The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that World Wrestling Entertainment and three of its professional wrestlers are being sued in Maricopa County by flight attendants who allege the wrestlers sexually harassed them aboard a chartered luxury airplane.

The suit, filed late Monday in Superior Court, accuses Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Dustin Rhodes of "extreme and outrageous" behavior on a return flight from Europe aboard Phoenix-based SportsJet on May 5, 2002.

The suit alleges Flair wore only a jeweled cape, flashed a flight attendant and asked her to touch him. It also claims that Hall made a lewd proposition to a flight attendant and licked the face of another attendant, while Runnels - the suit says - grabbed one attendant and said they were going to have sex.
Flair is currently employed by WWE, while Hall and Rhodes are no longer with the company.

The suit also said other wrestlers on the return flight from Europe repeatedly groped the attendants.

The Republic's calls to World Wrestling Entertainment and SportsJet were not returned.

SportsJet also is reportedly being investigated over the allegations by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The company is owned by Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns. It provides flights for the three teams, as well as other teams, athletes and rock stars.
Do you think that they actually did this? Or are the flight attendance making false acusations to make money?

I don't know, Flairs been known to get pissed out of his mind and take his clothes off, this from some of the guys that have worked with him in the past. Scott Hall, well.....
Dustin's the only one I can't figure doing this. I'd heard he got drunk and started singing to Terri over the P.A system, but the other stuff I find hard to believe.

I can see it happening. The wrestlers are so used to having women on the go that they think any woman will go for them. Im not really bothered by it to be honest it sounds as tho they where having a laugh and I really thinks its been made to look like a big deal.

I honestly think that they didn't do it. I can probably see Flair or Hall making fools out of themselves when drunk but I just don't think they would go that far.

I want to know why people think since someone is married that they wont cheat on their wives, it happens all the time

Now it may not have been as bad as reported, but I do believe they did something to draw these accusations, plus if the investigaters didnt believe it and there was no proof, they never would have taken the case and brought it to court, they maybe found innocent, but that means nothing to me, take OJ for example

Yeah, they totally did it. From everything I remember about that plane ride from hell, all of those guys were pissed out of their minds. Come on, they shaved Freebird's mullet, Perfect almost threw Brock out of the plane and caused them all to die. Hall got fired for his performance and perpetual drunkenness on that trip. Those guys were loaded and the stewardesses got the brunt of it.

And this all comes from a guy who's on Kobe's side of that arguement.
