Vice’s Dark Side of the Ring returned last night (Sept. 16) to start the second half of the documentary show’s third season.

The episode (embedded above) focused on the infamous charter flight back to the United States after WWE’s 2002 European tour, known as “The Plane Ride From Hell”.

The other was the involvement of Heidi Doyle, one of two flight attendants who filed a lawsuit against the company for how they alleged they were treated while working the flight.

Allegations that Brock Lesnar and Scott Hall sexually harassed women before and during the flight are mentioned in the latest Dark Side of the Ring (Dustin “Goldust” Rhodes was named in Doyle & Taralyn Cappellano’s lawsuit, but this episode only focuses on Rhodes drunkenly serenading his then-wife Terri Runnels over the PA system).

Flair has repeatedly denied that he harassed or assaulted anyone on the flight, and when asked about the upcoming Dark Side of the Ring episode recently told Renee Paquette, “We’ll see how it plays out, because I was there and I don’t care whose name I gotta drop if the heat falls on me.

Jim Ross, Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer & PJ “Justin Credible” Polaco were all interviewed for Dark Side of the Ring, and none deny that what Doyle says happened actually happened.

The former ECW star and current Impact producer downplayed Flair’s behavior as a rib, dismisses criticism of it as essentially “people are too sensitive these days”, and infers that if Doyle was as shaken by the incident as she says, she should have filed criminal charges (she says in the episode that her husband encouraged her to take the settlement from WWE to keep the matter from becoming public, and to protect their daughter).

Trending on Twitter since the episode aired, Dreamer (real name Thomas Laughlin) has also now been suspended by Impact as a result of his comments in Flair’s defense.

Wrestling Observer also reports Dreamer’s “future on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio is also in question” after his comments on Dark Side of the Ring
