On June 9, 1997, Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin faced off at the King Of The Ring PPV. During the match an obvious HBK fan jumps the guardrail. The fan happened to be a special olympian who wanted to help him while Austin got the upperhand. After security caught him and he start struggling the security decided to carry him away. His mom then jumped the rail and argued with the security. This quickly grabbed both wrestlers attention. While Michaels wa down Austin quickly told the ref what to do. Before this could happen Michaels quickly went over and got the security off. Playing the bad guy Stone Cold atttacked Michaels in the process. After a few moves, Michaels yet again went to the security and told them all to leave him alone. Once they did he walked him towards the backstage area. To make matter worse the special olympian tripped over the camera wires and immediately waved the camera man away. Michaels' walk back included a well diserved applause. here is a video of it

Yes, I do remember this and it was a class act by Shawn Michaels at the time. However, I always liked Austin's response by inviting Shawn back in the ring and applauding his heroic efforts.

Yeah I remember watching live and thinking "what the hell is that kid doing?". I loved that no matter what, Shawn made sure to get back over and make sure he was alright. Class act.
And for Austin to then invite Shawn back in the ring was classic. He stayed in character while a serious situation was occurring and I loved it.
