Think pro wrestling is fake? Tell that to 20-year-old Ashley Levey.
Levey was hit in the face by WWE wrestler Chris Jericho outside the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia on Saturday, witnesses told the Times Colonist.
According to the report, several hundred witnesses were gathered near Jericho, and some began heckling him after he lost a bout in Saturday's WWE event. Jericho launched into a profanity-laced tirade, a rant that ended with him taking a swing and knocking a female fan to the ground. A video captured the entire incident, though it was unclear from the footage whether Jericho actually "punched" the woman.
"I was really surprised that a pro wrestler would do that with everyone watching," one witness told the newspaper. "And hit a girl, what are you thinking?"
Victoria police confirmed an incident involving Jericho, but the wrestler left the parking lot before police arrived on the scene.
According to the report, fans were deriding Jericho, using expletives of their own.
"You're an insult to Canadians you (expletive)," one heckler shouted, according to the report.
Jericho tried to get arena security to stop the hecklers, at one point yelling, "Do your (expletive) job — get this stupid (expletive) out of here."
WWE spokesman Kevin Hennessy told the Times Colonist on Sunday that the female fan provoked the incident. He rejected the allegation that Jericho punched the woman, calling the term "a little extreme."
"I didn't see him actually take a swing," he said, referring to the video.
