The former Y2J man now reveals how he almost got arrested but was saved by Vince McMahon’s quick thinking.
In case you didn’t know…
At a WWE Live event in Brazil on May 24, 2012, Jericho was to face CM Punk, and before the start of the match, he threw the Brazilian flag down and then kicked it away. This action angered the police, who wanted him arrested.
Jericho was suspended by the WWE for 30 days and the WWE apologised for their wrestler’s actions.
The heart of the matter
“About six, seven years ago I kicked a flag in Brazil which is a felony, which no one told us beforehand, Like, it’s really bad. Long story short, the army wanted me arrested and taken to the jungle prison," said Jericho.
What’s next?
Jericho will face off against Kenny Omega after attacking the NJPW wrestler at the All In event last month. They will face off against each other at Jericho’s unique Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea event at the end of the month.
