Ohio State strength coach and former linebacker Anthony Schlegel laid an absolute smackdown on a fan who decided to run on the field during Saturday night's game against Cincinnati.

In case you missed the hit, here is a video including slow motion on the slam-down.

Videos and photos of the tackle have been popping up all over the Internet, including this one from a Redditt user, fleeflicker, which makes the connection between Schlegel's tackle and The Rock's classic wrestling maneuver, the Rock Bottom.

Except the fan was replaced by a man who knows the Rock Bottom all too well -- John Cena.

Schlegel's rendition of the Rock Bottom was so impressive that it even attracted the attention of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Game ball? That's the bottom line, 'cuz Stone Cold said so!
