Each and every hardcore WWE fan at some point in time has tried to mimic their favorite wrestler. Be it tearing one’s tee like The Hulkster or Raising one’s eyebrow like Dwayne Johnson, we all have done that. Just like a Hogan fan who tore his tee during a fight in a casino and instantly regretted it.

Hence when NFL star Stefon Diggs scored a touchdown during his game against the Miami Dolphins, he only felt appropriate to celebrate like his favorite WWE superstar, Steve Austin. And so he went straight to the crowd, took two canned beers, opened them up, and clanged them just like Steve Austin did in the Attitude Era days. Buffalo Bills fans went crazy when Diggs began celebrating like this. He clanged beers several times before throwing them back towards the crowd. Sadly, such behavior involving alcohol is not condoned by the governing body of the NFL. As a result, they fined the NFL star $13,659 for his erratic behavior.
