5 Times WWE Superstars refused to travel with someone

#3 WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan did not want to travel with The Big Show

In August 2016, WWE veteran The Big Show told a story on Miami radio station Sports Talk 790AM about the time that he was no longer allowed to travel on Hulk Hogan’s plane.

As part of his WCW contract, Hogan used to have his own plane to get back to Tampa, Florida after episodes of Monday Nitro.

Big Show, known as The Giant before his move to WWE, would often ride on the plane with Hogan and Randy Savage, as well as one of his close friends at the time, Brian Adams (aka WWE’s Crush).

Many people have tried to impersonate Hogan and Savage over the years, but Big Show decided to go one step further by impersonating the two WWE legends in a romantic relationship with each other.

Adams, who knew Hogan and Savage would hate the impersonations, ribbed Big Show by encouraging him to perform the impersonations on the plane.

As the seven-foot WWE Superstar recalled, his attempt at humor was not appreciated.

“Brian looks at me and gives me the wink. And I'm a dumba** rookie, so what do I do? [In Hogan's voice] 'Whatcha gonna do, Macho, when the largest python in the world comes for you, brother?' [In Savage's voice] 'Ooh yeah, Hulkster. Go to infinity and beyond. Give me the beef, Hulkster.' And believe me, I'm cleaning it up for radio. The version I did was really, really raunchy.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Big Show said he had a big grin on his face after his impersonations. However, he was met with dead stares from Hogan and Savage.

He added that the pilot of the plane, Captain Ron, told him one week later that he needed to catch a commercial flight due to possible turbulence and concerns about the weight on Hogan’s plane.

“And I'm like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem.’ So it's like two months, I was kicked off the plane ride home.”

In reality, Big Show knew that he had been banned from the plane due to the way that he mocked Hogan.
