WWE’s Bo Dallas, real name Taylor Rotunda, was pulled from his flight in a most inglorious fashion Friday night.
The wrestler was bound for Mexico when the intersection of alcohol and love of Disney show tunes became too much for the flight crew to handle. Rotunda apparently had quite a lot to drink before getting on the flight, where he began his belligerent rendition of the opening song from The Lion King.
As fate would have it, Steven Bell’s wife was at the airport with Rotunda. Bell, who hosts The Late Shift, provided live updates on twitter via his wife’s firsthand account.
So, my wife is currently at DFW waiting on a flight and surrounded by basically the entire Raw roster.

Uh oh. It would appear as though Bo has been kicked off the plane for being too intoxicated.

Not surprising, as I heard him very loudly singing the Lion King song in the background when on the phone with the wife.

Rotunda apparently took exception to being kicked off the flight, and was not shy about voicing his displeasure to the crew and his fellow passengers.
The pilot was just told to go fuck himself. I don't Bo-lieve this is going to end well.

Bo told everyone to fuck themselves before drunkenly walking off. Missing a flight to Mexico due to intoxication may not be a career booster

May this be a lesson to you all. Don't get piss drunk and loudly sing Disney songs while boarding an international flight.

A lesson worth learning, indeed.
