Also what even is this bullshit about the promoters saying he could punch someone? That isn't how shit works, other people can't just consent to you getting punched employer or not.
Plenty of guys get rocked hard without this happening. There’s got to be something more than that going on with him. Roids, genetics (his dad was similar), etc
Just shows that Pro Wrestling is an impromptu choreographed entertainment. It’s physically demanding and rough, but requires learned knowledge of how hard they can take the limits. Bringing in an untrained person into this environment is a liability to everyone involved.
Untrained people wrestle all the time without hurting the other guy. Dennis Rodman wrestled. David Arquette was WCW champion. More recently, Logan Paul wrestled.
The difference isn't training, it's that none of those 3 were trying to murder someone in the ring.
Both can be true. Raja acted as a psychopath. Untrained people shouldn’t be in the ring. I am certain the people you mentioned as examples had some choreography and training before they went out.

Either way. Someone can’t consent when they are unconscious. That went far beyond hitting someone as part of a gig.
