WWE has apparently severed ties with the KnokX Pro promotion and academy after the Raja Jackson incident.

      That’s gotta be like attempted murder or something, like yeah it’s wrestling, but wrestling is a consensual act in the ring, that was just a fragile child whose feelings got hurt so he beat the fuck out of a dude.

        The guy flatlined and raja showed no signs of stopping until he was pulled off, he was going to kill him. And the stream he was on before showed it was all intentional, attempted murder seems to be an easy charge

          For clarity (not that it helps in any way) ‘flatline’ in this context being MMA lingo (since he and his idiot posse are MMA fuckers) for ‘he got knocked the fuck out cold and isn’t waking up’, not ‘his heart has ceased beating’ (cause I saw some people making that implication elsewhere lol)

          But yeah the guy is a fucking knob, recording every goddamned second of the whole thing from original incident, to planning and execution, prosecutor’s smiling right now.
