Who the hell is Chris Jericho and why should I give a shyte what he thinks?
Never mind. Just looked him up. He's a moron. P
Wow! This was a blast from the past(WCW is
loooooooong gone!). Chris Jericho was playing the classic "heel". Even though he is Canadian, he was a "villain" at the time, so he would try to get cheap heat by any means necessary. If that meant belittleing his home country, then that is what he would do. Since the show took place in Toronto that particular week, it was pretty obvious that he would go that route.
It's a cycle in the wrestling world. There was a time in WWE that he joined up with other Canadians and formed a group. It had Edge, Christian, Lance Storm, etc. in it, and they entered the ring waving the Canadian flag. It was all in good fun in the end.
Actually, the last I watched wrestling, Vince McMahan had the Canadian wrestlers get introduced as being from the American cities that they currently lived in rather than what their true nationalities were. For example, Edge was hailed as being from Atlanta even though he was still Canadian. I thought it was pretty lame on McMahan's part, but what can you do?
This post is for anyone that didn't know who Chris Jericho is (was).
