Very bad Buff Bagwell news

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Shit, that's not good.

He beat the guy up so bad blood was coming out of his ears. Rampage better get ready to pay this guy.

[Big Boss Man]

Apparently they one of WWE ID schools too, allegedly run by Rikishi.

Story from what I gather, Rampage's son got concussed in MMA training a few days prior, white guy hits him in the head with a beer, he's told do a run in & get your receipt, think I read he's told to throw shoot punches too. Remember he a MMA fighter so he'd know how to throw hands

In the video you see he already KO's white guy with the takedown slam, then goes to town with the punches on an already KO'd man.

Does white guy deserve a receipt if the beer thing isn't planned, even if it was, you don't hit a newly concussed person in the head - so yes

Did Rampage son go overboard with the punches - he did,

once Rampage son saw he was KO'd from the takedown, he could've thrown some worked punches, he KO'd white guy with the takedown, that's his receipt, but maybe because he was concussed he thought he was in a MMA fight or sparring session & just snapped in a fit of anger. Idk.

The ref should've stepped in after he saw white guy was unresponsive too, incredibly bad look for all concerned, especially when they're associated with WWE.

Rampage son will no doubt be in a whole heap of trouble too, if he concussed he shouldn't have even been involved in all this anyway.

No place for this in pro-wrestling at all, even in MMA, ref sees KO fighter he's signalling fights over.

Reminds me a little of when Brock threw real punches at Braun Strowman, again Lesnar is a trained MMA fighter & can throw real heavy hitting punches.

It's definitely a wrestling promotion of guys Rikishi trained and his pictures are all over the KnokX website. I don't think Raja Jackson was training there. He was invited to do an angle because he's got a little bit of fame as a streamer on Kick.

On a plus side, it's good to hear Stu went home from hospital, he's got major grounds to both sue & press criminal charges on Rampage's son, Dave & Bryan saying about the LAPD getting involved. It was all recorded, there's witnesses, he's the aggressor too, essentially attacking a defenceless opponent as he was KO'd. Dave counted like 21 unanswered punches, not looking good, definitely an assault charge there, maybe even worse if it's true he flatlined.

Stu's nephew says he is still in the hospital. He's not going to die from this, but it's not good

[Bandit]

[Big Boss Man]

My bad, I thought I heard Bryan say Stu's out of hospital. He was lucky the wrestler with the locs saw Rampage son was shooting & quickly got into the ring & essentially saved Stu's life.

[Bandit]

There was incorrect information, from Rampage's tweet, that he was out so that's what everyone initially thought.

In other news WWE has cut ties with Rikishi and he's not allowed to advertise the WWE name on his shows anymore. But I predict he will be back when this blows over because he's part of The Rock's Samoan informal family

[Big Boss Man]

OK, I'd imagine Stu's dealing with multiple concussions & contusions, I believe dental issues too. Looks like one punch broke his nose too.

As this was an indie, I don't think the ref would've have comms with Gorilla?, so he couldn't say Rampage's son is shooting, bring the boys out to help.

Say a fan jumped in the ring in WWE or AEW & did this, the locker room empties & rushes into the ring, he'd maybe gets the takedown slam in, but here the ref did absolutely nothing. Sidebar story is one guy has beef with Stu & got at him thru Raj so it's such a messed up shady situation.

Another thing I read Tom shared a clip from a podcast where the boys at Rikishi promotion have been told to keep quiet about it, it's all in the public domain now & the guy I believe he's called The Epic deserves major props for saving Stu, I believe if he were in ring at first he'd have stopped it right away, which the ref should've done.

[Bandit]

If that's true they are beyond scum. They should have no loyalty helping Raja Jackson. They should be loyal to their guy.

[Big Boss Man]

Definitely, unfortunately it doesn't surprise me whatsoever, it's the whole carny thing. Epic seems a stand up guy though so he should speak up for Stu & he stopped Raja catching a murder charge.

I believe the cowboy hat guy seems to have beef with Stu as you can see he was stirring it up & told Raja to get his receipt. He's just as bad as he knew Jackson is MMA trained & not going to pull his punches.
