Chris Jericho Round Up

News

A handy digest of links about Jericho’s weekend altercation with fans.

This isn’t an exhaustive list, but I do think it gives a decent cross section of stories about the altercation between Jericho and two fans over the weekend.

Katie Derosa, of Canwest News Service, provides an article that’s been picked up by a number of Canadian websites, including the local paper in Victoria, British Columbia (where the altercation happened).

The Baltimore Sun’s Kevin Eck offers some analysis of the event, siding with Jericho. He even gives offers an anecdote about the kind of unruly fan behavior Terry Funk had to put up with in the territory days (it involved fans trying to stab him).

Jack Windham at Wrestling Revealed thinks there’s enough blame to go around for both sides of the incident, but also calls the fans out for not understanding the difference between the performers and the characters they play.

K.C. Mynk takes a similar tack at the Bleacher Report, comparing wrestlers to actors.

College OTR, on the other hand, looks at things from a different perspective, labeling the post a profile in douchebaggery and find a correlation between Jericho and Chris Brown.
