Chris Jericho altercation with fans in Victoria, BC

Edit: New video from shanndylicious, much closer up and with better sound and a better view of Jericho punching a woman:

Posted to YouTube by Gizzaedge:

*** Jericho did not start this, I did not get the first part of the altercation.

This happened shortly after the end of Raw’s houseshow in Victoria BC Canada on 7 Feb 2009.

After Jericho drove out of the parking lot, a fan ran up to his SUV, starting knocking on the window and fingering him while yelling. Jericho opened the door and had the fan kick it shut. This is when I started recording.

The first little bit shows pretty much nothing, but it’s there. According to other bystanders, this fan had been verbally harassing Jericho prior to the show. It’s a shame that one fan had to ruin it for everyone, I hope he is found and charged.

The video really doesn’t show much; some fan reports say that a female fan also jumped up onto the hood of Jericho’s SUV preventing him from driving away and that started the fight, but other [longe, more detailed, and ultimately more accurate] reports say that a female fan didn’t get involved until after Jericho had an altercation with two other fans, one of whom kicked his car door.

Bob Holly: GONE!

Bob Holly Released

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Bob “Hardcore” Holly as of today, January 16. WWE wishes Bob the best in all future endeavors.

I’m not in the habit of wishing people out of their job, and I find it actively disturbing that so many wrestling fans belittle wrestlers who are trying to make it in the real world, after their wrestling career—but that doesn’t mean I think Holly had any reason to be in WWE in 2009. As a character and performer, he wore out his welcome years ago.

WWE Releases 4 Wrestlers + Others on January 9th

Today, January 9th, WWE has wished D-Lo Brown, Bam Neely, and Val Venis the best in their future endeavors.

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstars D-Lo Brown and Val Venis, and ECW Superstar Bam Neely as of Jan. 9, 2009. WWE wishes them the best in all future endeavors.

Figure Four Weekly / Wrestling Observer also reports that Kevin Fertig [Kevin Thorn], referee Jimmy Korderas, and agent Tim White have also been released.

Val Venis: While Val is often described as a “good hand” he was simply involved in too much wacky stuff during the attitude-era and since then done nothing of note; he was never going to be taken seriously as a TV character gain.

D-Lo Brown: WWE brought him back this year, he got a good pop, and then they did nothing with it. Is his release fallout from some drug testing stuff? Very possibly.

Bam Neely and Kevin Fertig: Who cares?
