Bret Hart tackled by fan during WWE Hall of Fame Induction Speech (see staff post)

[Lonewolf]

I've been watching a lot of old Nitros and yes he would have definitely done that in 96 and would have gotten a just as bad if not worse beat down for doing it.

I remember hearing a work story turned into a shoot in the 70s when I fan jumped the rails with a gun to protect wrestler who was "blind" because of a previous heel attack. The story was funny and put the baby face in a weird spot but the situation was defused quickly.

The "blind" wrestler was Junk Yard Dog and the heel was Michael "PS" Hayes, it happened in Mid-south at a LA venue in the 80's. JYD had been "blinded" with Freebird hair cream at a previous event and was sitting ringside with sunglasses and cane when Hayes (who was having a match) came toward him threateningly. A fan jumped the railing saying "don't worry Dog, I got him!" and drew a gun on Hayes, putting JYD in a tight spot. Fortunately security saved him from having to either break kayfabe or let Hayes get shot.

That's the exact story!

Damn, I heard that story a year or two ago and I couldn't recall the story, who was involved, and who told it but it always stuck with me.

Guy had a protection order against him from someone else, and is an incel who kept tweet raging about the main eventers of Wrestlemania being women.

So not a fan that decided to do stupid shit, it was someone that planned an attack and carried it out.

Dude "felt like it was the right time" to go after Bret. Absolutely insane. We're really lucky this didn't end up being a whole lot worse than it was. Poor Bret. Glad he seemed to look okay last night.

 

[ramoisdead]

Not only is the guy out on bond but his justification was "I felt it was the right time to punch Bret"??

Guy should have been roughed up some more.

 

[mbpm]

The right time?

This guy deserves everything that happened to him.

Anyone remember how much CM Punk was sued for when this happened?

Spoiler

He wasn't.

It wouldn't surprise me if that fan got some kind of compensation from WWE in order to avoid a lawsuit in exchange for signing an NDA. Punk punched the wrong person in retaliation for being pushed from behind, which isn't clear in that footage.

 

[Jmdajr]

Late on this.

Total bullshit and dude got what he deserved.

 

[The Albatross]

Guy seems completely fucking nuts.

Should've attacked Brutus Beefcake, just to ramp up the "WTF" factor of this story. He could claim that he thought he was the Zodiac.

He don't want beef with the Tampa Mafia.

He couldn't make bail. Good.

And as expected, no repercussion for Dash.

This guy has the Twitter of a serial killer, let's all just be glad he didn't somehow sneak a weapon in the area.

 

[SapientWolf]

These types of incidents are becoming me mentally fatiguing to me. Even going through the thread is like trudging through treacle. Ultimately I just wish people were better.

Bret Hart's Attacker Claims 'It Was The Right Moment' To Cops

Click to shrink...

Zachary Maden, the unhinged fan who charged at WWE legend Bret Hart during this year's Hall of Fame ceremony, was arraigned in court yesterday. Prosecutors claimed that he told police after the incident that he "felt like it was the right moment" to rush into the ring and tackle the cancer survivor in front of at least 100 wrestlers. The Brooklyn judge ordered police to hold Zachary on $1,500 bond after charging him with assault and criminal trespassing.

A WWE hall of fame is like having a General Hospital hall of fame.

Most workplaces have an employee of the month or year, so it's not really all that different.

That's great! Triple H starts beating him and then I expected the ref to try to pull Triple H off to separate them, but instead, he starts beating on the guy as well.
