Buck Woodward wrote the following on 4/26: "I received an email from a reader claiming to be the fan that tried to attack Shawn Michaels during the show in Belfast, Northern Ireland. While I have no way of knowing if this person is legitimate or not, he claims that he was yelling at Shawn that he "screwed Bret" and that Michaels responded by pulling a pair of Bret Hart sunglasses (the ones WWE used to sell at shows) off of his face, which prompted the incident. If any other readers were at the show and can give details about what happened, toss me an email."

This morning, a reader sent along a link to a video of the Belfast incident, which can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0FtZitgQUQ. The footage, which was shot by a fan, features shaky footage of Michaels making his way to the ring. He stops and appears to grab from a fan and then proceeds to tear it up, which leads to a fan hopping the rail and going after Michaels. Again, the footage is shaky, but it is obvious to see that the story claimed by the fan in question has some legitimacy to it. If you wish to check it out for yourself, do it quickly before WWE's legal team has it removed from YouTube.com.

That said, whether Michaels was in the wrong or not, at no point should a fan ever cross the railing to physically get involved with a performer or athlete, no matter the circumstances.

dear lord....that was great, you see the dumbass jump right over the barricade
