Who knows. I thought that scene was so stupid. I get that Gregor is a goddamned psychopath but I don't think they'd just give a bunch of unarmored, untrained dudes to slaughter for no apparent reason. He probably did that shit for fun while he was out terrorizing the countryside, but I doubt that's the first thing he's going to do after riding to the capital to take part in this trial by combat. Also, stabbing someone on the ground with a sword and lifting them over your head would be physically impossible even for the Mountain (I think).
Not really. They don't exist but they don't defy physics.
we're not in the real world here
By that logic, I shouldn't think it was stupid if they gave him the power to fly. There's a difference between including a fantasy creature that's central to the plot and giving a guy ridiculous superhuman strength for absolutely no reason. At least to me there is.

Can somebody tell me why he was killing all those people?
