‘Rampage’ Jackson announces watch party as his son goes to jail after Syko Stu beatdown
Following the incident involving his son and Syko Stu, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson faced a lot of backlash for not addressing how serious his son’s actions were. Well, to address the backlash, the 47-year-old even made an appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA show, claiming that he’s as mad at his son as the rest of the people are, especially the ones from the professional wrestling community. However, Raja’s issues do not seem to be a big deal for ‘Rampage’ as he announced that there will be a watch party for his new promotion, Rampage Combat, on Kick via his Instagram Stories.
Despite his son being in a tough predicament, ‘Rampage’ Jackson does not look like he’s going to slow down on his live stream work. He’s one of the most watched streamers currently, after all, so he may not want to lose that source of income. Despite that, it won’t come as a surprise if people find it weird that Jackson is promoting a show when he’s son is facing legal trouble.
