Chris Jericho Involved in Altercation with Female Fan

Here is the report from a Fan that witnessed it.

Quote :

This
afternoon after the WWE house show in Victoria, my girlfriend and I
went to see the wrestlers leave the arena (this was my girlfriend's
first WWE event and she wanted to see them leave). The following is
exactly what happened right in front of me and about another 50
wrestling fans who happened to be there are well:

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 shitstorm happened...

He
spit in the girl's face, and called her a "fucking bitch". 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
shitstorm, throwing and swinging at everybody around him. He knocked
one guy to the ground, told another fan that he was going to "fucking
kill you". The woman who got spit on was still yelling at Jericho, so
he piefaced 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 fucking job and get the fucking police here". Then he shoves the
second guard to the ground and tells him to "stay the fuck 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.

Here actual Video of the incident.

Here's TMZ's Point of View

http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/08/fan-spits-on-wwe-star-wwe-star-hits-back/

personal opinion:

1. What the hell were the fans thinking? Lets stand in front of a beefed up professional wreslter's vehicle and call him names and pester him until he snaps and then blame him. The fans were out of line in what they did and think that the blame ultimatley falls down upon them

2. Security should have been doing their job to begin with and keeping the crows from being bale to get even close to the vehicle and since they couldn't even do that they should have been able to keep the crowd at bay

3. Jerico although he was pestered with insults, stupid actions, he should realize that he is some what of a role model and even though everyone supposedly hates him, he should have been slightly calmer and tried to deal with the crowd in a nice fashion such as "Please everyone, i would love to sign autographs and take pictures but due to an appointment I must leave in a hurry and sorry I am unable to do so". Its understandable at the same time though that when people get hot blooded its hard to think and take more actions then talk

conclusion:

I belive the fans were at fault and the woman shouldn't have been trying to attack Chris as well as stupid antics done by stupid fans.

Again, this is just me personal opinion

From what I saw, she grabbed a hold of him first, he retaliated. She had no business putting her hands on him, she has no case.

This is a problem when retards can't differentiate between what is show and what is reality. She's the retard, she paid the price.

F*cking ignorant Americans who live in a 'goldfish bowl' who abuse the 'land of the free' moniker so they can do and say what ever they want. Then, when the sh*t hits the fan, they start crying and bitching about how they "Didn't do nothing" and file a lawsuit so they can get easy money and sit around all day eating chips!

Jericho has a reputation as one of the nice guys and should be shown respect. Especially when they are not in character!

I hope nothing comes of this, and everyone supports Chris.

hey jd i believe this happened in victoria bc, or thats what one of the vids i found said. so if its canadian then chances are there will be no lawsuit. If it is a lawsuit, then they are a disgrace to Canadians and should be banished to the Artic.

In that case, I apologise to anyone offended. I just ranted there after I read, then saw the vid.

I thought it was Victoria, Texas USA. And I'm afraid I jumped the gun and started mouthing off before thinking. How hypocritical of me to lambast others when I myself come out with ignorant generalisations of the southern states of the US.

I can only apologise.

Our justice system probably won't even allow the lawsuit to proceed. If this happened in the US, it probably would be allowed to proceed and she probably would win too!

Security obviously weren't doing their job. Embarrassing to watch.

I do not doubt that remark. People can sue here for the craziest things. For instance: Someone broke into someone elses car, but punched in their window injuring themself in the process. They sued the car owner, and won. How in the world is that fair?

Just like the Make my Day law in the U.S. A guy got convicted for attempted murder after some a-hole broke into his house. The owner had a gun and shot the guy as he was running away. The basis for guilty: The guy was running away, so he was no immediate threat.

It's not just America that has this problem as over here in England the law system sucks at times because it' is all about human rights for the criminals and human rights for ethnic minorities yet not for there own, etc...

As for Jericho, I don't blame him for doing that and them 2 marks who had ago at him (using the term correctly) need to tell the diffrence between a fictional character in a glorified soap opera and a real life person who is the lead singer of Fozzy.

Hey if she kept touching him grabbing him and acting like a real man of the whole ordeal she deserved to be hit.. in my opinion.. i dont think a guy should hit a girl UNLESS she thinks shes MAN enougth to start attacking him

Finally a decision - no charges for Jericho.
