Were Vince and Linda McMahon on the Plane Ride from Hell

One question that many have since asked is where was Vince McMahon and his wife Linda during the whole ordeal. Surely he should have stepped in when the boys were crossing the line. How did all this happen with the CEO of the company doing nothing about it.

Were Vince and Linda McMahon on the Plane Ride from Hell?

According to former WWE commentator Jonathan Coachman Vince and Linda were not on the flight despite the episode repeatedly stating the opposite. The show mentions that Vince and Linda were on the flight seated in the lounge area with Jim Ross and Terri Runnels. Coachman, however, recalled differently.


Dave Meltzer corroborated the same on the Wrestling Observer Radio. He said that multiple sources told him that Vince’s absence was a big factor in all of this happening. Melzter added that the people in the documentary may not neccesarrily be lying but simply misrembering events that happened nearly twenty years ago.

He also clarified it by going through his old newsletters and notes from the time before reaching out to others for confirmation.

One other discrepancy viewers noticed was the show going into detail about Ric Flair and Scott Hall’s misdemeonours while painting Dustin Runnels as a sympathetic heart broken man who despite his issues stood up for the victim, completely ignoring that Runnels also had a lawsuit filed against him.
