Rampage’s son beats a wrestler into a coma! At in indie wrestling event!

Raja was the mark who took it seriously, no sold the shot and then got all worked up about it.
This is literally the entire issue.
Stu sees an athletic lookin dude with cameras on him comin towards the back there, runs a promo thinking the guy is a wrestler. "Why aren't you selling it?"

Raja's dumb ass being a fuckin mark and taking it as real disrespect, being a bitch by accepting the guy's profuse apologies and shaking his hand, then attempting to murder the man by punching him in the head 22 times while he is unconscious after being gassed up and trolled by literal twelve year olds is beyond unconscionable.
 
Grew up in the the digital age. I agreee by our standards, he should -- but all these Gen Zers know is how to post their every waking moment online.
Yeah crazy he knew he was being filmed live for his own channel and still carried out that assault.
 
What Stu initially did made perfect sense (pro wrestling-wise), it’s Raja that was a mark. Stu saw cameras, assumed they were working, cut a sort of promo (“it’s Syko Stu you have to watch out for!”) and kayfabe bashed a can over his head.
Raja should’ve sold it, and then voila, now there’s a storyline reason for Raja to interfere in Stu’s match, and get his kayfabe revenge.

I know Raja claims it was the can thing, but the catalyst came afterwards. Raja did not react the way Stu expected and Stu did not react back the way Raja expected. Double confusion.

So basically Raja sees a reaction to something else, not the can act, he is seeing the reaction to his own real reaction. One confusion triggered another.

that is my reading of it. It was possibly bad chemistry from the start but it wasn't decided there.

Fair point, but in the end it still comes to down to Raja being a mark and that indie promotion not being organized for shit. If Raja was somewhat smart to the business, he wouldn’t have gotten all worked up by the streamer dorks chiming in. He’d have recognized it as an angle.
 
Words spoken aloud hold power...


He thought he was a worker since Raja was in their indie-meth version of a locker room which was the back corner of the parking lot, even asking him "Why aren't you selling it", then profusely apologized 3 times after it was revealed he wasn't a worker.

I mean, you have sort of a point, but come on.
IF ya don't wanna say "your probably wondering how I got into this situation..."

Don't be hitting people you don't know. Find out!
 
I hope Raja goes to jail for this. It's ridiculous that some have the nerve to defend this.

The guy is a 25yo adult man.

I don't think Raja is playing with 52 cards.
 
According to reddit...He apparently did a trick where he smashed it in his own hand. basically a magic number, and holding rajas head was part of that act and how it's accomplished.

Used to do that trick all the when we were kids lol.

It didn't look like Stu actually did it right. His hand was on the other side that he hit. He was definitely doing the whole lift the leg theatrically thing that wrestlers do when they fake punch though.

Do you think there's a possibility they agreed to real ground and pound hits under the assumption that Stu wasn't knocked out by the slam? I have no idea how they planned it to end though.

There have been pro wrestling events with real hits before so it wouldn't be a sensation but whats the endgame...

Is this a serious question? 20 plus unanswered shots?
 
I knew Dat was commin ?!



Something that confuses me about this scene
(Hopefully someone can explaina and clear it up)

Eugene is a made guy, he was initiated with Chris-to-fuh

Little Paulie is Paulie Walnuts' son and he is also a made guy.


Why was is allowed/ok for Eugene to viciously attack him by smashing a glass bottle in his face?
&
Why was it allowed for Little Paulie to be thrown out of the 2nd story window?

Is this just a plot hole?
Or within the show, the Sopranos universe, etc, is there some actual legitimate explanation and reasoning to make these things somehow make sense?
