Dark Side of the Ring: Plane Ride from Hell topic: Allegations against Flair have caused issues.... - Remlik Sep 17, 16:11 7
- The worst thing on the episode was something RVD said that isn't getting enough attention. - the wrong element Sep 17, 18:01
- Flair and Tommy Dreamer are cancelled. -- nm - Tim Sep 17, 16:16 5
  - I bet Dreamer loses his Busted Open radio job as well. -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 16:38 4

        According to the flight attendant that wasn't all he did. - the wrong element Sep 17, 18:28 1
        
        Right, Flair's conduct at best is problematic not just in this case. It's been played for laughs by the boys for a long while. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 18:34

A nice thing I'll say about O'Toole - he has not, to my view, politicized the COVID response (where it has been a different story provincially) - Reagen Sep 17, 15:48 3
