According to a report from the local ABC affiliate in Lincoln, Nebraska the man who attacked Bret the Hitman Hart at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Zachary Madsen has been described as “similar to a mass shooter” by a former stalking victim.
A former MMA fighter that used to train with Madsen, Harris Talundzic, reportedly the reason for Zachary’s three arrests all of which are in relation to stalking and violations of protection orders.
Harris used to train with Zachary and when Harris left the gym they trained at, Zachary reportedly became obsessed with him.
Zach posted a series of social media posts around Harris, some of which included profanity and violent messages.
Madsen reportedly did not take these protection orders seriously, reportedly sharing one of the restraining orders in a social media post with the caption “lol. This means nothing to me.”
We will have more information on him as more becomes available. In the meantime, Bret Hart has responded to the attack via his Instagram page:
