10 Wrestling Promos Wrestlers Regret

10. Chris Jericho Takes Things Too Far In Brazil

Even the ever-committed Chris Jericho quickly realised he'd well and truly put his foot in it during a WWE showing in Sao Paulo back in 2012... quite literally, in fact.

Coming in the thick of a contest against then reigning WWE Champion CM Punk, Le Champion found himself presented with the opportunity to generate some cheap heat via crumpling and stomping on a Brazilian flag that had somehow made its way into the ring.

Upon hearing the inevitable jeers sent Y2J's way, a heelish Jericho then proceeded to pick up a mic and clap back at the incensed paying public in character. "Shut your mouths!" were the fateful impromptu promo words that seemed to act as the final nail in the "bad judgement call" coffin as Jericho was eventually given the ultimatum of apologising for his behaviour or being arrested by the police.

Sure enough, Jericho would chomp down on some humble pie in next to no time, telling the live audience, “I love Brazil. We are very happy to be here to perform for you. So please accept my apology for stepping on the wonderful flag of this wonderful country.”

That still couldn't save him from a swift 30-day suspension, however.
