10 Times Wrestling Fans Put Themselves In Harm's Way
7. An Old-Timer Stands Up To Chris Jericho
As is tradition after a WWE event has finished up, the final thing those in attendance will see is one of the top stars of the day (usually the top babyface) wishing them on their way as a prompt to get fans to head for the exits and vacate the building.
Back on one November 2009 night, it was the villainous Chris Jericho who was tasked with bidding the audience goodbye following a SmackDown and ECW taping. In typical Jericho fashion, the multiple-time World Champion began berating the audience before singling out one elderly gentleman who had made his way to the barricade.
Undeterred by Jericho's mocking vitriol, the old timer boldly confronted the future Le Champion, to the point that he seemed to be offering the Canadian out for a fight. Ever the opportunist, Jericho spun this situation into a ridiculously entertaining few minutes of back-and-forth with his veteran rival - with the old lad not backing down in the slightest.
From there, Jericho had the fan, his buddy and the entire crowd "kicked out" of the arena.
