Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rampage Jackson losing his mind. This week we talk about
this because this is something that I don't I can't
understand what's happening right now in this Rajah Jackson psychoste,
Rampage Jackson assault, and just the outcomes that have now
kind of fallen out from the entire situation. It's so weird,
and there's a lot of just like shifting of blame
(00:22):
and not taking accountability. And I'm not sure how Rajah
Jackson hasn't been arrested yet, but it's just it's the
whole situation is insane, and when you look at obviously
the person and the people involved with it, Rampage had
nothing to do with this specific situation. It was Rajah Jackson.
It was pro NOx wrestling allowing him to do what
he did, or allowing him putting him in position to
(00:43):
do what he did. And outside of that, there's really
no other blame to be placed. But watching Rampage respond
to this and continually like point the finger at everybody,
but I mean, honestly, his son for what's happening is baffling.
It's so weird. What I saw was yesterday Rampage put
this on Instagram. So I wanted to read it with
you guys. This is crazy to me, He says, Uh,
(01:05):
this has gone too far. I'm sick of being quiet
and letting all these low IQ people fall for clickbait. Yes,
my son took things too far, and I'm pissed at
him for being a piece of shit and the way
he handled it. But if Psycho Stu wasn't drunk and
wouldn't have hit my son over the head with a
real beer can while he was live streaming on his
own stream, then Knox wouldn't have felt like they had
(01:29):
to make things right by letting Raja get his quote
get back in the ring. So let's stop there. Number one,
He's right about this, at least part of he is
right that if Psycho Stu did not hit Raja in
the head with a beer can, none of us are
talking about this. That's fair to say, But to act
like what Psycho Stu did hitting him with the empty
(01:50):
beer can, because that's what it was. It was an
empty beer can sitting there, and he hit him with it,
not in a way that was gonna hurt Raja. Clearly
let up on it, clearly was him moving it to
his head and not trying to actually hurt him with it,
but no matter what he hit him with. But in
no way, shape or form, was him hitting him with
that can justification for what Raja was going to do
later in the night. So yes, two things can be
(02:11):
true at once. One, Psycho Stu hitting him with the
can did have the starting point of all this unraveling.
But number two, the unraveling was not because of the
beer can incident, because that was apologized for multiple times
after the fact, in which Raja accepted. He accepted the apology,
Pronox telling Raja he could get his get back and
trying to make this into an angle like, let's work, brother,
(02:32):
We're always working. Brother. There are a bunch of morons,
a bunch of in the wrestling morons that thought, oh yeah,
this will be a good angle for us to work
because this kid's a live streamer and he's got an audience,
so we're gonna turn this into a work. Brother. First off,
the whole thing even being a work is insane to me,
because as soon as they found out that Raja wasn't
a wrestler, wasn't trying to work, they should have Will
(02:53):
you know what, it's probably not a good idea for
this kid to be anywhere near wrestling ring, especially after
we just had an alter kate. We need to for
sure send this guy home or just don't have him
involved with the show. Just don't do that. Don't have
him involved in the show. There's already been a situation.
Why make another one. He doesn't know what this is
or how to like differentiate apparently, so don't do it.
(03:17):
So what Rampage says so far, you know, okay, he's
pissed at his son from being a piece. I don't
know what the low IQ comment was. I don't know
what that was. But there's no clickbait in what Raja did, right,
Like Rampage saying, oh, you know, these lo IQ people
are falling for the clickbait. What's the clickbait? There's no clickbait.
Your son tried to kill a man. That's not clickbait.
That's what happened, right, So, so that comment I don't understand,
(03:37):
but him saying, you know, it wouldn't have happened if
STU didn't do that, Yeah, okay, sure, but we continue.
If my son would have just went to the police
when the beer can incident happened, then the whole event
could have gotten shut down and he could have sued.
But no, my son is not as smart as I'd
like for him to be. So again, I don't know
this comment either, Like my son should have sued for
the beer can incident and shut the thing down. That's
what That's what we should have done. If that's how
(03:58):
rampage feels, Okay, I don't know how that has any
relevance as to what was eventually going to happen. Like
we can all play Monday Morning quarterback and say, Raja
if he just would have not gone to the event,
if Raja would have skipped the wrestling event and went
and played the lottoh, he could have won a million dollars.
You know what I'm saying, Like, what are we doing?
He sure he could have gone to the police, but
that was clearly not what Raja wanted to do and
clearly not what he was inclined to do. After they
(04:20):
shook hands and Stu apologizes multiple times, Raja accepts the
apology and says, Okay, that's it. That's where it should
have been. Again, I don't know what rampage is even
getting at, Like, oh, my son should have sued them first,
my son should have done The point isn't like if
rampage is focused on the wrong thing, it's okay to say,
you know what, Yes, Stuke should not have hit him
with an empty beer can. And again he didn't hurt
(04:40):
him with the beer can. He hit him with an
empty beer can that was clearly worked to look like
he hit him with a beer can. So that Raja again,
according to Stu, who he thought was a wrestler, would
try to sell it. But the real thing we should
be talking about here is none of that to get Okay,
you're upset about that part of it, but let's talk
about the part that is the clear wrongdoing and had
no no reason, no justifiable reason to happen at all.
(05:02):
Your son, who is not a kid. And I hate
hearing people say the kid the kid. He's not. He
is a twenty five year old grown man that took
an opportunity that again I don't know what Pronox was saying,
go back there and get your get back. That took
an opportunity fueled on by Rampage, by the way, and
the kid's kick chat talking about oh you're not gonna
do it, do da Rampage calling him during the show
(05:23):
and be like I heard you were getting touched on
by grown men clowning him for them to n like
finally snap go over the edge and completely lose and
try to kill the guy. That hasn't been mentioned yet.
But there's more. But no, my son is not as
smart as I'd like for him to be. Now, my
family and I are getting racist threats because of all
the misinformation posted so content creators can get paid from viewers. Now,
(05:43):
first off, there's no reason for anybody to start being
racist toward Rampage or anybody else in his fan right.
There's no no need for that at all, racist remarks,
none of that's needed. You can say that Rajah Jackson
is completely and utterly responsible. We're almost killing it, and
he should be treated like anybody else that commits at
the very least aggravated assault, in my opinion, attempted murder
(06:07):
without having to throw racial epithets out. Rampage is more
upset about his family getting the racist threats, which I
completely understand, But we haven't even talked about the thing
that people are upset about, and the thing that obviously
Rampage's his son, So he doesn't want to have to
keep addressing it. But he's on kick every single day,
hanging out with whoever the fuck, going to bowling alleys,
(06:28):
sleeping over with fucking Neon. You would think now would
be the time where you lay low for a little bit.
Now would be the time where, hey, maybe it's not
a good idea to go out in public and do
these irl streams. We're gonna have more people trying to
debait you, rage bait and everything else, or just bring
up the situation, just like they did to Roger right
before he went and assaulted the guy. So no, I don't
agree with anybody sending any sort of racist comments toward
(06:50):
Rampage or his family. That scumbag shit. But Rampage is
fueling this fire, like continuing to act negligent as to
what happened here and doing a lot of the finger point, Oh,
my son was concussed from sparring my son. He's not
as smart as he should be. We get that, But
also you got to own up to what he did.
You have to, and I would stop addressing it. If
(07:12):
I'm Rampage, I would stop trying to talk about it
because it feels like he takes the shovel out and
digs himself further and further away from the truth. He
was the more justification for other stuff happening either before
or since you can't get to the sense without what
he did, and just talking about what happened before doesn't
address it either. But the more he keeps doing it,
the more people are gonna try to bait him, The
(07:32):
more people are gonna try to keep bringing the situation up.
They're gonna bring the assault up. They're gonna bring up
the fact that his son almost killed the guy and
would have had the guy I pulled him off. Secondly,
I'm going to cover something that happens in combat sports
as atrocious as this. Why would I not cover that?
Why would I want to bring a light? I would
want to bring a light to this and show and
showcase like I did Stu's go fund me and try
(07:54):
to get more people involved in helping him and condemning
the actions of Rajah Jackson. The way this works, that's
how any news coverage works. Except we have the ability
as YouTubers to also lend a hand by donating and
offering up a place to donate to help Stu out.
Because listen, I live in California. I know healthcare out
here is fucking awful, and looking at the situation, I'm
(08:16):
not sure that Stu has any health insurance and if
he does, it's probably not great. The point I'm making
is this is kind of what I do. This is
our job. Of course, we get paid from doing our job. Anyway,
we keep going. People actually think my son just snuck
in a ring in front of a live audience and
picked up Psycho Stu without permission to be there. Get smart, people.
It was staged, but Raja took it too far. See,
this is the thing I can't stand. The only thing
(08:37):
that was staged and rampage doing again, he's doing this
thing where it was like, nah, it was all stage.
It was supposed to happen, but Raja took it too far. No, incorrect.
The only thing that was staged that Raja did was
get into the ring the moment he picked Psycho stew
up and dumped him on his head for a shoot,
meaning for real, no more of that was stage zero
(08:59):
was stage from that point he slammed him on his
head and can cussed him immediate. That wasn't stage. He
used an opportunity of things that were supposed to be stage.
It was supposed to be something for him to get
into the ring and have a little bit of a
worked back and forth with Psycho Steu. But that's not
what happened. Okay, he got permission to be in the ring,
he did not get permission to slam Stew on his
fucking head and damn near killing. Those are different things.
(09:21):
And again to try to soften the blow here by
being like, yeah, Roger just took it too far. No,
he blatantly went against any of the actual parameters of
pro wrestling and just did whatever the fuck he wanted
when everybody else in the ring thought it was stage.
So it again kind of makes it worse because they're
all there. Psycho Stu's like, okay, he's gonna pick me
up and dump me here, no big deal. Stu is
allowing him to do it, and Roger still slams him
(09:43):
on his fucking head, knocks him out, and then punches
him twenty three times. Not stage. It's not taking it
too far. That's in the business we call it going
into business for yourself. In real life we call it
aggravated assault and potentially at temptmurder. That's what that is
he only shook his hand and accepted Psycho Stu's drunken
apology because they said he could get it In the storyline, again,
(10:03):
do you see like the drunken apology one? I agree
that Psycho Stu or any of the workers shouldn't be
drinking before they go in, right, shouldn't be doing it
or grown adults, but shouldn't be drinking on the job.
I agree with that, But what is the framing behind
the apology? If Stu is sober, then he's not going
to apologize. Is that? Is that like the framing of
this like, oh, he was just drunk and that's why
I apologize, or his apology wasn't real because he was drunk.
(10:25):
I don't What are we talking about? The man apologized
because he didn't know that Rajah Jackson was not a wrestler.
He apologized because he mistakenly thought something that was incorrect
and did something that he shouldn't have. That's why you
apologized for someone. Are we talking about, Oh, hey, he's
only he was a drunken apology and again he only
shook his hand and accepted Psycho Stu's drunkn apology because
they said he could get it get in the storyline.
(10:47):
So if he didn't accept it, or what's Roger going
to do in that Moment's he gonna assault him there?
Instead of shaking his hand, he assault him earlier? Is
that is that the better option?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What are we talking about? He only shook his hand
and accepted it because they were gonna allow him to
get it back. Okay, let's say they don't him to
get it back. He just fucks him up right there
we're talking about. And then he says he was told
he could quote fuck him up. I have witnesses that
says this isn't the first time Psycho Stu had done
some drunk shit backstage to a fan. Okay, well, if
you have witnesses, then let's hear those witnesses. Let's hear
(11:17):
what the drunk shit was. But again, Rampage is right
that one of these morons told Raja that he could
go and tag somebody. Shit, that was that dude in
the cowboy hat with the fucking baby oil all over him,
the guy that thought he was a real pro wrestler. Stupid.
Accountability needs to be enforced across all sides of this thing.
That guy's a fucking moron and I'm pretty sure they
banned him from wrestling over there. But yeah, he's an idiot.
(11:38):
But what again, I don't understand this, this justification. Well,
Stuart always Stu. He's always doing some drunk shit and
he drunk apologized, right, he just keeps using drunk, drunk apology,
drunk shit backst Okay, none of it, None of it
justifies what Raja did at all. All this shows me
is that there's a lack of accountability from Raja and
(11:59):
now Rampage. If you're tired of hearing about what your
son did, then get off line. If you're tired of
trying to defend it or defend your son, then stop
doing it. Be there for your son, and don't be
on live stream taking random days to go out and
do whatever the fucking public where people are going to
eventually ask you about this. That's how it works online.
(12:19):
It's free game for these kids, by the way, that
are in your kickchat and definitely in Raja's kickchat, that
are looking to get a rise out of you. Get
off the internet because shit like this makes it worse.
Now we have the backstory that my son attacked an
innocent military vet with PTSD, like, my son knew everything
about that man that came up from behind him and
hit him then asked him to sell it. He didn't
(12:41):
come up from behind Raj. Raja was standing right in
front of him. And first off, if you're gonna act like, oh, man,
if you're gonna sit here and say oh like Raja
didn't know that man was a military vet with PTSD,
it doesn't matter that he was a military vet with PTSD.
That's just part of the things that he also deals with.
If he was not a military vet, didn't I PTSD
and your son tried to kill him, he still tried
(13:03):
to kill him, He still assaulted him. Like there's things
that have come out after just happened to be who
the guy is. Just like when Rampage said, well, my son,
my son just had a conngussion a couple of days ago.
He shouldn't have been there, Okay, doesn't change what he did,
just like Stu being a military vet doesn't change what
he did. It's certainly a nice thing to see that
a military vet has an outlet for his PTSD and
(13:24):
goes to pro wrestling shows like this to help with it,
but it isn't the reason that any of this happened.
Rampage is like, ah yeah, if it was, if it
wasn't a military vet, then no worries, no one to
be talking about it. No, we'd be talking about it
because it's a sick act. Man, it's assault. I have
other kids to protect and I don't take kindly to threats. Again,
I don't think anybody should be threatening Rampage Jackson. But again,
the nature of the Internet is you're gonna get these
(13:46):
goofball kids that are gonna d in you some crazy
shit because you keep giving them opportunities and feeding the
beast when you respond to stuff the way he's responding
and continue to be on livestream in this whole time
while his son's going through this, and I don't know
what the if there's gonna be charges laid down from
I'm surprised there's not charges laid down from the laped.
But also don't act like Rampage isn't also someone that
(14:07):
was trolling him on that same night. Not to say
Rampage caused this, because he didn't. That's not fair to say,
but he's also that same night. You can see the
dynamic between Rajah and Rampage that night, the dynamic between
father and son. He's calling up a son being like, yeah,
I heard you was getting what he say, pushed up
on by sweaty men heard you heard you was you
know he was trolling him. It's like your son's clearly
(14:28):
upset about something. They're cursing back and forth at each other,
and now it's like, oh, I'm protecting, I'm protecting. I
don't know, man, it was it was weird watching that.
I said it on my video. I couldn't imagine not
to not to compare situations, and I'm not gonna act
like I know the situation of rampage and his son,
but I can never imagine dropping an F bomb talking
to my father. I can't imagine my father doing some
shit like that, calling me and being like, hey, you know,
(14:50):
and when I have I'm seriously upset about something. I'm
not scared of prison or dying for my kids and
calling me names won't hurt my feelings. I mean, he
made this entire Instagram post clearly, but because someone got
under his skin, Like when you tell people, oh, you're
not hurting my feelings while in a diatribe about, you know,
addressing people that are either hurting your feelings or that
are in your DMS. It falls on deaf ears like
(15:11):
you're doing. You're responding to the people you're saying aren't
hurting you know what I'm saying, like you do all this.
Clearly someone got under your skin. My son should face
the consequences for going too far. He knows better. Okay, fair,
we agree. That's all really that Rampage needed to say here.
My son did something that he should face the consequences for,
and from that point on he will grow and change
as a man. I can't excuse his actions, but that's
(15:34):
still my son, and I will be by him through whatever.
That's all he needed to say. My son will face
consequences for what he did. You should not have done it.
I apologize everybody involved. He will change and he will
grow and he will be better for it. If he
just left it there, there is no more poking fun
at him. There is no more like trying to get
under Rampage of skin. Is that he keeps addressing it
and keeps using little qualifiers for it that people keep
(15:56):
getting upset about. That's why he didn't tell me anything
about the storyline. I don't know what that means, but
Psychostu is lucky. I wasn't there when he hit my
son over the head with a beer can the day
after he got a concussion from sparring the day before.
I wouldn't have cared if a bunch of pro wrestlers
would have jumped me. I'm a father. First, play stupid games,
win stupid prizes. Let's all learn a lesson. Keep your
(16:16):
damn hands to yourself. So again, he goes from saying
my son should face the consequences for taking it too far,
but if I was there, I would have taken it
too far. He's basically saying he would have assaulted him.
What is that? What are you talking about? Like, Oh,
my son should face the consequences. He knows he shouldn't
have done it, But if I was there, I would
have done it. What is that?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's just this is what tells me like there's there's
no computing to rampage or rajah, any sort of patrition
or again accountability for what it is. You can, in
one hand say my son should not have done what
he did. I don't appreciate my son being hit over
the head with a can, But what you're gonna if
you're there, you're gonna start swinging on everyone. This is
(16:55):
why this stuff happens. He started off the whole dietribe
here by saying my son should have gone to the place,
and then ended it off by being like, if I
was there, I would have kicked the shit out of everybody.
I agree with him. People should keep their hands themselves,
mainly his son. But can't justify this stuff, man, You
just can't. If you get paid to do fake fighting,
don't disrespect people that do this shit for real. Now
I put myself in this shit, DM me. Now what
(17:17):
is that?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
What does this end off here? Now? I put myself
in this shit DM me. Now, DM you for what
is Rampage's gonna run up on everyone that dms M
seeing like your son needs to go to jail. Your
son needs to face consequences for what he's done. What
is that? Just take some accountability. Don't encourage this back
and forth. If Rampage is watching something like this, just
don't encourage it. Like you, you're digging yourself deeper and
(17:39):
deeper by being like, yeah, DM me, now okay for what?
So you can run a fade with people in your
DMS You can show them what happens when they DM you.
You don't keep your hands to yourself. What are we
talking about? Man? This is insane to see just rampage.
You just need to stop. You need to stop you. Probably,
in my opinion, he should get off kick and leave
it alone. But he just can't. And I don't know
(17:59):
why he feels the need to keep doing this. Everybody,
myself included, can offer what could have, would have should
have happened in this scenario. But ultimately what did happen
was his son, after an incident that happened to him
earlier in the day that was apologized for that he
accepted unprovoked, went into a ring and damn near killed
a guy. And that's really it that needs to be accounted.
(18:20):
I am a little bit shocked that there is no
charges that have been filed right now. I don't know
if that's something that the LAPD is looking into or
what's gonna happen with it, but Raja does need to
face some consequences. Otherwise, what's the whole point of of law,
a system of laws. What's the point if we can't
see any sort of justification or any sort of justice
serve for what happened? What are we doing? I saw
(18:42):
that psychos Do is now home from the hospital, which
is good, but apparently he's still got some really really
bad injuries. But yeah, man, I just saw Rampage put
this out on Instagram, and I was like, what are
we doing? Like, how do we not learn throughout this
whole process that the only thing that's gonna make it
worse is continually either denying what happened or offering defense
for it, or trying to cushion the blow of it,
(19:04):
or outright just saying you would have done the same thing.
It's stupid, and Rampage keeps falling into this trap that
started kind of this whole thing online kiddos seeing in
his chat dming him online, getting his his ego involved
with this rage, baiting him so ultimately he can't control it,
and then he responds like this, it's bad. Rampage threatens
(19:27):
to sue mma, guru.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
First off, this is what I'm talking about. Hold on,
I gotta get a drink. But look at this, dude, Man,
we got wigs on, We're out I RL live streaming.
This is why this stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Dude, I got people like uh and then the guru
telling me to stop streaming, and he's trying to dig up,
to dig up the pass and stuff, and he opened
himself up for definmation of character. He's a fucking idiot.
He's talking about the time when I'd gotten uh that
car accident, and he's twisting the facts like I've I've
(20:00):
already like I've already, that's old. I already like did
interviews about it and told everything, And I never was speeding,
wasn't a high speed chase.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Then crashed and back of.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Somebody of going sixty months forever and no one had
a miscarriage that day, and all the only thing I
did on the damage I did was hit a side
view mirror.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't see what Rampage is gonna sue for here
and again, I just think this is all a bad
look man to be his age, Rampage is in his forties,
live streaming with only fans models. Again, he's a grown man.
He can do what he wants, suing these skits, hanging
out with these younger people, and like, I'm sure he's
making money. And by the way, maybe he's making money
to help, you know, with Roger's situation, because they're probably
gonna need some good defense lawyers here, so maybe, but
(20:44):
it's just weird, isn't it. You too seriously made a
cute couple which one of you is the picture and
who is the catcher? Do you take turns?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I'm not giving Mma Guru no clout. You know, he
already has a platform, but he can't use his platform
to try to tell me to stop streaming because my
son did. It's something that had nothing to do with me.
Like my life, My life goes on. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I I just I that answer to me. I just
can't fathom. I understand that if things happen around you,
even if they're detrimental, very detrimental to your family, that
you still have to live your life. I get that.
But what Rampage is doing right now is a choice.
This is not life or death for him. This is
not I have to go to work otherwise they're going
to foreclose on my house. You know what I'm saying.
This is not something he has to do to keep
(21:25):
the lights on. Or maybe he does. I don't know.
I don't know Rampage's financials, but judging by the fact
that he didn't start streaming until this year. I'd say
he's doing okay without it, But to make this choice
and just explain it in that way like I didn't
have anything to do with what he did, my life's
got to continue. It's just a weird thing. It's just
so odd to hear from a father talking about his son. Again,
I don't have kids, so maybe I just don't understand it.
(21:46):
But I know if that happened to me, my dad
would be turning over every stone he could to try
to be there for me, and it would be about me.
It wouldn't be about him. You know what I'm saying.
Not to be like questioning rampagees of dad. I don't
want to do that, but I'm just saying that whole
like a loll I didn't you got nothing to do
with me. I didn't do it, wasn't me, okay, but
that's your son, you know, so it does have something
to do with you. I just don't like that, man,
(22:07):
I don't like it. He's not technically wrong, like he
can do whatever he wants, but it just it feels,
like someone else said, it feels like he's treating Roger
like it's it's a friend of his that He's like, oh, well,
it wasn't it wasn't wasn't me, that was him, And

Speaker 2 (23:29):

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Bottom line, I think it's pretty pretty simple. Rampage needs
to lay low for a while. What he's doing is
not helping his case. When it comes to internet perception,
which I don't know if he even cares about it.
Seems like he cares a lot more than he says
he cares, and it's not helping his son's case when
it comes to the continual mixed messaging he wants to
send on it because there I assume there's eventually going
to be a court case, and all this stuff is evidence.
(23:53):
That's all This live stream is evident. And the more
Rampage addresses it in the way he is, he can't
be a good thing my opinion. But yeah, Rampage crashing
out on a daily on Instagram, on kick or wherever
not a good look. It's only going to continue making
the Rajah Jackson assault worse.
