Backstage after the Mikal Jordan match. San Jose, California. Thursday 30th January
Stefan was taken straight to the medical room via by a stretcher as he couldn't stand after being attacked by Telmini and the doctor treated Stefan with some stitches in his forehead as he was bleeding everywhere that had leaked onto his chest and his wrestling gear as well. Jake came straight into the medical room with Stefan with his insulin injections he didn't want to take as Jake says this to Stefan.
Jake Raab: “Stefan, you need to take this insulin straight away after the doctor has stitched you up.”
Stefan Raab: “Sorry I didn't listen to you Jake. I was so pissed with Telmini that I wanted to challenge him for a match to have this problem that me and him have sorted.”
Jake Raab: “Which you did and I got to say after today, you did something that no wrestler would possibly ever do before a match when they've been attacked brutally and that's the heart and courage you showed to continue wrestling Mikal.”
Stefan Raab: “I've said this from day one Jake that I'll never let these fans down and I said in the ring tonight no matter what condition I was in, I'll still wrestle and I never give up with any of my matches I have here in World Elite Wrestling.”
Jake showed a lot of respect for Stefan as even he would've forfeited the match because of being afraid to wrestle in bad condition and Stefan was feeling the pain with the stitches he had on his head which were taking a while to heal since with Stefan's diabetes, he was a very slow healer that would usually take a normal person a few days to recover, but for Stefan it was going to take about two weeks to fully heal up from the cuts he received from Telmini. The doctor then begins to speak.
TNT Doctor: “I see that you didn't take your insulin shot Stefan and that's quite a reckless thing to do, but understandable since you was pissed with him so I've finished stitching your head up and I want to see you take your insulin injection now.”
Stefan picked up the insulin pen that Jake left on the table as he injected the insulin into his stomach and after he'd taken it, he was feeling much better and the doctor started to talk again to Stefan and Jake.
TNT Doctor: “You may leave this room now Stefan and Jake since I've finished stitching your head and it will take you longer to recover due to your diabetes.”
Stefan Raab: “I understand doc, thanks again for your help.”
Stefan and Jake left the room as they walked back into Stefan's locker room and as soon as Stefan was about to leave, Jake really wanted to have a word with Stefan with something that had been bothering him and the majority of the TNT locker room as he sat down and Stefan asked a question.
Stefan Raab: “Why you sitting down for Jake? I want to get the hell out of here now.”
Jake Raab: “Stefan please sit down as I need to talk to you about something that a lot of wrestlers are highly worried about with you.”
Stefan listened as he sat down with Jake, wondering what was going on as he'd didn't know and it made him question everything as Stefan was still hurting from the attack and he asks another question.
Stefan Raab: “OK so I've sat down and what is the issue you and the other wrestlers have with me?”
Jake Raab: “I don't know how to say this, but you really need to step back from needing me all the time. I mean a lot of wrestlers don't like the way you act around me.”
Stefan Raab: “What do you mean?”
Jake Raab: “I and the rest of the wrestlers feel that you are a bit too needy. I don't mean the whole dating women thing. I mean the lack of confidence, no self esteem and blaming yourself on your mistakes. I'm not being horrible Stefan, but I think it's best that you leave me alone for a while and figure things out yourself because you need to prove to me and everyone in the TNT locker room that you can do things for yourself like standing up for yourself and coping with your diabetes.”
Stefan Raab: “But Jake, I don't know how to defend for myself without pissing people off which I've done plenty of with Chris McKenzie and Gabriel Asar already and it got me hated more than it did in the past.”
Jake Raab: “You need to Stefan because ignoring them make things worse and praising the other wrestlers instead of yourself is getting you nowhere.”
Stefan was sitting there silently until it all got too much for him as he cried, knowing he feared of being alone and feeling lonely and Jake continues to speak.
Jake Raab: “I'm sorry for upsetting you, but I'm speaking the truth here. I understand how hard it is at the moment for you to cope with Telmini, but you need to start handling situations yourself rather than having me to do things for you.”
Stefan Raab: “What shall I do then?”
Jake Raab: “You can start by being more busy like next week you can promote the TNT Shine PPV event in New York and get some training done with somebody else as well. Even take up the hobby of playing soccer since you enjoyed doing that didn't you?
Stefan Raab: “Yeah I did and I always feel not confident in myself and it's coming to a point where it's literally killing me on being forced to say something bad to Telmini that I don't want to do.”
Jake Raab: “Well that's something you got to figure out, but you need to get your act together and start doing things on your own, but after your match with Telmini at the PPV, I'm taking you to see a psychologist to help you sort your lack of confidence out and build up on your self esteem as well.”
Stefan nodded as there was nothing more he wanted to do than to live a happy life rather than being depressed everyday almost refusing to be nasty to people, but he thought in his mind that Jake was right that he needed to be away from Jake for a while and sort himself out as he still was in tears.
Stefan Raab: “OK that's fine and I'll start doing things by myself on twitter and everywhere else to stand up for myself that I hate to do, especially being nasty towards other WEW stars, but I have to with Telmini after what he said about my wife. It crossed the line with me and it's something I'm not letting him get away with.”
Jake Raab: “Certainly not. Come on let's get out of here and go our own ways for a while away from each other. Go back home and really think about what I said Stefan.”
Stefan Raab: “I will, thanks for reminding me. Bye.”
Stefan got his stuff together as Jake left Stefan to spend time to do his own thing to train to become a pro wrestler as Stefan went to drive back home in Anaheim, California to think a lot about being more independent with himself and proving people that he can do things himself before he goes off to sleep to work on what Jake said the next days onwards.
Learning new moves. San Jose, California. Monday 3rd February.
Stefan decided after the chat he had with Jake three days ago, he had to start doing things by himself and if it meant that he would train on his own then it would be fine since he much preferred to train and work out a lot then doing anything else as people thought that Stefan wasn't pushing hard enough in the gym, especially the rumours he heard that somebody else was in the TNT facility everyday.
There was nothing more Stefan wanted to do than to train as he wanted to try out a few moves on a fully clothed blow up doll on him doing some submission moves and doing some elbow and leg drops on the doll and also using his newest move the double arm German suplex which he did successfully as suddenly, his trainer he'd met a few weeks ago Trevor Williams who was selected by Zharya herself to train Stefan as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “Did you forget that I was in the gym today?”
Stefan Raab: “I didn't even know you was here Trevor.”
Trevor Williams: “I apologize as I was busy sorting things out as I've just moved house to live closer to San Jose.”
Stefan Raab: “It's OK. Anyway I'm glad you are here because there's something I really want to try out in the ring and I need your help to see if I can get this new move right.”
Trevor Williams: “What is this new move you got you want to learn?”
Stefan Raab: “It's called double arm German Suplex.”
Trevor Williams: “Ah to keep the German Suplex machine nickname going right?”
Stefan Raab: “Of course.”
Trevor was happy because Stefan finally wanted to try a new move, something Trevor's been waiting for with Stefan as he hadn't wanted to try a new move until now and even Trevor had another move in mind for Stefan to work on as well, but for now it was time for Stefan to practice the move as Trevor begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “This move is other known as the tiger suplex as well so give it a shot to see what you can do with me.”
Stefan gets Trevor from behind and then he hooks Trevor's arms from his sides, placing his palm of his hands on the upper back of Trevor's and then he lifts Trevor up as Stefan falls backwards and arches his back and legs to slam Trevor's neck and shoulders first to the mat which was for the first time Stefan got the move right after getting it wrong the last time with the blow up doll and Trevor got up and clapped for Stefan as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “That's an excellent move you did on me and guess what? I've watched a lot of Japan wrestling recently and what I came across on youtube is a new move for you to learn which I wanted to show you today.”
Stefan Raab: “Oh yeah, what is this move you got for me called?”
Trevor Williams: “It's called Arm Trap Chickenwing German Suplex.”
Stefan Raab: “Ah, I've never heard of that move before. How does that move work?”
Trevor Williams: “Luckily for you, I recorded it on DVD to show you from youtube how the move works because I feel it's much easier to show you than to explain it so watch this video.
Trevor got out of the ring as he turned the TV screen around to Stefan in the ring as he then put the DVD in the drive and pressed play to show a clip of a Japanese wrestler doing the arm trap chickenwing German Suplex move which was quite a short clip as he begins to speak to Stefan.
Trevor Williams: “Want to see the move again?”
Stefan Raab: “Two more times please.”
Trevor pressed play on the DVD to show Stefan two more times how to do the arm trap chickenwing German Suplex move and then the second time, they just leave the DVD in the player as Trevor leaves the remote on the chair as he gets back into the ring and says this to Stefan.
Trevor Williams: “Now try and do the move on me.”
Stefan nodded as he hadn't done this move before as he remembered to hook Trevor's left arm around his waist and placing his palm of his hand on Stefan's stomach and holding Trevor's arm behind him as he fell backwards and slammed Trevor's neck and shoulders onto the mat into a pin and for the first move he done, Trevor thought Stefan used the move really good as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “For your first attempt at the move, that was very well done that you managed to get the move right first time. Any time you want to go over some moves or want to learn a new move you know I've always got your back don't you?”
Stefan Raab: “Yes I do and I thought it was a fun day learning new moves with you rather than just the same old thing of training on my stamina and doing a bit of wrestling. It's something I really needed to do with you today.”
Trevor Williams: “Indeed and you got Telmini in a match in New York over the next few days haven't you?”
Stefan Raab: “Yes I have and after the things he said about me and most importantly, my wife and kids, I really want to beat Telmini's ass down in the ring very badly. I have this thing about wanting to almost destroy and end him, but I think that's a bit too much.”
Trevor thought Stefan was crazy as he knew Stefan wasn't a fan of hurting his opponents, but after what Telmini said about going into Stefan's personal life? It certainly had a lot of questions to answer as Trevor talks about it.
Trevor Williams: “I know you don't want to hurt Telmini, but dude don't you realize he pushed the barriers with you on bringing up your personal life?”
Stefan Raab: “Of course I do and it's the reason why I challenged him to a match because I want to end this once and for all. I'm going to literally put everything on the line for this match and I've been studying his match with Justin Blade over and over again to work on his weaknesses and strengths and also the Travis Harris match as well.”
Trevor Williams: “There you see, you didn't need me to help you study him so I applaud you for studying on Telmini in advance. Why are you feeling confident going into this match Stefan?”
Stefan Raab: “Because Jake told me that I shouldn't put myself down too much and to praise and give myself credit a lot more for what I do in the ring without getting too arrogant about it that is.”
Trevor Williams: “About time Stefan. Now I'll have to let you go now because you got to catch your flight to New York to do some promoting for the event and possibly do some interviews with other people as well about your upcoming match.”
Stefan Raab: “Yeah, that's a good idea since I love to show my World Elite Wrestling colours off to the world. I do better get going though as every TNT star has to be there before Wednesday to promote the iPPV event. I'll see you later Trevor. Bye.”
Stefan got his things together as he left the TNT gym to head straight towards San Jose airport to catch his flight to New York as once he arrived, he collected his luggage and then caught a taxi to go straight to his hotel to check in as he went up the stairs into his bedroom and went to get some sleep at one in the morning to explore the city along with maybe interviewing some locals on Saturday.
Stefan's New York tour. New York City. Saturday 16th February.
Instead of doing his usual thing. He wanted to do his own tour of the city as he had a camera man filming on Stefan for his youtube channel he'd set up and he wanted to have some fun and hopefully meeting up some of the local celebrities walking around New York like he'd been doing for the past two weeks on promoting the World Elite Wrestling Shine iPPV. Although Stefan seems to be much happier today, he still was feeling a little down and angry about the comments that Telmini had said about him.
But it wasn't going to distract him that much unless some celebrities or locals tried to bring up the topics Telmini said about Stefan and his family and he was walking around in the snow as he gets ready to speak.
Stefan Raab: “This is it. A match I've been waiting for the last two weeks against Telmini who has been bothering me to no end and not leaving me alone. I'm still wondering why he done stuff to me when I've said and done nothing to him. So today I'm going to have fun and hopefully coming across some local celebrities that I may end up interviewing and also at the same time talk about my match against Telmini the asshole he is. I've been counting down days and weeks to the match up between me and him and I'm looking forward on kicking his butt straight back to Japan.”
Stefan still hadn't found anyone to interview as of yet until a few minutes later, a local stood in front of the camera and Stefan got his microphone out of his pocket and begins to speak to the young man who was in his twenties and looks like to be a wrestling fan.
Stefan Raab” Oh so we got a local standing here in front of me. So who do you think is going to win between me and Telmini?
Local young man: “You.”
Stefan Raab: “Whys that?”
Local young man: “Because you're the best wrestler out of the two of you and you show how much you care about World Elite Wrestling company and the sport itself.”
Stefan Raab: “Are you coming down to Madison Square Garden tomorrow night to watch the TNT Shine iPPV?”
Local young man: “Hell yeah. I love wrestling as it's my passion and my life. Good luck for tomorrow.”
The young man walked away as Stefan continued walking around to explore the city as he continued to speak.
Stefan Raab: “So I got to speak positive about Telmini on how he's good at being entertaining like seriously, I think there's a few fans out there that want him to win more than with me because of his character and how he presents himself. Another thing I like about him is that he comes from a country where they take their wrestling seriously that are all about technical, submission and even some power moves as well. They bring life to wrestling and it's unfortunate there's not enough Japanese wrestlers in the business that want to wrestle in WEW or anywhere else around the universe that want to wrestle outside of Japan.
I also give Telmini credit on how speedy he is in the ring because that's something I really lack a lot of at the moment and improving on my stamina is something I'm doing every single day overcoming the boundaries of it costing me to wrestle to my full potential and I'm not going to underestimate Telmini at all because if I do that then I'd embarrass myself and also his win would mean nothing so there's no way I'm going to count him out as a threat to me in this match.”
Stefan was dead serious as he'd always try and find something positive about all of his opponents he faces in the ring and he tells the camera man to film the famous Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for a bit as while the locals weren't around Stefan, he continues to speak.
Stefan Raab: “The problem I have is you really crossed the line when it comes to talking about my wife and my kids. Do you want to know why Fizz ended up with me? It's because that scumbag James Toseland left her on the streets and she was completely homeless, having nowhere to live and it was only one of my friends who's very close to Fizz that needed somebody to help her and I did by getting her a house in California and living her live like every woman deserves.
She's been much happier since so don't you dear to ever bring up Toseland again because I knocked him out when I saw him a couple of years ago trying to harass Fizz to go back out with him when she said no and I ended up being her hero for that and he was hurting real bad, suffering with a black eye and even bruises on his face. Yes she had a son with him, but he was sent to an adoption home because Fizz was homeless and now he's with strict parents and they don't want Fizz anywhere near her biological son.
She will never come to WEW because she's banned from the company so you won't ever see or even come close to her as long as I'm around so don't you dear think about saying shit about her having three kids with you ever again since she doesn't know you and I'd rather keep it like that.”
Stefan was finished talking about that side of things as he walked into Times Square where he's bound to find some celebrities walking around and boy he did and he bumped into the cookie monster from Sesame Street and Stefan looked up on him and begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “What you doing walking around here?”
Cookie Monster: “Grr watching wrestling makes me hungry.”
Stefan Raab: “Do you need a sweet?”
Cookie Monster: “No, grr cookie now before I eat you alive.”
Stefan laughed as it was funny, but he had a pack of cookies in the bag which he handed to the cookie monster and ended up holding Stefan in a wrestling move in a choke which Stefan pretended to be choked.
Cookie Monster: “Grr you beat Telmini tomorrow night.”
Stefan Raab: “Hopefully I will.”
The cookie monster went to the other tourists that were near by as Stefan went into the dress up shop to buy something and a few minutes later, he came out wearing a joker mask with his clothes on being a villain from Batman as he continues to speak about the match.
Stefan Raab: “What I'm dressed up as now symbols everything about you Telmini a god damn joke to the wrestling business because you barely ever wrestle and the only times you have were against Travis Harris and Justin Blade while everyone else has had to wrestle more than twice to earn their spots on the roster which clearly Travis has and so have I. You piss on the business in general and you disrespect the one thing that means a lot to me more than anything and that's World Elite Wrestling company and it makes me sick.
I wonder why you are even a wrestler since every wrestler must turn up to wrestle if they are one hundred percent fit, not from your own decision on refusing to wrestle. You saw the match where nobody thought I was going to be able to compete after your coward attack on me didn't you? Cowards don't have the heart to be in the ring and you show total lack of respect for the sport and not only that but you run away from every match you've been booked in except the two matches I've mentioned earlier and that's wrong. You belong in a boy's body the way you act around the business and you're a cheater with no heart or courage to man up and attack me like a man face to face because you're afraid of me.
You tried to get me injured before my match with Mikal and even with your attack, it didn't stop me to wrestle because I will never go home and leave the WEW fans disappointed since I live and breathe for this company and I'd do anything it takes to make them go home happy with my blood, sweat and tears I put on the line each time I wrestle. I won because I showed heart, courage and the desire of never backing down or quit from a fight since that's what makes a true wrestler to overcome their problems and issues and just to get on with it, something you've never done since you've been in TNT and I can't see that changing either after this match.
Hell I always wear something related to the WEW company everywhere I go like this armband I have on both of my waists because I'm proud to be a wrestler for WEW and proud to represent this company all over the world. The last two weeks I've been here in fact, I've done nothing but promote the iPPV and our match as well and that's why people will look at me sooner rather than later as being the face of World Elite Wrestling because before I came along, it wasn't well known to the wrestling world that this place existed but thanks to me, WEW was mentioned on the Wrestling Guerillas radio show after they've met up with me at the Experts tournament when I faced against Talon Wilkinson and now the world knows and has heard all about WEW.”
That's the one thing a lot of people forget with Stefan is the amount of work he does for the company and getting the company known to the wrestling world, something not a lot of wrestlers would go out and do in their busy schedules and suddenly, Stefan not watching where he's going bumped into a wrestling fan that's clearly not in a happy mood.
Telmini fan: “Watch where you going boring wrestler.”
Stefan ignored the fan as he walked away until the fan started shouting this at Stefan.
Telmini fan: “Telmini's gonna kick your ass tomorrow night because he's more entertaining than you'll ever be. You're not entertaining or exciting to watch in the ring and a pathetic excuse for a wrestler. He's the best wrestler in TNT.”
Stefan Raab: “Is that so? I guess we will wait and see tomorrow night won't we?”
Telmini fan walked away as Stefan was still walking in Times Square because there was a lot going on with theatres and lots of people walking past since Time Square is the most visited place in America that tourists go and visit and there was lots of things to see and look around which the cameraman filmed and he continued to speak.
Stefan Raab: “Do you know what else makes you a joke Telmini? The fact you claim to be a Tokyo City Killer. What the heck does that suppose to mean? Does that mean that you want to kill people? Oh wait that last comment in German you made said I will be killed tomorrow night? Don't you realize that you would go into prison for killing somebody and possibly banned from wrestling in any company? You would belong with Tom but then again you and Sykes are highly alike with your lack of care towards the business and having no desire of wanting to go for titles at all. That's my dream right there to become the TNT champion but that has to wait because dealing with the so called Tokyo City Killer is in my way of my dreams.
Sure I'm known as The Killerplauze, but that doesn't mean I want to kill anybody and even not wanting to hurt you even though you deserve it after the things you've said about my wife, but I wouldn't stoop down that low since I'm not that person any more and that's another thing people always forget that I've changed a lot since I've been back in WEW and it's getting rather repetitive that I keep bringing this topic up every time I regard my matches, but a lot of people still fail to realize how much I've changed to become a more serious wrestler than I was when I first came into WEW to have matches against champions which well was pathetic and not at the same time because I was stupid to think I could beat champions that aren't my level, but I wanted to see if I could succeed as a wrestler because I needed to move onto doing something new which worked in my favour.
If it wasn't for Vantage or Angelica Monroe, I wouldn't be here right now wrestling against the other TNT wrestlers such as yourself so I owe my career to them as well as Alakai for allowing the matches to happen, but they got me interested in wrestling and Vantage supports me a lot with my wrestling career and he gives me a lot of advice about the business and how to improve on my moves and everything else I need to know to achieve my dreams on becoming one of the best wrestlers in WEW. Vantage and Angelica didn't even like me before my matches against them and I was hated a lot during those times I wrestled them because of what I did, but now they respect me just as much as I do and it made my decision easier to become a professional wrestler.”
Stefan was stopped by a man who was only wearing a pair of pants with a guitar around his shoulder and a cowboy hat as it happened to be one of the naked cowboys singing across the street and Stefan starts to talk.
Stefan Raab: “Are you cold this time of the year with just wearing pants?”
Naked Cowboy: “Not at all.”
Stefan Raab: “I think you are pretty crazy to be almost naked walking around New York in this snowy weather.”
Naked Cowboy: “But you're crazy as well Stefan, wanting to continue wrestling against Mikal with you being busted wide open. You have a lot of heart and courage dude. Ignore what people say about you and do your own thing.”
Stefan Raab: “I keep that in mind cowboy. Anyway who do you think will win between me and Telmini.”
Naked Cowboy: “You because Telmini hasn't really proven to himself to World Elite Wrestling and he doesn't seem to want to wrestle unlike you wanting to be almost a hero for the fans and representing WEW all over the world. By the way good luck for the match against Telmini tomorrow night.”
Stefan Raab: “Thank you.”
The Naked Cowboy went off as he went to talk to the other tourists around the city like he does everyday as Stefan then took a long walk all the way to Madison Square Garden as Stefan speaks for the last time.
Stefan Raab: “I've finally arrived at Madison Square Garden arena where our match is happening tomorrow night Telmini a place where I'm willing to kick your ass due to the things you've said about me and my family. Oh no I haven't forgotten about you taking the piss out of my diabetes, but I'm not talking about it today mainly because I know I annoy people with what I say about my condition. You see Telmini I can back up the fact I've had losses against great men like Travis Harris and Lance Lockhart because to date, they are the only people in TNT that have beaten me but majority of my wins have been cheap wins handed to me.
I got to prove to myself and everyone that those wins weren't cheap and the only way I can do that is to beat you because that's something I need to do right now is to win over a tough wrestler being in my way. I also got to prove that I can solve my problems out with you myself without Jake being by my side to help me, although he hasn't really interrupted in any of my matches because I always tell him I can win matches on my own and also that I have the heart and courage to be around the business and with the commentators said I was a true fighter proves my point.
Enough about that though and I'll talk about what I'm going to do. There's nothing more I want to do right now than to beat you in the ring without you being injured in the match and to show you everything I have in the ring to prove that I belong in the wrestling business and also I want to beat the respect out of you because you haven't earned mine or anybody's respect in TNT with the mysterious appearances you make without breaking sweat in the ring and you don't even turn up for training classes either. I show up every day and night even when I've been told to go home, I work hard on improving on my wrestling skills because I love being apart of the sport and there's nothing I would do than to improve my skills in the ring against you.
I have two moves I've learned recently to use on you because I do nearly every single German Suplex hence why I'm being known as the German suplex machine due to what I do in the ring against you and everyone else in TNT. You really pissed me off, but that's the thing Telmini by you doing that makes me determined to win against you a lot more and I do want to win this match badly to build up on my confidence and to prove people wrong as well.”
Stefan continued to walk around outside of the arena and it was a pretty big stadium he's wrestling in tomorrow night and continues to speak.
Stefan Raab: “I'm going to punish you for everything you've said and done to me and even destroying your ego and it's going to end in the ring sooner rather than later when I go out there for these fans cheering me to shut your mouth once and for all putting you on check that you don't have heart and courage and hell, you don't even want to win matches and titles while I do and this match means a lot to me and I can't wait to pin or submit you to prove to you that me calling you out for a match at Shine iPPV was worth it.
Christmas has come late, but I'm going to be that Santa that delivers the goods for the fans tomorrow night by defeating you in the ring something I know I can do, especially your performances in the ring lately. This Raabinator is not going to stop at any cost to show everything I got in the ring and you made me turn into a new man that's not going to back down from you until the job is done tomorrow night so I can go to the next stage of my WEW career to get my shot at the TNT title, but first I need to beat you to get there. Tomorrow night in this arena Telmini, you will be prepared to be Raabinated by The Killerplauze when I have my hand raised in the middle of the ring as the winner of our match after I pin or make you tap out. Good luck cos you are going to need every bit of it with the mood I will be in that you'll regret very quickly.”
Stefan finished talking about his match as the cameraman stopped recording on Stefan's camera and passed it back to him as the cameraman went to do his own thing while Stefan went straight into his hotel room to sleep until he gets up in the morning to train in the gym until the evening where he goes to the arena and prepares for his match against Telmini.
Stefan was taken straight to the medical room via by a stretcher as he couldn't stand after being attacked by Telmini and the doctor treated Stefan with some stitches in his forehead as he was bleeding everywhere that had leaked onto his chest and his wrestling gear as well. Jake came straight into the medical room with Stefan with his insulin injections he didn't want to take as Jake says this to Stefan.
Jake Raab: “Stefan, you need to take this insulin straight away after the doctor has stitched you up.”
Stefan Raab: “Sorry I didn't listen to you Jake. I was so pissed with Telmini that I wanted to challenge him for a match to have this problem that me and him have sorted.”
Jake Raab: “Which you did and I got to say after today, you did something that no wrestler would possibly ever do before a match when they've been attacked brutally and that's the heart and courage you showed to continue wrestling Mikal.”
Stefan Raab: “I've said this from day one Jake that I'll never let these fans down and I said in the ring tonight no matter what condition I was in, I'll still wrestle and I never give up with any of my matches I have here in World Elite Wrestling.”
Jake showed a lot of respect for Stefan as even he would've forfeited the match because of being afraid to wrestle in bad condition and Stefan was feeling the pain with the stitches he had on his head which were taking a while to heal since with Stefan's diabetes, he was a very slow healer that would usually take a normal person a few days to recover, but for Stefan it was going to take about two weeks to fully heal up from the cuts he received from Telmini. The doctor then begins to speak.
TNT Doctor: “I see that you didn't take your insulin shot Stefan and that's quite a reckless thing to do, but understandable since you was pissed with him so I've finished stitching your head up and I want to see you take your insulin injection now.”
Stefan picked up the insulin pen that Jake left on the table as he injected the insulin into his stomach and after he'd taken it, he was feeling much better and the doctor started to talk again to Stefan and Jake.
TNT Doctor: “You may leave this room now Stefan and Jake since I've finished stitching your head and it will take you longer to recover due to your diabetes.”
Stefan Raab: “I understand doc, thanks again for your help.”
Stefan and Jake left the room as they walked back into Stefan's locker room and as soon as Stefan was about to leave, Jake really wanted to have a word with Stefan with something that had been bothering him and the majority of the TNT locker room as he sat down and Stefan asked a question.
Stefan Raab: “Why you sitting down for Jake? I want to get the hell out of here now.”
Jake Raab: “Stefan please sit down as I need to talk to you about something that a lot of wrestlers are highly worried about with you.”
Stefan listened as he sat down with Jake, wondering what was going on as he'd didn't know and it made him question everything as Stefan was still hurting from the attack and he asks another question.
Stefan Raab: “OK so I've sat down and what is the issue you and the other wrestlers have with me?”
Jake Raab: “I don't know how to say this, but you really need to step back from needing me all the time. I mean a lot of wrestlers don't like the way you act around me.”
Stefan Raab: “What do you mean?”
Jake Raab: “I and the rest of the wrestlers feel that you are a bit too needy. I don't mean the whole dating women thing. I mean the lack of confidence, no self esteem and blaming yourself on your mistakes. I'm not being horrible Stefan, but I think it's best that you leave me alone for a while and figure things out yourself because you need to prove to me and everyone in the TNT locker room that you can do things for yourself like standing up for yourself and coping with your diabetes.”
Stefan Raab: “But Jake, I don't know how to defend for myself without pissing people off which I've done plenty of with Chris McKenzie and Gabriel Asar already and it got me hated more than it did in the past.”
Jake Raab: “You need to Stefan because ignoring them make things worse and praising the other wrestlers instead of yourself is getting you nowhere.”
Stefan was sitting there silently until it all got too much for him as he cried, knowing he feared of being alone and feeling lonely and Jake continues to speak.
Jake Raab: “I'm sorry for upsetting you, but I'm speaking the truth here. I understand how hard it is at the moment for you to cope with Telmini, but you need to start handling situations yourself rather than having me to do things for you.”
Stefan Raab: “What shall I do then?”
Jake Raab: “You can start by being more busy like next week you can promote the TNT Shine PPV event in New York and get some training done with somebody else as well. Even take up the hobby of playing soccer since you enjoyed doing that didn't you?
Stefan Raab: “Yeah I did and I always feel not confident in myself and it's coming to a point where it's literally killing me on being forced to say something bad to Telmini that I don't want to do.”
Jake Raab: “Well that's something you got to figure out, but you need to get your act together and start doing things on your own, but after your match with Telmini at the PPV, I'm taking you to see a psychologist to help you sort your lack of confidence out and build up on your self esteem as well.”
Stefan nodded as there was nothing more he wanted to do than to live a happy life rather than being depressed everyday almost refusing to be nasty to people, but he thought in his mind that Jake was right that he needed to be away from Jake for a while and sort himself out as he still was in tears.
Stefan Raab: “OK that's fine and I'll start doing things by myself on twitter and everywhere else to stand up for myself that I hate to do, especially being nasty towards other WEW stars, but I have to with Telmini after what he said about my wife. It crossed the line with me and it's something I'm not letting him get away with.”
Jake Raab: “Certainly not. Come on let's get out of here and go our own ways for a while away from each other. Go back home and really think about what I said Stefan.”
Stefan Raab: “I will, thanks for reminding me. Bye.”
Stefan got his stuff together as Jake left Stefan to spend time to do his own thing to train to become a pro wrestler as Stefan went to drive back home in Anaheim, California to think a lot about being more independent with himself and proving people that he can do things himself before he goes off to sleep to work on what Jake said the next days onwards.
Learning new moves. San Jose, California. Monday 3rd February.
Stefan decided after the chat he had with Jake three days ago, he had to start doing things by himself and if it meant that he would train on his own then it would be fine since he much preferred to train and work out a lot then doing anything else as people thought that Stefan wasn't pushing hard enough in the gym, especially the rumours he heard that somebody else was in the TNT facility everyday.
There was nothing more Stefan wanted to do than to train as he wanted to try out a few moves on a fully clothed blow up doll on him doing some submission moves and doing some elbow and leg drops on the doll and also using his newest move the double arm German suplex which he did successfully as suddenly, his trainer he'd met a few weeks ago Trevor Williams who was selected by Zharya herself to train Stefan as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “Did you forget that I was in the gym today?”
Stefan Raab: “I didn't even know you was here Trevor.”
Trevor Williams: “I apologize as I was busy sorting things out as I've just moved house to live closer to San Jose.”
Stefan Raab: “It's OK. Anyway I'm glad you are here because there's something I really want to try out in the ring and I need your help to see if I can get this new move right.”
Trevor Williams: “What is this new move you got you want to learn?”
Stefan Raab: “It's called double arm German Suplex.”
Trevor Williams: “Ah to keep the German Suplex machine nickname going right?”
Stefan Raab: “Of course.”
Trevor was happy because Stefan finally wanted to try a new move, something Trevor's been waiting for with Stefan as he hadn't wanted to try a new move until now and even Trevor had another move in mind for Stefan to work on as well, but for now it was time for Stefan to practice the move as Trevor begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “This move is other known as the tiger suplex as well so give it a shot to see what you can do with me.”
Stefan gets Trevor from behind and then he hooks Trevor's arms from his sides, placing his palm of his hands on the upper back of Trevor's and then he lifts Trevor up as Stefan falls backwards and arches his back and legs to slam Trevor's neck and shoulders first to the mat which was for the first time Stefan got the move right after getting it wrong the last time with the blow up doll and Trevor got up and clapped for Stefan as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “That's an excellent move you did on me and guess what? I've watched a lot of Japan wrestling recently and what I came across on youtube is a new move for you to learn which I wanted to show you today.”
Stefan Raab: “Oh yeah, what is this move you got for me called?”
Trevor Williams: “It's called Arm Trap Chickenwing German Suplex.”
Stefan Raab: “Ah, I've never heard of that move before. How does that move work?”
Trevor Williams: “Luckily for you, I recorded it on DVD to show you from youtube how the move works because I feel it's much easier to show you than to explain it so watch this video.
Trevor got out of the ring as he turned the TV screen around to Stefan in the ring as he then put the DVD in the drive and pressed play to show a clip of a Japanese wrestler doing the arm trap chickenwing German Suplex move which was quite a short clip as he begins to speak to Stefan.
Trevor Williams: “Want to see the move again?”
Stefan Raab: “Two more times please.”
Trevor pressed play on the DVD to show Stefan two more times how to do the arm trap chickenwing German Suplex move and then the second time, they just leave the DVD in the player as Trevor leaves the remote on the chair as he gets back into the ring and says this to Stefan.
Trevor Williams: “Now try and do the move on me.”
Stefan nodded as he hadn't done this move before as he remembered to hook Trevor's left arm around his waist and placing his palm of his hand on Stefan's stomach and holding Trevor's arm behind him as he fell backwards and slammed Trevor's neck and shoulders onto the mat into a pin and for the first move he done, Trevor thought Stefan used the move really good as he begins to speak.
Trevor Williams: “For your first attempt at the move, that was very well done that you managed to get the move right first time. Any time you want to go over some moves or want to learn a new move you know I've always got your back don't you?”
Stefan Raab: “Yes I do and I thought it was a fun day learning new moves with you rather than just the same old thing of training on my stamina and doing a bit of wrestling. It's something I really needed to do with you today.”
Trevor Williams: “Indeed and you got Telmini in a match in New York over the next few days haven't you?”
Stefan Raab: “Yes I have and after the things he said about me and most importantly, my wife and kids, I really want to beat Telmini's ass down in the ring very badly. I have this thing about wanting to almost destroy and end him, but I think that's a bit too much.”
Trevor thought Stefan was crazy as he knew Stefan wasn't a fan of hurting his opponents, but after what Telmini said about going into Stefan's personal life? It certainly had a lot of questions to answer as Trevor talks about it.
Trevor Williams: “I know you don't want to hurt Telmini, but dude don't you realize he pushed the barriers with you on bringing up your personal life?”
Stefan Raab: “Of course I do and it's the reason why I challenged him to a match because I want to end this once and for all. I'm going to literally put everything on the line for this match and I've been studying his match with Justin Blade over and over again to work on his weaknesses and strengths and also the Travis Harris match as well.”
Trevor Williams: “There you see, you didn't need me to help you study him so I applaud you for studying on Telmini in advance. Why are you feeling confident going into this match Stefan?”
Stefan Raab: “Because Jake told me that I shouldn't put myself down too much and to praise and give myself credit a lot more for what I do in the ring without getting too arrogant about it that is.”
Trevor Williams: “About time Stefan. Now I'll have to let you go now because you got to catch your flight to New York to do some promoting for the event and possibly do some interviews with other people as well about your upcoming match.”
Stefan Raab: “Yeah, that's a good idea since I love to show my World Elite Wrestling colours off to the world. I do better get going though as every TNT star has to be there before Wednesday to promote the iPPV event. I'll see you later Trevor. Bye.”
Stefan got his things together as he left the TNT gym to head straight towards San Jose airport to catch his flight to New York as once he arrived, he collected his luggage and then caught a taxi to go straight to his hotel to check in as he went up the stairs into his bedroom and went to get some sleep at one in the morning to explore the city along with maybe interviewing some locals on Saturday.
Stefan's New York tour. New York City. Saturday 16th February.
Instead of doing his usual thing. He wanted to do his own tour of the city as he had a camera man filming on Stefan for his youtube channel he'd set up and he wanted to have some fun and hopefully meeting up some of the local celebrities walking around New York like he'd been doing for the past two weeks on promoting the World Elite Wrestling Shine iPPV. Although Stefan seems to be much happier today, he still was feeling a little down and angry about the comments that Telmini had said about him.
But it wasn't going to distract him that much unless some celebrities or locals tried to bring up the topics Telmini said about Stefan and his family and he was walking around in the snow as he gets ready to speak.
Stefan Raab: “This is it. A match I've been waiting for the last two weeks against Telmini who has been bothering me to no end and not leaving me alone. I'm still wondering why he done stuff to me when I've said and done nothing to him. So today I'm going to have fun and hopefully coming across some local celebrities that I may end up interviewing and also at the same time talk about my match against Telmini the asshole he is. I've been counting down days and weeks to the match up between me and him and I'm looking forward on kicking his butt straight back to Japan.”
Stefan still hadn't found anyone to interview as of yet until a few minutes later, a local stood in front of the camera and Stefan got his microphone out of his pocket and begins to speak to the young man who was in his twenties and looks like to be a wrestling fan.
Stefan Raab” Oh so we got a local standing here in front of me. So who do you think is going to win between me and Telmini?
Local young man: “You.”
Stefan Raab: “Whys that?”
Local young man: “Because you're the best wrestler out of the two of you and you show how much you care about World Elite Wrestling company and the sport itself.”
Stefan Raab: “Are you coming down to Madison Square Garden tomorrow night to watch the TNT Shine iPPV?”
Local young man: “Hell yeah. I love wrestling as it's my passion and my life. Good luck for tomorrow.”
The young man walked away as Stefan continued walking around to explore the city as he continued to speak.
Stefan Raab: “So I got to speak positive about Telmini on how he's good at being entertaining like seriously, I think there's a few fans out there that want him to win more than with me because of his character and how he presents himself. Another thing I like about him is that he comes from a country where they take their wrestling seriously that are all about technical, submission and even some power moves as well. They bring life to wrestling and it's unfortunate there's not enough Japanese wrestlers in the business that want to wrestle in WEW or anywhere else around the universe that want to wrestle outside of Japan.
I also give Telmini credit on how speedy he is in the ring because that's something I really lack a lot of at the moment and improving on my stamina is something I'm doing every single day overcoming the boundaries of it costing me to wrestle to my full potential and I'm not going to underestimate Telmini at all because if I do that then I'd embarrass myself and also his win would mean nothing so there's no way I'm going to count him out as a threat to me in this match.”
Stefan was dead serious as he'd always try and find something positive about all of his opponents he faces in the ring and he tells the camera man to film the famous Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for a bit as while the locals weren't around Stefan, he continues to speak.
Stefan Raab: “The problem I have is you really crossed the line when it comes to talking about my wife and my kids. Do you want to know why Fizz ended up with me? It's because that scumbag James Toseland left her on the streets and she was completely homeless, having nowhere to live and it was only one of my friends who's very close to Fizz that needed somebody to help her and I did by getting her a house in California and living her live like every woman deserves.
She's been much happier since so don't you dear to ever bring up Toseland again because I knocked him out when I saw him a couple of years ago trying to harass Fizz to go back out with him when she said no and I ended up being her hero for that and he was hurting real bad, suffering with a black eye and even bruises on his face. Yes she had a son with him, but he was sent to an adoption home because Fizz was homeless and now he's with strict parents and they don't want Fizz anywhere near her biological son.
She will never come to WEW because she's banned from the company so you won't ever see or even come close to her as long as I'm around so don't you dear think about saying shit about her having three kids with you ever again since she doesn't know you and I'd rather keep it like that.”
Stefan was finished talking about that side of things as he walked into Times Square where he's bound to find some celebrities walking around and boy he did and he bumped into the cookie monster from Sesame Street and Stefan looked up on him and begins to speak.
Stefan Raab: “What you doing walking around here?”
Cookie Monster: “Grr watching wrestling makes me hungry.”
Stefan Raab: “Do you need a sweet?”
Cookie Monster: “No, grr cookie now before I eat you alive.”
Stefan laughed as it was funny, but he had a pack of cookies in the bag which he handed to the cookie monster and ended up holding Stefan in a wrestling move in a choke which Stefan pretended to be choked.
Cookie Monster: “Grr you beat Telmini tomorrow night.”
Stefan Raab: “Hopefully I will.”
The cookie monster went to the other tourists that were near by as Stefan went into the dress up shop to buy something and a few minutes later, he came out wearing a joker mask with his clothes on being a villain from Batman as he continues to speak about the match.
Stefan Raab: “What I'm dressed up as now symbols everything about you Telmini a god damn joke to the wrestling business because you barely ever wrestle and the only times you have were against Travis Harris and Justin Blade while everyone else has had to wrestle more than twice to earn their spots on the roster which clearly Travis has and so have I. You piss on the business in general and you disrespect the one thing that means a lot to me more than anything and that's World Elite Wrestling company and it makes me sick.
I wonder why you are even a wrestler since every wrestler must turn up to wrestle if they are one hundred percent fit, not from your own decision on refusing to wrestle. You saw the match where nobody thought I was going to be able to compete after your coward attack on me didn't you? Cowards don't have the heart to be in the ring and you show total lack of respect for the sport and not only that but you run away from every match you've been booked in except the two matches I've mentioned earlier and that's wrong. You belong in a boy's body the way you act around the business and you're a cheater with no heart or courage to man up and attack me like a man face to face because you're afraid of me.
You tried to get me injured before my match with Mikal and even with your attack, it didn't stop me to wrestle because I will never go home and leave the WEW fans disappointed since I live and breathe for this company and I'd do anything it takes to make them go home happy with my blood, sweat and tears I put on the line each time I wrestle. I won because I showed heart, courage and the desire of never backing down or quit from a fight since that's what makes a true wrestler to overcome their problems and issues and just to get on with it, something you've never done since you've been in TNT and I can't see that changing either after this match.
Hell I always wear something related to the WEW company everywhere I go like this armband I have on both of my waists because I'm proud to be a wrestler for WEW and proud to represent this company all over the world. The last two weeks I've been here in fact, I've done nothing but promote the iPPV and our match as well and that's why people will look at me sooner rather than later as being the face of World Elite Wrestling because before I came along, it wasn't well known to the wrestling world that this place existed but thanks to me, WEW was mentioned on the Wrestling Guerillas radio show after they've met up with me at the Experts tournament when I faced against Talon Wilkinson and now the world knows and has heard all about WEW.”
That's the one thing a lot of people forget with Stefan is the amount of work he does for the company and getting the company known to the wrestling world, something not a lot of wrestlers would go out and do in their busy schedules and suddenly, Stefan not watching where he's going bumped into a wrestling fan that's clearly not in a happy mood.
Telmini fan: “Watch where you going boring wrestler.”
Stefan ignored the fan as he walked away until the fan started shouting this at Stefan.
Telmini fan: “Telmini's gonna kick your ass tomorrow night because he's more entertaining than you'll ever be. You're not entertaining or exciting to watch in the ring and a pathetic excuse for a wrestler. He's the best wrestler in TNT.”
Stefan Raab: “Is that so? I guess we will wait and see tomorrow night won't we?”
Telmini fan walked away as Stefan was still walking in Times Square because there was a lot going on with theatres and lots of people walking past since Time Square is the most visited place in America that tourists go and visit and there was lots of things to see and look around which the cameraman filmed and he continued to speak.
Stefan Raab: “Do you know what else makes you a joke Telmini? The fact you claim to be a Tokyo City Killer. What the heck does that suppose to mean? Does that mean that you want to kill people? Oh wait that last comment in German you made said I will be killed tomorrow night? Don't you realize that you would go into prison for killing somebody and possibly banned from wrestling in any company? You would belong with Tom but then again you and Sykes are highly alike with your lack of care towards the business and having no desire of wanting to go for titles at all. That's my dream right there to become the TNT champion but that has to wait because dealing with the so called Tokyo City Killer is in my way of my dreams.
Sure I'm known as The Killerplauze, but that doesn't mean I want to kill anybody and even not wanting to hurt you even though you deserve it after the things you've said about my wife, but I wouldn't stoop down that low since I'm not that person any more and that's another thing people always forget that I've changed a lot since I've been back in WEW and it's getting rather repetitive that I keep bringing this topic up every time I regard my matches, but a lot of people still fail to realize how much I've changed to become a more serious wrestler than I was when I first came into WEW to have matches against champions which well was pathetic and not at the same time because I was stupid to think I could beat champions that aren't my level, but I wanted to see if I could succeed as a wrestler because I needed to move onto doing something new which worked in my favour.
If it wasn't for Vantage or Angelica Monroe, I wouldn't be here right now wrestling against the other TNT wrestlers such as yourself so I owe my career to them as well as Alakai for allowing the matches to happen, but they got me interested in wrestling and Vantage supports me a lot with my wrestling career and he gives me a lot of advice about the business and how to improve on my moves and everything else I need to know to achieve my dreams on becoming one of the best wrestlers in WEW. Vantage and Angelica didn't even like me before my matches against them and I was hated a lot during those times I wrestled them because of what I did, but now they respect me just as much as I do and it made my decision easier to become a professional wrestler.”
Stefan was stopped by a man who was only wearing a pair of pants with a guitar around his shoulder and a cowboy hat as it happened to be one of the naked cowboys singing across the street and Stefan starts to talk.
Stefan Raab: “Are you cold this time of the year with just wearing pants?”
Naked Cowboy: “Not at all.”
Stefan Raab: “I think you are pretty crazy to be almost naked walking around New York in this snowy weather.”
Naked Cowboy: “But you're crazy as well Stefan, wanting to continue wrestling against Mikal with you being busted wide open. You have a lot of heart and courage dude. Ignore what people say about you and do your own thing.”
Stefan Raab: “I keep that in mind cowboy. Anyway who do you think will win between me and Telmini.”
Naked Cowboy: “You because Telmini hasn't really proven to himself to World Elite Wrestling and he doesn't seem to want to wrestle unlike you wanting to be almost a hero for the fans and representing WEW all over the world. By the way good luck for the match against Telmini tomorrow night.”
Stefan Raab: “Thank you.”
The Naked Cowboy went off as he went to talk to the other tourists around the city like he does everyday as Stefan then took a long walk all the way to Madison Square Garden as Stefan speaks for the last time.
Stefan Raab: “I've finally arrived at Madison Square Garden arena where our match is happening tomorrow night Telmini a place where I'm willing to kick your ass due to the things you've said about me and my family. Oh no I haven't forgotten about you taking the piss out of my diabetes, but I'm not talking about it today mainly because I know I annoy people with what I say about my condition. You see Telmini I can back up the fact I've had losses against great men like Travis Harris and Lance Lockhart because to date, they are the only people in TNT that have beaten me but majority of my wins have been cheap wins handed to me.
I got to prove to myself and everyone that those wins weren't cheap and the only way I can do that is to beat you because that's something I need to do right now is to win over a tough wrestler being in my way. I also got to prove that I can solve my problems out with you myself without Jake being by my side to help me, although he hasn't really interrupted in any of my matches because I always tell him I can win matches on my own and also that I have the heart and courage to be around the business and with the commentators said I was a true fighter proves my point.
Enough about that though and I'll talk about what I'm going to do. There's nothing more I want to do right now than to beat you in the ring without you being injured in the match and to show you everything I have in the ring to prove that I belong in the wrestling business and also I want to beat the respect out of you because you haven't earned mine or anybody's respect in TNT with the mysterious appearances you make without breaking sweat in the ring and you don't even turn up for training classes either. I show up every day and night even when I've been told to go home, I work hard on improving on my wrestling skills because I love being apart of the sport and there's nothing I would do than to improve my skills in the ring against you.
I have two moves I've learned recently to use on you because I do nearly every single German Suplex hence why I'm being known as the German suplex machine due to what I do in the ring against you and everyone else in TNT. You really pissed me off, but that's the thing Telmini by you doing that makes me determined to win against you a lot more and I do want to win this match badly to build up on my confidence and to prove people wrong as well.”
Stefan continued to walk around outside of the arena and it was a pretty big stadium he's wrestling in tomorrow night and continues to speak.
Stefan Raab: “I'm going to punish you for everything you've said and done to me and even destroying your ego and it's going to end in the ring sooner rather than later when I go out there for these fans cheering me to shut your mouth once and for all putting you on check that you don't have heart and courage and hell, you don't even want to win matches and titles while I do and this match means a lot to me and I can't wait to pin or submit you to prove to you that me calling you out for a match at Shine iPPV was worth it.
Christmas has come late, but I'm going to be that Santa that delivers the goods for the fans tomorrow night by defeating you in the ring something I know I can do, especially your performances in the ring lately. This Raabinator is not going to stop at any cost to show everything I got in the ring and you made me turn into a new man that's not going to back down from you until the job is done tomorrow night so I can go to the next stage of my WEW career to get my shot at the TNT title, but first I need to beat you to get there. Tomorrow night in this arena Telmini, you will be prepared to be Raabinated by The Killerplauze when I have my hand raised in the middle of the ring as the winner of our match after I pin or make you tap out. Good luck cos you are going to need every bit of it with the mood I will be in that you'll regret very quickly.”
Stefan finished talking about his match as the cameraman stopped recording on Stefan's camera and passed it back to him as the cameraman went to do his own thing while Stefan went straight into his hotel room to sleep until he gets up in the morning to train in the gym until the evening where he goes to the arena and prepares for his match against Telmini.
