30 person rumble match in 2017

[Konrad Raab]

Family plans for the future and shocking announcements. Koln, Germany. Thursday 26th January. (Off camera)

Back at his home in Koln, Konrad had his mum Ingrid Raab, his sister Renate Raab, his daughters from his first marriage Aldetruda and Christa Raab, Aldetruda's boyfriend Dominik, Aldetruda's and Dominik's son along with Konrad's grandson Jens Gerald Raab junior and of course his ex wife Natalie were all at Aldetruda's house, having lots of family discussions about different things with work, having different relationships, moving forward with their lives and shocking announcements with lots of different things going on.

Sadly for them, Markus was missing, but he of course had a match of his own in America on Sunday for the EHWF Hardcore title so he couldn't attend, but it was still nice to have the family gathering, especially Konrad made an effort to be with his other part of the family more as they all sit on the sofa as Aldetruda speaks.

Aldetruda Raab (Konrad's eldest daughter): “I'm so glad we got majority of the Raab family together because me and Dominik have an announcement.”

When Konrad was going to respond, Aldetruda showed up a ring to everyone which left everyone, especially Konrad and Natalie gob smacked as she sees everyone looking strangely at her and Dominik as he speaks.

Dominik (Aldetruda's boyfriend): “Yesterday at the restaurant, I proposed to Aldetruda so yes, we're getting married.”

Konrad Raab: “Oh wow, congratulations.”

Of course everyone agreed as they all hugged one another as of course they already knew about one of Konrad's announcements from yesterday, but he's got a surprise of his own and he was so excited on telling everyone what it is, especially he had a major surprise nobody knew about, but Natalie wants to speak before Konrad could talk.

Natalie Raab (Konrad's ex wife): “I'll help you find a nice wedding dress Aldetruda, don't worry, but I'm so happy for you.”

Christa Raab (Konrad's youngest daughter): “Me too.”

Konrad Raab: “I'm so proud you two want to step forward and I welcome Dominik to the Raab family, but there's another announcement to make on my behalf.”

Ingrid Raab (Konrad's mum): “We know you're apart of the SCW Trios tournament, you've mentioned it yesterday.”

Konrad Raab: “No, it's not about that. Let me show you what I got in my pocket.”

Konrad smiles as he pulls out a bunch load of tickets out of his pocket and before he mentions it, his sister speaks while everyone was drinking their drinks of tea or coke or even an energy drink as they are a very close family with exciting plans ahead.

Renate Raab (Konrad's sister): “Are those the Trios tournament tickets?”

Konrad Raab: “Wrestling tickets yes, but not for the Trios tournament. This is what I've been doing for two years since Ryan Reigns died of cancer. You know the advertisements you've seen around Koln on a wrestling event called WWH Royal Rumble?”

Dominik: “Yes?”

Konrad Raab: “Keep this between yourselves and don't tell a soul, but I'm gonna wrestle in the Ryan Reigns memorial rumble Sunday night.”

Ingrid Raab: “Oh my god wow, I had no idea as I assumed you came here to see us.”

Konrad Raab: “I did, but at the same time, I'm here for business as well. Before you ask mum, I'm also dedicating the match to my father Jens Raab as well as Ryan Reigns.”

Everyone again stood up and gathered around Konrad as he already had tears on his face, hoping he could make his father proud as well as Ryan Reigns as he passes everyone their tickets for the Royal Rumble event as he plans to have all of his family at the rumble as everyone managed to grab a ticket from Konrad as he speaks.

Konrad Raab: “It means more than ever now I'm wrestling and winning for two people who died of cancer.”

Renate Raab: “Dad would be so proud of you. If only he would be there to watch you wrestle in his dedication as well as Ryan Reigns.”

Konrad Raab: “I know he will be from above. Ryan Reigns was a very close friend to Chris Matthews and I promised him every year I'd wrestle in the rumble and you all know I never break my promises to anyone.”

Natalie Raab: “Does Fizz know about this?”

Konrad Raab: “Not wrestling in the rumble no, but she'll know later, but for now, I need to go to the gym for a bit as this rumble means everything to me and this year, I'm winning for Jens Raab and Ryan Reigns and getting myself a WWH title shot later on in the year.”

Konrad gets his things together he already had brought with him and heads straight off to the gym as the family now start talking about Konrad's Royal Rumble entry on Sunday night as it spoke huge volumes on the big names who've faced Konrad in the past and knew he left WWH for a few reasons, but the focus was winning the Ryan Reigns and Jens Raab memorial rumble in his mind.

He spent five hours in the gym to come back and say goodbye and sorry to his family for leaving him without saying his goodbye's and eventually goes back to his apartment to get some sleep for the night.



Outside and inside of a graveyard. Koln, Germany. Saturday 28th January. (On camera)

It was very late at night in the pouring rain and there's a black masked person who's standing right outside of the graveyard for now since the person didn't want to go in just yet to see a particular grave that means a whole lot to them. Nobody knows if it's a man or a woman as it's very hidden for now as he sees the rain coming down quite heavily, but was still standing outside with a friend who's very close to the person who's in a black mask.

The person has thought a lot about the rumble match being advertised everywhere in Koln as nobody can see the reaction or any emotions the person may have, but it obviously meant a lot when the person is at the graveyard as a friend encouraged the person to talk as the person eventually does so.

??: “Since I've come to Koln, I've seen advertisements everywhere about a so called wrestling event happening tomorrow night called WWH Royal Rumble with twenty nine people being officially named to place themselves in the rumble. The rumble of course is completely different to a normal rumble where you win a title shot, it's a Ryan Reigns memorial rumble match.

Now of course to most people, it doesn't mean anything because the main focus is to win a chance of a shot for the WWH title. Everyone in the rumble knows that, but how many of you bothered to look up who Ryan Reigns was? How many of you have heard of Ryan Reigns?”

Now everyone could tell it's a male wrestler talking behind the mask mainly because it's a very deep voice, but still no actual clue as to who it was behind the mask other than being a male wrestler as he continues talking with the rain pouring down.

??: “I know some of you never even heard of Ryan, but the guy was a great man and a incredibly talented wrestler that even exhales other wrestlers around the world. I mean I know there's twenty nine guys in the rumble, but I go out to say that although I won't mention all of you mainly because I've got limited knowledge of some of you, you are threats in the match because the fact is you are unpredictable on what you can do or at least to me and like I'm very unpredictable on what I can achieve in the rumble.

But however, I know some of the names in the rumble who I've either worked with or I interacted with in the past, names like Ryan Payne, Ace Reigns, Chris Matthews, Kevin Hunter, Jason Cashe, Blackout, Phantom and Randy Fields so I'm mainly going to focus on talking about them simply since I know them very well and when they know later, they will see for themselves.”

Mainly this guy had limited knowledge of the other opponents so he wasn't really gonna focus on them, but knew everyone is a threat as the guy always believed in that.

??: “Yes I don't have history with Ryan Payne or Ace Reigns, but I remember you both were in the rumble last year and were very impressive, especially Ryan Payne I paid close attention to. Kevin Hunter I've had a lot of history with many years ago in another company, some say he's improved a lot since I heard he's the EHWF champion at the moment, good job lad on the improvement you've made in wrestling.

I of course remember Phantom very well and well if I go into details, everyone would find out immediately, but I certainly haven't forgotten about you, especially a voice I hear in my head mentioned you're name lately which causes me to aim and face you in the ring tomorrow night cos the past speaks for itself. Blackout is another name I've had history with just a couple of years ago. Not so much as with Phantom, but I remember you well.”

It was quite hard for the man to not really expose himself as much, but it was harder to not walk into the graveyard yet to expose the real hard truths about himself as he speaks again.

??: “Jason Cashe, you know me quite well from interactions we've had on twitter and the war you've been in with a certain guy who's very close to me, but what you've done in 4CW is something nobody can ignore. You're indeed one of the biggest threats in the rumble and I look forward on seeing what you can do and see what the talk is about because I pay close attention to 4CW and you've done nearly everything there is to achieve and I have nothing, but the up most respect for you, but you are a target for me for sure mainly because of the achievements you have along with the passion you have for the company as well.

Randy, you'd know me from the wars we've had two years ago in another company and I remember you're run in Honor Wrestling too. You're a threat because you've been WWH champion in the past and no doubt along with Cashe and another man I speak about in a minute are the favourites to win the whole thing, but we still have unfinished business that I certainly want to finish with you at some point and starts again at the rumble.”

It was getting a little closer to the real thing as the masked man starts to walk into the graveyard, but stands in the middle of the place which the rain gets a little lighter mainly due to the man being under a tree.

??: “We've had a lot of history Chris Matthews, especially I know how much this rumble means to you. I get that, I really do as it's one of the reasons why everyone should respect how much you requested to make the Royal Rumble as a Ryan Reigns memorial rumble. After what happened in October, I fully understand what it means to have a friend to die from cancer.

Of course my situation is very different as someone who died in October was a lot closer than a friend, even brought one of my family members closer together so yes, I know how much you wanted to win last year, heck you lasted what forty five minutes in the rumble and I hope I can last that long too, but maybe longer as I've always respected you as a wrestler and respected what you've done in WWH, always dedicating matches to Ryan Reigns every single time.”

He paused for a bit and looks at the sky, holding something back, but wasn't going to unveil himself just yet as he had a bit more to say while walking towards the grave he wanted to be at, but stops third gave along to where he wants to go.

??: “There's no doubt there's gonna be a lot of shocking eliminations this year. Last year, John Blade who I forgot to mention earlier eliminated Travis Levitt, the guy who pinned Randy in a non title match while Randy Fields was WWH champion. It's the most shocking elimination the rumble ever had and I remember it very well when I was watching in the back and I saw a lot of shocked eyes from all the wrestlers in the back like myself as well.

A lot of people hate John Blade and I can understand that because of how he demands a lot of the time for title shots, but you can't question his heart and passion for the sport. No because a lot of people mistaken him for being a threat last year, even myself. It's amazing how many people forgot that spotlight moment Blade had. How do I remember? Why is the memorial rumble gonna mean more to this guy than last year? That's what I'm gonna unveil to you all right now.”

The man moved along to the grave he wanted to be at as he places two pictures of men down right next to each other as the man takes his black mask off and everyone now knows exactly who the guy behind the mask was as he smiles, fooling everyone even Chris Matthews himself, signifying the grave of Jens Raab which means one thing, the known man is known to the world as he speaks after looking towards the camera.

Konrad Raab: “Surprise, it's me the one and only Konrad Raab. I would never ever miss this chance to face my rumble opponents in front of my home fans, especially not where I lived all of my life. I was born right here in Koln and the reason why I mean what I said to Chris Matthews earlier is because this grave here is my father Jens Raab. In October, he sadly passed away from lung cancer he'd been battling for a matter of weeks before it quickly took his life.

So now you know why this memorial rumble means more to me more than the last two years because I want to do well for both Ryan Reigns and my father, wrestling for their memory of two great men who meant a lot for me and Chris. It's the exact reason why I'm here because I have a memory to forfill on dedicating to two great men who meant a lot to me and honour them in a great way just like Chris Matthews will. Jens Raab doesn't mean anything to anyone cos he wasn't well known, but I was very close to my father and I miss both Ryan Reigns and my father every single day.”

Konrad took the time to kiss his father's grave before he succumbs down to his knees, taking the time to himself to cry at his father's grave as he did manage to bring some flowers to plant in the pot since the ones the whole family planted died so he removed them and places some flowers in the pot and again, kisses the pictures of his father and Ryan Reigns before he speaks once again.

Konrad Raab: “I meant every word I said Phantom about wanting revenge still as I still can't get it out of my head on what you've done. My brother already apologised which he had to because our father's death had a massive effect on Markus to a point he's willing to help out me and his family cos of it, but you haven't attempted to say sorry to me once and I hope you'll do so this year.

I've dealt with a lot of things last year with what I did behind the scenes I never want to come across again and dealing with my unborn child and my father's deaths. Those were the hardest things I've tackled and I'm still coping with Jens's death now. I've taken part in an elimination chamber for the US title in Supreme Championship Wrestling against five other guys and I came up short just as I did against Vixen Cain in France. I came up short against Shilo Valiant for the TV title as well.”

Of course Konrad's running down history of what's happened since he left WWH and continues.

Konrad Raab: “But I also had to face Memphis Cade who wanted me to cheat on Fizz with some women, but I defeated him and no longer apart of the SCW company, but already, my year has gone off to a great start. Firstly, I'm now a grandfather as my eldest daughter Aldetruda give birth in December to a baby boy named Jens Gerald Raab along with being a dad for the last time to a baby girl named Jasmin Belle Raab and my daughter getting married to her fiance soon. All life changing for me, but the other day, I got news on twitter that I'm selected to be in the Trios tournament in a couple of weeks time in Supreme Championship Wrestling.

It's a very prestigious tournament where you're randomly chosen being in a team with two other people who you may or may not get along with them. The first team who outlasts all the other teams in the tournament wins a contract. All three members of that winning team get contracts to make you're own matches in SCW whether it's for title shots or not. My grandson and my daughter being born, my eldest daughter from my first relationship getting married and the Trios Tournament announcement means more than life itself, it really does because of course some of you get the chance to be fathers, but how many of you will get to experience being a grandfather, daughters getting married and being in Trios tournament while still active wrestlers?”

It still means a lot for him and half of those he wishes the other wrestlers get to experience all the things Konrad's got and was extremely lucky to experience those things as he speaks again.

Konrad Raab: “Not very many and I'm proud to be a father, grandfather and wrestler to have experienced these traditions or will take part in experiencing traditions like that, just like me being more proud than ever to announce I'm in the rumble, especially WWH decided to place the rumble in my home town of Koln.

It means a lot more than wrestling anywhere else in the world and other places in Germany because this is where I'm from and I really hope all of you enjoy spending time here in Koln like visiting the cathedral where it's one of the biggest in the world, you got the zoo, you got love lockets to place on the bridge, hell you can even see what I did before I became a wrestler in this city. So I lied on saying I wasn't apart of the rumble, but it's a nice lie to give everyone a surprise to know I'm the unknown entry in this rumble. I never break my promises to anybody, especially not to a great man like Chris Matthews that if Ryan Reigns memorial rumble is taking place anywhere, I'd wrestle in it each and every year, more so now my father died of cancer too.”

Of course it hurt Konrad inside, but he focuses on the rumble completely now and speaks while looking at the grave intensely, still tears splashing on Jens Raab's grave which stated 23rd April 1949 to 9th October 2016. He stays silent for a bit before speaking again.

Konrad Raab: “Until now, only my family knew about me being in the rumble, not even my trainer, nor my wife knew about my entry in the rumble, but my German family will be there along with some of my friends, including the guy who's holding the camera right now sitting in the front row, watching me wrestle against the top twenty nine wrestlers in the world to take part a very honoured tradition of what I now call the Ryan Reigns and Jens Raab memorial rumble.

I remember in TWE me and Randy Fields were the first ever winners of the Ryan Reigns memorial cup in a tag team match which lead to last year with the WWH memorial rumble where only Nick Sanderson outlasted me in the rumble so you could say I'm a heavy favourite, but I know things are going to be completely different this year as there's a lot of new names I don't know and that's not a bad thing because every wrestler in the rumble, I respect and know all of you will do you're best in the match.”

As always, even in a tearful moment, Konrad's always honest with his words on everything he said regarding the match and the history of the wrestlers he's encountered or interacted with as he's full of energy, looking forward to the rumble match, but of course at the same time, he was wanting to finish on a good note as he picks himself up, wiping the tears off his face and speaks once more.

Konrad Raab: “But I really want to win the rumble because I've gained a huge amount of boost of confidence on making Ryan Reigns and especially my father proud, watching above me with everything I'm gonna do in the rumble and win myself a chance to face either Kat Jones or Alex Jones at mania in three months time which this year, I will gladly accept because my father would wanted me to in his honour and Ryan Reigns of course, but also none of you will have everyone screaming their heads off because of me the home town hero compete in his home city.

I got something very special for you fans tomorrow night in Koln, an entrance you've never seen before because this event means a heck a lot to me. Tomorrow night, I will be the last person standing in the Royal Rumble and go on to Mania to face the WWH champion and win the title because I want to make my dad and Ryan Reigns proud so bad that I have the will to go all the way and win it, regardless of what I've done last year and regardless of what odds I have stacked up against me.”

Konrad has a drink of water that his friend gave him before speaking for the last time.

Konrad Raab: “Because I'm not gonna walk away ashamed of myself, that's for damn sure because I have other goals on my list to do and even if I'm in for two minutes, I still at least achieved a long term goal of wrestling in Koln. The world is gonna be frozen over to The Iceman who gladly accepts the challenge of being here to win against very highly competitive wrestlers who are here to do the exact same thing, but they don't have as much heart as me and Chris Matthews do, but more me cos of my father's death as well. I will say this last bit in German. Bereiten Sie sich darauf vor, von dem deutschen Helden iceinated zu werden.”

His friend stopped filming Konrad as he once more kisses his father's grave before he spends a few hours before getting up from the muddy ground and goes straight to the gym to do a few hours work before heading back to his apartment to take his medication before he goes straight off to sleep to dream of winning the Royal Rumble in front of his home fans in Koln, Germany.

NOTES; Surprise, of course it's me Fizz or people know me as Raab. I wanted to surprise you all as this and the Trios Tournament are the biggest matches for me with this character this year and I'm so excited to see the results for the rumble and I really hope I told a good story as to why it's not only a surprise, but also with my story as well. I was sick of giving things away and all of you in WWH deserve this surprise of Konrad returning and more so, the fact it was in his hometown too just could not get me out of it. I'm ecstatic because I see so many people putting everything into this rumble which is amazing. I know Cashe, you don't like off camera scenes, but the only reason why I did was because it's apart of CD off camera that nobody would be able to see with a few hidden treasures in there. I wish everyone the best of luck with this match and let the best RPer win.
