MADDER THAN 'MAD': Canadian-born wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart took a piece out of a countryman on Mad-TV recently when he got carried away in a sketch.

In the episode, which airs Feb. 6, Hart came on as himself in a bit where Canuck cast member Will Sasso played Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura. The sketch ends with Hart running amok, and then running amok again at the end of the show -- all of which was scripted. However, in the latter incident, Hart jumped Sasso from behind, slammed his head into a wall and stormed off. Castmember Debra Wilson checked on Sasso and announced, "Oh my God, he's bleeding!"

"The last part is real, and the blood is real," says Mad-TV head writer Brian Hartt, who says the plan is to run the incident in its entirety next Saturday.
