Mark Henry: Syko Stu shares blame for Raja Jackson incident

Mark Henry says Syko Stu shares some of the blame for the incident at a KnokX Pro event on Saturday that left him with serious injuries.

Stu was injured after being knocked unconscious by a slam and then repeatedly punched by Raja Jackson, son of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. As of the latest update, Stu is awake and able to remember some of what happened but remains in critical care.

Henry spoke with TMZ about the incident, saying Stu should not have agitated Jackson by hitting him with a beer can before the show.

“You’ve got to be careful, one, who you’re messing with,” Henry said. “And, two, what kind of example are you as a veteran for inciting a riot with a kid?”

Henry was referring to a pre-show altercation where Stu, believing Jackson was a wrestler, hit him with a worked beer can shot to the head. Another video shows Jackson later accepting Stu’s apology.

“If indeed what I saw was what I saw, which is people before the show, during the day time, drinking and intoxicated or partially intoxicated,” Henry continued. “And you bust a bottle over a guy’s head and talk trash like that guy was not going to do nothing, yeah, you’re at fault.”

As of this writing, the GoFundMe page for Stu has raised over $73,000. Donors include Chris Jericho, Rusev, Ariya Daivari, Cezar Bononi, and others.
