This past weekend, WWE star Chris Jericho (real name: Chris Irvine) spat on and allegedly hit a female fan after she and a group of others heckled him. Chris Jericho was possibly being heckled due to his current portrayal as a "heel" (which in wrestling terms means he is portraying the bad guy, for the purposes of angering the audience and making the good guy wrestler appear all the more righteous). As the story goes, Jericho spat in the face of the woman then she started striking him at which point he struck her. The defense provided by the WWE is that Jericho was justified in his actions because be was being attacked by a mob as he was leaving the wrestling venue. This event happened at a WWE show in Victoria, Canada. This particular WWE show was not televised. I have also included an image of Chris Jericho talking down to retired 16 time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair, this past Monday at the televised WWE RAW event in Oakland, California, which I attended. Also, since it appears that a few of us are wrestling fans, we will be adding interesting news in the world of sports entertainment to our site because it is definitely entertainment.
