Location: East Rutherford, New Jersey

Event: Monday Night Raw

Date: 1999

This one was covered up pretty well. 

The Rock and Mankind were delivering a promo in the ring when Jericho interrupted and stood at the top of the ramp. It was at this point that a dedicated Y2J fan decided to make his move. He was dressed up in a Jericho costume, complete with a silver shirt and a crazy hairstyle, and he made it all the way into the ring. Fortunately, Mankind headed him off. 

The cameras cut away, and the audience was subjected to several seconds of awkward silence. Eventually, however, the wrestlers composed themselves, and they joked about the interruption before continuing with their angle.
