This is what Jim Ross and JBL had to say about this.

He was playing the part of a wrestling villain in an entertainment based entity," Ross said.

"It's not like he was at a sporting event like soccer and disrespected the flag, but rules are rules and they have strict rules regarding the flag in their company... He's playing a character, did an ad lib, and unfortunately he stepped over the line for the local culture, so he's been suspended indefinitely and hopefully it will work out."

Jericho was nearly arrested on Thursday night after denigrating the Brazilian flag during his match with CM Punk at WWE's first-ever event from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

After seeing reports of Chris Jericho in Brazil-it was what I suspected--Chris trying to entertain and be a heel. Apparently a Brazilian Flag comes into ring and Chris grabs it and kicks it (or something to that effect). Compare that to Sgt Slaughter burning the flag or all the crazy stuff that has gone on. This is nothing. EXCEPT we are in a new era and now that isn't acceptable.

Chris did what most old heels would have done, he reacted and a decade ago it would have been loved for the heat. However, times change and we have to as well-Chris acknowledged this and apologized. Chris is a wonderful person and one of all time great entertainers-there was no malice here from what I see and know about Chris. A mistake was made and is being dealt with.

As far as being illegal, please, if done in an entertaining arena it is considered as such. Like saying you can prosecute Anthony Hopkins for cannibalism because of his role in 'Silence of the Lambs'. I understand the arguements, I went through same thing in Germany and it was never considered a problem in Germany-only over the Internet and the Internet reporters. Chris' intent was to entertain not insult anyone in Brazil or the great Brazilian fans.

Times change and for the better. Chris did what a ton of older heels would have done and he reacted. He is being punished and he apologized. He is one of all time greats and a great friend, old habits are hard to change but we must.

Times change and we have to change with it, and we all will.

It was supposed to be all part of his heel character but he took it too far.

KAYFABE LIVES!

:haha:

So it was kayfabe? Why the fk is it in brazil then? Jericho should be kicking the american flag on a live RAW. Jericho isnt as smart as he tries to be after all. ::dawg:

 

[Aids Johnson]

....because the countries flag he was in was Brazil, although I wouldn't have been suprised or outraged if he had done it to the American flag, they could have done a segment with the WBC after maybe, gotten him some real heel power.

Not his fault.

He's touring with his band Fozzy soon. So he has to get off tv.
The best idea was to do something really bad, like this.
I can't come up with an idea for him to be suspended on Raw or SD.

 

[Snowman1]

What's really scary is what will happen when he comes back. Alex Riley had a DUI arrest last year, Drew Mcintyre had the hotel room incident in 2010, and both of them look like wasted talent right now as a result. Will Chris Jericho just leave, or will he be stuck on Superstars until he goes back with his crappy band?

 

[Leo C]

No, Jericho will never be that devalued. He may not be wrestling for the title, may be on the midcard, but I'm pretty sure he's got his spot on Raw guaranteed. Or they could send him to SD.

Fozzy, eh? Sounds like some 50s country band with banjos. Best in the world at horrible rock music?

Can't judge. Never heard one of their songs.
But if their are being booked in the summer, they aren't that bad.

He may go back to that "Mid-Card Filler Jobbing to Evan Bourne" role he had before leaving.

The reason they are being booked is because they are famous. They're well known due to what we are talking about right now, not due to their actual talent.

In a perfect world, I'd say Jericho could help elevate the midcard, but we all know that WWE isn't able to book that thing that doesn't envolve Cena properly.

This is what I don't get. I see quite a few American members on this board blasting Brazil for defending their flag and national pride. Yet if I were to go to America. Rip down a American flag and take a piss on it I would most likely be thrown in one of your high security prisons an labelled either a terrorist or as attacking your freedom. If not killed by the crowd that would have amassed before the cops got me. If one country can be labelled as nationalistic it is the US there is no denying it. :
