Oh, so i've no need to post a reply really...

If you want to be so flippant, then shouldn't the whole of WWE be stopped. After all, physically attacking people is illegal, right?

No, you're right. There really is no need for you to post...

This is a work, surely?

Suspended for 'kicking' a flag? What?

[Woosher]

Jericho Is A Racist!

[Steveaustin316]

Any chance Jericho will be fired over this?

[Nik01]

Chris Jericho suspended? Its a good job he had some Fozzy commitments here in the Uk like download and presenting the Metal Hammer golden gods award the next few weeks isnt it?

That should keep him going until he is reinstated

[Arkudos]

Looks like the 'Revolution' promo's are for WWE 13.

Sigh.

It's total bollocks IF this is real. You gotta wonder with Jericho.

I'd agree with Shawn Michaels regarding this. (Twitter.com/ShawnMichaels)

The Nazi salute is illegal to do in Germany if you're doing it for real, it's not illegal if part of a theatrical performance, which is what JBL would have certainly argued he was giving. If it was illegal full stop it wouldn't have been allowed in films like Downfall.

Anderson Silva vs Chris Jericho in a HIAC match

I'm amazed UFC thought they could do Silva v Sonnen in front of 60000 Brazilians. World war 3 would have started. And not the WCW pay per view.

And there ends one of the most underwhelming returns in pro-wrestling history.

Next time you come back, Jericho, lets see a bit of that Y2J spark - and stop volunteering to job to everyone.

Why? He's a 41 year old part time veteran who doesn't need to worry about his legacy. I'm sure he cares little about jobbing to people at this stage. Good for him. Would you rather he be like Hulk Hogan?

[jamespondo]

Surely this is a work so he can perform with his band this side of the pond in just under two weeks. Rehearsals n' all... Didn't HBK mock hump and pick his nose with the Canadian flag?

That gives Orton nothing to do at No Way Out. Was looking forward to that match.

Apparently, Canada and Brazil are different countries with different laws.

No, I'd rather he played a role like The Rock did, where it was actually believable he could beat Cena, thus leading to the highest Wrestlemania buyrate of all-time.

After Elimination Chamber, nobody with any sense believed that Jericho was going to win the belt at Wrestlemania or any other PPV. He had been booked like a total loser.

It's typical IWC nonsense that the veteran always puts over the young guy. There is a time and a place for that, absolutely. But booking that way all the time? Foolish, predictable, and ultimately futile.

[QWERTYOP]

Y2J is no Rock. He's always been an upper mid-card, sometimes floating around the main event kinda guy with WWE.

Chris has made his money and cemented his legacy. Anything that happens from here won't change that. He foats in and out when he wants. I'm sure he doesn't mind. Russo was right anyway - wresting titles are props in a TV show.

[Biffo the Bear]

I noticed that Kane's theme tune has switched back to being like his old one from pre-2002 ish:

but I prefer the one that had the guitary bit in:

What about everyone else?

[MizManiac]

For me whenever Jericho is on- a toilet break or a tea break beckons. He bores me rigid, as does JBL. Has the WWE not noticed the relative silence that descends on an arena whenever certain individuals walk the aisle? The best thing about WWE at the minute is the push John Laurin..i..Laringytis is getting at the moment. Who needs wrestling talent like The Miz/ Rhodes/ Christian/ Ryder/ Orton when a Dynamic Dude is on the horizon? I await the RAW sketch where John Cena plays a Dynamic Dudes entrance...

Reminds me of this.

He broke a law in another country. He is lucky he didn't have to spend the night in jail.

Unfortunately, real laws don't stop being law simply because an entertainer feels they can ignore them in the context of being an entertainer. This is why Max Cavalera, lead singer of Sepultura at the time, was arrested after he wiped his butt on the Brazilian flag and had to go to jail and pay a hefty fine. Did he do it to rile up the crowd? Yes, but he still broke a law in doing so and was punished as a result.
