You never know what can happen when you travel a lot, especially if airplanes are your usual means of transportation. The airport and professional wrestling have a long strange history with each other and Xavier Woods recently experienced a situation that could have gotten way worse than it did.
While waiting for a flight, Xavier Woods decided to document every awful update of his current situation. The airline had overbooked his flight and wouldnโt let the plane take off until 8 people gave up their tickets.
Most people would get very frustrated in this situation, but thankfully Woods realized he had a Twitter audience he could entertain by relaying his experience and thatโs exactly what he did for over two hours.
What follows is one of the most epic travel stories weโve heard in a long time. We did the best we could to transcribe Xavierโs experience and only kept a couple actual tweets due to the amazing gifs he included to go with the story.
So please enjoy Woodsโ excellent airport drama:
โCurrently using Google Translate to explain to the man next to me that they need 8 volunteers or we arenโt taking offโ
โThings are breaking down at this gate. Three flights from the same gate and ours hasnโt left yet People are starting to turn GOT styleโ
โIt feels like a brawl may ensue, Iโll keep my phone ready in case some @WORLDSTAR stuff happensโ
โPeople have been clamoring for a manager and itโs not this girlโs fault. Someone just said they are gonna write a complaint letter!โ
โHANDWRITTEN! NOT AN EMAIL! IVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE BEFORE! ITS LITERALLY THAT SCENE FROM WHITE CHICKS!โ
โMental breakdowns are starting to occur. A man said he is lifetime executive platinum & will never fly them again. And just yelled at this girl who is working the desk like she purposely made it so we canโt get on the plane. This girl, who is made of stone, looked at him and said, โOk, im sorry that this has happened sir but unfortunately there isnโt anything I can do to help unless people volunteer to not take the flightโ he then starts to yell again and she politely cuts him off and says โis there anyone who needs help that will speak in an indoor Voice?โ I havenโt heard someone say โindoor voiceโ since I worked in daycare. I love this. Girl at the desk is giving me lifeโ
โTHE FIRST F BOMB HAS BEEN DROPPED! THIS MAN CURSED AT THE GIRL AT THE DESK AND SHE WALKED AWAY! #Slobberknockerโ
โThe price just got upped to $1500 bucks after the โlifetime executive platinumโ man got loud about it. People smiled and the โF bombโ guy in danger. The people next to me are actually conspiring to try to get people to ban together to get him booted off the flight. GOT a confirmed seat on a flight to Montreal tomorrow. But we may only need three more pretty soon cause this man who dropped the F bomb may beโ
โSo to update. We are delayed due to a weight restriction and need 4 more (got 4 already) volunteers to not fly. Reward is $1300, a hotel, & a woman is breastfeeding and shooting dirty looks at the man who cursed super loud. Crowd starting to turn on himโฆ.Is mad jealous. And he still doesnโt know people are plotting to force him to volunteer for cursing at our Khaleesi (desk girl!)โ
โWE ARE NOW AT $2000!!!! This is like watching deal or no deal. Everyone whispering with their friends. โFโ bomb guy whispering with no oneโ
And this has been my aesthetic the entire timeโฆ pic.twitter.com/4er5V3E25W

โI helped an older lady fill out her declaration card then watched her, in one 30 second walk mind you, shun the โFโ bomb guy, then feign injury so she could skip the line to speak to our Khaleesi, then proceeded to try and plead her case for why she should get on the plane nowโ
โShe said โI honestly donโt know how much time Iโve got left so I need to get on this flightโ and Khaleesi STONE WALLED HER!โ
โWhen the older woman returned to her seat she laughed and said โI tried the old lady thing but she wasnโt buying it'โ
โI have no idea how I was selected to be blessed with all of this ridiculousness on this day.โ
To many hysterical things are happening, starting to look for cameras. I think I may on Swerved. This cannot be real. pic.twitter.com/AnCF5D0t11

โI canโt with what just happened the โlifetime executive platinumโ dude just came and gave props to the old lady who faked an injury and the โFโ bomb guy saw it & visibly threw a 2 second tantrum. He looks like he wants to fight the old lady for being the cheating babyfaceโ
WE ARE BOARDING!!!

There is a couple that is so happy that they are literally in tears. This girl at the desk, She truly is the breaker of chainsโฆ pic.twitter.com/x2GuM4sAHe

โThe โFโ bomb guy said something to Khaleesi under his breath, she stopped him & said โyou being rude did nothing to help anyone, know that'โ
โMan in front of me, who also kept his cool, just jokingly said โnow we are gonna sit here in this plane for another 2 hoursโ please lord noโ
โBREASTFEEDING MOM JUST GOT ON AND WALKED PAST โFโ BOMB GUY. SHE MOUTHED โF@?$ YOUโ AS SHE PASSED HIM! HOW ARE THINGS STILL HAPPENING?!?โ
โWe are about to take off. Iโm still in awe that this even occurred. Hopefully itโs done and a fight doesnโt break out in customs byeeeeeโ

We can only assume Xavier might have given up his seat on the flight if he didnโt have to be in Montreal on Saturday night to work a WWE house show. Weโre just glad everything turned out okay without any bloodshed, Game of Thrones style.
