10 Wrestlers Who Were ARRESTED In The Middle Of Major Storylines
9. Chris Jericho
As one of the longest-serving names in mainstream wrestling today, Chris Jericho has seen it all and done it all. Given that he started performing at a time when wrestlers were much more wild than they are today, it's no surprise that he's had his share of run-ins with the law.
As well as getting into trouble by kicking a flag in Brazil, Jericho (real name Christopher Irvine) was actually arrested in January 2010. He was travelling with fellow ex-WCW man Gregory 'Hurricane' Helms in a taxi in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, when the two allegedly got into a scrap.
Both men were arrested on charges relating to public drunkenness. They were bailed out by Christian and CM Punk, which surprisingly didn't come up during Jericho's feud with Punk two years later.
This arrest took place less than a week before the Royal Rumble. This was the show at which Edge, Jericho's former tag team partner, returned from injury. The two would go on to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXVI, which would have been a lot harder if Y2J had been in the slammer.
