Pro wrestling star Bret "The Hitman" Hart is reportedly OK after a fan -- if you can call him that -- attacked the wrestler during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony Saturday night.
Hart was mid-speech when the man, whose name is Zachary Madsen, leapt onto the stage, grabbed Hart, and pulled him to the ground. Fortunately, security personnel subdued the man quickly with the help of several other pro wrestlers. (As one might expect, attacking a wrestler in an arena full of other wrestlers is not a great idea.)

Per CNN, Madsen was charged with third-degree assault, criminal trespass, and one additional misdemeanor.
On Twitter, fans and members of the WWE community showed their support for the wrestling legend. A lot of people also made jokes about how stupid the attack was, which was nice.
