Dude's initial stroke years ago was triggered by a rather innocuous off his bicycle onto grass. When he came back to WWE some years after that and did an angle they made absolutely sure he didn't take so much as a bump onto a stack of pillows.

Bret Hart tackled by fan during WWE Hall of Fame Induction Speech (see staff post)
- Thread starter CountAntonio
- Start date
Was it a Rollins fan? Hart said some stuff about Rollins when he broke the nose of Cena and injured Sting within a few months.
You don't want to mess with Bret, who has a history of heart and concussion problems, with Travis Browne (UFC Fighter), Bobby Lashley (former Bellator Fighter) and Heath Slater (former Golden Gloves boxer) running at you. Because you're getting more lighted up than Las Vegas.
He deserves the beatdown, he's not getting killed, they know the limits, but he's getting fucked and jailed.

I don't like the chanting and I'm not an advocate for violence, but in this particular situation with that particular man in Bret Hart... I'm happy he got his face beaten. Like someone said, Bret is a fucking old man who is a stroke and cancer survivor and he has difficulty walking on his own now. The fact is that a fall like Bret took there is all it could take to trigger another stroke and possibly die. I think him getting his face punched in a few times is good enough punishment for potentially causing something serious to happen to Bret.
It really all started with Goldberg knocking his head off with a stiff kick
Yeah, that was why he didn't take a bump during his last time in the WWE, he could kill him.
Guy should have got the Hercules Hernandez treatment: Sat in a chair in the back and open hand slapped so hard he flies out of the seat, does a flip backwards into the brick wall way behind him, and falls into a heap on his head.

Those punches must have felt like hammers.

For Bret Hart?
Yes.
Just gets to me.
Bret is my guy
He gave me 15 min of his personal time to talk one on one with him at a hockey game when I was a kid, when he could have just stayed in his private box.
It was just me and one other kid who waited outside the stairs to his box and begged his security guy to ask asked if he'd come down... and you know what the security guard went up and asked him and he did.
And it wasn't for a group... it wasn't to sign a bunch of autographs....it was for 2 people. And, after the other kid left, happy just with a hi and a signature, Bret took 15 solo min just to talk to me, a one on one conversation, uninterrupted.
And I was just a stupid little mark who said stupid little mark things like Vince is an asshole and I hope you kick Goldberg's ass... but he still gave me that time and played along. I can't remember a thing we talked about but for that time I felt like nothing else mattered to Bret but talking to me.
Fuck, this dude who had suffered so much, lost so much is paying tribute with his niece to his fallen brother in law and some prick attacks him.
So yeah this shit makes me emotional and I'm not going to feel bad about that.

Niece, not wife. This induction was basically their way of inducting (her father) Jim Neidhart.
Yeah, I mentioned it in my original post that stiff kick left Bret with a quarter sized hole in muscle in the back of his neck that never healed and then he ended up getting concussed a couple more times in that match because he was on autopilot IIRC.
Wife? Nattie is Bret's niece, a WWE wrestler and she was up there to honour her dad, Bret's brother-in-law, Jim Neidhart, who passed away last year.
Ah, oop, yeah. I don't know why I said wife.
Yeah, it was a brain fart on my part.
Already edited.
Loved reading this, always loved The Hitman, I think he contributed to my current love of hot pink in adulthood haha
Brets had to deal with a lot of heartache over the years. You look at most members of the hart foundations in the attitude era and they all dead besides Bret. All of them were close to Bret. It's like all the members of DX dying and HBK is the only one left. He's also suffered from the health issues. No idea why anyone would want to attack him.
They drove into a funeral procession after being directed away. You make it sound like the dangerous driving was a result of them being mistaken for loyalist attackers, rather than the other way round.
He really cares about his fans.
I'm so happy as a trans woman that in my picture with him I can convince myself that I looked like androgynous enough kid that I can keep that picture and look at it fondly
My mistake for misreading, I took it literally. I can see your intentions now.
Kinda hope the guys sues. He is an asshat for doing what he did obviously, but there is no excuse for the beating he took. Especially considering he wasn't even trying to fight back.
Those punches could have caused some serious damage.

Assault:
"In many states, 3rd degree assault is prosecuted as a Class A misdemeanor. These types of crimes are punishable by a maximum of one year in a county jail and a criminal fine, which can be up to $1,000"
Disordely Conduct:
"For less serious violations, charges can result in a simple citation, accompanied by a small fine. Other disorderly conduct cases can result in misdemeanor charges. These types of charges may be accompanied by short jail time (usually some months, up to one year maximum), as well as more fines."
Well considering he attacked someone, this line kinda has no meaning.
Depends on a lot of factors,possibly 1yr+ in jail,community service and a few thousand in fines.
This type of behaviour needs to be made an example of to put off copycats (and apparently this wasn't this guy's first time jumping the barricade). I hope the judge is a big Bret mark and throws the book at him.
I'm impressed others managed to get upset about the payback without explicitly hoping the man who attacked Bret profits.... you found a way.
Congratulations
All things considered, he's getting off light. Glad he was charged at least.
If Bret Hart wants to press charges then I am all for that. The guy is an absolute moron for even trying what he did. I am just saying the beating he took as he was being removed was not necessary. And it wasn't. They could have easily removed him without savagely beating him like they did in the process.
He's definitely getting one year in prison, considering Bret's condition.
It kind of was, actually. Some context for the people who don't follow wrestling, but *anyone* who jumps the barricades at a wrestling event is treated as a potential threat. None of the talent or staff know who they are or what their intentions are, so they have to assume the worst. And in this case (thankfully) the worst was avoided. I'm not sure what this guy was thinking (if he was thinking at all), but he's lucky he didn't get worse overall.
Bret has a history of health problems and concussion.
the invader deserves everything he got outside of the ring

And yet you opened with I kinda hope he wins a lawsuit and gets paid.
This too:
The attacker could've killed Bret. I think you need to readjust your priorities a bit.
And him tackling Bret could've triggered a stroke and potentially killed him.
Would you have said the same had the moron killed Bret live on TV?
I am not saying they shouldn't. Not even close. They should absolutely expect the worse out of anyone who jumps the barricade or rushes the stage and act accordingly. Once again I am not defending what the dude did. Not even close. He was completely and utterly over the line in every respect. I am 100% fine with him being charged and jailed for what he did. I know Bret is in a very fragile state. And I know how seriously security has to take these situations and they did an awesome job for the most part. I was just saying that the beating he took while he was being led out was not okay to me. I don't like seeing people beaten when they are not resisting. Mainly the part I am talking about is the point in the video where he is being led away by a group of people and then some guy comes up lays a heavy right hand directly into the dudes face while he wasn't looking. He wasn't even resisting. It was just some guy trying to land a free shot and cause injury. I didn't think that was okay so I said something about it. I apologize for saying anything though. It wasn't my intention to derail the thread. I'll see myself out.
User warned: antagonising other member
I see the holier than thou act doesnt ever stop.
Arent you the guy that wants to Ban SUVs and feels sorry for Poachers?
I dont know how you go through life being offended by the sun shining.
This asshat deserved all he got.
If i see my friend getting attacked you bet someone is getting a 3 piece with the biscuit.
You are probably the guy who sits on the sideline hoping to have a discourse with the attacker.......yuck.
Dont @ me, ive said all i need to say.
Got nothing to add really other than Bret is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
😍
😍
Finally something we can agree on.
god dammit

You know but you're not taking the time to understand.
Brett is their friend, colleague, and most likely the wrestler they grew up admiring. Imagine if you personally fell down most likely you would've gotten up with no issues well for Bret falling down or being taken down forcibly could literally kill him. That dick weed took down Bret and Natty while they were honoring the Heart Foundation which Brett is literally the only one who's still alive.
It's almost like these 200+ pound wrestlers/MMA fighters are human and couldn't contain their emotions. I think the wrestlers there showed incredible restraint all things considered. Fucking saints they are.
