Another Outlaw Mudshow Wrestling Incident...

[Webster]

NEW: Rampage Jackson releases a statement after his son brutally beat a wrestler, reportedly sending him to the hospital.

Raja Jackson said he carried out the attack because he was tired of people “playin” with him.

In response to the incident, Rampage Jackson released the following statement: “I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler ( Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable.”

“Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match, Raja was told that he could get his “payback”in the ring,i thought it was apart of the show. It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong.”

“Raja is a MMA fighter not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this. I don’t condone my son’s actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.”

“As a father, im deeply concerned with his health AND the well being of Mr. Smith. That being said I’m very upset that any of this happened,but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery. I apologize on his behalf and to KICK for the situation.”

I get you're following the Cornette philosophy that anytime something happens in another company that isn't WWE it's a outlaw mudshow or what have you, but from what I gathered, this company Is not at fault at all. The story, which wasn't reported at all in the links provided, was that the wrestler Rampage's kid assaulted had thought that it was an angle because they were filming and hit him with a worked punch involving a beer can. Apparently they shook hands afterwards and the plan was for him to get his payback later on in the show, as a segment. THats when you see him jump the guardrail and beat the fuck outta the guy. The said company's also been in business for 17 years and is affiliated with WWE under their ID program.

For the record, I slag everyone - WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, etc., etc. - everyone, Dead. You should know that by now; as long as we've talked about wrestling both here and back from GWF, you should know how I think most times w/regards to wrestling. And yes, I am a big fan of Jim Cornette, warts and all; so what? Even I disagree w/some of the things he's said and done over the years and I've made clean when those times are.

My problem here, Dead, is that they brought in someone who's not a trained professional wrestler (yes I know Raja's an MMA fighter; different conversation there) to essentially do a wrestling storyline and the result was an aggravated assault that, given how the average non-wrestling fan views the business, will paint everyone - fan and competitor - with the same tired old Phil Mushnick-style dirty brush.

The said company's also been in business for 17 years and is affiliated with WWE under their ID program.

That makes it worse. Odds are, WWE's going to have a nice little chat with whatever the name of this promotion is because this is not something you expect from something affiliated with the evil Fed (to quote the average AEW fan's opinion of WWE most days).

Speaking of things owned by Tony Khan Florida Crackheads, how did Forbidden Door go tonight?
