According to several sources within WWE, the incident with Chris
Jericho denigrating the Brazilian flag at WWE's 5/24 Sao Paulo live
event, and his subsequent suspension, is completely legitimate and is
said to be a major issue for WWE at the moment.
Jericho was nearly arrested for the incident, and
several within WWE feel the incident will irrevocably effect the
company's relationship with the country of Brazil.
"This was not a case of Shawn Michaels sticking a Canadian flag up his
nose," a source said. "This is a different era, one in which you
don't do things like this. You'd think WWE or Jericho would have learned
from the mistake Dave "Fit" Finlay made."
Chris Jericho has been suspended indefinitely
