Santa Clara Valley Medical Centre. San Jose, California. Thursday 16th January.
Straight after Stefan's match against Justin Blade, he collapsed right in the middle of the floor backstage which Jake had to call for an ambulance to take Stefan straight to the hospital to get some insulin injected in him and now Stefan's laying in an hospital bed being fast asleep while Jake was sitting next to him, wondering what Stefan's going to be like when he wakes up from being passed out from not taking his injections. Five hours later, Stefan woke up and looks around as to wonder where he was as he sees Jake next to him as he begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “Where am I?”
Jake Raab: “Hospital”
Stefan Raab: “What happened to me?”
It's official that Stefan couldn't remember anything that had happened a few hours ago after he wrestled against Justin Blade and he could barely move because he was quite weak although he felt much better than he was when he came in the hospital and Jake explains how and why Stefan was in hospital
Jake Raab: “You collapsed on the floor backstage due to not taking you're insulin after your match against Justin Blade due to Telmini breaking the liquid you had.”
Stefan Raab: “Telmini? I don't remember him at all. Tell me more Jake.”
Jake Raab: “Telmini's the guy that made you be in hospital Stefan and he said some really nasty things about you and your wife as well like how you aren't a talented wrestler and how your wife is only good for cleaning your mess up.”
Stefan then sat up on the bed and grabs Jake by his shirt with pure anger in his eyes, having his fist closed like he wanted to hurt someone as he begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “My wife is what? I'm going to destroy that son of a bitch if I go out of my ways to find him.”
Jake Raab: “Not only that, but he blew his nose on the German flag. He's really crossed the line with you Stefan and it means you have to do someth...........................
Stefan Raab: “Oh I will Jake and that punk has another thing coming if he even thinks to involve my wife and my family ever again along with offending my country with him blowing his nose on the flag. I'm gonna find him and challenge him to a match at Shine iPPV event.”
Jake Raab: “Wow, you really are angry hey?
Stefan Raab: “Wouldn't you be if someone offended your girlfriend?”
Jake Raab: “Of course I would, but at the same time if I had diabetes and laid in bed like you, I would rest until the next TNT show comes around so let go off my shirt and rest.”
Stefan still held Jake by his shirt and puts him down since he lost grip of Jake and he wondered what was going to happen now since he fears of not being booked on the next TNT show because of his hospital stay and he begins to ask Jake another question.
Stefan Raab: “Did I win against Justin Blade?”
Jake Raab: “You did Stefan and you really dominated the whole match like you gave no breathing space for Justin at all. You gave him no chance to use any moves on you because you was really angry in the ring and you used The Killercutter to pin Justin for the three count to win the match until Telmini interrupted your victory and then done and said those things I've just told you.”
Stefan got shocked as to think Jake must be joking for Stefan to dominate throughout the whole match and with his confused mind, he shook his head and said this.
Stefan Raab: “Don't be silly. As if I'd ever dominate a wrestling match all the way through.”
Jake Raab: “Believe me Stef you did and that's why I'm proud of what you've done in the ring tonight because the fans loved you for your performance in the ring and even Zharya was impressed with you as well as she spoke to me while we was waiting for an ambulance to come and she said you've improved a lot as a wrestler and how she's proud on having you on her TNT brand and most of all, proud on how you represent WEW company.”
Stefan Raab: “Wow, I didn't know that.”
Jake Raab: “That's because you passed out Stefan, that's why you didn't know and she wants to put you in a match against a tough wrestler next TNT show because she feels you deserve to face a wrestler that's competition for you to face in the ring.”
Stefan Raab: “Only if I could cope with having diabetes, I wouldn't be afraid of wrestling but if you're telling me the truth of me dominating Justin Blade then I guess I'm not afraid of wrestling with diabetes any more.”
Jake Raab: “You need to watch the video of your match and see for yourself if I'm lying or not. You need to be in hospital until Sunday night so you need to get as much rest as you can until then.”
Stefan then did what Jake said as he was feeling a little dizzy anyway after not really drinking anything since before his match with Justin as he then closed his eyes to get rid of the dizziness he had and then woke up half an hour later to drink some water that was left on the side and then went to sleep again for the night as Jake stayed at the hospital with Stefan until Sunday when he was allowed out to fly to Germany for the next two weeks on promoting APW's Survive and Conquer PPV event.
Training and gym work. San Jose, California. Tuesday 28th February.
Ever since he came back from Munich, Germany yesterday. All Stefan has been doing since this morning is doing lots of training and gym work because he'd been away from America for two weeks due to promoting the Survive and Conquer PPV for his former boss and some of it was for World Elite Wrestling as well as he'd met a lot of his home town fans while he was there, but now Stefan had to get back into action as he'd met someone that was going to do some training with him, someone he hadn't really met before, but wanted to get plenty of work done since he knows that Jake wasn't always going to be with him every single training and gym session Stefan has to do.
He was training with a guy that the TNT trainers selected for Stefan known as Trevor Williams. They were doing a lot of fast moves which was something Stefan needed a lot of work on with his stamina since he gets very tired easily during his matches. They moved around in the ring a lot and Stefan used his power to take Trevor down with a spear, imagining it's Telmini he was facing in the ring and Stefan then used The Killercutter on Trevor and then he pinned him for the three count as Stefan then got out of the ring and got on the treadmill to improve more on his stamina and Trevor says this to Stefan.
Trevor Williams: “Good god, I've never seen anybody that wants to push themselves to the limits on improving on their weakness everyday just as much as you Stefan.”
Stefan couldn't really talk as he's focusing on improving on his stamina even with his diabetes being a major issue for him, he just wouldn't stop because he knows if he doesn't do training at all, he would suffer from an injury and that wasn't in Stefan's plans to get injured. He ran on the treadmill for two hours until Trevor remembered about Zharya saying that Stefan's training is only limited to seven hours a day as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “Time.”
Stefan's still trying to get used to the fact that he couldn't push himself as hard as he could as he was frustrated all the time about being told to stop training, especially he hadn't done any training at all for his upcoming match with Mikal Jordan and he didn't even know about his match until yesterday when Jake told him on twitter because Stefan has been too busy to even ask about it. Stefan then went to the changing rooms to check his blood glucose levels and they were quite low so he had to get something to eat straight away as he got himself a bar of chocolate to eat to maintain his blood sugar levels at a normal rate as well as getting a bottle of water as well to drink. Stefan and Trevor sat in the ring and suddenly, Stefan cries in the ring as Trevor begins to speak as he also takes a sip from his water.
Trevor Williams: “What's wrong?”
Stefan Raab: “I hate being limited to do training and gym work Trevor because of my diabetes. I just hate myself and I feel weak by that.”
Trevor Williams: “I've noticed when you wrestled against me, you just don't feel as confident as you was in the past because you're scared aren't you of passing out in a middle of the match?”
Stefan Raab: “Every time I step in a wrestling ring yes Trevor.”
Trevor Williams: “You don't need to be scared because it's highly unlikely that it won't ever happen during your matches. You really need to have more confidence in yourself and Jakes told me personally that you've been trying to c..............................."
Stefan Raab: “I don't try to commit suicide any more because I've changed, but I'm still finding it hard to cope with the problem and I feel it's affecting me big time, not to mention that Telmini pissed me off as well by offending my country and most importantly my family as well.”
Trevor Williams: “He's jealous of you Stefan because you are known more than he is. You need to focus on your opponent for this week Mikal Jordan.”
Stefan Raab: “I kind of feel really bad about being quite nasty about him in my last promo, but it's because I was pissed off with Justin Blade with him calling the guy a nobody when he's the number one contender for the TNT Heavyweight title. I begin to feel that people are right that I'm a loser and a nobody in the wrestling business.”
Trevor didn't know what to do as Stefan was mentally really depressed with himself, crying his eyes out because of the lack of faith he has in himself as Trevor puts his arm around Stefan's shoulders and begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “I know he's been undefeated in his matches, but there's one thing you both do have in common and that's the fact you both have a win over Justin Blade and speaking of that win. Did you get a chance to watch your match with Justin?”
Stefan Raab: “No I haven't because I've only just came back from Germany yesterday after being there for two weeks to promote the APW Survive and Conquer event.”
Trevor Williams: “That's fine because luckily for you, I have the DVD in my bag. Let me get it out and we'll watch it on the TV over there.”
While Trevor gets the DVD from his bag in the changing rooms, Stefan gets up from the ring and goes towards where the TV was as he drinks his bottle of water and throws it in the bin as he gets a chair and sits in front of the TV as he stopped crying as Trevor puts the DVD in the player and presses play as he sits next to Stefan to watch Stefan's last match on TNT against Justin Blade. Trevor and Stefan watched the match with Stefan completely dominating the match all the way through and Stefan used Killercutter to win the match as Trevor takes the DVD out of the player and puts the DVD back in the box as Trevor begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “Now do you believe in Jake when he said you dominated the match against Justin?”
It certainly gave Stefan a lot of confidence after watching the DVD, realizing that he can focus on matches if he puts his mind to it as he actually smiled because of the dominant performance he watched of himself beating Justin for the win as he begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “After watching that match, you bet I am and I'm more confident than ever on wrestling against Mikal Jordan. I know he beat Justin Blade to be a contender for the TNT title, but people are saying that I was the best runner up in the tournament because I gave Travis everything I got, but he was better than me in the ring and deserved the TNT title shot more than I did.”
Trevor Williams: “You tried your best and that's what people are going to remember, but you got a huge task on your hands by going up against the undefeated Mikal Jordan and I think you can push him to his limits and to face a real wrestler like yourself on Thursday night. Forget about Telmini and focus on Mikal, Stefan because otherwise it will cost you the match. I want to see you be angry and use every move you can to beat Mikal because you've proven yourself that you become a better wrestler when you're angry.”
Stefan Raab: “You're right that I should forget about Telmini and focus on Mikal this week along with being angry. I think I better get home as I've only spent a few hours with my wife and my sons since I've been back from Germany.”
Trevor Williams: “I understand and give me a call if you need somebody to train with and talk to as well when Jakes not around alright?”
Stefan Raab: “Yeah I will. Bye Trevor.”
Stefan then went back into the changing rooms to inject insulin into his stomach before he gets changed into his normal clothes and gets straight into his car to go home to spend time with his wife and sons all day until it was night time while they'd made love together before Stefan goes off to sleep to do an activity on talking about his match against Mikal Jordan the next day.
San Jose Earthquakes reserves training day. San Jose, California. Wednesday 29th January.
Stefan really wanted to improve on his stamina a lot because he knows that's his main weakness on preventing him from graduating from TNT brand to where ever Tom Sykes will end up depending on the draft coming up. He thought what a better way to improve his stamina while not being in the TNT facility than to play soccer which has always been Stefan's favourite sport. Of course he had to take his insulin injection first before going out to do any sport due to being a diabetic. Stefan's wearing a San Jose Earthquakes soccer shirt and shorts and wearing thick socks and soccer boots. He also wore a World Elite Wrestling badge and sweat bands on his wrist to show his loyalty to the company he represents everywhere he goes.
He walked out of the changing rooms to go on the soccer pitch to do a training session with the rest of the soccer players as he was told he was going to be a midfielder because they do a lot of running drills that for Stefan would suit him much better than any other position in soccer. The coach told the guys to warm themselves up and Stefan starts to talk about his match with Mikal Jordan.
Stefan Raab: “So a few weeks ago, I defeated Justin Blade by my dominant performance I put for the fans and I've only just got back from America on Monday night because these last two weeks, I've been in Germany doing nothing but promoting the Survive and Conquer event and meeting lots of fans and doing a lot of promotional stuff with filming movies and being in press conferences along with wrestling for World Elite Wrestling in the rumble and sure I didn't win for the company, but I performed the best out of the World Elite Wrestling team when I eliminated Luna from the match.
The feeling I got was amazing from the fans cheering me because of being the only German wrestler in the match and I feel I've let them down with my performance, but that's the past and I need to move on from the rumble and the Justin Blade match to talk about my opponent for my TNT match this week, Mikal Jordan.”
Stefan and the rest of the soccer players stopped warming up and they started to run around the pitch which is good for Stefan to work on his stamina like he needed to as he continues to speak.
Stefan Raab: “There's a lot of good things about this guy that I can talk about that he's kind of new to the wrestling business, but has shown as a rookie that he can wrestle by defeating two wrestlers in his WEW career and that already shows he has a lot of talent by that from winning over Forrest Taunzu on Anarchy and then continuing that winning streak on TNT on defeating Justin Blade to go going through the tournament for the TNT title on the Shine iPPV event to face against Travis Harris and Adam Dunn who are very talented wrestlers and claiming that they want to win the TNT title badly.
I think you are an amazing wrestler that has a lot of skill and talent to be in this wrestling business and you've been around wrestling ever since you was eighteen years old and I can respect that because most wrestlers if they had family problems would usually do drugs or drink alcohol that would send them to prison. Very wise to focus on your wrestling career rather than to join in gangs to beat people up and do drugs at the same time. You had to fork out a lot of money to get to where you are today and it's really paying off dude and I admire that a lot that you have a lot of heart and desire to be in the business.
The one thing you have over me in terms of skills in the ring is the thing I'm working on right at this moment is stamina hence why Travis beat me because he had great stamina and landing all of his high flying moves on me and having good stamina is extremely important when it comes to wrestling in the ring. I see you as a threat on you defeating me due to that and the wins you've had over two people counts a lot in wrestling.”
Stefan took a minute to take a breather as he had to wear a red bib to show that he was apart of the red team to play soccer going up against the blue team as he gets into position and waits for the referee to blow his whistle as he plays soccer along with continuing to speak about the match.
Stefan Raab: “The problem is you feel that you're scared of speaking up in front of lots of people, but to be honest from the interviews backstage, you seem to speak pretty good but I guess it's the confidence is the problem you have just like me when I wrestle as well more when I was diagnosed with diabetes, but I gained confidence by defeating Justin Blade in a match which you seemed to struggle to get him down, but that's only because you are quite new to professional wrestling just like me when it comes to World Elite Wrestling actually. You think I'm not a rookie, but I've only been wrestling for about a year and a half so from that I have a tiny bit more experience than you but only just.
Although your match being cancelled wasn't your fault because of Telmini not really wanting to wrestle because he knows you would get beat his ass, but you have no fear and you still managed to show up and mention something about the upcoming title match you have coming up, but I feel since your win with Justin Blade, you could have done more to get yourself in a match because not many people have seen you wrestle as of late and it's the reason why you get overlooked because until you get back in the ring with me, people will continue to not see you as a threat. I do however because of the winning streak you have since you've been in WEW, but other people don't.
The thing is that although you got beaten up a lot by your parents due to their alcohol addiction, You've could've done more as well with your past life to get help from child line and place you in a care home when you was younger and you could've advised them to go to rehab to stop drinking alcohol when you was eighteen years old. I will be honest and admit that I was addicted to alcohol when I was starting out in WEW before the TNT brand was even around and I drank thirty cans of beer everyday before my match with Angelica. I done a lot of sickening things that I wished I've never done like burning the American flag, destroying graves and most of all insult the wrestling business while I was drunk.
After my match with Trisha Monroe, Jake and my wife put me into rehab due to my alcohol dependency and I had to do 6 months worth of rehab, but it was worth it cos now it was the best thing they've ever done for me and I don't even touch alcohol anymore because I want to live my life and achieve my goals of succeeding as a wrestler. The reason why I told you this story is because if you advise your parents to go to rehab and support them with it, they will thank you for it like I do on them saving my life.”
It's the first time that Stefan actually told a story about being in rehab and how he'd had to overcome his addictions of drinking alcohol which benefited Stefan a lot and he wanted to help Mikal to try to admit his parents into rehab. He was chasing after players a lot really working on his stamina and he tackled a player and then ran with the ball and tries to kick the ball into the net, but it bounced off the post.
Stefan Raab: “God damn it.”
Stefan was also having fun as well playing soccer as he'd played the sport before, but never with a professional team knowing he's mainly doing soccer for improving on his stamina, but no harm on having fun right? He then continued to speak more about the match while running around trying to get the ball to give to the players on his team.
Stefan Raab: I was going off topic there which is completely irrelevant to the match we are having tomorrow night, but just so you know that you are going to be facing the toughest competition that you've ever had to face in your career to date. I really hope that you're focus is on me and not on the upcoming match against Adam Dunn and Travis Harris for the TNT title because it will cost you the match and even though Telmini has problems with me to sort out, I don't even care about him because this match is between me and you and my focus is all on you Mikal because that's what it takes to win wrestling matches in the company.
I don't want to be nasty to you about this because I already feel bad for saying that you haven't done much in WEW which you have more than me, but you don't seem to want the TNT title at all compared to Adam and Travis. Travis especially deserves the title shot more than anybody in the upcoming match because he and I are the only people that been with the TNT brand since the first show and that's something nobody else can say because everyone that was here for the first show are gone from the roster nowhere to be seen because me and Travis always pushed ourselves more than our limits at times in the gym while the rest of those TNT wrestlers struggled to keep up with both of us.
You mention a lot about being abused as a kid but to be honest that's the only information I've found out about you and it's like you got to tell people more than just your life history as a kid but then again I read how you tried to get yourself home schooled, getting back into studying again because you didn't want to be like the rest of the African American guys that couldn't be bothered to learn again which is another thing I'm impressed by is that you do want to learn how to wrestle and learn new things about whatever subjects you want to do and by all means you should go for it and you seem to be a very intelligent guy as well kind of like me in a way as well.”
Stefan suddenly had a chance to score a goal as he ran with the ball on the pitch and scored a goal.
Stefan Raab: “Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.”
Stefan had his eyes closed with his arms spread out wide as his team huddled around hi, celebrating with him as they put the ball in the middle of the pitch with Stefan's team winning two nil as his team mate scored the other goal while Stefan was talking as they continued to play the last half of the game as he continued to speak for the last time.
Stefan Raab: “I'm going to show and teach you everything that you need to succeed in the wrestling business because I respect you a lot and you deserve to face me in the ring regardless of what that punk said about you because I dominated the whole match to put it in nice terms since I refuse to say destroyed someone since it's not something I would say towards anybody in WEW.
Zharya said to Jake that I was going to be facing against somebody that's a tough competition for me due to her being impressed with my performance against Justin Blade. That's where you struggled to beat him, while he was easy pickings on my hand, but it was quite a cheap win to be honest that I got over Justin and I keep saying time and time again that I bleed, sweat and tear for this company everywhere I go because I love the fans in World Elite Wrestling and even the wrestlers themselves even if they hate me, but I almost got the respect back from the whole roster now and that means something to me.
I need to win this match to boost my confidence a lot more even though I've almost got rid of my fears of wrestling with my diabetes, but my fear is still there and all I need to do is win against you Mikal and due to the experience I have over you, I have more chance of winning this match than you do. I'm going out to the ring for these fans that deserve to see us perform and to tear the house down to make the fans be proud of us and giving you all the experience you need to get to the top. I will either make you tap out or pin you for the three count and all I got left to say is this. Prepare to be Raabinated by The Killerplauze.”
That was all Stefan had left to say otherwise he would repeat himself as he goes into his locker room to get changed into his normal clothes along with the coach saying to Stefan that he did a good job today on the pitch as he then got in his car to go back home to see his wife and his sons. Time will tell if Stefan will get another win on his WEW wrestling record tomorrow night as he spent a lot of time with them before he goes to sleep with his wife sleeping next to him.
Straight after Stefan's match against Justin Blade, he collapsed right in the middle of the floor backstage which Jake had to call for an ambulance to take Stefan straight to the hospital to get some insulin injected in him and now Stefan's laying in an hospital bed being fast asleep while Jake was sitting next to him, wondering what Stefan's going to be like when he wakes up from being passed out from not taking his injections. Five hours later, Stefan woke up and looks around as to wonder where he was as he sees Jake next to him as he begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “Where am I?”
Jake Raab: “Hospital”
Stefan Raab: “What happened to me?”
It's official that Stefan couldn't remember anything that had happened a few hours ago after he wrestled against Justin Blade and he could barely move because he was quite weak although he felt much better than he was when he came in the hospital and Jake explains how and why Stefan was in hospital
Jake Raab: “You collapsed on the floor backstage due to not taking you're insulin after your match against Justin Blade due to Telmini breaking the liquid you had.”
Stefan Raab: “Telmini? I don't remember him at all. Tell me more Jake.”
Jake Raab: “Telmini's the guy that made you be in hospital Stefan and he said some really nasty things about you and your wife as well like how you aren't a talented wrestler and how your wife is only good for cleaning your mess up.”
Stefan then sat up on the bed and grabs Jake by his shirt with pure anger in his eyes, having his fist closed like he wanted to hurt someone as he begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “My wife is what? I'm going to destroy that son of a bitch if I go out of my ways to find him.”
Jake Raab: “Not only that, but he blew his nose on the German flag. He's really crossed the line with you Stefan and it means you have to do someth...........................
Stefan Raab: “Oh I will Jake and that punk has another thing coming if he even thinks to involve my wife and my family ever again along with offending my country with him blowing his nose on the flag. I'm gonna find him and challenge him to a match at Shine iPPV event.”
Jake Raab: “Wow, you really are angry hey?
Stefan Raab: “Wouldn't you be if someone offended your girlfriend?”
Jake Raab: “Of course I would, but at the same time if I had diabetes and laid in bed like you, I would rest until the next TNT show comes around so let go off my shirt and rest.”
Stefan still held Jake by his shirt and puts him down since he lost grip of Jake and he wondered what was going to happen now since he fears of not being booked on the next TNT show because of his hospital stay and he begins to ask Jake another question.
Stefan Raab: “Did I win against Justin Blade?”
Jake Raab: “You did Stefan and you really dominated the whole match like you gave no breathing space for Justin at all. You gave him no chance to use any moves on you because you was really angry in the ring and you used The Killercutter to pin Justin for the three count to win the match until Telmini interrupted your victory and then done and said those things I've just told you.”
Stefan got shocked as to think Jake must be joking for Stefan to dominate throughout the whole match and with his confused mind, he shook his head and said this.

Stefan Raab: “Wow, I didn't know that.”
Jake Raab: “That's because you passed out Stefan, that's why you didn't know and she wants to put you in a match against a tough wrestler next TNT show because she feels you deserve to face a wrestler that's competition for you to face in the ring.”
Stefan Raab: “Only if I could cope with having diabetes, I wouldn't be afraid of wrestling but if you're telling me the truth of me dominating Justin Blade then I guess I'm not afraid of wrestling with diabetes any more.”
Jake Raab: “You need to watch the video of your match and see for yourself if I'm lying or not. You need to be in hospital until Sunday night so you need to get as much rest as you can until then.”
Stefan then did what Jake said as he was feeling a little dizzy anyway after not really drinking anything since before his match with Justin as he then closed his eyes to get rid of the dizziness he had and then woke up half an hour later to drink some water that was left on the side and then went to sleep again for the night as Jake stayed at the hospital with Stefan until Sunday when he was allowed out to fly to Germany for the next two weeks on promoting APW's Survive and Conquer PPV event.
Training and gym work. San Jose, California. Tuesday 28th February.
Ever since he came back from Munich, Germany yesterday. All Stefan has been doing since this morning is doing lots of training and gym work because he'd been away from America for two weeks due to promoting the Survive and Conquer PPV for his former boss and some of it was for World Elite Wrestling as well as he'd met a lot of his home town fans while he was there, but now Stefan had to get back into action as he'd met someone that was going to do some training with him, someone he hadn't really met before, but wanted to get plenty of work done since he knows that Jake wasn't always going to be with him every single training and gym session Stefan has to do.
He was training with a guy that the TNT trainers selected for Stefan known as Trevor Williams. They were doing a lot of fast moves which was something Stefan needed a lot of work on with his stamina since he gets very tired easily during his matches. They moved around in the ring a lot and Stefan used his power to take Trevor down with a spear, imagining it's Telmini he was facing in the ring and Stefan then used The Killercutter on Trevor and then he pinned him for the three count as Stefan then got out of the ring and got on the treadmill to improve more on his stamina and Trevor says this to Stefan.
Trevor Williams: “Good god, I've never seen anybody that wants to push themselves to the limits on improving on their weakness everyday just as much as you Stefan.”
Stefan couldn't really talk as he's focusing on improving on his stamina even with his diabetes being a major issue for him, he just wouldn't stop because he knows if he doesn't do training at all, he would suffer from an injury and that wasn't in Stefan's plans to get injured. He ran on the treadmill for two hours until Trevor remembered about Zharya saying that Stefan's training is only limited to seven hours a day as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “Time.”
Stefan's still trying to get used to the fact that he couldn't push himself as hard as he could as he was frustrated all the time about being told to stop training, especially he hadn't done any training at all for his upcoming match with Mikal Jordan and he didn't even know about his match until yesterday when Jake told him on twitter because Stefan has been too busy to even ask about it. Stefan then went to the changing rooms to check his blood glucose levels and they were quite low so he had to get something to eat straight away as he got himself a bar of chocolate to eat to maintain his blood sugar levels at a normal rate as well as getting a bottle of water as well to drink. Stefan and Trevor sat in the ring and suddenly, Stefan cries in the ring as Trevor begins to speak as he also takes a sip from his water.
Trevor Williams: “What's wrong?”
Stefan Raab: “I hate being limited to do training and gym work Trevor because of my diabetes. I just hate myself and I feel weak by that.”
Trevor Williams: “I've noticed when you wrestled against me, you just don't feel as confident as you was in the past because you're scared aren't you of passing out in a middle of the match?”
Stefan Raab: “Every time I step in a wrestling ring yes Trevor.”
Trevor Williams: “You don't need to be scared because it's highly unlikely that it won't ever happen during your matches. You really need to have more confidence in yourself and Jakes told me personally that you've been trying to c..............................."
Stefan Raab: “I don't try to commit suicide any more because I've changed, but I'm still finding it hard to cope with the problem and I feel it's affecting me big time, not to mention that Telmini pissed me off as well by offending my country and most importantly my family as well.”
Trevor Williams: “He's jealous of you Stefan because you are known more than he is. You need to focus on your opponent for this week Mikal Jordan.”
Stefan Raab: “I kind of feel really bad about being quite nasty about him in my last promo, but it's because I was pissed off with Justin Blade with him calling the guy a nobody when he's the number one contender for the TNT Heavyweight title. I begin to feel that people are right that I'm a loser and a nobody in the wrestling business.”
Trevor didn't know what to do as Stefan was mentally really depressed with himself, crying his eyes out because of the lack of faith he has in himself as Trevor puts his arm around Stefan's shoulders and begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “I know he's been undefeated in his matches, but there's one thing you both do have in common and that's the fact you both have a win over Justin Blade and speaking of that win. Did you get a chance to watch your match with Justin?”
Stefan Raab: “No I haven't because I've only just came back from Germany yesterday after being there for two weeks to promote the APW Survive and Conquer event.”
Trevor Williams: “That's fine because luckily for you, I have the DVD in my bag. Let me get it out and we'll watch it on the TV over there.”
While Trevor gets the DVD from his bag in the changing rooms, Stefan gets up from the ring and goes towards where the TV was as he drinks his bottle of water and throws it in the bin as he gets a chair and sits in front of the TV as he stopped crying as Trevor puts the DVD in the player and presses play as he sits next to Stefan to watch Stefan's last match on TNT against Justin Blade. Trevor and Stefan watched the match with Stefan completely dominating the match all the way through and Stefan used Killercutter to win the match as Trevor takes the DVD out of the player and puts the DVD back in the box as Trevor begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “Now do you believe in Jake when he said you dominated the match against Justin?”
It certainly gave Stefan a lot of confidence after watching the DVD, realizing that he can focus on matches if he puts his mind to it as he actually smiled because of the dominant performance he watched of himself beating Justin for the win as he begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “After watching that match, you bet I am and I'm more confident than ever on wrestling against Mikal Jordan. I know he beat Justin Blade to be a contender for the TNT title, but people are saying that I was the best runner up in the tournament because I gave Travis everything I got, but he was better than me in the ring and deserved the TNT title shot more than I did.”
Trevor Williams: “You tried your best and that's what people are going to remember, but you got a huge task on your hands by going up against the undefeated Mikal Jordan and I think you can push him to his limits and to face a real wrestler like yourself on Thursday night. Forget about Telmini and focus on Mikal, Stefan because otherwise it will cost you the match. I want to see you be angry and use every move you can to beat Mikal because you've proven yourself that you become a better wrestler when you're angry.”
Stefan Raab: “You're right that I should forget about Telmini and focus on Mikal this week along with being angry. I think I better get home as I've only spent a few hours with my wife and my sons since I've been back from Germany.”
Trevor Williams: “I understand and give me a call if you need somebody to train with and talk to as well when Jakes not around alright?”
Stefan Raab: “Yeah I will. Bye Trevor.”
Stefan then went back into the changing rooms to inject insulin into his stomach before he gets changed into his normal clothes and gets straight into his car to go home to spend time with his wife and sons all day until it was night time while they'd made love together before Stefan goes off to sleep to do an activity on talking about his match against Mikal Jordan the next day.
San Jose Earthquakes reserves training day. San Jose, California. Wednesday 29th January.
Stefan really wanted to improve on his stamina a lot because he knows that's his main weakness on preventing him from graduating from TNT brand to where ever Tom Sykes will end up depending on the draft coming up. He thought what a better way to improve his stamina while not being in the TNT facility than to play soccer which has always been Stefan's favourite sport. Of course he had to take his insulin injection first before going out to do any sport due to being a diabetic. Stefan's wearing a San Jose Earthquakes soccer shirt and shorts and wearing thick socks and soccer boots. He also wore a World Elite Wrestling badge and sweat bands on his wrist to show his loyalty to the company he represents everywhere he goes.
He walked out of the changing rooms to go on the soccer pitch to do a training session with the rest of the soccer players as he was told he was going to be a midfielder because they do a lot of running drills that for Stefan would suit him much better than any other position in soccer. The coach told the guys to warm themselves up and Stefan starts to talk about his match with Mikal Jordan.
Stefan Raab: “So a few weeks ago, I defeated Justin Blade by my dominant performance I put for the fans and I've only just got back from America on Monday night because these last two weeks, I've been in Germany doing nothing but promoting the Survive and Conquer event and meeting lots of fans and doing a lot of promotional stuff with filming movies and being in press conferences along with wrestling for World Elite Wrestling in the rumble and sure I didn't win for the company, but I performed the best out of the World Elite Wrestling team when I eliminated Luna from the match.
The feeling I got was amazing from the fans cheering me because of being the only German wrestler in the match and I feel I've let them down with my performance, but that's the past and I need to move on from the rumble and the Justin Blade match to talk about my opponent for my TNT match this week, Mikal Jordan.”
Stefan and the rest of the soccer players stopped warming up and they started to run around the pitch which is good for Stefan to work on his stamina like he needed to as he continues to speak.
Stefan Raab: “There's a lot of good things about this guy that I can talk about that he's kind of new to the wrestling business, but has shown as a rookie that he can wrestle by defeating two wrestlers in his WEW career and that already shows he has a lot of talent by that from winning over Forrest Taunzu on Anarchy and then continuing that winning streak on TNT on defeating Justin Blade to go going through the tournament for the TNT title on the Shine iPPV event to face against Travis Harris and Adam Dunn who are very talented wrestlers and claiming that they want to win the TNT title badly.
I think you are an amazing wrestler that has a lot of skill and talent to be in this wrestling business and you've been around wrestling ever since you was eighteen years old and I can respect that because most wrestlers if they had family problems would usually do drugs or drink alcohol that would send them to prison. Very wise to focus on your wrestling career rather than to join in gangs to beat people up and do drugs at the same time. You had to fork out a lot of money to get to where you are today and it's really paying off dude and I admire that a lot that you have a lot of heart and desire to be in the business.
The one thing you have over me in terms of skills in the ring is the thing I'm working on right at this moment is stamina hence why Travis beat me because he had great stamina and landing all of his high flying moves on me and having good stamina is extremely important when it comes to wrestling in the ring. I see you as a threat on you defeating me due to that and the wins you've had over two people counts a lot in wrestling.”
Stefan took a minute to take a breather as he had to wear a red bib to show that he was apart of the red team to play soccer going up against the blue team as he gets into position and waits for the referee to blow his whistle as he plays soccer along with continuing to speak about the match.
Stefan Raab: “The problem is you feel that you're scared of speaking up in front of lots of people, but to be honest from the interviews backstage, you seem to speak pretty good but I guess it's the confidence is the problem you have just like me when I wrestle as well more when I was diagnosed with diabetes, but I gained confidence by defeating Justin Blade in a match which you seemed to struggle to get him down, but that's only because you are quite new to professional wrestling just like me when it comes to World Elite Wrestling actually. You think I'm not a rookie, but I've only been wrestling for about a year and a half so from that I have a tiny bit more experience than you but only just.
Although your match being cancelled wasn't your fault because of Telmini not really wanting to wrestle because he knows you would get beat his ass, but you have no fear and you still managed to show up and mention something about the upcoming title match you have coming up, but I feel since your win with Justin Blade, you could have done more to get yourself in a match because not many people have seen you wrestle as of late and it's the reason why you get overlooked because until you get back in the ring with me, people will continue to not see you as a threat. I do however because of the winning streak you have since you've been in WEW, but other people don't.
The thing is that although you got beaten up a lot by your parents due to their alcohol addiction, You've could've done more as well with your past life to get help from child line and place you in a care home when you was younger and you could've advised them to go to rehab to stop drinking alcohol when you was eighteen years old. I will be honest and admit that I was addicted to alcohol when I was starting out in WEW before the TNT brand was even around and I drank thirty cans of beer everyday before my match with Angelica. I done a lot of sickening things that I wished I've never done like burning the American flag, destroying graves and most of all insult the wrestling business while I was drunk.
After my match with Trisha Monroe, Jake and my wife put me into rehab due to my alcohol dependency and I had to do 6 months worth of rehab, but it was worth it cos now it was the best thing they've ever done for me and I don't even touch alcohol anymore because I want to live my life and achieve my goals of succeeding as a wrestler. The reason why I told you this story is because if you advise your parents to go to rehab and support them with it, they will thank you for it like I do on them saving my life.”
It's the first time that Stefan actually told a story about being in rehab and how he'd had to overcome his addictions of drinking alcohol which benefited Stefan a lot and he wanted to help Mikal to try to admit his parents into rehab. He was chasing after players a lot really working on his stamina and he tackled a player and then ran with the ball and tries to kick the ball into the net, but it bounced off the post.
Stefan Raab: “God damn it.”
Stefan was also having fun as well playing soccer as he'd played the sport before, but never with a professional team knowing he's mainly doing soccer for improving on his stamina, but no harm on having fun right? He then continued to speak more about the match while running around trying to get the ball to give to the players on his team.
Stefan Raab: I was going off topic there which is completely irrelevant to the match we are having tomorrow night, but just so you know that you are going to be facing the toughest competition that you've ever had to face in your career to date. I really hope that you're focus is on me and not on the upcoming match against Adam Dunn and Travis Harris for the TNT title because it will cost you the match and even though Telmini has problems with me to sort out, I don't even care about him because this match is between me and you and my focus is all on you Mikal because that's what it takes to win wrestling matches in the company.
I don't want to be nasty to you about this because I already feel bad for saying that you haven't done much in WEW which you have more than me, but you don't seem to want the TNT title at all compared to Adam and Travis. Travis especially deserves the title shot more than anybody in the upcoming match because he and I are the only people that been with the TNT brand since the first show and that's something nobody else can say because everyone that was here for the first show are gone from the roster nowhere to be seen because me and Travis always pushed ourselves more than our limits at times in the gym while the rest of those TNT wrestlers struggled to keep up with both of us.
You mention a lot about being abused as a kid but to be honest that's the only information I've found out about you and it's like you got to tell people more than just your life history as a kid but then again I read how you tried to get yourself home schooled, getting back into studying again because you didn't want to be like the rest of the African American guys that couldn't be bothered to learn again which is another thing I'm impressed by is that you do want to learn how to wrestle and learn new things about whatever subjects you want to do and by all means you should go for it and you seem to be a very intelligent guy as well kind of like me in a way as well.”
Stefan suddenly had a chance to score a goal as he ran with the ball on the pitch and scored a goal.
Stefan Raab: “Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.”
Stefan had his eyes closed with his arms spread out wide as his team huddled around hi, celebrating with him as they put the ball in the middle of the pitch with Stefan's team winning two nil as his team mate scored the other goal while Stefan was talking as they continued to play the last half of the game as he continued to speak for the last time.
Stefan Raab: “I'm going to show and teach you everything that you need to succeed in the wrestling business because I respect you a lot and you deserve to face me in the ring regardless of what that punk said about you because I dominated the whole match to put it in nice terms since I refuse to say destroyed someone since it's not something I would say towards anybody in WEW.
Zharya said to Jake that I was going to be facing against somebody that's a tough competition for me due to her being impressed with my performance against Justin Blade. That's where you struggled to beat him, while he was easy pickings on my hand, but it was quite a cheap win to be honest that I got over Justin and I keep saying time and time again that I bleed, sweat and tear for this company everywhere I go because I love the fans in World Elite Wrestling and even the wrestlers themselves even if they hate me, but I almost got the respect back from the whole roster now and that means something to me.
I need to win this match to boost my confidence a lot more even though I've almost got rid of my fears of wrestling with my diabetes, but my fear is still there and all I need to do is win against you Mikal and due to the experience I have over you, I have more chance of winning this match than you do. I'm going out to the ring for these fans that deserve to see us perform and to tear the house down to make the fans be proud of us and giving you all the experience you need to get to the top. I will either make you tap out or pin you for the three count and all I got left to say is this. Prepare to be Raabinated by The Killerplauze.”
That was all Stefan had left to say otherwise he would repeat himself as he goes into his locker room to get changed into his normal clothes along with the coach saying to Stefan that he did a good job today on the pitch as he then got in his car to go back home to see his wife and his sons. Time will tell if Stefan will get another win on his WEW wrestling record tomorrow night as he spent a lot of time with them before he goes to sleep with his wife sleeping next to him.
