Looks like Mickey Rourke isn’t the only person Chris Jericho wants to beat up. The wrestler was leaving a WWE RAW Live show in Victoria, B.C. on Saturday, when a group of fans blocked his exit from the parking lot. Prowrestling.net published a first-hand account of the violent brawl that followed.
Chris Jericho opened the door to his vehicle in the middle of the road, and the fan shut the door back on him. Jericho then got out of the vehicle completely, and punched the fan in the face! This prompted another fan to jump in (he was friends with the first) and attack Jericho, who scuffled with the second guy. At this point, a woman who knew the second guy who attacked Jericho, started 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…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 shit storm happened…
He spat in the girl’s face, and called her a “f—ing bitch.” The woman spat in Jericho’s face. Jericho 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 shit storm, throwing and swinging at everybody around him. He knocked one guy to the ground, told another fan that he was going to “f—ing 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 jumped in and started swinging at Jericho. Jericho grabbed the guy and started throwing him to the ground, and at this point I had 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 grabbed Jericho and started yelling at him to calm down. Jericho responded 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 shoved the second guard to the ground and told him to “stay the f— off me”.
Well, as that happens, the chick lunged at Jericho AGAIN, and this time Jericho actually punched the woman in the face, and shoved 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 stormed into his vehicle swearing and sped off, running through a stop sign in the process.
Ironically, Jericho punched opponent Shawn Michaels‘ wife Rebecca on the mat last August.
Not that anyone thinks Jericho’s freakout on Saturday was staged. The woman Jericho allegedly punched, Ashley Levey, and her boyfriend, Kalen Johl, were arrested at the scene after the wrestler left (they were later released without charge). A police investigation is underway, but no further charges have been announced.
