Hart was on stage with his niece, Natalya, Neidhart's daughter and also a WWE wrestler, who also fell to the ring floor as Madsen tackled Hart.

"I'm so proud of my uncle @BretHart tonight during our HOF ceremony," Natalya tweeted after the event. "Bret is a cancer survivor, a stroke survivor and one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He didn't deserve to be attacked or have his moment or my dad's diminished. We got it back on track. Thank you, guys."
Security held Madsen down until police arrived and arrested him. A security guard suffered minor injuries, according to CNN affiliate WLNY.
Madsen faces two counts of third-degree assault, criminal trespass, and one other misdemeanor charge, according to NYPD.

Hope his face looked like a Chicago-style pizza.
That looked a whole lot like their Big Time Wrestling shows used to. It looked staged with that huge pile-on of middle-aged men in too tight suits. Maybe not intentionally, but the event became quite entertaining because of this.
Most of the veteran wrestlers I know of, had a very good sense of humor and drama. So who knows? They love to shock.
Saw this happen last night, at first thought it was a work, I mean someone just jumping the rail and attacking Bret(Who is a cancer and stroke survivor) but I guess it was legit..Ronda Rousey’s husband Travis Browne kicked the guys ass
Absolutely one of the all-time greats.
One article I read said they took the tackler behind stage. I hope he was tuned-up real good before being turned over to the cops.
He looks like a typical looking leftist, who else would wear a stupid looking hat like that
A lot of people got their licks in before handing him over to security.
Another angle. Bret Hart’s attacker gets a punch to the face...

Supposedly this is the guy who did it

Tried? Think he did but didn’t end well.
Why was the attacker still conscious when hauled out of the arena?
Hell...the security had to come to his rescue. ROF!
took their time too...
They were a great team.
I first thought the entire thing was another Vince gag...but that punch to the kisser looked real and HARD!
