9. Vinnie Jones
But Rooney wasnt the first footballer to pick a fight with a WWE Superstar. Back in 1998, when Rooney was just 13 years old, ex-Wimbledon midfielder Vinnie Jones made an appearance at the Capital Carnage pay-per-view in London. Jones had been a part of Wimbledons famed crazy gang, making him a perfect fit for the Attitude Era of the late 90s. The footballer-turned actor was booked as the special enforcer for the Fatal Fourway main event, which pitted Stone Cold Steve Austin against Kane, The Undertaker and Mankind. But a scuffle with the Big Boss Man earlier in the night saw Jones red-carded and evacuated from the building before the match had even begun. Of course, in true Attitudinal fashion, Jones
returned at the end of the show to help Austin dish out a Stunner to the Big Boss Man, before the evening closed with Jones, Austin and Earl Hebner sharing a well-deserved beer together. Its almost a shame that the Attitude Era was so eventful that moments like this are often forgotten.
