Even the most popular of wrestlers will never be adored by each and every wrestling fan.

A prime example of this comes from a 1998 WWF house show in Berlin, Germany. While 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was the hottest star on the planet at that point, one fan wasn't drinking the Kool-Aid when it came to the Texas Rattlesnake.

After Stone Cold had beaten Triple H at that live event, the fan in question decided to storm the ring in an ill-advised attempt to attack Austin. With the Game having clocked this invader, Triple H suplexed the guy to the mat and laid a beating on him - all while referee Mike Chioda put the boots to the fallen fella.

Whether this fan was pro Triple H or just vehemently against Austin is unknown, but his decision to venture into the ring resulted in a pretty brutal beatdown from Hunter and Chioda. As for Austin, he largely stayed out of the situation, before then doing his famous middle finger turnbuckle celebration when things finally calmed down.
