Starting in March 1997, WCW produced annual 'Spring Break' episodes of Monday Nitro. When asked whether or not talent were happy at being in such a party atmosphere, Kevin Nash said they were, but then went on to tell quite the story. The fun atmosphere turned sour thanks to one fan.

Whilst delivering a promo, Nash was shocked upon feeling a rock bounce off the side of his head. Sean Waltman had grabbed a water gun, but decided to fill it up with blue paint instead. Spraying it out into the crowd, Waltman doused unhappy fans in the liquid. That's probably why one kid decided to hurl a rock at the wrestlers.

After Nash had deciphered who the guilty party was, he chased after him and had the teenager arrested. Shortly afterwards, the fan's parents decided to press legal action against the WCW star, but the situation was settled out of court for a measly $1.

In a hilarious moment, Nash crafted a letter to the kid in red crayon, before receiving one back.
