According to the wrestler, Hennig never backed off from a risky prank on his fellow wrestlers. Moreover, he was particularly fond of airplanes. So when he got on the same flight as The Conqueror, chaos ensued. As one can clearly tell that Lesnar does not have a sense of humor when it comes to most things. Angle described the late WWE legend and said “He liked to rib a lot of people. He was the prankster.”
He continued, “And especially when we went in an airplane, Anybody that fell asleep, he would mess with him and I remember he did it to Brock (Lesnar) one time and Brock was like uh, you know, really pissed off cause Curt kept throwing shit at him while sleeping.”
Kurt Angle couldn’t believe the lengths Mr. Perfect went to for his prank
