Chris Jericho “Victim” Mocks Controversy Over Comments

In a You Tube video, “Mr. Lobo” mocks the Chris Jericho situation with a comedic promo directed at the former WWE Undisputed Champion.

“Certainly, with everything else happening in the world, Mr. Lobo is glad that you’ve chosen to cover what Americans really care about–drunken celebrities embarrassing themselves and/or other people in public,” Mr. Lobo says at the beginning. He then details the ways in which Chris Jericho “embarrassed” himself over the course of the Film Festival session.

Responding to the “Hadji” situation, for instance, Mr. Lobo cracks, “I was shocked, befuddled and probably would be deeply hurt if I were actually of Middle Eastern descent.” He uses the same joke structure for mocking Chris Jericho’ use of the word “fag.”

Clearly distancing himself from the idea that he was offended, Lobo turns the stunt into an angle.

“I issue this challenge, Chris Irvine/Lionheart/Fozzy/Y2J Jericho, I will ‘wrassle’ you anywhere, anytime,” said Mr. Lobo, before specifying that he means a thumb-wrestling match.
