Whenever wrestlers get together on Steve Austin's Unleashed podcast, the banter begins to flow and several previously-unknown stories pop up. Recently, Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman was Austin's guest, and the pair discussed everything from their respective runs on top to Waltman's relationship with Joanie 'Chyna' Laurer.

As they talked about Chyna, Austin remembered hitting the female with a Stone Cold Stunner on a house show, causing a fan to leap the barrier and attempt to attack him. It was Triple H who apprehended the spectator, saving Stone Cold from having to do anything. This story prompted Waltman to tell one of his own.

During a house show six-man tag bout in 1999 (also involving Austin, The Rock, The APA, and Road Dogg), a fan jumped the barricade and tried to enter the ring. The Rock was lining up a punt to the intruder, before Road Dogg stepped in and hustled the man out of the ring.

In effect, Road Dogg stopped the guy from spending the evening in hospital, because Waltman claims that Rocky was in no mood to play nice with the invader.
