10 Best Times Wrestlers Kept Kayfabe Outside Of Wrestling
2. Chris Jericho - In An Elavator
Sometimes being a heel means breaking a small child's heart, which I'm fully aware has already happened once in an earlier entry.
However, Chris Jericho was being a d*ck to kids long before MJF burst onto the scene... so, he's just made number 2 on the list!
Jericho revealed in his 2014 book 'The Best In The World: At What I Have No Idea' that he went to extreme lengths in order to maintain the facade of his suit wearing pr*ck heel character throughout his 2008-10 run.
When faced with a loving father and his star-struck son in an elevator and asked if he could sign something for the young fan, 'Y2J' completely ghosted the pair.
Understandably upset by this lack of respect, the father apparently let rip at Jericho but the former Undisputed Champion didn't flinch and stayed rooted in the character he was playing at that time.
If Jericho had signed something for that little fan, then that youngster would no doubt have ended up cheering for a star who was supposed to be portraying a heel. Yet, thanks to Jericho's stellar sh*thousery in that elevator, he earned himself an extra jeer whenever that father and son duo were in attendance from there on out.
