Brief Bio: Raijin is the eldest son of Zell Hunter and Trynyty Wang, and is a member of the Hunter family of professional wrestlers. Originally debuting as one half of the “Metal Militia” tag team in Pro Wrestling Nova where he made his debut in the massive “Black Waltz” tag team battle royal match where the Militia entered at number 11 and lasted almost the entire match before they were suddenly and brutally eliminated.
Rai continued as a member of the team for the next year before his partner was injured and Raijin soon started his solo run, but he is known to team with his friend Trafalgar Law in the Extreme Wrestling Corporation as the latest incarnation of the Mechanical Animals.
Pro Debut: Pro Wrestling Nova's Chapter 3 "50 Shades of Pain" (3/14/2020)
Picture Base: Sho Tanaka (NJPW/Chaos/Bullet Club)
Gimmick:
A rookie monster that has yet to find his own “identity” separate from that of his more famous (and in the case of his father, infamous) parentage as a second generation wrestler. He has all of the talent and drive to make his own dreams manifest, but sometimes he follows a more
Ingobernable (if you will) path than anything as he fights to stay Tranquilo, despite the heritage that he fights to represent to some extent.
Raijin takes the sport of professional wrestling seriously and it shows in each and every single one of his matches, but other than that he simply enjoys life.
Wrestling Information
Past Injuries: None
Wrestling Style: Raijin was trained at the Slayton Wrestling Academy in his hometown of Riverside California in "Jade Court Puroresu" which has a very technical base wrestling style which he incorporates elements of his martial arts training (Brazilian jiu-jitsu & Kyokushin karate) to round out what he can do in the ring fully.
The Jade Court school of wrestling is the complete opposite of Stephanie Matsuda's "Queen's Road" Lucharesu school of professional wrestling in that while the Jade Court uses the Japanese Strong Style approach, it focuses mainly on the technical and catch wrestling styles of its forefathers in people such as Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson with a heavy emphasis on fighting spirit and breaking the limits that one usually sets for themselves. Raijin’s martial arts training helps to add that extra bit of raw power to his strikes in the ring as well.

Strengths:
1. High pain threshold: Raijin has inherited his father and uncles' infamous ability to handle pain and he enjoys this "gift" by being able to fight through most submissions that he's been put through over the past couple of years, and while it doesn't work 100% of the time-it's always fun to watch the reactions when it does.
2. Quick Learner: Raijin is a quick thinker and can usually come up with a very effective match plan on the fly when the need arises.
3. Stronger than he looks: Despite his build, Rai is deceptively strong as he works hard to maintain his build and as such, he is surprisingly strong for a man of his height and weight, and as such can pull off impressive power moves when the need arises.
4. Crazy just like dad: Raijin is like his father in that he feels the need to almost constantly prove himself in matches and as such, he will throw himself wholeheartedly into anything that he's booked for. Ever see a 255 pound suicida??
5. Slightly Sadistic: Much like his parents before him, Rai has a rather nasty sadistic streak in him that shows up during matches, the harder the fight, the more this streak comes out in him.
Weaknesses:
1. Still a rookie: Despite debuting in 2020, Rai is still in the early stages of his career and it shows as he is still trying to develop his "persona" as it were.
2. Quick Temper: While not as quick as say his father was once, Rai is known to loose his cool if something happens during a match that doesn't go down just right.
3. Second Generation Wrestler: 'nuff said.
4. Infamous family connection: Rai is a member of the Hunter family of professional wrestlers which includes his parents (Zell Hunter & Trynyty Wang-Hunter), one of his uncles (the "Punisher" Matt Hunter), and his cousins (Zach & DJ Hunter). While known for being multi-time champions each in their own right, they also have a reputation for being ruthless bastards as well.
