10 More Times Wrestlers Broke Kayfabe

3. Robinson Makes The List

And the moral of this story is don't piss off Chris Jericho in the middle of a match or he'll come after you...

During an encounter between Y2J and Neville on RAW, The Man That Gravity Forgot went for a Baseball Slide through his opponent's legs. However, Nev got his leg caught on the canvas and ended up rolling his ankle. It was obvious for all to see he was legitimately hurt and it was almost obvious for all to see that the two wrestlers and referee Charles Robinson were conversing about it in the ring.

Neville can be clearly heard letting Jericho know of his injury with Chris Bon Jovi asking both the Geordie and Robinson if he's OK. Jericho can then be seen muttering something to Robinson, presumably "I'll roll him up to end this now so he can go get treatment." However, the message wasn't received as when Chris did, Robinson only counted to two before stalling, practically forcing Neville to kick out to spare his blushes.

Angry that his demand hadn't been met, Jericho sprang up off the mat and got in Robinson's face, pushing the ref and shouting "he's hurt!" This could have just been the quick-thinking Jericho finding another way to end the match abruptly after the first failed attempt, but the way he could be seen shouting "he told you he broke his f**king ankle," "I told you he broke his f**king ankle" and Charles replying "motherf**ker I didn't hear you," it was clear things got very real very quickly.

The pair confirmed on Talk is Jericho they were legitimately mad and their altercation was a shoot, taking kayfabe and changing it to reality thanks to a malfunction at the junction, if you will...
