CBright7831 0 Report post 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.

Guest Fook Report post Posted January 11, 2005 There won't be anything like the Flight from Hell or Dupree getting a ticket in Holly's car.

Guest LooneyTune Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post 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.

Aero 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
