Today's Blind Items - The Flight

The police were called to meet the plane when it landed, but nothing actually happened to the person who the airline thought should be arrested. It involved a foreign born wrestler who was probably A list in wrestling when it happened. Back then, wrestling was still very much a regional sport rather than the national powerhouse that was around the corner. This wrestler was usually considered a good guy, but in some regions would be the villain. This particular plane flight was headed to an area where he was most famous and had the protection of a wrestling family.

Our wrestler was known for his drug and alcohol use and on this fight he was drunk and wasted and was openly using cocaine on the plane. He ended up with a bloody nose and spilled cocaine when he tried to get up and broke his tray table and threw it at a passenger. He tried to force his way into the cabin of the plane because he insisted the pilot was one of his friends. At one point, he tripped and slammed his head into an oven in the galley of the plane and that staggered him and got him to return to his seat to sleep it off. 

When they arrived, the police talked to him and the flight crew wanted him arrested, but he was never charged and the police even gave him a ride to the arena where he was performing that night.
