Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has released a statement regarding a serious incident at a Knox Pro wrestling event in Los Angeles on Saturday. The incident saw his son, Raja Jackson, legitimately knock out and injure a wrestler named Syko Stu in what was reportedly supposed to be a planned spot.
A Planned Spot Turns Real at Knox Pro
During the main event of the show, Raja Jackson entered the ring from the crowd and attacked Syko Stu. He picked Stu up and slammed him to the mat, legitimately knocking him unconscious. Raja then continued to land repeated punches to the face of the unresponsive wrestler until several other wrestlers entered the ring to subdue him. Stu was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
A report from Fightful has since clarified that while Raja entering the ring to attack Stu was part of a plan, Stu was legitimately knocked out by the slam and was unable to defend himself from the punches.
Syko Stu thought Raja Jackson was a wrestler, and was setting up a story line. He apologised and they talked it out.
Raja Jackson proceeded to hit this man with 22 unanswered shots until blood came from his ears. Lock him up

Raja is a MMA fighter not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this,” Rampage continued. “I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact… As a father, im deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith… my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery.I apologize on his behalf.”
I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler ( Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable. Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match, Raja was told that he could get his “payback”in…

Based on what I've heard, the spot with Raja Jackson at Knokx Pro Wrestling was planned. However, Raja Jackson knocked the person out — ring name Syko Stu– and followed up with a lot of heavy punches to Syko Stu, which were not planned to do that kind of damage.
