SCW World title match against Fenris, Jones and Levitt

[Jake Raab]

Needing to change things up with the surname. Huntington Beach, California. Wednesday 27th February.

It's one of the days where the pressure of having the surname got to Jake, even if some of his apartment has holes in with punching with his right hand to the walls. His acting coach told Jake to head home after a bad day of trying not to feel pressure but does as he screams this out.

Jake Raab: “I'm sick of being treated like fucking shit. I have to get rid of my last name cos the pressure is killing me.”

Jake completely lost it as he then goes on the floor on his knees, having a breakdown because of the last name of Konrad and Markus being the successful ones. Suddenly while he was on the living room floor in tears dripping down from his cheek, the doorbell rang, and Jake stood up on both of his feet and came towards the door. When Jake opens the door, it was one of the trainers in SCW and Jake allows the SCW trainer in before closing the door behind him.

The trainer noticed holes in the walls and sees Jake had some tears dripping down to the floor and the trainer from SCW sits on Jake's sofa as Jake manages to scream before sitting down next to the trainer and he says this.

SCW trainer: “So I'm aware of the fact you want to live up to Konrad and Markus legacy, right?”

Jake Raab: “Not anymore. I am sick and tired proving to these people I'm as good as them, but I'm not. I want some fucking help.”

SCW trainer: “I also think you could benefit me with adjusting your wrestling skills as well. What your doing is fine, but if you want to stand out, be yourself.”

Jake Raab: “That's what I want to do is stand out from Konrad and Markus.”

The trainer from SCW hasn't mentioned his name yet but seemed to know Jake very well from what he has seen in the wrestling ring. He saw Jake needed help, but the trainer hasn't forgotten one little thing Jake did in a segment recently, and he says this.

SCW Trainer: “You like Arrow?”

Jake Raab: “Yes. I want to hold the bow and arrow, but I haven't been able to use the character more because of my shoulder.”

SCW Trainer: “How's your shoulder doing?”

Jake Raab: “Said it's on the way of being fully recovered now. I want to do more arrow stuff on SCW shows. If I didn't have a busted shoulder, I would've appeared on TV more.”

SCW Trainer: “I think that's what you should do. Be the German guy who acts like Oliver Queen, but using a bow and arrow to your targets with the archery instead of people. You're acting coach has done well to help you develop the character you want to be.”

Jake nods as he was gasping for a drink and he asks the trainer.

Jake Raab: “You want a drink?”

SCW Trainer: “I have a coke please.”

Jake Raab: “What's your name, sorry?”

SCW Trainer: “Sorry for being rude. I'm Justin Mountain.

Jake now knows the trainer's name and was glad to give it to him as Justin's very tall and a big guy. Jake goes to the kitchen and gets the bottle of diet coke out of the fridge. Jake pours himself and Justin Mountain coke before putting the lid on and placing diet coke back in the refrigerator. Jake brings the glasses of diet coke to the coffee table.

Justin Mountain: “Thank you.

Jake nods as he takes a seat, wondering what Justin wanted out of this experience. Jake was curious about how he knew about Jake's acting school classes, and he asks a question.

Jake Raab: “So how do you know I do acting classes?”

Justin Mountain: “You're acting coach told me.”

Jake Raab: “He has helped me so much getting into my character. So when are we starting to go to the gym together?”

Justin Mountain: “Considering of your shoulder injury and the title match as well, we'll start two weeks to get you to improve on your wrestling and also finding your last name to be used in wrestling. Nobody can take your surname away, but wrestling is different. You'll have to find what your wrestling last name is.”

Jake seems to understand Justin on a lot of things, and it was to help him get stuff sorted with his pressure problem he faces a lot. Justin who was going to start promoting the best he could for Jake along with getting used to him on being Jake's trainer, as well as Justin, took a sip of his coke

Jake Raab: “I'm facing against Fenris, Travis and Alex for the title and do you think my shoulder should hang on in the match?”

Justin Mountain: “That I can't say because I don't know, although you should be glad it's not a cage match of some form. After all, you were put in the match because of you being a former Honor champion.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah and I don't really like being handed title matches at all whatsoever. However, they must've given to me because I was the honour champion like you stated.”

Justin Mountain: “Well, I have to go, got some friends to meet up in LA in two hours. I'll see you sometime next week to get things started to change some things around with your wrestling moves and the last name change.”

Justin gets up and shakes Jake's hand before they walk towards Jake's front door, and Jake opens it to let him out as he closes the door before Justin leaves, while Jake goes to watch Venom movie he recently brought as after the film finishes, he goes upstairs and sets up his own camera to promote the match.

My quest to win the SCW title. Jake's camera (On camera)

“It's about time for the showdown of the four titans going at it with Griffin Hawkins being the special guest referee for the match. I've been looking forward to this match for many weeks now, and I'm excited to face Travis Levitt who's the only wrestler in this match I know very little about compared to the other two big dogs.

Fact is that I know Alex Jones has a lot to say about me because of me winning the title from Austin and I don't understand why he didn't whine about the loss he had against Fenris, but yet cried about losing to me? A loss is a loss man, deal with it. I also know you'll stick up for the things I said about Todd Williams. I wasn't wrong when he lacked dedication to SCW when the only time he's showed up to wrestle was against me. He gave up and didn't have any will to compete to want to win an SCW title.

Sorry if you moan and bitch about something like that because you didn't see he didn't show up to face Dimitri for an SCW title opportunity. At least I'm here every single time I've been booked, even with a busted shoulder still from a brutal and blooded battle from Fenris. Fact is you can call me every name under the sun, but I will do anything to overcome you because you and Austin are still stuck like on the stuff I've done in the past. Have I bitched and moaned about anything since that time? No, I haven't so get within the times, Alex.

Fenris, I don't know what to say, to be honest. I did trash on you poorly, but that was because I didn't believe the hype of you being champion. Fact is I respect you enough to know that I understood the hype of you after that match and you earned my respect. I also aware you've received mine also. I did fuck you up good as you did with me. However, you have three hungry individuals who are ready for you, and it's going to take a lot of effort and hard work for you to retain the title. No hate this time around, regardless if you do with me.

Travis is unknown to me mainly because we have never crossed paths until now. You have worked your way the quickest, and that's cos you are an excellent wrestler who's primed to do big things in the SCW title division. That you are talented, but you are still an unknown factor that could clinch the title if me, Alex and Fenris overlook you. You are getting attention the right way, the way I should've done to be completely honest with you.

But if there's one thing you have against us in all of this is you have another match on the supershow. You'd already be worn out from the mixed tag title match you'd have with others, and that could play a huge factor in the match from you being too tired to put out your best against me, Alex and Fenris.

Because I deserve this opportunity to win the SCW title just as much as the three of you do. Just as much as Fenris deserves his title reign and I will bust my ass, giving each one of you everything I have to defeat you all because I am going to be a champion for this company. It will be down to me learning a lot of things since I've been here and I'm going to continue to learn. More on this next week.”

Back to acting school. Huntington Beach, California. Monday 4th March (Off camera)

Despite still trying to recover from his shoulder injury, he was allowed to come back to acting school and continue where he left off, although most of the time, Edgar had to demonstrate the character Jake wanted to be, be a guy being looked at as an arrow target. It seemed like Edgar had a few ideas regarding Jake's portrayal of who he wants to be, even the nickname known as The Target.

Which was the first time he's got a nickname to himself because, in his small wrestling run career in the past, he was just called Jake without the use of nicknames? He was known as the eagle in MMA world but knew it wouldn't have worked in wrestling, knowing he wasn't that much of a high flyer to be labelled that.

When the class finished, people who were in the same group as Jake got a ton of respect from them due to his fighting nature of dealing with a sore shoulder and still being committed to being a wrestler in the ring with the character he may have picked for himself, but the nickname wasn't. He discusses this with Edgar who hadn't seen Jake in a few weeks while in the acting school hall after everyone went home.

Jake Raab: “The target?”

Edgar Davies: “I think it suits you. After all, you want to use arrows as a target to aim for the bullseye, right?”

Jake Raab: “To be honest, in the early run of my SCW career, everyone wanted to shut me up as I was a moaning fucking cunt back then.”

Edgar Davies: “Not anymore. You've grown and matured since then. You learnt from your mistakes and not repeat them. I can see you getting a bit more comfortable being this arrow character now, but the nickname of The Target? It's what I've thought about since you've been away, resting.”

Jake Raab: “I'm about to get more help from an SCW trainer sometime this week to make myself different from my cousins, in terms of my wrestling moves. I liked to call myself fire so what about The fiery target?”

Although it was Jake who now had ideas to be this character who is shy to talk to others backstage, but is comfortable backstage, firing arrows at the archery posts and picture target of his opponents. Even if Jake recently signed up to archery school to practice with his targets on the boards. Edgar nods, liking Jake's nickname.

Edgar Davies: “The fiery target? That sounds better actually, considering you are full of fire when you're on your game to punish people, and you're aimed as a target in SCW as of late, so it works well.”

Jake Raab: “If only I'm able to somehow come down to the ring with bows and arrows on my shoulder, that would be great. Not sure if SCW will allow me to do something like that for an entrance. I like to think that's something possible that can happen. I don't make the calls regarding that.”

Edgar Davies: “I can't see why not. After all, a wrestler has come down in ridiculous entrances, and they were fine. I did talk to Justin and told me what went down between the two of you, how you were frustrated about using the Raab name as extra pressure of you doing well.”

That hit Jake right on the button when he places his head down when Edgar found out why Jake's been pissed off before the injury Jake suffered. Jake says this.

Jake Raab: “It's true.”

Edgar Davies: “Sometimes in life, everyone needs help with wanting to change things around. Problem with that is what I said to you at the beginning of the course; you need to find your identity of the guy you will be. Maybe the way to do it is to find someone to go out with, get to know them and get married. Men can have their name changed if they want to.”

Jake Raab: “It's more for wrestling I'm looking for the surname change. I can't think of any surnames at the moment. I'm sure I'll get it figured out sooner than later.”

Edgar Davies: “Right now, it's getting the feeling for this fiery target nickname you'll forever cherish and ready to use in SCW. Does firing arrows make you feel better?”

It was a bold question from Edgar that if he enjoys firing arrows at archery targets or it's because of the Arrow film that makes Jake the way he is as he takes a long think at the question before he responds to this.

Jake Raab: “I think I enjoy doing archery, after all, I've signed myself up to do archery shooting sessions with the archery club every weekend, well not Sunday's obviously, but I'm beginning to enjoy firing arrows more than I thought. It makes me who I am and what will stand me out from the others.”

Edgar Davies: “That's the main thing to be comfortable, and I think you joining the weekend archery club is a great idea to get a bit more feeling for the character. I hope I can come to see you do archery in your wrestling clothes and be a master of archery.”

Jake Raab: “It will also help me get friends too. It seems to always be an issue with us Raab's, well apart from Konrad who's able to make friends easily, it seems to be difficult for me. Markus is because of his past, and I don't know why with me.”

Edgar Davies: “Not only you're new in town, but maybe it comes down to you being shy, and that's a must for you along with improving on your skills to grow not just as a wrestler and a character, but for yourself as well. I better go, my wife, is expecting me home soon. You deserve a rest before the big match you have. I'll see you soon.”

Jake nods as Edgar places the toy bow and arrow in Jake's rucksack before Jake heads his way back to his apartment to have a rest at least for a whole day. A few moments later, he got a phone call from Justin to tell him that after his acting lessons tomorrow, he was going to start gym training as Jake says out loud to himself.

Jake Raab: “Thank fuck for that. Sick of being home all day, doing no training whatsoever, especially for a big match for Fenris's title. Anyway, at least I get the opportunity tomorrow.”

As he texts Justin back about he accepting the deal and then Jake heads off straight to bed to get all the sleep Jake needs before both acting school and gym work Jake does on the same day tomorrow, having an early day to head straight to his acting lessons with the toy bow and arrow he had.

Discussing Jake's weaknesses and how to improve them. Huntington Beach, California. Tuesday 5th March. (Off camera)

Four hours after Jake walked in the gym and started working out, the clear signs were there that Jake's still struggling with his shoulder injuries when it comes to working out in the gym. You see Jake wincing in pain a bit when he has to work on his shoulder. He also did some wrestling as well, seeing how he does with throwing opponents. The good sign was it's nearly healed from the damage Fenris done to Jake's shoulder. The hand problem was no longer a problem for Jake as that healed rapidly.

The shoulder was taking its time, but Justin already wrote down what Jake's weaknesses were when it came to wrestling as Jake's currently punching the bag at the moment. Seemed like a typical Raab trait to continue training, regardless if they wore themselves or not as Justin says this.

Justin Mountain: “You need to have a break from working out in the gym as I don't want you to push too hard for victories.”

Jake Raab: “But I want to win the SCW title badly.”

Justin Mountain: “You also risk of having another injury to your body, even the other shoulder, popping out of its place.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, you're right. The last thing I want to do is have another shoulder injury and having to place that back together.”

Jake was forced to stop, but it was for a good reason as he would punish and hurt his body if he continued so he stopped, and Jake walked over to the bench, discussing with Edgar where he was going wrong with his wrestling as of late as Edgar says this.

Justin Mountain: “Taking aside from your shoulder injury, you seem to need work on lifting wrestlers more than a short time.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I don't feel like I'm in that strong area either, much like the Cruiserweight wrestlers. However, Alex already has talked so much shit towards me. He won't shut the fuck up.”

Justin Mountain: “Take no notice of what's going on and focus on you. I can't comment on the SCW wrestlers. Your strength isn't as good as I thought. Even if your shoulder was fully recovered, your strength would wear out on you. You're speedy and quick.”

Jake Raab: “I have thought about gaining a few pounds so I won't feel the impact as much, but not completely overweight though. What else can I work on?”

Justin knew from that point on; he was expected to be asked questions from his training buddy who needed help. Justin saw more spots on Jake's wrestling he needs to address as he says this also about Jake.

Justin Mountain: “You need to jump from the turnbuckle to the match and other things you can fly on. Other than that, you're good to go. I even say you're closer to being one hundred per cent because your shoulder seems to be moving fine.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I begin to feel better. The pain is still there at times, but I don't think about it when I'm training for the biggest match of my life and being apart of the match as well. I fucked Fenris up good.”

Justin Mountain: “While he fucked you good with the shoulder and hand injuries.”

Jake Raab: “I can admit, Alex is starting to annoy me with the crap he said about me. I'm going out there to do anything it takes to win the title, even if it means fucking up Fenris again along with Travis and especially Alex who deserves a beating on Sunday night.”

Justin wondered about what Jake said the other day as Justin reminds Jake about it.

Justin Mountain: “Still want to change your last name in wrestling?”

Jake Raab: “Edgar called me the fiery target as I love to target and line up my arrows to the target and thought it'd go well with what I'm portraying as.”

Justin Mountain: “I think that's a good nickname for you. So you see, you can find your identity without my help already.

Jake Raab: “Actually, it was Edgar's idea of a wrestling nickname. With a name like Edgar, you can even use it as a last name which is something I'm serious of doing. Anyway, thanks for all the help and guidance today. I have to rest as I'm exhausted and want to watch more of arrow series to get the feeling for the character I want to be.”

Justin Mountain: “I am glad, and I agree, you do need to watch it. I'll see you around, and I will be back to help you learn where you are going wrong in wrestling. Save talking about your opponents later.”

Jake nodded as he agreed that it was best to save the trash talking parts to him for the night as Jake's been in and out of a gym a lot lately to get himself the best he could to beat a champion and two other new names, although one of them was aligned with Austin. He works on weights for a bit until he heads himself back home.

------------------------------------------------

The title is coming to me this time. Jake's camera (On camera)

“This time around, my oh my the tables have indeed turned with Alex Jones being nothing more than a god damn hypocrite. Tells me I'm whining and moaning, yet that's all you've done since the match was announced. Do you honestly think beating Joshua Acquin makes you deserving of a title match? If I won a title contenders match by beating Joshua Acquin, I'd laugh at myself because it takes no effort to beat Joshua in the ring, despite nearly everyone in SCW has beaten him before, like myself.

I didn't mention Caleb because I never met him in the ring to know about him. If you wanted to earn it against wrestlers like Ty and Ben Jordan for an example, you would've said to the management, you deserve better opponents than Joshua, but you didn't. Pot meet kettle buddy.

In case you haven't noticed, I pushed Fenris to his limits and you see, he respects me in the ring because he had to work for it. I had to bust Fenris open to show him exactly what MMA fighters were born and bred to do. Just watch that match and then tell me if I deserve it or not. Like you haven't asked and demanded like a bitch for title shots in your entire career. You're just full of your hype because of your past title reigns which are irrelevant to this company.

Sure, you're a great wrestler, I won't deny the fact you are a threat, but I also speak with facts as well. You don't hear me mentioning my Honor title win every single time I talk on camera. It's beating a dead horse at that point.

If you think I wasn't going to shit on Todd because of his lack of effort, you're fucking stupid. Not my fault if you refuse to see the lack of passion with Todd when he'd meant to be facing against Dimitri for an SCW title opportunity and the fact he didn't show up for the SCW title opportunity where many wrestlers would kill for a chance like that makes me sick.

I can't say very much about Travis because he's been so quiet. Of course, I view him as a threat because he's the one who had to go through the toughest wrestlers he's had to face in a tough match Austin and Lachlan Kane. That guy is the one who deserves to be in this match. I'm not underrating him or anything cos he is the black horse in this match, and the quiet ones are usually the most dangerous wrestlers. I leave it there cos there's nothing bad to say about the dude.

Fenris well, I knew he'd point out the part of me neglecting the point of injuring me. I know I've spoken more about how fucked I've been than me fucking you up. You know exactly how much I've had to bust my ass to get to this title match through god damn injury. You know how much we put our bodies on the line to do anything possible to make it as brutal as it did.

Fenris I respect the hell out of you because you deserve the effort you've put into this sport and maybe, you've learned now I've changed, and I'm no longer moaning and bitching at you or the company. I admitted I was wrong on the things I've said. I'm glad you want to face me again because you can expect the same thing when we let loose on each other, fucking one another up big time and bust each other open.

Now here I go by saying despite my busted shoulder that's honestly nearly one hundred per cent now. I'm a fighter that never stops, regardless of my injuries because I'm not a coward and I prefer to push on to the top because this fiery target is targetting the belt with me firing all arrows in the ring to do anything possible to win the match. I will shoot arrows in the arena non-stop until I capture the title. I will pin one of you for the three count or by submission and walk away from Blaze of Glory in Anaheim, California as your new SCW champion. See you guys out there and may the best man win.”
