It seems Raja Jackson’s violent outburst at a Knokx Pro Wrestling event in August has permanently sidelined Syko Stu. Douglas Malo, a friend who physically intervened during the attack, recently shared his thoughts with TMZ Sports. Malo, who helped pull Jackson off Stu, believes the wrestler’s in-ring days are done for good. And this is the part most people miss—Stu, whose real name is Stuart Smith, was already grappling with the wear and tear of a lifelong wrestling career before the incident.
Malo stated, ‘He wasn’t exactly in his prime before this happened. The damage from Raja’s attack was just too severe. I don’t think a comeback is even an option at this point.’
Despite the grim outlook, Malo revealed that Stu is recovering well, though they haven’t spoken directly. He’s been in touch with Stu’s inner circle and plans to reunite with his friend at an upcoming wrestling event honoring the injured star. ‘I can’t wait to see him,’ Malo said. ‘It’ll give me some closure. I just want to hug the guy.’
Malo also expressed hope that Stu could remain involved in wrestling in a non-physical capacity. Meanwhile, he’s relieved to see Raja Jackson finally facing charges—one felony count of battery with great bodily injury and one misdemeanor count of battery. Raja appeared in an L.A. court on Thursday but declined to comment.
Here’s where it gets even more heated: Malo hinted at a potential civil lawsuit against Raja, citing a hefty hospital bill he’s still responsible for. But here’s the question that’ll spark debate—did Raja’s actions cross the line from a heated moment to a career-ending assault? And should Stu’s legacy be defined by this incident, or is there still a role for him in the wrestling world?
What do you think? Is Stu’s career truly over, or is there room for a non-physical comeback? And does Raja deserve more than just criminal charges? Let us know in the comments—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!
