Chris Jericho fears no man

[Nate DaMac]

The ending of the Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar SummerSlam match, which went pretty much as planned, led to a verbal and somewhat physical confrontation between Lesnar and Chris Jericho last night.

According to multiple sources, Jericho came to the gorilla position just as the match ended, apparently to see if Orton was okay and to find out what exactly happened. He asked Michael Hayes what the finish was or if that was the finish. Hayes wouldn't answer him at which point Jericho said, "That's bullsh*t."

Jericho said that just as Lesnar came back from the ring. Lesnar thought he was talking about his match, and called Jericho a pussy according to one version, or "shut up" according to another, and to mind his own business. The two got face-to-face and started exchanging words, with one version saying they were shouting at each other the whole time.

Lesnar pushed Jericho with his fingers, and Jericho did what was described as the "Rousey-Tate" foreheed press. One version also had Jericho shoving Lesnar to the wall at one point.

They got tangled up against the wall and Lesnar told Jericho to punch him or kiss him. Paul "HHH" Levesque jumped in quickly and broke it up. It was heated enough that they went back at it at which time Vince McMahon broke it up. Jericho started yelling about Lesnar and McMahon told Jericho that it was all a work and to be professional.

Levesque reportedly told McMahon that Lesnar started it, and Jericho was just standing up for himself but there were more words exchanged.

Jericho saw Orton and got mad, which everyone noted was because he was concerned with Orton's health and safety. Orton reportedly assured him that he knew the way everything was coming.

It was bullshit. The reckless elbow from brock where he pulled orton's arms away that is. I dont know about the actual finish being bullshit, for a main event to one of the biggest shows it probably was but had this match been in the midcard it wouldn't have been.

As for the actual confrontation, jericho has balls to keep going once it goes past words. There'd be 8 shades of shit running down my leg if i ever thought there was a legit chance lesnar was going to punch me

 

[HBK-aholic]

Jericho just wants to be my #2 favourite ever. It's working.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Mad respect for Jericho.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Y2J could just lock in The Walls of Jericho on Brock if he wanted. Don't mess with The REAL Canadian Beast....Jericho!

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

The fuck? Orton's been suspended for 60 days.

 

[JGlass]

Can't say getting in Lesnar's face was a particularly smart move, but I admire Jericho's guts.

Where have you read this?

 

[nightmare]

Jericho wasnt scared of Goldberg either. This isnt surprising.

 

[L@RISANO]

Where have you read this?

Seems to have been a rumour.

Seems to have been a rumour.

Ah cool. I thought so because I couldn't find anything on it before.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Jericho legit thinks he's the saviour of the universe.

If Jericho gets punished but Brock doesn't it'll show Brock can get away with anything. He could probably sodomise Stephanie with his penis tattoo and get away with it

No, it would show it was 100% a work and Jericho reacted before knowing what was planned.

If Brock did something wrong, yes, consequences would be necessary. But if he did what he was supposed to, he should obviously face no punishment.

Whatever happened, it was an awful match.

 

[Alex]

True but Jericho caring about Orton's well being isn't a bad thing. He may have acted a bit quickly but if someone went 'yeah it was supposed to go like that' Jericho would have got it. Doesn't help that Brock being Brock escalated the situation

 

[Da Prophet]

Jericho should stop bullying people bigger than him.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I like that Brock is an outspoken homophobe, yet he asked Jericho to kiss him.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

My only issue here is that nobody gave a shit to answer Jericho.

 

[MrMojoRisin]

Respect for the guts to stand up to Lesnar... but beyond that, what I'm seeing here?

26 year veteran Chris Jericho got worked?

 

[Shocky]

Respect Jericho, but that could have ended real badly for him. Dude got worked and Lesnar was the professional.

 

[Dave]

Do you remember when The Undertaker was around, and how everything in terms of the well-being of the Superstars went through him? He was judge, jury and executioner in the locker room due to his personality, his size and his tenure. Well, chances are that Jericho is now that guy. I don't blame him for calling it bullshit. I don't believe for a second that was how it was meant to go. Lesnar winning was a certainty but not that way. Jericho had every right to look after his colleague. Props to him.

The story keeps changing, and turning into less of a confrontation. By the time it all shakes out, this is what probably happened.

Jericho: "Hey Brock, that's fucked up!"
Brock: "What?"
Jericho: "You busted Randy open on purpose!"
Brock: "I was doing what Vince told me to"
Jericho: "Oh. Thanks for clearing that up for me. See ya in a couple months"
Brock: "Yep. Maybe we'll work a match when I come back"
Jericho: "Sounds good."

 

[Wally Dangerously]

I didn't think it was possible for me to like Jericho more. I was wrong.

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

He could probably sodomise Stephanie with his penis tattoo and get away with it

New signature quote found! Thanks Alex

This is entirely possible; it sounds more like a real situation to me than any crazy embellished dirtsheet.

I'm starting to think the whole thing is the WWE working the sheets. There is no better way to get total heel heat for Brock.
