Tight Jeans and bad haircuts are pretty much played out. The newest fad amongst celebs in punching women in the face. Professional wrestlers are not exempt either. Check out this video where WWE’s Chris Jericho gets verbally and physically assaulted by unruly fans. After he has had about enough he hits a woman in the face, then man handles the girl’s boyfriend and the security guards who he felt did a poor job of keeping the fans away from him. Like many things these days it was caught on a number of cell phone video recorders.

The irony is that Jericha’s character on TV has also recently punched a women in the face. I guess that is a case of life imitating art.

WWE has issued a statement regarding the issue and seem to be siding with their employee:

“After leaving a live event in Victoria, British Columbia on Saturday evening, Chris Jericho’s car was attacked by a mob when he was stopped at a stop sign. Unable to proceed, Chris Jericho exited his car to ask the crowd to clear a path so he could continue through the intersection. A man and a woman physically and verbally assaulted Mr. Jericho. Arena and WWE security arrived to establish enough order to allow Mr. Jericho to re-enter his vehicle and depart. The local police arrived minutes later. Mr. Jericho was unharmed in the incident. The WWE is working with local authorities who are investigating the incident to identify the man and woman who fled the scene.”

Jericho has been getting some mainstream attention lately as there has been talk of him doing some sort of match with Mickey Rourke at the next Wrestlemania.
