Wait I thought you can do things like this as long as it is involved in entertainment, I thought that was the reason Germany didn't arrest JBL for goose-stepping because he did it in an entertainment setting and not for the hell of it in the streets? I swear the world is just getting too damn sensitive.

Now Jericho is suspended who is gonna face Orton now? Time to move a ton of nikkas from NXT and FCW on tv now.

I don't know what happened with Chris Jericho in Brazil so I can't comment. He's a very good longtime friend and I always wish him the best.

My comments below are only about my own history and nothing to do with Chris, I just want to answer again what happened in Germany with several years perspective.

As far as a lot of folks bringing up the incident of me in Germany I understand and I have gone over this many times. 'Back in the day' wrestlers flipped off crowds, spit at them got into fights with them, etc-was a different era. Me doing a goose step years ago, in Germany to make the fans mad was something everyone did (in fact so much that it had quit getting heat years before), was it right-no, it was just cheap heat from a different era same as yelling crude names at crowd. The night I did it that became famous there were several other guys who had done it, I had been on tours and I lived in Germany for two years and had seen when every match would do it. It had become a real cheap heat getter-that no longer worked because everyone was doing it. Fritz Von Erich and Barron Von Ratszche had made a living off of it-but like trying to make a living off of Vietnam or Civil War references it's time had passed.

It's been pointed out that I wasn't even the only guy in the match that night who had done it. It got zero heat that night, wasn't even worth doing. Again, right or wrong-everyone did it-and it's time had passed and it was time to be smarter about getting heat just like flipping off the crowd's time had passed as well.

Problem came when a reporter (from my understanding) who had a vendetta against Vince sent an email to the network I had just signed a deal with-they didn't want any controversy and fired me. Best thing that ever happened to my wrestling career as I got tons of media and real heat off of it-in the corporate world of today it would be all negative and I would probably be suspended or fired-and rightfully so, it wasn't that long ago but was a different era. Vince explained to the network that it was just part of a fictional show like Sgt Shultz in Hogan's Heroes, but the folks there at the time didn't get it.

This event helped make the JBL character as it got me so much main stream media, which also had a negative side as some never got that it was part of a fictional show.

There were Internet reports that I was being deported and charged, all ridiculous charges. That was never brought up. It was no big deal in Germany as it happened every wrestling match and no one there complained-it was so common in German wrestling that no one there even noticed. I let those charges go unanswered as it was getting me massive heat. I even suggested a shirt "You got fired" but WWE felt like it would die quickly and by the time shirt came out no one would care, which was true.

I gave Eddie's mom a heart attack on Mother's Day and tried to run over Cena with a car-personally I think that was worse, ha, but somehow folks realize that's a work but some things aren't-nature of the beast.

It still gets brought up every once in a while, good to be remembered:smile:

Also, Chris apologized immediately for what he did as requested. I think he was trying to get heat and made a mistake as he says-this is something that a few years ago would have been status quo-times have changed and us old guys make mistakes. Love Chris and support everything he does!

Ah, thanks....didn't notice the link under the embedded vid

Got the crowd to clap.....but kayfabe OUT the window :laugh:

That's an apology, but not a real apology.
This could easily be bigger heat in the future, if they want to go that route.

I'm thinking this is worked.

One, I don't think angry Brazilian cops would've given him that choice (apologize or go to jail). And if they did there would've been a lotta negotiating beforehand.

Two, if it was that much of a big deal the crowd would've been heated too, but they seemed to be having fun.

Three, indefinite suspension for almost causing an international incident? nikkas have been outright fired for less :what:

Four, none of this has been posted on corporate yet.
