10 Controversial Times Wrestlers Went Off-Script

Though both men would undoubtedly class the subsequent programme as one of the finest of their careers, there's no questioning the fact that things got off to a rather bumpy and unscripted start for Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho back in 2008.

After launching HBK head-first into the Jeritron 5000 and seemingly causing a career-ending eye injury, Y2J would interrupt Michaels' and his wife Rebecca at SummerSlam as he looked set to call it a day in the ring.

The original plan was for Jericho to deliver a worked punch to Rebecca after things boiled over in the segment, stopping his punch just before it connected with her face. However, when it came time to execute the moment, the pair got their timing wrong and Le Champion legitimately decked Michaels' missus. And The Heartbreak Kid was about as p*ssed as you'd expect him to be.

In Jericho's own words, as Rebecca was tended to backstage, Michaels "stared at (him) blankly like he wanted to kill (him).” Lightening the whole mood, though, Rebecca eventually sat up off the stretcher she was lay on and retorted, "Is that the best you got, Jericho?"

What a woman.
