Every so often, Mr. Beast has to do something that humanizes him again, so those dead eyes of his don’t turn us all off him completely. The megamillionaire celebrity YouTuber has stepped up to donate money to wrestler Syko Stu’s hospital bills.

What happened: The incident that put Syko Stu in the hospital was a brutal one.
- During a fight with a wrestler known as Raja during a livestreamed KnokX pro event, he was slammed to the ground. Raja then proceeded to punch Syko Stu’s face over 22 times, knocking him unconscious and severely wounding the man.
- He was rushed to the hospital, where it was found that he had broken teeth and damaged bones in his face. Since the violent altercation, Syko Stu’s family has mentioned that he is in stable but critical condition. The police are also investigating the incident, which goes way beyond the pale for a typical wrestling match.
Internet celebrity Mr. Beast has stepped up to help fund Syko Stu’s recovery using his infinite wealth.
Mr. Beast In Syko Stu’s Corner
Why Mr. Beast stepped in: It may seem odd for someone like Mr. Beast to take an interest in a two-bit wrestling show, and it is. But he has given some reasoning for it. Syko Stu’s a veteran, using wrestling to get over his savage PTSD. His story struck a chord with the internet celebrity.
Mr. Beast donated $10,000 to help the injured wrestler. It’s a godsend for Syko Stu’s family. The wrestler will have a long way to go to recover.
What Mr. Beast said on the matter:
- “Dang man, this hurts to see. Especially because I read he was a veteran who used wrestling as an outlet to get over ptsd. Genuinely, if anyone connected to him knows of a way I can help, please reach out. If his kid is a fan, or I can help with hospital bills, idk but I’ll help,” Mr. Beast tweeted.
Whether Mr. Beast had ever watched Syko Stu’s events before or not is unclear. Either way, his efforts to aid an American Hero won’t go unnoticed. Maybe he could pay for the trauma therapy the man clearly needed, too.
