25+ Years Later, Stone Cold Steve Austin Thanks Fellow WWE Legend For Saving His Life In the Ring: “You Never Want This to Happen”

Whenever the WWE universe thinks about raising hell and laying down a barrage of beatdowns, there is one man that comes to their mind. The one WWE superstar that captivated the audience with his anti-heroism, defiance, and stomping mudholes frequently was none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin. But would it come to know as a shocker if “Hell Raiser” himself needed protection at one time? After all, he is human, and sometimes even the toughest S.O.B. in WWE got into situations that needed him being bailed out by others.

Who saved Stone Cold Steve Austin’s life inside the squared circle?

Stone Cold Steve Austin was an integral part of WWE’s Attitude Era, reigning as the poster boy. He was a part of one of the most elite class of WWE superstars. The names included his greatest rival The Rock, Kane, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, and Triple H. Throughout the era Austin often found himself pitted against The Game. The duo was a part of many great matches and storylines.

However, Triple H once had to break character during one of his bouts against Austin. The instance came at a WWE house show back in the late-1990s in Germany. The match ended with Austin pinning Triple H for the win, only to be attacked by a fan who broke the security and entered the ring. The current WWE CCO immediately came to Steve’s rescue and retaliated by taking down the fan. The fan was later escorted out of the ring by security.

Right after, Triple H himself exited the ring and Austin was seen posing for the fans with the WWE Championship.

Stone Cold Steve Austin revealed the entire instance on Twitter recently. He thanked The Game for protecting him back then, while also highlighting such incidents could happen every now and then.

As mentioned, both Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H were mostly each other’s bitter rivals and battled each other in various high-stakes matches.

However, in 2001, both WWE superstars formed an alliance that was called ‘The Two-Man Power Trip.”

Triple H and Stone Cold turned from bitter enemies to tag team partners

This came right after Austin infamously turned heel at WrestleMania 17 and aligned himself with his former rival Vince McMahon.

The powerful team even managed to win the World tag team titles together. During that same time, Austin was the reigning WWE champion and Triple H held the WWE Intercontinental championship. However, their run as a tag team came to an end in only two months.

So now that we know about Triple H coming to Austin’s rescue, here is a quick question. What is your take on Triple H breaking character during a live show to save Austin from being attacked? Let us know in the comments!
