A recent incident at KnokX Pro involving wrestler Raja Jackson and fellow performer Syko Stu (also known as Stuart Smith) has drawn significant attention in the wrestling community. During an event on Saturday, Jackson reportedly assaulted Stu, leading to severe injuries. In light of these developments, veteran wrestler and former WWE Superstar D’Lo Brown shared his insights with The Toronto Sun’s No Holds Barred.
Brown expressed his concern over the incident, noting that it could have been avoided through better management and communication. He remarked, “I only know what I’ve seen in the media, and it just seemed like a bad situation from the jump.” He emphasized the importance of ensuring that all individuals involved in wrestling events are appropriately informed about the dynamics and safety protocols within the industry.
In a statement, Brown extended his thoughts and prayers to Syko Stu, wishing him a speedy recovery from his injuries. “First of all, let’s give our thoughts and prayers to Stu and hopefully he makes a full recovery because that’s something that should never happen in wrestling,” he said.
Multiple Parties Involved
Brown further elaborated on the incident, highlighting that multiple parties may share responsibility for the altercation. He noted, “When you bring people in who don’t know what’s going on in your business or how to be a part of your business, they come in with a different mentality.” He believes that this lack of understanding can lead to dangerous situations, stating, “It should have never ever happened; let’s make that clear.”
The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating the incident, although no arrests have been made at this time. As the investigation unfolds, many in the wrestling community are hoping for changes that can prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Brown concluded his remarks by reiterating his support for Stu, urging everyone to focus on his recovery while addressing the systemic issues that contributed to this incident. “There’s a lot of people at fault, there’s a lot of people that could’ve done things differently,” he reflected. “Let’s just see how it plays out, but at the bottom line, I just want to wish Stu the best in his recovery.”
As the wrestling world processes this event, the focus remains on ensuring safety and understanding within the sport.
