This is a video I can’t even believe I'm making.. Rampage Jackson’s son Raja Jackson took what was a misunderstanding and turned it into an attempted murder. He should be banned from all compat sports and honestly he should be in Jail.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so we're back on the way concept presented
by the Ring, and today I'm not here to talk
to you about high level fighters. I'm not here to
talk to you about, you know, big time matchups or
interviewing a fighter, or I'm going to show you any
training that I did with with a fighter or anything
like that. Today I'm here to simply talk about one
of the worst things I think I've ever seen on
a live camera involving a combat sports athlete.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And I don't even I don't even want.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
To call this individual that because the story I'm about
to lay out for you, guys, doesn't describe an athlete.
It doesn't describe someone that is well adjusted or has
a responsibility to be a combat sports athlete in all
phases of life. What I'm about to show you is
someone looking to take advantage of the fact that they're
training combat and their short temper, terrible judgment skills, and
(00:43):
decision making all wrapped into one incident that damn near
killed someone and had it gone the way of the
person perpetrating the attack, they probably would have That may
sound harsh, and you guys don't have to believe me,
but when we're done looking at some of this footage,
some of which I can't even show you because we're
on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I think you'll agree.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And what I'm talking about is Quentin Rampage Jackson, former
light heavyweight champion in the UFC, former Pride champion, has
a son named Rajah Jackson, and they have been streaming
on kick and Raja is apparently trying to become a
professional MMA fighter as a wrestling background. I think he's
Ozero and one as an actual pro fighter, and they
have been interacting father and son and you know, training
(01:21):
and all this. And I didn't know much about Rajah
Jackson other than the fact that I can clearly see
now that he's not well adjusted and his critical thinking
skills do not apply almost in any case, and that
he's got more than one fucking screw loose, because last
night he almost killed someone. And I don't even know,
as I'm recording this where the health of the other
individual stands. But Rajah Jackson was at a pro wrestling
(01:44):
event somewhere in Los Angeles and what started as a
pretty innocent kind of misunderstanding, one that probably shouldn't have happened.
And I'm not going to excuse that but also the
response to it was so out of control that I
can't even describe it without showing it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So let me get into this entire story and we'll
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But Raja Jackson attacks a pro wrestler live in an
event and almost killed him, and honestly, in my opinion,
Rajah Jackson needs to serve jail time, Like this is
not an innocent mistake of a young man. This was
a premeditated attack that almost murdered someone and there's no.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Excuse for it. But let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So, like I said, I'm not even gonna be able
to show you all this attack, LEO. I guess I'm
gonna I'm gonna play the video, but we're gonna have
to blur what happens when.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We get to the attack portion. But here is how
everything started.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Rajah Jackson rolls up to a pro wrestling event, a
small local pro wrestling event. This isn't the WWE. This
is a local city wide wrestling event.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think put on by Rakishi.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And we're going to get back to that in a second,
because there's gonna be some liabilities involved with how this
thing actually happened and how it was allowed to potentially happen.
That's not gonna just involve Rajah Jackson, but it's also
going to involve the promoters of this event and Rakkeishi,
who's this is his pro wrestling company that puts on
these events.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But here's how everything started.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Me Hell no, yeah, I think that's what.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He's not a worker, bro?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, what the was that was?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That? He's not? What the was? I don't know? No
I was.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I know, I know you will, I will him up.
I don't play that ship. No, I will funk him up.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I know you will. I got you.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So I did not play that ship at all.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Follows that you know me?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So, as you can see here if you're not familiar
with the pro wrestling business, you see this individual with
his shirt off and the beer belly, and you see
the guy behind him with the cowboy hat.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
These are pro wrestlers, right.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's not amateur wrestling, which is an act victual live
combat sport.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Pro wrestling is a bit of theater.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's what we call sports entertainment, meaning there isn't an
actual competition going on. People aren't actually fighting each other.
It's simulated combat for the fans to see their favorite
stars especially in the WWE, like a John Cena or
Randy Orton or The Rock go out there and put
on a performance right at the local level. It's a
little bit sloppier, it's a little bit less kempt, and
(04:27):
obviously the people involved are not the smartest, brightest and
best of the pro wrestling business. This individual, in particular,
what I assume happened here was the guy on the
right who apparently is a former soldier and has PTSD
and wrestles to help him with his PTSD after going overseas.
(04:47):
He is I guess assuming that Raja is another pro
wrestler there, because he's backstage with the other pro wrestlers
right or in the parking lot with the other pro wrestlers,
like you can clearly see everybody around is a wrestler,
and he is. I guess assumes that either Raja understands
what pro wrestling is and he's there as a wrestler,
(05:10):
or that he's a fan that's back there trying to
mingle with the wrestlers, and this guy takes a liberty
which he should not have done, and the guy cracks
what's clearly a workeed can that again, the pro wrestler
should not have done.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I'm not going to condone the guy hitting him.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
With the worked can, but it was clearly an empty
can where he was trying to go to Raja and
be like, oh, you don't know me, well check this
out right, like a little bit of a fake punch
like they do in pro wrestling.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Oh yeah, you want.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
To see something, huh, and it's and he expects Raja
to react like a fan or react like a pro
wrestler would where they stumble and oh my goodness, you
hit me with something. Okay, we're working together, brother.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh he's not a worker. So you hear his buddies.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Around him, and again you see more context for this
kind of being the pro wrestle area and the guy
maybe thinking that he was just Raja was a pro wrestler,
maybe trying to make a name, or just one that
he didn't know and they didn't know each other. So
that's the way you communicate with the other wrestlers. Brother,
you gotta show me that you know how to work.
And the guy with the shirt off says, oh, you're
not gonna sell it, So again it's clear he thinks
(06:17):
that Raja knows what that means he thinks that Raja
either is a pro wrestler or knows what selling is,
because he hits him with a can and Raja just
stands there like, what the fuck are you doing? The
guy clearly fucked up, not knowing that Raja didn't understand
any of the pro wrestling stuff, and he shouldn't have
hit him with the can to begin with.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
But the context of what's happening is simple.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The guy thought Raja was a pro wrestler, and Raja
obviously had no fucking clue what was happening. When you
see him put his hands on Raja again, not something
that he should do, but it's a head collar tie
up that a lot of pro wrestlers will do, is
(06:58):
either a greeting or as a way to see if
you're about the business, see if you're a worker. And
again Raja has no idea what this guy is doing,
so he's like, get your hands off. So at this
point that's all we know, and Raja hasn't done a
thing wrong yet, and the wrestler again made a mistake
thinking that Raja was a wrestler and went a little
too far with the can crushing and put in his
hands he shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But again, this is the point we're at now.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'm giving you this for context because what happens next
is very important. So that video cuts off, but where
it picks up is this right here.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I'm sorry. All work out.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I appreciate it working out.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
We're gonna come out on your bat. I know you
keep thinking we're working. We're always working.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Always get it out now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
We're always working.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So there're here at the guy with the beard, the
war vets got PTSD. He said, listen, I don't I
didn't know you weren't a worker. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He apologizes twice. There.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Turaja apologizes twice, says, hey, I thought saw the camera
saw you. Thought you were a worker again, worker meaning
thought you were another pro wrestler. Thought you were like
maybe doing a skit, and I was going to, you know,
with the camera there, I wanted to do a skit too.
And it's just one of those things if you think
someone's a pro wrestler and they come up. It's that
little line that gets blurred between reel and fake all
(08:22):
the time in the business. But the only people that
are supposed to be blurring the lines between reel and fake.
Are the people actually wrestling because they know that it's
not real and they're trying to convince other people that
it is. That's what this guy, this pro wrestler thought.
And then you hear the guy in the middle say
something like, Hey, you know, we're going to have him
come out during your match because we're working.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You think we're working. We're always working.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So that's the first inclination that they were going to
try to make something out of this in the ring,
which obviously in retrospect was a terrible idea because you're
dealing with someone and this is why I will put
a little bit of this on the promotion. Rakishi's people
or whoever decided to set this up. These pro wrestlers
are like, oh, yeah, we'll just do something as a
part of the match to make it up to you,
right as as an act of good faith.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Raja is not a worker.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He has no idea that this is supposed to be worked,
or at least he doesn't want it to be worked.
He's still clearly pissed about the whole thing, so to
include him in the match is a terrible idea. I
got it doesn't have any pro wrestling experience, I don't
care what his dad did at TNA or wherever else,
and is clearly not well adjusted, doesn't care about this
fake shit, and is looking to hurt something. So again,
I just wanted to give you broader context. This wrestler
(09:28):
apologizes multiple times to Raja. It's like, Hey, I didn't
mean anything by it. I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.
I apologize. I thought you were a pro wrestler. You're
clearly not. I thought the camera was like you doing
your thing. That's not the case. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
So that's what we call ending it right. It should
end right there.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Raja should have no other reason to do what he's
about to do. There is no excuse for it at all. Now,
at that being said, this show decides to put Raja
in a match, or at least in a spot of
a match. He is going to be in the match
with the guy at least in some fashion, which again
is a terrible idea. But here's him at least explaining
(10:06):
what was told to him.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And I'm gonna have some pushback on him not.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Scripting, bro, I don't know when his matches. No, they
didn't tell me to fake. Listen, I can hit him
for real. Yeah, they allowed me to hit him for real.
If he hits me back for real, I don't give
a fuck. I want him to.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So Rajah is saying that the promotion said you can
go in there and hit the guy during his match.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Show you guys did. They told me to hit him
and just lead somebody who pulled me off of them
and will lead.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I'm telling you I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Gonna hit him as many times as you can't watch.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And then you hear Roger say, I don't give a
fuck if he hits me back, I want him to.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
This this is where I have some pushback.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
There is no fucking way as a pro wrestling fan,
as someone who was trained in the business right here
in Orlando, Florida, down at Team three D Gym with
some of the batter dudes in the industry at least,
and the guys that understood the line between reel and
fake that pushed that line. I'm talking Team three D,
Bubba Devon, Billy Gunn.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There is no shot in hell that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
These people told a trained professional MMA fighter that he
could walk into their ring and punch one of their
wrestlers for real until someone pulled them up. Rakishi, someone
that worked in the business at the highest level, would
not allow his guys to get hit their shit kicked
in by an MMA fighter for absolutely no reason, all
because of whatever incident happened outside and was very quickly
(11:43):
resolved and apologized for.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Here's where I think one of two things is happening.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Either Rajah heard him say that we're going to work
with you in this match. We're going to have you
do a little work thing in the match, and he
took that to mean I get to do whatever I
want and punch this guy for real. Or he heard
we're going to allow you to work in the match,
and Rajah heard enough there and went, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They think it's going to be a work. They think
it's supposed to be fake.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I'm going to funck this guy up for real because
people got to quit disrespect to me and people got
to quit playing with me. This is where things turn
very badly because he did what's called in the business
taken to liberty. A guy that is a trained him
a fighter, a guy that understands he is a danger
to everyone around him if he so chooses to utilize
the skills he's learned and to use the aggression of
his chosen sport in a simulated combat zone. And again,
(12:29):
while this entire thing is stupid, to even include him
in a match, that's absolutely ridiculous and the promotion should
be ill liable for thinking that was a thing they
should do. I don't know about waivers or anything else
that was signed. That's completely asinine to think, Oh, yeah,
this guy just had a little bit of an issue
with our guy outside, so we need to work it
into a match. Brother, he's that's Rampay's Jackson's son. He's
(12:50):
going to bring the eyeballs. No, that's fucking stupid. You're
talking about someone that doesn't understand pro wrestling and he's
going to get in there and you can't control him.
What honestly really was probably said to Rajah, Hey, get
in the ring, take our guy down, and you know,
really throw some worked punches at him and make it
look like it's something, but don't actually fucking kill him,
and we'll let you stand up, get your hand raised
(13:11):
and look like the big tough guy that you clearly
fucking want to be. Now again, I'm getting a little
fired up because of what happens next. Here is the
actual video of Raja doing what he did getting into
the ring, which again apparently was told to him he
was allowed to do by the promotion. Absolutely fucking stupid.
But then he takes it a step further, takes liberties
(13:31):
with everybody in there that is not looking for a fight,
that is not looking to defend themselves from a fight,
because it's been agreed upon, apparently that he's gonna come
in and do some works, even though Raja is trying
to explain it, like, no, I can really go in
there and assault this guy, because when's that ever been
the case. Raja is twenty five years old. I don't
want to hear stupid kid making mistakes. This is not
acceptable in any walk of life where you just get
(13:52):
to go Yeah, no, the company said I can go
in there.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And beat his ass. Bullshit.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
There's clearly a fuck up from the company allowing him
to even get into the ring, but it was obvious
that he was not supposed to fucking murder the guy,
throw a couple of work punches, stand up and look
like the tough guy you clearly wanted to fucking be.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
But that's not what happened.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Instead, Rajah took things into his own hands and acted
like a complete fucking psycho. And I'm gonna play this video,
but we can't even show most of it, Leo, so
like we're gonna have to blur a lout of this.
But just know that he jumps into this ring and
damn near kills someone.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
So right away, single leg.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
This guy's knocked out cold, he's out hold just from
the takedown. Now again, just look at everybody around you.
This guy standing up at the commentary boot he realizes
that that takedown was not a worked takedown. He realizes
this is already gonna go out of control because Raja
slammed this dude on his fucking head and he proceeds
to throw twenty one te unanswered Haymakers at this.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Fool while he's already unconscious.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And the severity of violence and the lack of understanding
to stop and get off of this guy. And by
the way, again the referee, the other wrestler's probably being
a little shell shocked that this is real. No one's
stepping in, no security stepping is another complete fuck up
by this company.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Was it knockouts knocks? What's this company? Knocks? Pro Wrestling
a complete fuck up?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
All the way around from them, But a lack of
fundamental understanding to say, I'm going to kill this person
if I don't stop, or to have the want to
continue beating on an unconscious man until he is dead
is what you see here from Raja. No thought to stop,
(15:43):
no thought to hold up. This guy's gonna try to
stop him. Which makes this even worse because even in
Raj's own words, he said, I'm gonna throw punches and
someone's gonna pull me off. Well, here comes the guy
to pull Rajah off. And what's he do if he
knows that this is supposed to be how it's gonna
go and guys are there to pull him off, what's
he do? Nope, just keeps throwing, Just keeps throwing. Go
(16:07):
try to get again. Look, he tries to shove the
guy off again and keep throwing. This guy comes to
get him. He tries to let go of him and
get back to it. Then obviously all chaos breaks loose
(16:33):
and they try to hold on for dear life while
their buddy is laying there completely and utterly unconscious after being.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Attacked, mercilessly attacked.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Now that video as much as you guys could have
seen of it, and I don't think I can show
it all to you.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Just know that he slammed this guy on his head.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
He was out cold immediately there he landed twenty maybe
twenty one unanswered punches where the guy's body is convulsing
on the floor, whilst again Raja said, oh, I'm gonna
throw some punches and there guys are gonna pull me
off and that's what we're doing. Who in their right
mind would think that means throwing actual punches. And I
don't even know if that was the actual agreement as
to what was supposed to have happened. This is all
just from Raja himself, which clearly his decision making isn't
(17:13):
the greatest in the world. He's clearly not well adjusted upstairs,
so I have a little problem trusting what he's saying
at all. But if that was the case, and they
tried to pull him off him and he throws them
off and goes back for more, you're an absolute fucking
scumbag that has no ability to fucking think or whose
ego is so fragile.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
From what happened hours beforehand, where he had an.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Empty can kind of swung on the side of his
head very lightly, I might ask. And again it was
immediately apologized to when the situation was revealed that he
was not a part of the show or the festivities
or pro wrestling at all, and apparently was squashed in
that moment to then go and do that shit on
live camera.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What the fuck was he thinking? He wasn't thinking. I mean,
I don't even know why I'm asking that question.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I know what he was thinking. He was thinking, I'm
gonna fucking murder this guy. I'm gonna hurt this guy
to where no one can play me anymore, no one
can make me look like a bitch anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And that's not me exaggerating.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
This is what Roger said right after he committed full
on assault and probably attempted murder.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Hod fucker's playing with me, Bro real Ship. One of
them will bitch from fucking ben me trying to everybody
fucking playing with me and ship, and I'm always playing
and Ship. Call me bits and Ship. Not a fucking bitch. Bro.
At the end of the day, I'm stand off for
my fucking self because I'm tired everybody fucking playing with me.
Bro real Ship.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Come on, man, we're living, man, We're walking away. Bro,
Let's not tell this shites. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Come on, Roger, let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Let's go, Roger. Let's go, Roger. Let's go, Rogie. I'm
telling you, let's go. You listen to me. Listen to me, Roger.
You need to listen to me right now, Roger, Let's go.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
I don't give you sh Let's go. You are gonna
do shit to me.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Bro, can't sht to me.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Can't fuck with me, brother, Let's can't fuck with me.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I'm I'm shot.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
How genuinely fragile Rajah Jackson's ego is. I mean, this
is a real life looking to someone who legitimately thought
that beating a helpless man senseless, being a guy who thought,
at the very most you guys were gonna do a
little worked kind of situation. Beating the shit out of
(19:22):
him until you almost kill him was a way of saying,
I'm standing up for myself. I'm not a bitch. What
and then he yells out, well, y'all jump me, y'all
jump me. No one is fighting but you, you moron. There
was not supposed to be any fighting going on. Talking
about jumping this and jumping that, y'all gotta quit playing
me like I'm a bitch. Who the only person that
(19:43):
made themselves look like a bitch here, the only person
that made themselves look like an absolute moron, who made
themselves look completely unhinged and like they need to be
ridiculed and honestly put behind bars for aggravated assault and
potentially more. Is Rajah Jackson like he's living in a
different reality than what is actually happening. No one jumped
(20:04):
him and no one created him like a bitch. There
was a situation that shouldn't have happened earlier on in
the day. It was a misunderstanding and one that was
quickly resolved apologized.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For profusely that I think, in.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
My own opinion, Rajah Jackson used when he heard they
were going to allow him to be a part of
the pro wrestling match. He took advantage of that situation
to be like, Oh, you punked me on my stream.
You hit me with that can on my stream. Fuck
that apology. I'm gonna hit you back, and I'm gonna
try to hit you until you stop fucking move scumbag shit.
And again, I don't see how he's not charged here.
(20:35):
I really don't see how he's not charged. And I'm
not even trying to make this like how could you
do this to this former veteran with PTSD.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But this is the guy that Raja attacked.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Bro in two thousand and nine. I had just got
out of the military, probably about six months earlier. I
got out of the military, I joined Knox bro you know,
because I needed something to focus on. I needed something
to help me adjust back into civilian life. You know,
a lot of it's hard for them to readjust in
this civilian life coming from the life of the military.
(21:05):
I'm an American soldier that suffers from PTSD. Being in
front of a crowd, it doesn't give me as much
anxiety and aggression as I thought it would.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Like, this guy clearly does pro wrestling as his way
of coping with what he's gone through overseas. But the
way that Rajah Jackson treated this guy, this whole situation
is just unbelievable. Now, the last thing that I want
to talk about is Rampage Jackson's response to his son
doing this on live stream. Number one, I want to
say this Rampage had nothing to do with this, and
(21:33):
for me to act like I know the situation of
Rampage his family life at home.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'm not going to do that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Rampage was on stream as well with Sneako and found
out about it live. They ended the stream and this
is what Rampage had to say about the entire incident
after he said I wanted to clear up the misinformation
about my son Rajah. First off, again, we'll get into
what he actually says, but probably the worst fucking way
you could start a tweet about your son maliciously and
(22:00):
viciously assaulting someone to the point where they were out
cold and did not wake up for a very long time. Apparently,
according to the to the pro wrestlers that were trying
to get Psycho Stu is the name of the wrestler
trying to get him to wake up. Apparently it took
a very long time and maybe even til he got
to the hospital for him to wake up.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I don't even know what his status.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is currently, But starting off on a terrible foot here
Rampage talking about the misinformation about your son.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We saw him on camera beat a man senseless.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Anyway, I've been confirmed that the wrestler Stuart Smith aka
Psycho Stu, is awake and stable. Raja was unexpectedly hit
in the side of the head by him moments before
Smith's match, and Raja was told that he could get
his payback.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
In the ring. I thought it was a part of
the show.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Now again, we have the footage to show that, Yes,
Raja was hit unexpectedly with an empty can on the
side of the head in a very worked way.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It wasn't a full swing of that can.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
There was nothing in that can to hurt him, and
it was clearly done as a way to be a
part of whatever skit Stu, the wrestler psycho Stu thought
Raja was doing with the camera and the live stream
and him thinking that Raja was a pro wrestler. What
Rampage is not saying here, and it's a bit disingenuous
for Rampage to do, and we have all the footage
is that not only was this not just before the match,
(23:20):
this was immediately followed by a profuse apology from Stu
and the other pro wrestlers around that did not know
that Raja was a worker, that did not know Raja
wasn't a pro wrestler, and the whole situation was resolved
right there. He then goes on and says, Raja was
told he could get his payback in the ring, and
then there's a comment I thought it was a part
of the show. So if Raja was told him he
(23:40):
could get his payback in the ring, which again I
assume he is getting from his son telling him that
that's what the pro wrestling company told him, and them
meaning Rampage, and Raja legitimately thinking that that meant Rajah
could go into that ring, pick up this wrestler, slam
him on his head, and throw punches at him continuously until.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
The guy died.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
That's what they thought the payback in the ring was.
Rampage knows better. He's been on movie sets, he has
worked in pro wrestling before. He knows what a work is,
and that's not it bullshit. Now again, Rakishi's company, this
Knox Wrestling Company, They're gonna have some fault in vault
here as well for even proposing the fact that Raja
(24:21):
should get in the ring with their pro wrestlers.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Because he's not trained. He clearly doesn't understand the business.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And even if you tell him it's supposed to be fake,
even if you tell him to go in there and
not throw real punches, you can't control what he does
as a guy that's not well adjusted, as a guy
that's still clearly pissed off, has a temper issue, has
a fragile ego, and is looking to hurt people. That's
on them too. It was bad judgment and a work
that went wrong. Yeah, no, that's bullshit. Raja was not
(24:47):
working at all. Raja was not faking any of that.
He was looking to go in there and hurt that
guy again, Rampage. This is all shit, dude, This is
all bad, terrible, terrible, terrible response. Raja is an MMA fighter,
not a pro wrestler, and had no b this is
being involved in the event like this.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
True.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I don't condone my son's actions at all. He suffered
a concussion sparring only days ago and had no business
doing anything remotely close to physical contact. Okay, yeah, I
mean sure, him suffering a concussion and sparring days ago, Okay, yeah,
he shouldn't be involved with any physical activity because concussions
are a real thing. But trying to use that as
the way to say, oh, my son was suffering concussion
(25:24):
symptoms and that's how this potentially could happen, Like using
that as as a defense in some way is again
just a terrible look for Rampage. If that's what he's
trying to do, then and he goes as a father,
I'm deeply concerned with his health and the well being
of mister Smith. That being said, I'm very upset that
any of this happened. But my main concern now is
that mister Smith make a speedy recovery. I apologize on
(25:44):
his behalf and to kick for the situation. I mean, yeah,
Rampage is trying to protect his son, but you just can't.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You can't say some of this stuff. You can't come
out right away.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And I'm sure whatever legal representation they're going to try
to get, because there is going to have to be
some legal representation, like the lawsuit if they're if not
for criminal chargers that are gonna get pressed, the lawsuit
itself is gonna fucking hit Rampage in his wallet. To
start this tweet off by saying, I want to clear
up the misinformation.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It was a work that went wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
He was told he could get his payback in the ring,
and he puts payback in quotes. They better have that
in writing or in voice form somewhere. That's just a bad,
bad response from Rampage for what potentially can happen legally
in this situation, and this entire, entire situation is the
fault of his son. Nofans or butts about it. His
(26:34):
son chose to go into that ring and make a
statement to everybody else out there that he was the
tough guy by intentionally trying to hurt that pro wrestler,
and I only have to assume it was because of
that incident earlier on that Rojer clearly didn't get over
that it stung his ego that it was on live
and his chat was probably clowning in for it, and
he was probably looking at his kick Chat and going, oh,
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, And there's a bunch
(26:55):
of fucking twelve and thirteen year olds in his.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Livestream chat going yeah, going there, fuck him up.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
And a twenty five year old man can't make the
adult decision to say, you know what, whatever is going
on in this little fucking internet chat on my phone
is not worth me potentially going to jail for a
very long time, or worth me losing my screws and
murdering someone or attempting to assault them.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
In a way that leaves them permanently damaged. Roja Jackson
didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He fed into He allowed himself and his ego to
go in there and take advantage of the situation and
put a fucking beating on this guy's psychos. To Roger
Jackson's not an example of a kid making a mistake.
He's an example of a scumbag using an opportunity to
assault someone as a way to say I'm not a
bitch and y'all are going to stop playing with me.
That's an absolutely egregious, egregious use of combat sports and
(27:44):
martial art experience. This is the thing that you get
into martial arts for to stop guys like Rajah Jackson
from doing it to people that can't protect themselves. You
get into martial arts to be able to defend yourself from.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Psychos like that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And the first thing you learn when a part of
martial arts and any different disciplines is that you are
a walking weapon.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You are someone that has.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
The means to inflict violence, but through the martial arts,
learn the control to not do so, learn the discipline
and the humility to not use your physical actions but
instead to de escalate in all situations, and yeah, man,
this is just fucking stupid. And listen, I offer a
lot of opinions here on combat sports, but this may
be the first time where I offer the opinion that
Roger Jackson should.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Be in jail for what he did here.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
This is inexcusable and this is no offense to Rampage
or anybody else. I know that's his father, but there
is no excuse. There is none, And it's not some
sixteen year old kid, seventeen year old kid, eighteen year
old kid.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That's a twenty five year old man.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That made a choice to damn near in someone's life
over his ego. I'll even go as far as say
a little bit of clout and standing on business. I
told you guys, the internet has fried people's brains, and
it really has. And if you're defending this, you're one
of those people. Completely awful. But yeah, that's the situation.
I don't know what's gonna happen next here. Pray for
the safety of stoop that was on the other.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Side of this. Just complete and utter vicious assault.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I hope this is a signal to live streaming entities
like kick like Twitch and anybody that's on those platforms
that you are always you are developing a digital footprint
of your actions, and hopefully this is a signal to
everybody looking to do the next biggest thing for Cloud,
everybody looking to press people and get in fights and
(29:25):
everything ego driven and nobody being able to take a
step back and take a breath and say this is
not the right place, the right time. This is going
to turn out badly. Hopefully this is an example of
what not to do and what combat sports and MMA
and true martial arts are not meant for complete scumbag
move from Rajah Jackson, and I'd have to think charges
are at least going to be pressed and filed and
(29:47):
what happens next.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I don't have those answers, but I guess we'll find
out
All right, so we're back on the way concept presented
by the Ring, and today I'm not here to talk
to you about high level fighters. I'm not here to
talk to you about, you know, big time matchups or
interviewing a fighter, or I'm going to show you any
training that I did with with a fighter or anything
like that. Today I'm here to simply talk about one
of the worst things I think I've ever seen on
a live camera involving a combat sports athlete.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And I don't even I don't even want.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
To call this individual that because the story I'm about
to lay out for you, guys, doesn't describe an athlete.
It doesn't describe someone that is well adjusted or has
a responsibility to be a combat sports athlete in all
phases of life. What I'm about to show you is
someone looking to take advantage of the fact that they're
training combat and their short temper, terrible judgment skills, and
(00:43):
decision making all wrapped into one incident that damn near
killed someone and had it gone the way of the
person perpetrating the attack, they probably would have That may
sound harsh, and you guys don't have to believe me,
but when we're done looking at some of this footage,
some of which I can't even show you because we're
on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I think you'll agree.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And what I'm talking about is Quentin Rampage Jackson, former
light heavyweight champion in the UFC, former Pride champion, has
a son named Rajah Jackson, and they have been streaming
on kick and Raja is apparently trying to become a
professional MMA fighter as a wrestling background. I think he's
Ozero and one as an actual pro fighter, and they
have been interacting father and son and you know, training
(01:21):
and all this. And I didn't know much about Rajah
Jackson other than the fact that I can clearly see
now that he's not well adjusted and his critical thinking
skills do not apply almost in any case, and that
he's got more than one fucking screw loose, because last
night he almost killed someone. And I don't even know,
as I'm recording this where the health of the other
individual stands. But Rajah Jackson was at a pro wrestling
(01:44):
event somewhere in Los Angeles and what started as a
pretty innocent kind of misunderstanding, one that probably shouldn't have happened.
And I'm not going to excuse that but also the
response to it was so out of control that I
can't even describe it without showing it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So let me get into this entire story and we'll
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But Raja Jackson attacks a pro wrestler live in an
event and almost killed him, and honestly, in my opinion,
Rajah Jackson needs to serve jail time, Like this is
not an innocent mistake of a young man. This was
a premeditated attack that almost murdered someone and there's no.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Excuse for it. But let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So, like I said, I'm not even gonna be able
to show you all this attack, LEO. I guess I'm
gonna I'm gonna play the video, but we're gonna have
to blur what happens when.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We get to the attack portion. But here is how
everything started.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Rajah Jackson rolls up to a pro wrestling event, a
small local pro wrestling event. This isn't the WWE. This
is a local city wide wrestling event.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think put on by Rakishi.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And we're going to get back to that in a second,
because there's gonna be some liabilities involved with how this
thing actually happened and how it was allowed to potentially happen.
That's not gonna just involve Rajah Jackson, but it's also
going to involve the promoters of this event and Rakkeishi,
who's this is his pro wrestling company that puts on
these events.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But here's how everything started.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Me Hell no, yeah, I think that's what.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He's not a worker, bro?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, what the was that was?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That? He's not? What the was? I don't know? No
I was.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I know, I know you will, I will him up.
I don't play that ship. No, I will funk him up.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I know you will. I got you.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So I did not play that ship at all.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Follows that you know me?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So, as you can see here if you're not familiar
with the pro wrestling business, you see this individual with
his shirt off and the beer belly, and you see
the guy behind him with the cowboy hat.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
These are pro wrestlers, right.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's not amateur wrestling, which is an act victual live
combat sport.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Pro wrestling is a bit of theater.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's what we call sports entertainment, meaning there isn't an
actual competition going on. People aren't actually fighting each other.
It's simulated combat for the fans to see their favorite
stars especially in the WWE, like a John Cena or
Randy Orton or The Rock go out there and put
on a performance right at the local level. It's a
little bit sloppier, it's a little bit less kempt, and
(04:27):
obviously the people involved are not the smartest, brightest and
best of the pro wrestling business. This individual, in particular,
what I assume happened here was the guy on the
right who apparently is a former soldier and has PTSD
and wrestles to help him with his PTSD after going overseas.
(04:47):
He is I guess assuming that Raja is another pro
wrestler there, because he's backstage with the other pro wrestlers
right or in the parking lot with the other pro wrestlers,
like you can clearly see everybody around is a wrestler,
and he is. I guess assumes that either Raja understands
what pro wrestling is and he's there as a wrestler,
(05:10):
or that he's a fan that's back there trying to
mingle with the wrestlers, and this guy takes a liberty
which he should not have done, and the guy cracks
what's clearly a workeed can that again, the pro wrestler
should not have done.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I'm not going to condone the guy hitting him.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
With the worked can, but it was clearly an empty
can where he was trying to go to Raja and
be like, oh, you don't know me, well check this
out right, like a little bit of a fake punch
like they do in pro wrestling.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Oh yeah, you want.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
To see something, huh, and it's and he expects Raja
to react like a fan or react like a pro
wrestler would where they stumble and oh my goodness, you
hit me with something. Okay, we're working together, brother.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh he's not a worker. So you hear his buddies.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Around him, and again you see more context for this
kind of being the pro wrestle area and the guy
maybe thinking that he was just Raja was a pro wrestler,
maybe trying to make a name, or just one that
he didn't know and they didn't know each other. So
that's the way you communicate with the other wrestlers. Brother,
you gotta show me that you know how to work.
And the guy with the shirt off says, oh, you're
not gonna sell it, So again it's clear he thinks
(06:17):
that Raja knows what that means he thinks that Raja
either is a pro wrestler or knows what selling is,
because he hits him with a can and Raja just
stands there like, what the fuck are you doing? The
guy clearly fucked up, not knowing that Raja didn't understand
any of the pro wrestling stuff, and he shouldn't have
hit him with the can to begin with.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
But the context of what's happening is simple.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The guy thought Raja was a pro wrestler, and Raja
obviously had no fucking clue what was happening. When you
see him put his hands on Raja again, not something
that he should do, but it's a head collar tie
up that a lot of pro wrestlers will do, is
(06:58):
either a greeting or as a way to see if
you're about the business, see if you're a worker. And
again Raja has no idea what this guy is doing,
so he's like, get your hands off. So at this
point that's all we know, and Raja hasn't done a
thing wrong yet, and the wrestler again made a mistake
thinking that Raja was a wrestler and went a little
too far with the can crushing and put in his
hands he shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But again, this is the point we're at now.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'm giving you this for context because what happens next
is very important. So that video cuts off, but where
it picks up is this right here.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I'm sorry. All work out.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I appreciate it working out.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
We're gonna come out on your bat. I know you
keep thinking we're working. We're always working.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Always get it out now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
We're always working.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So there're here at the guy with the beard, the
war vets got PTSD. He said, listen, I don't I
didn't know you weren't a worker. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He apologizes twice. There.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Turaja apologizes twice, says, hey, I thought saw the camera
saw you. Thought you were a worker again, worker meaning
thought you were another pro wrestler. Thought you were like
maybe doing a skit, and I was going to, you know,
with the camera there, I wanted to do a skit too.
And it's just one of those things if you think
someone's a pro wrestler and they come up. It's that
little line that gets blurred between reel and fake all
(08:22):
the time in the business. But the only people that
are supposed to be blurring the lines between reel and fake.
Are the people actually wrestling because they know that it's
not real and they're trying to convince other people that
it is. That's what this guy, this pro wrestler thought.
And then you hear the guy in the middle say
something like, Hey, you know, we're going to have him
come out during your match because we're working.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You think we're working. We're always working.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So that's the first inclination that they were going to
try to make something out of this in the ring,
which obviously in retrospect was a terrible idea because you're
dealing with someone and this is why I will put
a little bit of this on the promotion. Rakishi's people
or whoever decided to set this up. These pro wrestlers
are like, oh, yeah, we'll just do something as a
part of the match to make it up to you,
right as as an act of good faith.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Raja is not a worker.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He has no idea that this is supposed to be worked,
or at least he doesn't want it to be worked.
He's still clearly pissed about the whole thing, so to
include him in the match is a terrible idea. I
got it doesn't have any pro wrestling experience, I don't
care what his dad did at TNA or wherever else,
and is clearly not well adjusted, doesn't care about this
fake shit, and is looking to hurt something. So again,
I just wanted to give you broader context. This wrestler
(09:28):
apologizes multiple times to Raja. It's like, Hey, I didn't
mean anything by it. I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.
I apologize. I thought you were a pro wrestler. You're
clearly not. I thought the camera was like you doing
your thing. That's not the case. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
So that's what we call ending it right. It should
end right there.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Raja should have no other reason to do what he's
about to do. There is no excuse for it at all. Now,
at that being said, this show decides to put Raja
in a match, or at least in a spot of
a match. He is going to be in the match
with the guy at least in some fashion, which again
is a terrible idea. But here's him at least explaining
(10:06):
what was told to him.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
And I'm gonna have some pushback on him not.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Scripting, bro, I don't know when his matches. No, they
didn't tell me to fake. Listen, I can hit him
for real. Yeah, they allowed me to hit him for real.
If he hits me back for real, I don't give
a fuck. I want him to.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So Rajah is saying that the promotion said you can
go in there and hit the guy during his match.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Show you guys did. They told me to hit him
and just lead somebody who pulled me off of them
and will lead.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I'm telling you I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Gonna hit him as many times as you can't watch.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And then you hear Roger say, I don't give a
fuck if he hits me back, I want him to.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
This this is where I have some pushback.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
There is no fucking way as a pro wrestling fan,
as someone who was trained in the business right here
in Orlando, Florida, down at Team three D Gym with
some of the batter dudes in the industry at least,
and the guys that understood the line between reel and
fake that pushed that line. I'm talking Team three D,
Bubba Devon, Billy Gunn.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There is no shot in hell that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
These people told a trained professional MMA fighter that he
could walk into their ring and punch one of their
wrestlers for real until someone pulled them up. Rakishi, someone
that worked in the business at the highest level, would
not allow his guys to get hit their shit kicked
in by an MMA fighter for absolutely no reason, all
because of whatever incident happened outside and was very quickly
(11:43):
resolved and apologized for.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Here's where I think one of two things is happening.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Either Rajah heard him say that we're going to work
with you in this match. We're going to have you
do a little work thing in the match, and he
took that to mean I get to do whatever I
want and punch this guy for real. Or he heard
we're going to allow you to work in the match,
and Rajah heard enough there and went, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They think it's going to be a work. They think
it's supposed to be fake.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I'm going to funck this guy up for real because
people got to quit disrespect to me and people got
to quit playing with me. This is where things turn
very badly because he did what's called in the business
taken to liberty. A guy that is a trained him
a fighter, a guy that understands he is a danger
to everyone around him if he so chooses to utilize
the skills he's learned and to use the aggression of
his chosen sport in a simulated combat zone. And again,
(12:29):
while this entire thing is stupid, to even include him
in a match, that's absolutely ridiculous and the promotion should
be ill liable for thinking that was a thing they
should do. I don't know about waivers or anything else
that was signed. That's completely asinine to think, Oh, yeah,
this guy just had a little bit of an issue
with our guy outside, so we need to work it
into a match. Brother, he's that's Rampay's Jackson's son. He's
(12:50):
going to bring the eyeballs. No, that's fucking stupid. You're
talking about someone that doesn't understand pro wrestling and he's
going to get in there and you can't control him.
What honestly really was probably said to Rajah, Hey, get
in the ring, take our guy down, and you know,
really throw some worked punches at him and make it
look like it's something, but don't actually fucking kill him,
and we'll let you stand up, get your hand raised
(13:11):
and look like the big tough guy that you clearly
fucking want to be. Now again, I'm getting a little
fired up because of what happens next. Here is the
actual video of Raja doing what he did getting into
the ring, which again apparently was told to him he
was allowed to do by the promotion. Absolutely fucking stupid.
But then he takes it a step further, takes liberties
(13:31):
with everybody in there that is not looking for a fight,
that is not looking to defend themselves from a fight,
because it's been agreed upon, apparently that he's gonna come
in and do some works, even though Raja is trying
to explain it, like, no, I can really go in
there and assault this guy, because when's that ever been
the case. Raja is twenty five years old. I don't
want to hear stupid kid making mistakes. This is not
acceptable in any walk of life where you just get
(13:52):
to go Yeah, no, the company said I can go
in there.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And beat his ass. Bullshit.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
There's clearly a fuck up from the company allowing him
to even get into the ring, but it was obvious
that he was not supposed to fucking murder the guy,
throw a couple of work punches, stand up and look
like the tough guy you clearly wanted to fucking be.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
But that's not what happened.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Instead, Rajah took things into his own hands and acted
like a complete fucking psycho. And I'm gonna play this video,
but we can't even show most of it, Leo, so
like we're gonna have to blur a lout of this.
But just know that he jumps into this ring and
damn near kills someone.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
So right away, single leg.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
This guy's knocked out cold, he's out hold just from
the takedown. Now again, just look at everybody around you.
This guy standing up at the commentary boot he realizes
that that takedown was not a worked takedown. He realizes
this is already gonna go out of control because Raja
slammed this dude on his fucking head and he proceeds
to throw twenty one te unanswered Haymakers at this.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Fool while he's already unconscious.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And the severity of violence and the lack of understanding
to stop and get off of this guy. And by
the way, again the referee, the other wrestler's probably being
a little shell shocked that this is real. No one's
stepping in, no security stepping is another complete fuck up
by this company.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Was it knockouts knocks? What's this company? Knocks? Pro Wrestling
a complete fuck up?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
All the way around from them, But a lack of
fundamental understanding to say, I'm going to kill this person
if I don't stop, or to have the want to
continue beating on an unconscious man until he is dead
is what you see here from Raja. No thought to stop,
(15:43):
no thought to hold up. This guy's gonna try to
stop him. Which makes this even worse because even in
Raj's own words, he said, I'm gonna throw punches and
someone's gonna pull me off. Well, here comes the guy
to pull Rajah off. And what's he do if he
knows that this is supposed to be how it's gonna
go and guys are there to pull him off, what's
he do? Nope, just keeps throwing, Just keeps throwing. Go
(16:07):
try to get again. Look, he tries to shove the
guy off again and keep throwing. This guy comes to
get him. He tries to let go of him and
get back to it. Then obviously all chaos breaks loose
(16:33):
and they try to hold on for dear life while
their buddy is laying there completely and utterly unconscious after being.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Attacked, mercilessly attacked.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Now that video as much as you guys could have
seen of it, and I don't think I can show
it all to you.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Just know that he slammed this guy on his head.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
He was out cold immediately there he landed twenty maybe
twenty one unanswered punches where the guy's body is convulsing
on the floor, whilst again Raja said, oh, I'm gonna
throw some punches and there guys are gonna pull me
off and that's what we're doing. Who in their right
mind would think that means throwing actual punches. And I
don't even know if that was the actual agreement as
to what was supposed to have happened. This is all
just from Raja himself, which clearly his decision making isn't
(17:13):
the greatest in the world. He's clearly not well adjusted upstairs,
so I have a little problem trusting what he's saying
at all. But if that was the case, and they
tried to pull him off him and he throws them
off and goes back for more, you're an absolute fucking
scumbag that has no ability to fucking think or whose
ego is so fragile.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
From what happened hours beforehand, where he had an.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Empty can kind of swung on the side of his
head very lightly, I might ask. And again it was
immediately apologized to when the situation was revealed that he
was not a part of the show or the festivities
or pro wrestling at all, and apparently was squashed in
that moment to then go and do that shit on
live camera.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What the fuck was he thinking? He wasn't thinking. I mean,
I don't even know why I'm asking that question.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I know what he was thinking. He was thinking, I'm
gonna fucking murder this guy. I'm gonna hurt this guy
to where no one can play me anymore, no one
can make me look like a bitch anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And that's not me exaggerating.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
This is what Roger said right after he committed full
on assault and probably attempted murder.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Hod fucker's playing with me, Bro real Ship. One of
them will bitch from fucking ben me trying to everybody
fucking playing with me and ship, and I'm always playing
and Ship. Call me bits and Ship. Not a fucking bitch. Bro.
At the end of the day, I'm stand off for
my fucking self because I'm tired everybody fucking playing with me.
Bro real Ship.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Come on, man, we're living, man, We're walking away. Bro,
Let's not tell this shites. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Come on, Roger, let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Let's go, Roger. Let's go, Roger. Let's go, Rogie. I'm
telling you, let's go. You listen to me. Listen to me, Roger.
You need to listen to me right now, Roger, Let's go.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
I don't give you sh Let's go. You are gonna
do shit to me.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Bro, can't sht to me.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Can't fuck with me, brother, Let's can't fuck with me.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I'm I'm shot.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
How genuinely fragile Rajah Jackson's ego is. I mean, this
is a real life looking to someone who legitimately thought
that beating a helpless man senseless, being a guy who thought,
at the very most you guys were gonna do a
little worked kind of situation. Beating the shit out of
(19:22):
him until you almost kill him was a way of saying,
I'm standing up for myself. I'm not a bitch. What
and then he yells out, well, y'all jump me, y'all
jump me. No one is fighting but you, you moron. There
was not supposed to be any fighting going on. Talking
about jumping this and jumping that, y'all gotta quit playing
me like I'm a bitch. Who the only person that
(19:43):
made themselves look like a bitch here, the only person
that made themselves look like an absolute moron, who made
themselves look completely unhinged and like they need to be
ridiculed and honestly put behind bars for aggravated assault and
potentially more. Is Rajah Jackson like he's living in a
different reality than what is actually happening. No one jumped
(20:04):
him and no one created him like a bitch. There
was a situation that shouldn't have happened earlier on in
the day. It was a misunderstanding and one that was
quickly resolved apologized.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For profusely that I think, in.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
My own opinion, Rajah Jackson used when he heard they
were going to allow him to be a part of
the pro wrestling match. He took advantage of that situation
to be like, Oh, you punked me on my stream.
You hit me with that can on my stream. Fuck
that apology. I'm gonna hit you back, and I'm gonna
try to hit you until you stop fucking move scumbag shit.
And again, I don't see how he's not charged here.
(20:35):
I really don't see how he's not charged. And I'm
not even trying to make this like how could you
do this to this former veteran with PTSD.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But this is the guy that Raja attacked.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Bro in two thousand and nine. I had just got
out of the military, probably about six months earlier. I
got out of the military, I joined Knox bro you know,
because I needed something to focus on. I needed something
to help me adjust back into civilian life. You know,
a lot of it's hard for them to readjust in
this civilian life coming from the life of the military.
(21:05):
I'm an American soldier that suffers from PTSD. Being in
front of a crowd, it doesn't give me as much
anxiety and aggression as I thought it would.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Like, this guy clearly does pro wrestling as his way
of coping with what he's gone through overseas. But the
way that Rajah Jackson treated this guy, this whole situation
is just unbelievable. Now, the last thing that I want
to talk about is Rampage Jackson's response to his son
doing this on live stream. Number one, I want to
say this Rampage had nothing to do with this, and
(21:33):
for me to act like I know the situation of
Rampage his family life at home.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'm not going to do that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Rampage was on stream as well with Sneako and found
out about it live. They ended the stream and this
is what Rampage had to say about the entire incident
after he said I wanted to clear up the misinformation
about my son Rajah. First off, again, we'll get into
what he actually says, but probably the worst fucking way
you could start a tweet about your son maliciously and
(22:00):
viciously assaulting someone to the point where they were out
cold and did not wake up for a very long time. Apparently,
according to the to the pro wrestlers that were trying
to get Psycho Stu is the name of the wrestler
trying to get him to wake up. Apparently it took
a very long time and maybe even til he got
to the hospital for him to wake up.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I don't even know what his status.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is currently, But starting off on a terrible foot here
Rampage talking about the misinformation about your son.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We saw him on camera beat a man senseless.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Anyway, I've been confirmed that the wrestler Stuart Smith aka
Psycho Stu, is awake and stable. Raja was unexpectedly hit
in the side of the head by him moments before
Smith's match, and Raja was told that he could get
his payback.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
In the ring. I thought it was a part of
the show.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Now again, we have the footage to show that, Yes,
Raja was hit unexpectedly with an empty can on the
side of the head in a very worked way.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It wasn't a full swing of that can.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
There was nothing in that can to hurt him, and
it was clearly done as a way to be a
part of whatever skit Stu, the wrestler psycho Stu thought
Raja was doing with the camera and the live stream
and him thinking that Raja was a pro wrestler. What
Rampage is not saying here, and it's a bit disingenuous
for Rampage to do, and we have all the footage
is that not only was this not just before the match,
(23:20):
this was immediately followed by a profuse apology from Stu
and the other pro wrestlers around that did not know
that Raja was a worker, that did not know Raja
wasn't a pro wrestler, and the whole situation was resolved
right there. He then goes on and says, Raja was
told he could get his payback in the ring, and
then there's a comment I thought it was a part
of the show. So if Raja was told him he
(23:40):
could get his payback in the ring, which again I
assume he is getting from his son telling him that
that's what the pro wrestling company told him, and them
meaning Rampage, and Raja legitimately thinking that that meant Rajah
could go into that ring, pick up this wrestler, slam
him on his head, and throw punches at him continuously until.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
The guy died.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
That's what they thought the payback in the ring was.
Rampage knows better. He's been on movie sets, he has
worked in pro wrestling before. He knows what a work is,
and that's not it bullshit. Now again, Rakishi's company, this
Knox Wrestling Company, They're gonna have some fault in vault
here as well for even proposing the fact that Raja
(24:21):
should get in the ring with their pro wrestlers.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Because he's not trained. He clearly doesn't understand the business.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And even if you tell him it's supposed to be fake,
even if you tell him to go in there and
not throw real punches, you can't control what he does
as a guy that's not well adjusted, as a guy
that's still clearly pissed off, has a temper issue, has
a fragile ego, and is looking to hurt people. That's
on them too. It was bad judgment and a work
that went wrong. Yeah, no, that's bullshit. Raja was not
(24:47):
working at all. Raja was not faking any of that.
He was looking to go in there and hurt that
guy again, Rampage. This is all shit, dude, This is
all bad, terrible, terrible, terrible response. Raja is an MMA fighter,
not a pro wrestler, and had no b this is
being involved in the event like this.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
True.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I don't condone my son's actions at all. He suffered
a concussion sparring only days ago and had no business
doing anything remotely close to physical contact. Okay, yeah, I
mean sure, him suffering a concussion and sparring days ago, Okay, yeah,
he shouldn't be involved with any physical activity because concussions
are a real thing. But trying to use that as
the way to say, oh, my son was suffering concussion
(25:24):
symptoms and that's how this potentially could happen, Like using
that as as a defense in some way is again
just a terrible look for Rampage. If that's what he's
trying to do, then and he goes as a father,
I'm deeply concerned with his health and the well being
of mister Smith. That being said, I'm very upset that
any of this happened. But my main concern now is
that mister Smith make a speedy recovery. I apologize on
(25:44):
his behalf and to kick for the situation. I mean, yeah,
Rampage is trying to protect his son, but you just can't.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You can't say some of this stuff. You can't come
out right away.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And I'm sure whatever legal representation they're going to try
to get, because there is going to have to be
some legal representation, like the lawsuit if they're if not
for criminal chargers that are gonna get pressed, the lawsuit
itself is gonna fucking hit Rampage in his wallet. To
start this tweet off by saying, I want to clear
up the misinformation.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It was a work that went wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
He was told he could get his payback in the ring,
and he puts payback in quotes. They better have that
in writing or in voice form somewhere. That's just a bad,
bad response from Rampage for what potentially can happen legally
in this situation, and this entire, entire situation is the
fault of his son. Nofans or butts about it. His
(26:34):
son chose to go into that ring and make a
statement to everybody else out there that he was the
tough guy by intentionally trying to hurt that pro wrestler,
and I only have to assume it was because of
that incident earlier on that Rojer clearly didn't get over
that it stung his ego that it was on live
and his chat was probably clowning in for it, and
he was probably looking at his kick Chat and going, oh,
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, And there's a bunch
(26:55):
of fucking twelve and thirteen year olds in his.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Livestream chat going yeah, going there, fuck him up.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
And a twenty five year old man can't make the
adult decision to say, you know what, whatever is going
on in this little fucking internet chat on my phone
is not worth me potentially going to jail for a
very long time, or worth me losing my screws and
murdering someone or attempting to assault them.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
In a way that leaves them permanently damaged. Roja Jackson
didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
He fed into He allowed himself and his ego to
go in there and take advantage of the situation and
put a fucking beating on this guy's psychos. To Roger
Jackson's not an example of a kid making a mistake.
He's an example of a scumbag using an opportunity to
assault someone as a way to say I'm not a
bitch and y'all are going to stop playing with me.
That's an absolutely egregious, egregious use of combat sports and
(27:44):
martial art experience. This is the thing that you get
into martial arts for to stop guys like Rajah Jackson
from doing it to people that can't protect themselves. You
get into martial arts to be able to defend yourself from.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Psychos like that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And the first thing you learn when a part of
martial arts and any different disciplines is that you are
a walking weapon.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You are someone that has.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
The means to inflict violence, but through the martial arts,
learn the control to not do so, learn the discipline
and the humility to not use your physical actions but
instead to de escalate in all situations, and yeah, man,
this is just fucking stupid. And listen, I offer a
lot of opinions here on combat sports, but this may
be the first time where I offer the opinion that
Roger Jackson should.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Be in jail for what he did here.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
This is inexcusable and this is no offense to Rampage
or anybody else. I know that's his father, but there
is no excuse. There is none, And it's not some
sixteen year old kid, seventeen year old kid, eighteen year
old kid.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That's a twenty five year old man.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That made a choice to damn near in someone's life
over his ego. I'll even go as far as say
a little bit of clout and standing on business. I
told you guys, the internet has fried people's brains, and
it really has. And if you're defending this, you're one
of those people. Completely awful. But yeah, that's the situation.
I don't know what's gonna happen next here. Pray for
the safety of stoop that was on the other.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Side of this. Just complete and utter vicious assault.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I hope this is a signal to live streaming entities
like kick like Twitch and anybody that's on those platforms
that you are always you are developing a digital footprint
of your actions, and hopefully this is a signal to
everybody looking to do the next biggest thing for Cloud,
everybody looking to press people and get in fights and
(29:25):
everything ego driven and nobody being able to take a
step back and take a breath and say this is
not the right place, the right time. This is going
to turn out badly. Hopefully this is an example of
what not to do and what combat sports and MMA
and true martial arts are not meant for complete scumbag
move from Rajah Jackson, and I'd have to think charges
are at least going to be pressed and filed and
(29:47):
what happens next.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I don't have those answers, but I guess we'll find
out
