- Chris Jericho was involved in a fan invasion attack yesterday after the
WWE show in Victoria, BC. Following the show, Jericho got in his rental car
and drove away from the parking lot as fans started to give him trouble.
After stopping on a stop sign, one rowdy fan decided to attack his vehicle
which prompted the former WWE champ to get out and take action. Several
friends of the attacker jumped on Jericho, including a female who spit in
his face but received one in return and Jericho also ended up shoving her
down. All hell continued to break lose before some security guys decided to
step in. Jericho eventually managed to get himself free after a few more
shoving and punching and drove off with the police arriving minutes later
according to an eye witness report. Two videos are already online
documenting the incident. The second video clearly shows the woman get in
Jericho's face as he's getting in the car and Jericho reacts by shoving her
away. One of the fans calls Jericho a "disgrace to Canadians." You can also hear
Jericho yelling at the security to do their jobs." Please note that the videos
contain very strong language.
