WWE have released a statement Paul "Triple H" Levesque underwent a successful procedure last week at Yale New Heaven Hospital following a cardiac event. The episode was caused by a genetic heart issue and Paul is expected to make a full recovery.

What a great tag line for a film!

Presumably that fact that the film, directed by The Soska Sisters, was produced by WWE Studios and stars Paul Wight is nothing more than a coincidence!

Think Mick has a good point.

Shawn Stasiak was on the flight but he said there was actually two planes from London to America, the plane ride from hell Vince Mcmahon wasn't on it as depicted in the episode, and Jonathan Coachman has said it aswell and at some point Vince and Kurt Angle were meant to have wrestled on the flight.

I dont know if it was this flight or another flight where wrestlers got drunk and high, Michael Hayes was reportedly to be drunk and urinated on Linda McMahon while she slept

JR (Jim Ross) apparently give a 4 hour interview for the episode that will probably never be released, what he said was it true or is he still holding a grudge against WWE for firing him. After the flight he said some were fired and fined especially Scott Hall and he said he shouldn't be wrestling due to his problems and with what Ric Flair had done he got a pass and nothing further said or done.

In a case of art imitating life, Leonardo Passafaro was an 'enforcer' for the Columbo family - the youngest of the 'Five Families' that dominates organized crime activities in New York City, within the nationwide Italian - American criminal organization known as the American Mafia

He would later play the part of Luca Brasi - Vito Corleone's personal enforcer, and the only man Vito fears - in the Francis Ford Coppola film 'The Godfather' (1972)

Before his Mafia connections, however, during 1950's and 60's he wrestled for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and the American Wrestling Alliance

He would later appear as the school cook in the former 'video nasty' 'Evilspeak' (1981)

In SummerSlam 1991 may be memorable for when Macho Man married Miss Elizabeth.

It mat also be memorable to others as this was the last time Ultimate Warrior would be seen and the start of a few suspensions.

According to reports, Warrior threatened a no show for SumerSlam 1991 as he felt his fee for Wrestlemania VII wasn't sufficient and he should get paid more for his merchandise and demanded $500.000. Vince McMahon gladly paid him upfront to ensure he would appear then when he got backstage he was released, Warrior would return for Wrerstlemania 8.

How many times does he say "Brother", Shawn Micheals imitates Hogan on Raw before their 2005 SummerSlam match which Shawn over sells everything that Hogan did to him.



The build up to the pay per view.
