Former UFC star Rampage Jackson has spoken out on his son’s sickening actions and says he one day hopes to meet Syko Stu and shake his hand.

The wrestling world was horrified when footage emerged of Raja Jackson punching an unconscious Syko Stu in the middle of a wrestling ring at a KnokX Pro show, as things almost went tragically wrong. Other wrestlers had to step in to stop Jackson’s assault. Although, since it happened, questions have been raised about almost everyone’s involvement and how the situation was allowed to take place at all, given that Jackson is not a trained wrestler.

WWE has since terminated its ID agreement with KnokX Pro, a wrestling school that is owned by WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi.

Rampage Jackson Says Incident Has Put Him In A Bad Mood

Speaking on a livestream, Raja’s father, Rampage Jackson, addressed the incident and noted he wished he had been there, and he wants justice to play out:

I feel bad about what happened to Syko Stu. I don’t condone what my son did, very unfortunate…I wasn’t there. I’m a father, I gotta have my son’s back. I’m going to let justice play out, take this to court…I can’t talk about any details or stuff like that. I can’t really go into nothing. This s*** has put me in a bad mood. I feel bad about Syko Stu and his family, his family had to see that s***. I just wish I could have been there.

Hopefully one day I can meet Syko Stu and shake his hand and have a man-to-man with him and stuff. I’m just going to get back to being myself. I don’t got the right words to say, the haters are going to twist my words…I wasn’t there. Y’all need to know I don’t condone Raja’s conduct. And I hope Syko Stu can forgive me, myself, as a dad, for not understanding everything.

Syko Stu remains hospitalised after suffering serious injuries in the attack. A GoFundMe has been set up to help him and his family at this dark time, with major donations coming from Chris Jericho, Jack Perry, Swerve Strickland, and YouTube star Mr. Beast.
