrestling — or did it simply expose an industry that was already changing? We'll look at the stories surrounding Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, Brock Lesnar, Goldust, Michael Hayes, Jim Ross and others while separating documented events from allegations and wrestling folklore. This is the story of... THE PLANE RIDE FROM HELL.
