As seen in the above video, Chris Jericho got into a verbal altercation with a man at a signing during a benefit concert for a musician who had recently been killed in an accident.
The man, who said he was a fan and was just trying to tell Jericho congratulations, shouts curse words at Jericho and yells back at him, "F-ck your ass." This continues for a bit, then Jericho tells a compatriot, "These guys are f-cking p-ssies."
Witnesses told TMZ that it all started when Y2J was approached outside a tribute show for musician David Z on Friday, who died in a bus accident on July 14. Jericho signed autographs and took pictures with fans for a while, then his patience wore out, and he began to turn people down. That's when everything in the video kicked off, apparently.
Jericho Tweeted out this statement yesterday, before the details of the incident became public.
When asked for comment by TMZ after they reported the story, Jericho replied, “I was not in a good state of mind at that time and instead of ignoring a pushy (aka rude) fan which is what I would usually do, I snapped. My apologies to all involved and God bless David Z.”
One former cohort is on Jericho's side in this whole ordeal. Former WCW Boss Eric Bischoff Tweeted this out:
