When Hulk Hogan turned heel and joined Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to form the nWo at WCW Bash at the Beach '96, it sent shockwaves through the wrestling landscape for years to come.

And while Hulk Hogan's heel turn is a story well-documented over the years, what often gets overlooked is what happened directly afterward!

While Hulk Hogan played the role of turncoat to perfection, one “fan” took things to heart and retaliated.

You’re not allowed to throw stuff at the wrestlers. And you’re CERTAINLY not allowed to go over the barricade into the ring!“
