goodhelmet Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Can anyone else make out what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Fans acting stupid, piss poor security who stood there like they were watching a wrestling angle, leading to bodies flying and some broad getting punched in the face. Most wrestlers, and I'd wager anyone who was trained in the Dungeon, follow the rule of anyone who lays their hands on you gets knocked the F out. You know people (especially the chick who got punched) are going to try to sue Jericho, but he was put in a bad spot and basically had to defend himself from a mob.

Resident Evil Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Got this from DeathvalleyDriver where it was found on spywareinsider Chris Jericho exited the building, and walked over to his white rental vehicle. The crowd watching him leave was heckling him, but he was ignoring it. He gets in his vehicle and drives out of the arena parking lot, right past the crowd of us. As Jericho stops at a stop sign, a fan runs into the street and starts banging on his rental vehicle. At this point about 50 people rush into the middle of the intersection, blocking traffic in several directions, with no police and very inadequate and incompetent security (no WWE security guards period). My girlfriend and I were literally in the very front of the crowd, and this all went down literally five feet away from us. Chris Jericho opens the door to his vehicle in the middle of the road, and the fan shuts the door back on him. Jericho then gets out of the vehicle completely, and punches the fan in the face! This prompts another fan to jump in (he was friends with the first) and attack Jericho, and Jericho scuffles with the second guy. At this point, a woman who knows the second guy who attacked Jericho starts to jump in and get in Jericho's face (because he was fighting her friend). This is where the Save on Foods Rent-A-Security Guards stopped standing around watching this happen (I swear they thought they were watching a wrestling angle or something), and stepped in to separate Jericho and the woman, who was shoving him. Looking at Jericho's face he was obviously ready to explode and was restraining himself...but then the sh**storm happened... He spit in the girl's face, and curses at her. The woman then spit in Jericho's face. Jericho then started cursing out the woman some more, and was getting ready to go back into his vehicle (as all of this is still happening in the middle of the road). While he was turning to go into his vehicle, one of the guys he was fighting shoved Jericho against his car. Another guy then shoved Jericho, and that time he bumped his head on the top of his vehicle. This was where Jericho seriously snapped. After bumping his head, Jericho went into a sh**storm, throwing and swinging at everybody around him. He knocked one guy to the ground, told another fan that he was going to "f**king kill you". The woman who got spit on was still yelling at Jericho, so he pie faced her away from him (because the arena security couldn't keep them separated). As soon as he put his hands on the woman, ANOTHER fan jumps in and starts swinging at Jericho. Jericho grabs the guy and starts throwing him to the ground, and at this point I have to yank my girlfriend out of the way and into some other people because Jericho had literally thrown himself and the other guy into our direction and we would of been knocked down by the scuffle. The arena security try again at this point to regain order, and two of them grab Jericho and start yelling at him to calm down, to which Jericho responds by taking a swing at one of the security guards and yelling at them to "do your f***ing job and get the f***ing police here". Then he shoves the second guard to the ground and tells him to "stay the f** off me". Well, as that happens, the chick lunges at Jericho AGAIN, and this time Jericho actually punches the woman in the face, and shoves her to the ground. This stunned everyone, and the girl's friends ended up jumping in trying to fight Jericho, to which he fought all of them off, then storms into his vehicle swearing and speeds off, running through a stop sign in the process. This whole thing happened over the span of about 5 minutes (of the street being blocked by this ordeal), and the woman ended up calling the cops on Jericho. They arrived 5 minutes after Jericho left, complete with a Paddy Wagon. The WWE's head of security did not see the incident, so he was there trying to figure out what happened along with the cops at the same time while yapping on his cell phone, and the woman is pressing charges against Jericho. As crazy and unbelievable this sounds, it can all be backed up with whatever police report was filed on the scene this afternoon. Another eyewitness account WNW reader Monique sent this in... I was a witness to a fight between a crazed male fan and Chris Jericho after the show on Feb. 7th 2009 in Victoria British Columbia, Canada. Chris Jericho was in his white SUV and leaving the arena when a crazed fan started chasing after his car and pounding on the front window. Jericho was stuck in traffic and the car came to a stop, and then the fan pulled on the car door and it opened! Jericho stopped his car and came out to pose for pics, when suddenly the same fan lunged for him and Chris Jericho threw a punch in self defense! A woman was pushed into Jericho as well and security was pretty lax, but finally they pulled the fan away and Chris was able to get into his SUV and drive safely away. The police arrived shortly after and hopefully arrested the fan for assault. Chris Jericho had taunted the fans in the show saying that he would take on anyone, but this fan took him seriously and took what Jericho said totally out of context! Glad that Jericho got away unharmed!!! It was very intense!

Ronnie Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I thought he did a good job of controlling himself in the initial stages and that talk of throwing a "punch" at the female was overstated, although this GIF appears to corroborate the reports: The idiocy of some wrestling fans is astounding. It's no wonder we're despised by the masses when you look at the conduct of these idiots, yelling abuse outside of the location of the performance, harassing, laying their hands on the wrestler, and so on. The fact that you have one woman repeatedly asking for a photo in the midst of the fracas, another saying that (because Jericho finally reacted) "he really is an asshole", and the woman who continually goaded him until he lashed out now looking to sue him just seals the deal. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkelly Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Are the fans Canadian? I'm asking because of curiosity with their legal system. If they're non-American citizens, can they sue an American? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
