GUERRERO, EDGE FIGHT DURING LIVE EVENT
Apart from the usual matches, some fans saw something 'extra' which involved a fight between Eddie Guerrero and Edge. The location of the seat was located near the entrance way which was easy to sneak around backstage. Guerrero apparently was mad at something that Edge did and told him "Don't you ever f!@king do that again" to which Edge responded with a huge shove almost knocking Guerrero to the floor. Officials stepped in instantly and broke up the fight as well as shutting the curtains after spotting the fans watching what was happening backstage.

FIGHT BREAKS OUT ON THE WAY BACK FROM ENGLAND
A fight broke out on the European tour involving
WWE superstars and agent Michael Hayes. Apparently all hell broke lose on the
plane on the way back home and Hayes wanted to beat someone's @ss. According
to Dave Scherer, Curt Henning and Dustin Runnels cut Hayes' mullet while he
was asleep and the former Freebird member was seriously p!ssed about the
situation. Bradshaw was also involved in the incident and knocked out Hayes
in one of the altercations. On RAW the superstars hung the mullet backstage
and that made Hayes even more furious. All the WWE higher-ups including Jim
Ross and the McMahons were on the same charter flight.
JR had this to say regarding the infamous WWE UK flight:
"First thing's first, let's address the charter flight many World Wrestling Entertainment Superstars and staff members took overnight Saturday after Insurrextion in London that landed in Hartford, Conn., at approximately 4 a.m. Sunday morning. The flight was about seven hours in length and at times was low-lighted by a handful of people who consumed too much alcohol and consequently acted like children whose parents were away and left the liquor cabinet unlocked. The conduct of this inebriated minority was unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Procedures have been put in place to ensure such conduct does not occur in the future. The bottom line is this: yours truly is the person in charge of the talent roster and the buck stops with me. We will do all we humanly can to solve the problem."
