A World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer has come forward with an account of dealing with a home invader at his residence earlier this month.
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan described neutralizing a trespassing man at his South Carolina residence, speaking of the altercation with Wrestling Inc.
Duggan confronted the intruder after the man entered through the front door of the 68-year-old wrestler’s home.
The wrestler told Deadspin that he “took the man down” before holding him for the police.
The wrestler described holding the intruder at gunpoint with a .44 caliber handgun.
Trending:
By the way, using a .44 for home defense is a heavyweight-class choice of weapon oddly befitting its user in this case.
“Hacksaw” recounted the situation in a tweet following the incident, thanking his fans for wishing him well after the incident.
The wrestler also thanked the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Department for their “prompt and professional” response.

“A man who we had never seen before climbed our fence, ran through our yard to our front door, and was pounding on our glass doors,” Duggan said in the post.
“Before we could get to the door, he opened it and fell into our house. I held him at gunpoint while Debra called 911.
“We are safe with no damage.”
Thank you to the @KershawCountySC Sheriff’s Office and thank you to my fans and friends for the well wishes!https://t.co/DtR7TcnI9V pic.twitter.com/Jek2eVLjzx

The Duggans said the man, who was in his mid-20s, was “hysterically frightened,” and told them he was trying to get away from some people nearby who were trying to kill him, according to Wrestling Inc.
