Chris Jericho Reflects On The Time Vince McMahon Saved Him From Being Jailed In Brazil

Years ago, Chris Jericho disrespected the Brazilian flag at a non-televised WWE Live event and now Y2J has reflected on how Vince McMahon saved him from what could have been a very unpleasant experience.

Chris Jericho is currently doing his own thing outside of WWE and while a return to the company somewhere down the line is inevitable, he currently seems pretty happy with how things are going for him.

During a recent interview to discuss his upcoming cruise, Jericho reflected on the time he was almost arrested in Brazil for disrespecting the country's flag during a non-televised event in the country (he was a heel at the time so you can see why he thought that was the right thing to do). While Vince McMahon was furious with him, Jericho confirms that he has him to thank for keeping him out of prison.


"About six, seven years ago I kicked a flag in Brazil which is a felony, which no one told us beforehand. Like, it’s really bad. Long story short, the army wanted me arrested and taken to the jungle prison. He was really mad. Very furious. He actually suspended me for it. But in the meantime he got me out of there within hours. He’s like ‘you’re getting out of there now.’ So we went straight to the airport, got on the plane and took off and went to some other country. We weren’t supposed to leave until the next day and he said ‘you’re leaving now.’"

That sounds like quite the misadventure and one Y2J is no doubt grateful to his former boss for. Are you excited to see him return to WWE somewhere down the line? Share your thoughts below.
