During this past Saturday’s 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, former WWE champion and legend Bret Hart was attacked while giving a speech.
Hart, already in the hall of fame, was being inducted as part of The Hart Foundation with the late Jim Neidhart.
According to a report by CBS New York, the person behind the attack is Zachary Madsen, a 26-year-old from Nebraska who has competed in MMA. Madsen has found three times as an amateur, going 2-1.
Madsen used his Twitter account to voice his displeasure over the WWE placing Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch in the main event of Sunday night’s WrestleMania 35 event. Rousey’s husband, Travis Browne, was one of the first people to help subdue Madsen inside the ring after he went after Hart.
