A video lesson for fans: Don’t attack a boxer, MMA fighter, or pro-wrestler
By Zach Arnold | February 8, 2009
Do not attempt to get into a fight with someone who could legitimately kick your ass. As I watched this video, in my mind I was thinking about what would have happened if this was The Diaz Brothers, Dana White, or Joe Rogan instead of Chris Jericho. There will be plenty of updates on this story right here.

At first I thought Jericho was a major **** after watching those videos, but after reading the full descriptions of the altercation I’m on his side, although throwing a punch at the girl was a bit much.
Also, I’m amazed and more than a little scared at how serious some people take pro-wrestling. I don’t watch WWE, but Jericho must be an amazing heel.
My favorite part was, “I didn’t know he was *really* an asshole.”
Lesson 1 – Don’t grab a guy as he’s getting into a $50K+ vehicle, I mean that’s like a million dollars Canadian
One more round dude got bitched repeatedly. Somebody should have talked shit to him but everybody there was a pussy.
Stinko Malenko wouldnt have stood for that either.
Two things…
1. WTF is wrong with this crowd that they felt the need to practically go after Jericho where he felt the need to defend himself (even if he does go overboard he had a lot of people rushing him so he may have just felt incredibly threatened)?
2. Doesn’t anyone know how to hold a camera? Both of these shots are complete shit.
The fans started it cause they were Cena fans. AKA MARKS. That dumb bitch was yelling, spitting and pushing Jericho, and jumped Jericho from behind. Jericho wouldn’t have known if it female or not so on instinct he turns and punches the dumb broad. Bitch should of gotten run over on basic principal. Starting a fight with him cause he’s a heel? Goddamn MARKS.
looked staged too me. shocking, coming from a wrassler! 🙂
haha, the dude that came to stick up for the girl y2j popped was wearing a tapout hat and an affliction shirt.
plus jericho looks a lot like james vanderbeek
Jesus, what is wrong with some people? Do some people still think wrestling is real? Even though it seemed like Jericho was going through with some ‘roid rage issues at the end of the ordeal, he was mostly in the right here. You can tell he was restraining himself, but just had to explode.
But you know what this incident proves? Jericho is probably the best heel in wrestling in a LONG time. he can get heat for himself so much, people attack him on the streets. Especially because this was in Canada, I am shocked something like this never happened to Shawn Michaels. The whole “I lost my smile” incident doesn’t count.
But I also must say that Jericho was being a dick overall. He shoved a security guard or two for apparently no reason at all. He kept yelling “Do your fucking job!”. He is right about that, but there was no reason for him to shove security like he did. As I said before, Jericho was in the right for the most part, but this incident did prove that many wrestlers can be meathead idiots, even smaller, more athletically gifted, and articulate wrestlers like Jericho. I think he should law-low on the vitamin S.
“Jericho is probably the best heel in wrestling in a LONG time.”
He is this generation’s Roddy Piper. He also has the ability, like Piper, to move seamlessly between the heel & face roles without losing anything in the transition.
This is probably fake, but this is what I was reminded of.

those security guards need to take some of the blame. The tall one just stood there. They should have been intercepting all the trailer trash coming forward.
