Controversy never leaves WWE! Recently, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho and former Cruiserweight Champion Gregory “The Hurricane” Helms were arrested by the cops at a petrol station in the early hours of last Wednesday ( 27.01.2010) morning. Police accused them of being “extremely intoxicated” in a public place.

The news was first flashed by TMZ, a popular American gossip website. The report stated that Jericho, the 39 year old first ever “Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion” and Gregory Helms, the 35 year old “longest reigning” WWE Cruiserweight Champion were taken into custody in Kenton County, Kentucky at around 5 a.m. for “alcohol intoxication in a public place.” These WWE superstars were questioned, photographed and later released on bail for £75 ($120).

Though they were arrested in a petrol station and were not exactly ‘driving’ while being arrested, the brand they are working for is a bit embarrassed with their wrestlers’ actions. Neither of the superstars or any spokesperson of the brand were available to comment on the incident. WWE is more of an entertainment show these days with a growing popularity among kids; and such an event will certainly not add to the “Mr. Clean” image that the brand puts on or at least strives to!
