Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is now casting blame on Syko Stu for his son, Raja Jackson’s attack, arguing the independent wrestler should “take some accountability.”
It’s been a fortnight since Raja Jackson livestreamed his assault of Syko Stu. After knocking the KnokX Pro Wrester out cold, he continued to lay in a flurry of punches, dislodging teeth and leaving Syko Stu a bloodied mess.
At the time of writing, Raja hasn’t been arrested for his actions. In the interim, his father, Rampage, has returned to the public eye, at first asking for the wrestler’s forgiveness and admitting his son was in the wrong.
Now, however, two weeks removed from the incident, Rampage has changed his tune. In a September 3 interview with Ariel Helwani, the former UFC champion stressed Syko Stu needs to “take some accountability” and confess to his wrongdoing in the situation.
Rampage Jackson claims Syko Stu is at fault
Shortly after the incident, Rampage claimed to have left Syko Stu a voice message. There was no response as Stu was recovering. As such, the MMA legend turned to friends in the wrestling community for further information.
He claimed to have learned Syko Stu is notorious for being drunk backstage at independent wrestling shows and that “This isn’t the first time Syko Stu has done some sh** like this backstage. Some drunken sh**.”
Casting the blame on the wrestler, Rampage then suggested Skyo Stu should have “at least said something” to Raja after hitting him in the head with a can in order to diffuse the situation.
“Take some accountability. Honestly, everybody was wrong. Raja was the most wrong, but none of this sh** ever would have happened if Syko Stu didn’t hit my son on the back of the head with a can they were drinking out of.”
Later in the Helwani interview, Rampage would go on to suggest the attack wasn’t as bad as many described it. Allegedly, he heard Syko Stu was released from the hospital “days before” social media was alerted.
“People were hyping it up like the guy was in a worse condition than he was. He wasn’t. Just knocked some teeth out. If the guy was f***ed up so bad, why would they let his opponent pin him before they got him help? I just think people milk stuff for GoFundMe, I’m sorry.
“The police need to investigate why his friend took so long to get in the ring.”
At present, we haven’t heard from Raja since the attack. Rampage claimed he’s “most likely at home” as they’ve “been waiting for an arrest warrant. As soon as we get an arrest warrant, I was gonna turn him in [sic].
“If the judge thinks he should go to jail, I think he should go to jail. Not prison. Do a little time, get some therapy, learn from this. Let him go to jail for a couple of days.”
