Rebellion Pro segments (Konrad Raab)

[Konrad Raab]

After his tough match against Ethan Williams, he requests to go on camera with a microphone as he wants to update everyone what's going on with him and what his goals are since he doesn't have a twitter account anymore. He knows it's something he desperately needs to do on top of him not just wrestling in the ring and being silent until next week. He's got the microphone in his hands and starts to talk.

Konrad Raab: "I know a lot of you have been wondering what I've been up to so I will give you updates about me. You heard about me back in June of getting some help with myself mentally by being on a mental training course. For two weeks, even the matches I had during my course, I was working on not letting things get to me, including comments I get on twitter, although I decided to delete twitter altogether because of me being too busy with it now, wanting to focus on my family and the losses I got. Well now, I'm a lot more confident and got a lot more self-esteem in myself to the point that recently, I won a title in a company I've been with for two years. It was because of my growth of improvement that got me there."

It certainly seems like Konrad is smiling a lot more than he did back in May and June time as he's showing how happy he is as a person now and he continues.

Konrad Raab: "Each time I wrestle, I learn from my results, and if I lose matches, I learn from them and get better every time. No longer do I care for your negative words you'll say to me or have any effect on me and I certainly no longer let my results affect me in the ring because it was holding me back a lot to be successful in the ring. I'm glad Rebellion Pro is back because I had a lot of unfinished business and one of them was to prove to each one of you wrestlers and the fans how much I've changed my approach to matches mentally."

Konrad didn't care for the comments he may get out of this because of updating the Rebellion Pro locker room of this big change of how he wrestles and approaches all of his matches in Rebellion Pro Wrestling as he continues to talk.

Konrad Raab: "Another unfinished business I had was evolving myself to be a Junior Heavyweight wrestler, although the belt isn't around this company anymore, doesn't mean it's taken away from me as there's a title similar to it, Dragonweight title. Ever since the belt was introduced recently on Rebellion Pro, I always wanted an opportunity to prove myself with my high flying skills and gain experience from being in a ladder match which I did in a company I recently left. I want to put myself out there saying to Richard I would like to have an opportunity to go for the Dragonweight title."

He's never felt any confidence to even request a title opportunity in his life to show how badly Konrad wants to prove to everyone how he's changed and he continues.

Konrad Raab: "I feel I'm ready for the opportunity because I believe I can defeat anyone you put against me with the high flying skills I've evolved myself to doing quite a bit now and I also believe I can, and I will defeat Luna Baby for the belt."

Konrad says his last few words before Rebellion Pro show can continue.

Konrad Raab: "I'm a whole new man and a new wrestler that's ready for the challenge where I've only had one ladder match in my entire career and succeed in winning the belt, overcoming odds I will have stacked against me and be the Dragonweight champion. Luna Baby, I'm coming for your Dragonweight title to take the belt away by capturing it from the ladder and be the new Dragonweight champion. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Iceman."

Konrad drops the microphone, showing how serious he is on camera with the hunger desire to prove everyone wrong that a former heavyweight can evolve and be a Dragonweight champion before he walks back to the locker room with the cameras going elsewhere backstage to continue with the show.

Straight before the match itself, the cameras located Konrad in his locker room, doing his last few stretches before the big match itself, the biggest one of his wrestling career, the Dragonweight title. Before he goes out, he notices the camera crew waiting for Konrad to speak as they hand him the microphone and he speaks to the fans.

Konrad Raab: "This is it, the time where this former heavyweight wrestler to make history of being one of the first wrestlers ever to make a successful transition to being a Junior Heavyweight wrestler. I'm expected to talk about the incident that happened on the forty-fourth show of Rebellion Pro and that's exactly what I'm going to talk about. You see Luna, I know you and Chester attacked me because you thought I was making a mistake of asking for an opportunity to go for the Dragonweight title, trying to send me a message."

Konrad smirks, not being too bothered by it, although there's a reason for it.

Konrad Raab: "You officially made a very big mistake Luna because what you've done is giving me another reason why I want to win the Dragonweight title so badly. I know in terms of ladder matches, I'm the underdog in this match, considering I've only had one ladder match in my wrestling career, but it won't stop me from doing anything to capture that Dragonweight title because truth been told, you needed to defend the title sooner. That attack you did won't stop me from beating you in the ring and take one of the titles away from Three-Ring Barney."

Konrad looks well in shape for the match as he's known to work out non stop for the match as he speaks again.

Konrad Raab: "You might be champion now, but when the match ends, you aren't going to leave this arena with the Dragonweight title around your waist. I've been busting my ass day in and out in the gym ever since Sunday to be completely ready for this match and to beat you because I'm confident more than ever to know I can be breaking records of not only being the first few Junior Heavyweight wrestlers to transition from being a heavyweight wrestler, but the oldest Dragonweight champion the world's ever seen. I hope you're ready for the ice bite aggression I'll let out on you Luna because nobody, not even your pack of dogs are going to stop me from climbing up that ladder and capture the Dragonweight title. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Iceman."

Konrad turns away to put on his hoodie coat before he leaves his locker room and stands behind the curtain, waiting to be called out to the ring before the match starts between him and Luna Baby for the Dragonweight title.

The cameras go backstage as you see the glimpse of Konrad's face speaks it all with how gutted he was about the loss against Luna Baby for the Dragonweight title last week. However, there was an announcement of Konrad picked as one of the five names chosen to be in the Dragonweight title, and he says this.

Konrad Raab: "I can't say much other than being very gutted on me losing last week. Did it hurt? A lot because I wanted to make history and prove everyone wrong that a fifty-two-year-old man can evolve his wrestling style and be the Dragonweight champion. When I look at the result, it spoke volumes how despite it being a No DQ match, as close as I was on winning the Dragonweight title, Luna used glitter mist in my eyes to win. It shows how much Luna struggled to get me down with pure skill. She knew she couldn't win without blowing glitter in my eyes so she'd retain the title."

Shaking his head once again was Konrad as he continues talking about last week.

Konrad Raab: "Despite the loss, I would've said if I didn't get another shot of the Dragonweight title, I will do anything it takes to capture the Dragonweight title, and I refuse to move on until I capture it. I don't give up easily as I used to in the past. I will fight like my life is on the line to capture that belt because Luna, I'm still coming for it."

Cheers from the crowd as Konrad took a sip of his water before speaking again.

Konrad Raab: "Oh, that doesn't mean I've not forgotten the other contenders for the Dragonweight title besides me. I respect the fact Richard wants to place three new young stars in the match of Bethany Ryan, Brent Koleman and Harley Reddick who I'm sure are as hungry as me to go to win the Dragonweight title. Always good to have fresh blood in the match and I'm excited what the three of you can do both on Volume fifty and the upcoming matches you'll have here in Rebellion Pro. I also haven't forgotten my rival I've had matches against these last few weeks on Ethan Willams who's a former European champion. He will come at all of us very hard, and Luna may attempt to take advantage out of all of us."

Konrad smiles, trying to acknowledge everyone he's going to face on Volume fifty show since it's the only way he can connect with his opponents.

Konrad Raab: "However, as much hunger as you five have against me, I will be pushing that much more to win the Dragonweight title because I know evolving my wrestling style is the right move I made last year and I'm sticking with it. I had to cut weight most of last year to belong in this high flying division as I'm not afraid of ladder matches anymore like I was. Things are changing for The Iceman, and Luna especially won't take advantage of me again. Luna, Bethany, Brent, Harley and Ethan will do anything to stop me, but your best won't be good enough."

Konrad takes a deep breath, wearing himself out from talking due to his passion of wanting to get better and better in the ring with the Junior Heavyweight style of wrestling as he takes a drink of water once again and speaks for the last time.

Konrad Raab: "You five also have a lot of years ahead of you in wrestling, I don't and I don't plan on giving up until I know I can't wrestle anymore. You'll find out on Volume fifty how much I'll do to be the Dragonweight champion, being part of the history-making event it will have for the division, along with dishing out revenge on Luna Baby for everything she did in the title match last week. I treat all five of you as a threat, and you all deserve a shot of Luna for the Dragonweight title, but I will climb up the ladder to grab the Dragonweight title and walk away from Volume 50 with the Dragonweight title around my waist. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Iceman."

Konrad walks off and goes to his locker room to watch the remaining matches on the show as the camera goes to ringside for the next match to take place on Volume forty-seven.

The cameras go backstage with Konrad standing outside of his locker room, looking more than ready to take on against five other wrestlers. Konrad's excited on the possibility of making his dreams come true on him winning the Dragonweight title. He couldn't contain his excitement and begins to speak.

Konrad Raab: "Wow, how things changed from all of us preparing to face Luna Baby for the belt. Now it's a new champion of Mimi Smith. Let me be the first to say on camera, congratulations on defeating Luna to be the new Dragonweight champion. I know you'll defend the title with pride and honour. It's amazing how far you've come to capture the Dragonweight title, to overcome Luna's tactics of cheating her way to win which is something I've failed in the past. A lot of times, the Dragonweight title was ignored because of Luna Baby, not having any commitment to defending the belt."

It's until Konrad challenged Luna for the Dragonweight title that it got attention suddenly and he still smiles, but at the same time, looking so focused on the task ahead and he says this.

Konrad Raab: "I also know that Mimi watched the five-way Dragonweight showcase match between me, Ethan Williams, Bethany Ryan, Brent Koleman, and Harley Reddick as well to see what we are all about and how far we'll push ourselves to the title. I know everyone is going to view you and me as targets as I overcame all five of them, being the victor because I'm evolving and learning every single week of being comfortable and gaining more experience with ladder matches. Nothing will stop me from chasing my dreams. As much as Ethan, Bethany, Brent and Harley are willing to do anything to win and Mimi retaining her title, it's not going to happen because I've been busting my ass week in and out of a gym to be ready for the match."

Konrad is satisfied with the things he's saying for the match, and he continues to speak once more before walking towards the ring area.

Konrad Raab: "Because despite my age, I can and will prove people wrong tonight when I'll walk away from Rebellion Pro Fifty as your new Dragonweight champion because I always wanted to be the Dragonweight champion ever since Rebellion Pro came back and I'm not giving up until I've won the belt. Watch out for me Mimi Smith along with Ethan, Bethany, Brent and Harley because all of you will witness the new era of The Iceman as you'll prepare yourselves to be Iceinated by your new Dragonweight champion."

Konrad then leaves the locker room with the coat on as he walks straight towards the entrance and waits for his name to be called to the ring as the cameras go back at ringside as the first wrestler approaches the ring.
