I haven’t seen the episode yet but I wasn’t expecting this shyt to be as heavy as it sounds so it shocked me. Any time I’ve ever heard about the plane ride from hell referenced or spoken on it’s always been jokingly but that shyt sounded horrifying coming from different (normal) perspectives. Lot of people coming out of this looking real bad, especially dumbass Tommy Dreamer.

^^^ This, I didn't realize this shyt was so heavy/serious, i thought it was just them having fights on the plane and shyt, didn't realize all this dark undercurrent existed about this incident until now.

And within 3 days this shyt gonna be forgotten about and life goes on . These whiny losers gonna find something else to cry about.

The Dreamer stuff will probably be forgotten, because he didn’t do anything that egregious, and he has a reputation of being a nice guy. But Flair is going to be feeling the heat of this for a while. All the commercials, music videos, TV appearances, and anything else mainstream he was doing is about to be gone. He’s going to be relegated to wrestling conventions, bingo halls, and high school gyms for the foreseeable future.

Twitter finally realizing what people already knew about Flair and the Wrestling industry:hubie:


The wrestling industry has been like this and honestly some of the most foul shyt was in the 2000s which is late but it was like that.

I honestly think Wrestling still hasnt button up

Pro wrestling is fukked up...been fukked up since day 1...carnies gon carny...it will always be that way

I wouldn't be so sure about that seeing as the mainstream media thus far hasn't reported on the situation and the outrage is only coming from Twitter and Reddit. They just don't care about wrestling enough to make a huge outrage about it.

The hypocritical aspect of this is that the story has been well known for years now, yet people on The Coli and wrestling fans still supported Flair and his antics. Don't make a big outrage about it now when you've known the story the entire time.

The part where Mr Perfect did the shaving cream shyt to Brock was always missing from the story.

And Mr Perfect always told the story that he took Lesnar down. Nobody else says that IIRC.

The average wrestling fan doesn’t listen to podcasts or watch shoot interviews, and this was almost 20 years ago. Most people commenting on this were kids when this happened, so I doubt they knew the full story.

I didn’t even know that story about Flair harassing the flight attendant. Whenever I heard about that plane ride I only heard about the drinking and fighting.
