WWE Employee Tweets About Tyler Reks Plane Incident
WWE's Sound Person Marc Lanciaux posted the following on his Twitter feed:
"Thank you Tyler Reks for not only delaying our flight, but also for providing me with blog material. Nice knowing ya."
The blog referenced tells the story of a flight he was on having to return to the airport from the runway due to an unnamed WWE wrestler demanding to be allowed off the plane. The wrestler (now presumed to be Reks) was concerned about noises coming from the plane's wings and claimed to know something was wrong with the plane because he was a pilot. He advised others to deplane also. No word on whether others followed suit, or whether there really was something wrong with the plane.
