No way the faggot didn't understand what was happening. I'm more alarmed at how slow everyone else was to understand the situation.
He's probably not dead, but he's gonna have a concussion.
The ref was not used to jig violence. He was completely beside himself with disbelief.
Wrestling refs are not real refs in the same way the wrestlers are not real combatants. You can't expect much more intervention from a wrestling ref than you would a lady walking her dog. This, once again, is simply a problem of a feral animal allowed into a high trust setting.
Most pro wrestling refs have at least some stuntman training since they're performing in a live stunt show, so they should at least try to intervene if someone goes off script and chimps out.
Performing in a live stunt show is going to do nothing but condition you into thinking that all the apparent violence around you is planned and coordinated. It might be planned poorly or feature clumsily executed moves which become dangerous, but there is no reason whatsoever to think one wrestler is going to ground and pound another unmoving wrestler to death. It's literally never happened before in any pro wrestling bout ever. Should that happen to be suddenly what transpires in front of a ref, all his conditioning is going to predispose him to thinking that's not what he's actually seeing.
That's what makes this so cowardly. In any other context, Raja could not have had a free ticket to pick up this guy, slam him down and wail on him as with as little outside intervention as there was, probably not even in a crowded street of strangers, plus the white guy would have defended himself in that context and possibly known not to relax in the first place. It's not about the ref. The more people cry 'refs?!' the more loudly I will shout 'NIGGERS'.
