You can count on one hand the number of wrestlers who are as adept at drawing a crowd reaction as Chris Jericho, but he took it to a new level in Brazil a few years ago.

Jericho was wrestling in Sao Paolo when a Brazilian flag was thrown in the ring. He rolled it into a ball, kicked it into the crowd, and what looked like a harmless heel move quickly descended into chaos.

The crowd were so incited that police genuinely had to halt the match and force Jericho to apologise to prevent a riot, but it didn't end there. Jericho required a police escort just to make it out of the arena, and Vince McMahon suspended him for 30 days.
