In an interview for UK’s The Sun, Jerry “The King” Lawler was asked about the Chris Jericho altercation. The King shared his thoughts and also what Vince McMahon thought of the incident:
Did you see that Chris Jericho clip on our website or YouTube? What did you think of it?
I have not seen it but I heard them talking about it last week at the show – Vince was kinda chuckling about it.
Vince and I were talking and Jericho walked by and he said: “Watch out! Jericho will hit you! He’ll knock you right down!”
Then he adds: “Especially if you’re a girl!”
Everybody is having a joke about it and to me it’s not a big deal, because that used to be very prevalent in the past.
We used to be able to get the fans so riled up that they literally wanted to physically attack you after the matches.
That hasn’t happened in a long time, so it’s almost like hats off to Chris Jericho – for doing his job.
He’s being the best bad guy that he can be.
And it’s working as he’s making the people so mad at him that they want to get physical with him themselves.
