During last night’s (Sat. April 6, 2019) 2019 WWE Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, Bret Hart was attacked by a fan from the crowd. The man entered the ring, tackled Hart, before several WWE personnel hit the ring to aid Hart. Hart’s assailant was beaten badly by WWE stars and others, before being escorted out.
According to CBS New York, Hart’s assailant has been identified as 26-year-old Zachary Madsen from Nebraska. The Los Angeles Times’ Arash Markazi reports that Madsen has been charged with 2 counts of 3rd-degree assault and disorderly conduct. However, CBS New York reports that Madsen was taken to the New York Police Department’s 78th Precinct in Brooklyn, and was charged with two counts of assault and trespassing.
Madsen reportedly caused minor injuries to a security guard who was trying to hold him down. He also punched Hart at least once, however, he did not require medical attention. According to a Facebook page that seems to be affiliated with Madsen, he is an amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. Also, his Twitter account, @iAmMad______sen, featured several odd Tweets heading into WrestleMania.

I'm not sure what's more baffling: the fact that this fight hasn't been made official yet, or the fact that women are the main event of #WrestleMania35
Talk about a major setback for the human race.

Please keep in mind that my check engine light is on, I've driven well over 5000 miles without an oil change and I don't have a GPS. Additionally, the only bigger joke than my car, is my sense of direction.
It might be easier to book me a flight @VinceMcMahon YOU have 24-30 hrs
