10 Times Wrestling Fans F***ed Around & Found Out

Triple H once experienced a months-long "burial" for breaking kayfabe on a house show, but within two years, he was back at it yet again. This time though, the rewards and kudos were obvious.

After losing to Stone Cold Steve Austin early into his peak run as the biggest star in the industry, Hunter was moved to rush back into the ring again as a ringside fan made it all the way into the ring and appeared ready to pounce - with either love or hate, that we'll never know, not that it matters - on 'The Rattlesnake'.

It's striking to see all that...striking, but in defence of 'The Game' and the referee, arena staff are miles and miles off the pace on it. Despite constant attempts to subdue the man with very real-looking violence, they seemingly assume it's all part of the show until Austin waves them over to take control.

The Hall Of Famer himself detailed the incident on his podcast after old fan footage went viral, and his instincts were (as usual) correct - the 'Toughest Son Of A B*tch' moniker might have taken a beating by backing away from a potential skirmish, but the top babyface swinging for a punter could and would have been even worse.
