CBright7831 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Clocking up more than a million miles a year as they travel from venue to venue, the Superstars of the WWE have more road trip stories to tell than they have frequent flier miles. In this eye-popping insight into life on the road you can share their experiences and read all about their encounters, as Robert Caprio chronicles misadventures both hilarious and bizarre. From restraining drunken and abusive airline passengers, to the vagaries of hotel plumbing, to the hazards of hitchhikers who suddenly decide they would rather ride naked, the trials of non-stop travel make for a wonderfully entertaining collection of stories. Being a WWE Superstar is a job which keeps them on the road for more than 240 days a year and separates them from their families for long stretches of time; but at the same time it lets them see parts of the world many never dreamed they would visit. In this book which captures all the flavour of the peripatetic lifestyle, a host of top WWE Superstars reveal their fondest memories and their tallest tales.
The Amazing Rando Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 drunken and abusive airline passengers?! They interviewed Dustin Rhodes?
Enigma Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 How appropriate. This is the name of Ice Cube's latest shitty movie.
Scroby Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 This could be good, any release date on it?
Use Your Illusion Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Oh look, they have a MEXICAN driving the bike! lol
Guest hhheld_down Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Oh look, they have a MEXICAN driving the bike! lol its amusing, but thats not the reason it is. big show makes the book cover
Jingus Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Wow, an official WWE book release that looks like it might be something other than either a coffee table book (Wrestlemania, Unscripted) or complete shit (the cookbook).
DerangedHermit Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 drunken and abusive airline passengers?! They interviewed Dustin Rhodes? No, silly. He's gone. They probably interviewed Regal.
CBright7831 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Posted January 11, 2005 Half of the people on the 'Flight from Hell' are either gone (Hall, Lesnar, Goldust) or dead (Hennig). Who got there haircut on the FFH?
Jingus Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Michael Hayes, and the guy who supposedly did it (Xpac) is also gone.
Guest Fook Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 There won't be anything like the Flight from Hell or Dupree getting a ticket in Holly's car. It'll be "funny" things like the We Hate Amy story that Lance Storm talked about on his website a few months ago.
Guest Dazed Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Michael Hayes, and the guy who supposedly did it (Xpac) is also gone. How did he get scissors onto the damn flight anyway?
bob_barron Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Half of the people on the 'Flight from Hell' are either gone (Hall, Lesnar, Goldust) or dead (Hennig). Who got there haircut on the FFH? Since Hennig (and possibly Crash) were the only one dead ones on that flight- I don't think that constitutes half
Guest Brian Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 They should have given Big Show the pink helmet.
Guest LooneyTune Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 All of them are gone. Easy as that. Brock/Hennig had a physical confrontation: Hennig fired right after and Brock left voluntarily around WM XX. Hall being drunk: Fired soon after Goldust: Got drunk and started singing love songs. No punishment, but was released of his contract in January 2004. X-Pac: No idea how he left. Both sides agreed or whatever?
Enigma Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Michael Hayes, and the guy who supposedly did it (Xpac) is also gone. According to who? Michael Hayes is still very much a part of WWE. He was recently shifted over to RAW to help with creative.
Enigma Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Scott Hall was more-or-less fired for falling asleep backstage during the Insurrexion 2002 UK PPV. All credible accounts say that Hall was not a part of the Plane Ride from Hell and was asleep the whole time. As for X-Pac, once the nWo angle was killed due to Kevin Nash tearing his quad, X-Pac decided that instead of waiting however so many months for creative to find something else for him to do, that he wanted out of his contract instead to be able to keep working.
The Czech Republic Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 vagaries peripatetic God, what good will the book be if the synopsis makes half of the WWE fanbase's heads explode?
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 All of them are gone. Easy as that.

Guest Loss Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Flair exposed himself on the flight, yes. Meltzer downplayed that as much as he could.
Guest Sturgis Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 It'll be "funny" things like the We Hate Amy story that Lance Storm talked about on his website a few months ago. Care to explain this one?
Aero Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 It'll be "funny" things like the We Hate Amy story that Lance Storm talked about on his website a few months ago. Care to explain this one? I think it goes something like this. Storm and Christian were driving on the road somewhere in the south, and they are behind a van that has a banner that says "We love Amy". They thought it would be funny to make a "We hate Amy" banner and pull up beside the car. But they thought Amy might be a sick child or something, so they forgot about it. A few minutes later, they pulled up on the side of the car anyway and got more info: Amy was actually some girl on USA's "Nashville Star". Another banner said something like, "Vote Amy on Nashville Star". So, Storm and Christian immediately reconsidered and made the "We hate Amy" sign.
Guest wildpegasus Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 If you guys are interested in this stuff you should all go over to www.deathvalleydriver.com and check out that around 100 page thread about all the craziest stories in wrestling.
The Czech Republic Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Yeah, where's the link to that? I remember something about the Rock n Roll Express seeing some woman shit on a glass table and Ricky Morton was grossed out but Robert Gibson stayed and watched.
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Michael Hayes, and the guy who supposedly did it (Xpac) is also gone. According to who? Michael Hayes is still very much a part of WWE. He was recently shifted over to RAW to help with creative. He wasn't saying that Hayes is gone. Hayes was the answer to a question that was asked and then he said that X-Pac had done it and is gone.
jester Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Yeah, where's the link to that? I remember something about the Rock n Roll Express seeing some woman shit on a glass table and Ricky Morton was grossed out but Robert Gibson stayed and watched. http://board.deathvalleydriver.com/index.php?showtopic=19896 It's 100 pages now.
Slayer Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Storm and Christian were driving on the road somewhere in the south, and they are behind a van that has a banner that says "We love Amy". They thought it would be funny to make a "We hate Amy" banner and pull up beside the car. But they thought Amy might be a sick child or something Now that would have been funny
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Are those stories true? The thread title is Urban Legend and some of the stories were admittedly false. Those sound way cooler then whatever is in the WWE book though.
