A disturbing incident at a professional wrestling show has taken an even darker turn, with allegations that management is actively discouraging wrestlers from cooperating with police investigating what witnesses describe as an attempted murder.
The incident occurred when Raja Jackson, son of former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, allegedly launched an assault on veteran wrestler “Syko Stu” during what was supposed to be an entertainment event.
According to eyewitness Doug, who intervened to stop the attack, Jackson landed 23 punches on the unconscious wrestler, leaving him with broken facial bones, missing teeth, and choking on his own blood.
“He was given CPR. He was choking on his blood,” Doug recounted during a podcast episode. The victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, placed in a medically induced coma, and required a breathing tube. Reports indicate Stu has no recollection of the events and is struggling with balance and walking.
What makes this case particularly troubling is allegations of a coordinated cover-up effort. According to witnesses, wrestling school management has been “encouraging people to not cooperate with the police” and instructing members to “not talk with the police directly if they are contacted.”
Ian, who was not present at the event but has connections to the wrestling organization, expressed outrage at these tactics: “The most disgusting thing is that people at this school are being encouraged to not cooperate with the police… You guys let your friend almost die and now you’re trying to have people lie for you.”
The incident appears to have been premeditated, with Jackson reportedly telling his livestream audience beforehand: “I’m going to f**k him up. I’m going to hurt him. I’m not going to stop. They told me I could do it. They gave me the green light. This is going to be real.”
Doug, who ultimately stepped in to stop the assault, criticized the management’s response: “There has been multiple requests that have gone downstream from upper management to not talk with the police directly… That is extremely dishonest.” He noted that other wrestlers present failed to intervene despite witnessing the brutal attack.
As of now, Jackson has not yet been arrested, though police were actively investigating.
