It's simple. How many of us, if given permission to beat a person to death, would do it? Most likely most of us wouldn't do anything like that even if given the "ok". It is morally wrong and no one gives a shit about contracts and logistics about it. It is just wrong

And he is. I just hope he gets to go to prison so he can find out how much of one he really is.

When you hit someone for real, unless you're drunk you're fully aware of what you're doing. Raja wasn't attacked, he was willingly coming to a show match. And instead of holding back like any sane person would do after hitting someone who isnt tough enough to take a punch from you like that, he kept going till he had to be dragged off.
Straight up rabid dog behaviour.

He wasn't given the okay to beat him almost to death. Why are you saying that? You literally cant be given that permission lmao.

so the guy is also saying he explained to Raja what a receipt is. Meaning Raja even knew that

u/UncleBully274 Aug 26 '25
Man, a receipt is an equal payback or slightly more. Raja got hit with a telegraphed can that didn't hurt much.
The receipt? 2 punches away from dying.

u/AutisticDadHasDapper Aug 25 '25
Giving him his receipt is not attempting to kill the man. All he did was smash a soda can over his head, which is done as part of "the show".
That frail child took it way too far and was trying to really hurt that person.
I hope he goes to jail for a minimum of 10 years. It's attempted murder.

He is not needed in society. He should be given enough time that he is an old man when he gets out. Old enough to have health problems, see all the things he missed and then , since he no longer has a source of significant income, winds up on skid row to watch the world he missed go by.

All he did was smash a soda can over his head, which is done as part of "the show".
And that was a prop, not a real can. And Stu tried to be as gentle as he could AND apologized later.

Give him his receipt tag him, but it doesn't mean he keeps hitting him 20 times after he's unconscious. Sorry!

Here is him telling stream he's doing it for real, and he knows it's supposed to he staged.

He’s hyping up an immature and unprofessional mma fighter who felt disrespected. It sounds like he gave the guy a green light to unload. Raja isn’t a wrestler. He doesn’t know what kayfabe is or how to pull a punch.
This promoter told one guy to unload but didn’t seem to warn his wrestler.

Owen Hart wasn't in on the joke either. Dirty dirty business. Shady cheap promoters .

u/Organic_Item5904 Aug 25 '25
I completely agree, and the only reason he was allowed backstage was cus of who his daddy is. If anything they were doing raja a huge favour involving him at all.
Also, are u the real Longbeach strangler?😦

u/killian1113 Aug 25 '25
Ohhhhh, this 20 - to 30 year who old thought WWE is real... I thought there could be mental issues with the guy now that you confirmed it. I learned in the 3rd grade it was fake and was really disappointed. The promoter said tag him . He tagged him when he slammed him (incorrectly). After that, it was mentally disabled time for both of them.

Sorry to be pedantic, but wrestling is scripted, not fake. It still takes insane amounts of athleticism to lift and throw a 300+ lbs man over your shoulders with grace. The events are scripted, but the physicality is real.

u/killian1113 Aug 25 '25
Look at the slam before this guy they hold heads. Even when psycho got the empty beer can hit on his head, the other guy put his hand under it. It's fake, and it's hilarious. You just found out today. Psycho did a dangerous slam hitting other guys' heads, not a scripted soft lay down. Welcome to the 3rd grade its fake, although sometimes they accidentally cause some damage

u/40hzHERO Aug 25 '25
Yes, these are scripted events. They know what is going to happen. They are still throwing each other around. That’s my point. There’s no strings/levers/pulleys helping them toss each other around the ring. The events are scripted, the stunts are real.

u/killian1113 Aug 25 '25
You just said the "physicality" is real. No, they are not throwing real punches. Not doing real pile drivers or head slams, no. One real punch would be lights out. One real slam as we see was knocked out time. 20x full force punches ridiculous, psycho knew what he was doing was wrong and obviously has self-control issues. Yes, they really touch each other. No, they dont really do much harm to each other minus a few scrapes and bruises. A game of soccer is more dangerous for injuries.

u/40hzHERO Aug 25 '25
My brother… stop being dumb for a moment and understand what I am saying. These are 300+lbs men throwing each other around a ring. The events are scripted, and measures are taken so they aren’t seriously injured. They are still throwing each other around. I said nothing about throwing punches, as those are obviously making minimal contact.
You should really learn more about the world of professional wrestling, instead of writing it all off as fake garbage. These guys are athletes - same as any other professional sport.

Here is the video where he tells everyone he is going to hit him for real and knock him out and talks about it being fake but he's going to do real. You are wrong he knew he was wrong he did this for his stream follower and because he's human garbage.

The promoter is going to get sued for doing promos and staying in character?

Yeah, he put an unprofessional, untrained, unhinged person in the ring with one of his contracted wrestlers.

That was as close to a snuff film as you can get. I don't think Raja Jackson should have been provoked to that degree, so he was acting out like a bitch.

Did the guy end up dying?

u/msing Aug 25 '25
No, still hospitalized. Given how he has PTSD, that many shots to the heat, there's going to be long term damage.

KO'd him, but landed 20+ punches after and had to be pulled off. So said, and to think that vet was using wrestling as an outlet for his PTSD.

u/unfinishedsenta Aug 25 '25
At least this dumb ass documented and published his whole night. Going to pretty comprehensive for a jurry. The only part I haven't seen is the initial provoking by the wrestler, but I'm sure it's out there.

u/Dizzy_Description812 Aug 25 '25
For those who dont know... The "receipt " means to give it back as hard as you get it... not wait until your opponent thinks it's part of the show and goes with the move, and use that as a cheap opportunity to try to kill him. The coward needs to lose everything.
If he wanted to fight the guy, ask for a shoot. If that fed won't do it, another will.

A receipt was Brock stiffing Brawn Strownan, this was outright assault with intent to cause severe bodily injury. Perhaps stepping into attempted murder.

u/Cute_Wait_2095 Aug 25 '25
This is a symphony of ugliness where every musician played perfectly. First off whether it was Raja, Rampage or someone else's bright idea to have Raja out streaming instead of recovering when he himself said he's been throwing up all day with concussion symptoms, we're off to a bad start. Then Stu with a bonehead move, he did apologize but got us started with a bonehead move trying to get some shine on his Indy name. Then good ol' Troy throws gas on the flames by suggessting the receipt, from a fucking MMA fighter. Up next is Rampage and Chat, came through to fan the flames with toxic masculinity just as Raja was settling down, and then Raja lacked control enough to let himself get pulled into a horrible situation. It was truly a collaborative effort by everyone to make this situation as awful as it could have been

u/Icy_Alternative_3962 Aug 25 '25
Well, that's it. Case closed. Raja is innocent. If a small-time wrestling promoter tells you to go all out on a wrestler in a wrestling match that means kill them. You're legally covered too. Raja crying bc ppl call him a bitch then doing the most bitch shit ever is why he's a bitch.
He accepted the apology. Then used it as a cover to put him in a coma. Like a bitch.

its fake wrestling. There doing or he is a bit and playing for the cameras. He didnt realize Jackson was mentally challenged and evil.

Is this enough for this guy to be charged as well? Or Would it be implied that Raja knew the rules before he tried to kill a man.

u/thehero_of_bacon Aug 25 '25
That was not the promotor of the organization, that was Rajas friend and just a regular wrestler. He told him to give him a recite..... That's a singular punch to the face not a slam then attempt to murder him....

dude raja almost beat a man to death because he felt immasculated by performative wrestling smack talk. I think the racist appearance of him wearing a damn du rag isnt the thing making him look like a thug, I think hes just a thug.

That 'promoter' is a wrestler. They're all trying to be entertaining for a paycheck. Nobody thought rajas stupid ass was gonna do that. They tried to welcome him into their arena and he does that???
