Bret Hart assailant Zach Madsen also amateur MMA fighter, bizarre Twitter user
It turns out the man who attacked wrestling legend Bret Hart at Saturday’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in New York is no stranger to stepping into a ring.
Of course, he’s probably a little more accustomed to only fighting one person at a time.
According to CBSSports.com, Zach Madsen is the man responsible for starting the wild melee, where scripted performances suddenly became very real. Madsen, 26, was eventually detained by the New York Police Department and is expected to face criminal charges for his actions.
Apparently, it’s not Madsen’s first brush with the authorities, either.
According to Omaha.com, “Madsen is awaiting trial for violation of protection order. Haris Talundzic, who is a mixed martial arts fighter, obtained the protection order from a Lancaster County judge because he said Madsen had been stalking him and trying provoke a fight.”
Talundzic stated that he sought the protection order because he “became concerned about Madsen’s mental stability.”
Madsen – who owns a 2-1 record as an amateur fighter – and Talundzic reportedly trained together at a Lincoln gym. Madsen picked up a pair of wins to kick off his amateur career in 2017 under the Dynasty Combat Sports banner before suffering a submission loss in his most recent outing, in March 2018.
Prior to Saturday’s attack, Madsen posted an incredibly bizarre series of tweets directed at various WWE talent, including some sent while apparently en route to the ceremony.
