Chris Jericho / Fan Incident update


Reports have come in that the couple that attacked Chris Jericho have been found.

Remarkably, they weren't charged.


Y2-RACIST

The Times-Colonist in Canada featured an article on the Chris Jericho incident.

The newspaper reported that 20-year-old Ashley Levey, the woman involved is claiming the incident was sparked by an alleged racist comment made by the former WWE champion.

Levey told the newspaper that her boyfriend, Kalen Johl, heckled Jericho as he was driving away. Her version of events is that Jericho got out of his vehicle, and made a racist comment to Johl, who is Asian. She also claimed Jericho shoved Johl, which led her to calling him a racist, at which point Jericho spit and punched her.

Both Levey and Johl were arrested but were later released without charges filed. Levey commented to the newspaper that she wanted Jericho charged with assault.


FINAL THOUGHT


I've seen the video - the fans started it.

They don't know the difference between reality, and wrestling.

They probably spell wrestling with an "r"

Chris Jericho Fan Incident


The line between Entertainment and Reality has been broken, as Chris Jericho and a Fan were involved in a confrontation.


BREAKING THE WALLS DOWN

Being an entertainer myself, there is a time and a place for everything. In wrestling world, we don't do our characters 24/7 - It's a job, a job we all love and admire and are proud to do for all the fans.

But some fans, don't understand that.

This "misunderstanding" happened to Chris Jericho after a WWE House Show in British Columbia, Canada.


Y2-JERK

It's a common fact that Jericho is portraying one of the best, if not the best, heel in the wrestling industry today. Fans around the world know his name, and hate his actions.

But, some fans believe that he's like that in real life -- which isn't true.

As Jericho was leaving the arena, fans flocked to the car park to see Jericho leave, and to boo him -- normal fan type actions.

What wasn't normal, was that one fan broke the line between the two worlds, and attacked Jericho's car.

Reports claim that a fan knocked on Jericho's window, and starting flipping him off (giving him the middle finger). Jericho responded by stopping his car and opening his door. The fan then kicked the door shut in Jericho's face.

Jericho by this stage had been provoke, and exited his vehicle and began to confront the fan. Security and other fans were present on the scene, where the fan yelled curse words and insults at Jericho.

Reports also claim that 2 fans attacked Jericho, then a blonde female fan continued to talk smack to Jericho.

Jericho then retaliated by apparently hitting the female fan.

Afterwards, Jericho then pushed the parking / arena security, screaming "Do your f***ing job!"



FINAL THOUGHT


Fans need to remember there's a line in the entertainment world that you don't cross -- In saying that, not all wrestlers are going to attack you if you cross that line, but its basically a show of respect, to us, if you remember to maintain that line.
