Where The Iceman nickname came from. (Konrad at five years old.) Cologne, Germany. December 1971. (Off Camera)
Konrad’s parents have been very concerned about their five-year-old son not going out to play with anybody around the area. Of course, they see their other son Markus hanging around with children outside, even being the biggest bully in school, but Konrad’s the complete opposite as he never fit in with the other kids at school, feeling like he was an oddball. Although he had the same interests as his twin brother, he didn’t really seem to engage or interact with anybody which was a concern as both parents of Ingrid and Jens Raab talking downstairs while Konrad was upstairs, playing with toy cars on the floor.
Jens Raab: “I think one of us needs to talk to him.”
Ingrid Raab: “I agree.”
Jens Raab: “I think he needs some encouragement of interacting and playing with children, yet Konrad just wants to be in his room all day.”
Ingrid Raab: “I’m not sure if he’s being like this because my father was shy or it’s because it’s simply him not knowing how to make friends or talk to other children.”
Jens Raab: “That’s what I’m going to find out since Markus is fine on talking to other kids, although he acts like a tough guy, that’s how I was at school as well. I go upstairs and encourage him to play with other children outside.”
Ingrid nods as Jens went upstairs with him hearing Konrad make car noises while playing with cars he got for his birthday a couple of months ago and it seemed like it’s all he wanted to do, apart from supporting FC Koln football team that is as Jens knocks on the door, but Konrad ignores it and Jens lets himself in any way, seeing how Konrad barely even spoke other than when he’s told to by other adults as he waits for Konrad to notice, but he didn’t as he picks up one of the red cars and that’s when Konrad notices his dad and says this.
Konrad Raab: “Give me my car back.”
Jens Raab: “Son, we need to have a talk about this.”
Konrad Raab: “I’m fine.”
Jens Raab: “No, you’re not. Let’s sit on your bed and have a talk about something me and mummy need to talk to you about.”
Konrad clearly thought he was in trouble for making loud car noises and he says this, immediately knowing that’s the only thing he could do wrong.
Konrad Raab: “Sorry I was noisy.”
Jens Raab: “Not that at all son, please come sit with me on the bed.”
Konrad sighed as much as he loved playing with cars, it was him following his dad’s order and gets up from the floor and comes to sit next to his dad on the bed as he was already scared on his dad telling him off, but if it wasn’t him being noisy, what was the issue? Playing cars in his bedroom was what Konrad enjoyed and Jens gets right to it.
Jens Raab: “It’s about you going out to play.”
Konrad Raab: “I don’t want to go out.”
Jens Raab: “I know it’s because you’re shy and not knowing how to talk with other children, but I and mummy are very worried about you being in the house all the time and missing out doing things outside the house.”
Konrad Raab: “Like what?”
Jens Raab: “Going outdoors and playing with other children. I think it will do you good if you go outside and play with snow.”
Konrad Raab: “It’s cold daddy.”
Konrad was clearly not like the rest of the boys in his neighbourhood who were willing to go outside and play with other kids that are his age, but he barely says anything and when he does go outside, he plays by himself, being afraid to talk to other children, sometimes even afraid to talk to teachers. Ingrid comes up and sees her son shaking as she says this.
Ingrid Raab: “What daddy’s trying to say is that we’re concerned you always play with cars. He wants you to try something new like you playing with snow outside.”
Konrad Raab: “How do I play with snow.”
Jens Raab: “You’ll find out for yourself Konrad. You can’t always stay at home because you aren’t going to explore and do new things if you stay indoors all day, I think you may even like it.”
Konrad Raab: “I don’t know what to do outside. I don’t know what to say to children outside. I’m happy playing with cars.”
It clearly wasn’t working or playing into Konrad’s head as much as it was nice for Konrad to be happy, Jens and Ingrid wanted Konrad to do something new with his life, something he’s never done before. When he was younger, he barely went out as he always cried every time he went out as he was scared of seeing new things, but it clearly wasn’t something they were giving up on as Ingrid speaks.
Ingrid Raab: “I know you’re scared and it’s OK to be scared to go out and see people but times have changed and you’re at an age where it’s time to go out and interact with children. We all have to do things we don’t want to do. Jens, get Konrad’s coat, scarf, gloves, and hat.”
Jens does as it would be the only way of Konrad stepping out of the house and at least give things a try, but as soon as Ingrid puts Konrad’s cars away, Konrad cries because he wants to stay indoors and be safe around his parents. He was even scared of going to school because he always felt safe with them and that’s a major problem as he’s kicking and screaming as Ingrid calms him down with car noises.
Ingrid Raab: “It’s OK, you’ll be fine out there. We just want you to have fun, do things you’ve never done before. We are always here if you need us.”
Konrad calms down after hearing car noises from his mother Jens brings up Konrad’s coat, scarf, gloves and hat as he places them on his son before Jens holds Konrad’s hand and take him downstairs before they took him out of the house and close the doors behind him as Konrad was already at a loss what to do. He stands on the doorstep, already wanting to come in, but his parents pointed to go another direction as Konrad does. It took him a while to be motivated while five minutes later, he loved it.
He loved snow tipping down and he stood there, looking up the sky for hours, wondering where and how the snow came from. He sees other children making snowmen and starts to copy them, making a snowman of his own. It took him hours to make it, giggling away to enjoy the snow coming down and then he sees other kids playing with snowballs. He created a big snowman which gathered attraction from a kid who’s around the same age as Konrad as he says this.
5-year-old boy: “Hello. That’s a big snowman you made. Want to help me make mine as big as yours?”
It was clear from Konrad’s lack of interaction came to play big time, having nothing to say to the boy as he didn’t know what to say or do as the boy thought he was shy, knowing it was a complete stranger to him as he says this.
5-year-old boy: “I won’t hurt you. I’m Luka and I live a couple of blocks down the road. What’s your name?”
Konrad Raab: “Ummmm, I’m Konrad.”
Luka: “Well Konrad, come over here and help me build a big snowman.”
While Luka walks off to where his snowman is, Konrad stood still, knowing how shy he was, but slowly, he walks to Luka by tiny steps until he felt confident enough to want to spend time with Luka. He helps him building a large snowman body together as a team before placing rocks on the snowman’s chest before they moved towards building the snowman’s head. They also placed a hat on the snowman and some rocks on the snowman’s eyes and Luka went inside of his home which wasn’t too far from where Konrad lived to get something, leaving Konrad frightened to be alone without Luka being around him. He cried before Luka came out with a carrot to place on the nose and they were finished.
Luka: “The snowman looks great, doesn’t it?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
Luka: “I think you should come with me and meet my friends who are having a three-team snowball fight. Come on, let’s have some fun.”
Although Konrad had fun with the snow, he was very unsure about fighting. If there’s one thing he’s scared of, it’s fighting as he sees enough of it with his brother. Konrad sits on the snow, not willing to take part in the snowball fight cos he hates seeing or hearing about fighting and Luka notices Konrad wasn’t there as he comes back to him and says this.
Luka: “Scared of fighting?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
Luka: “You won’t be hurt. They are being friendly, having a laugh because it’s fun. Let’s go.”
At that point, Konrad remembered what his parents said, go to them if he needed them and when Luka reassured Konrad things will be fine, he got up from the snow and walks with Luka towards the other kids as once he gets closer, he sees the other kids laughing away as the fight was friendly, throwing snowballs at each other. Konrad didn’t feel he was going to fit in with the other children as he hasn’t said very much, but Luka was always there with Konrad as he says this.
Luka: “There are teams of three, you and I are together, but we’ll involve my friend, Brock with us.”
Brock came over towards Luka, knowing he found another boy to join in the snowball battle like in a trios style as he was bigger than Luka and Konrad and also known to look like a year older than both boys as Luka does the intro to Konrad and Brock.
Luka: “Konrad, this is my friend Brock and Brock, this is Konrad.”
Brock: “Hello.”
Konrad Raab: “Hi.”
Brock was very unsure with Konrad as he doesn’t seem like he’s like rest of the boys he’s seen with talking a lot right away, but Luka always wanted to make sure new boys and girls fit in fine as Brock says this.
Brock: “Is Konrad shy?”
Luka: “Yes, I can tell right away he is. He doesn’t know how to play and we need to help him with that.”
Brock: “I agree. Come on Konrad, throw the snowball at those three boys there.”
Konrad Raab: “No.”
Luka: “Remember what I said about having fun? That’s exactly what’s happening here. Give it a try.”
Konrad nods as he’s getting encouraged by Luka to join in with the other boys as he does as he made a ball out of the snow and throws it at one of the boys but it comes with a cost as he runs away, but once he was thrown a ball, Konrad smiled, knowing it didn’t hurt at all and he suddenly started having fun with Luka and Brock laughing on how much fun he was having, even Luka and Brock see how happy Konrad is with his potential new friends he was making, throwing snowballs at the other boys, although Konrad wasn’t good at throwing snowballs at the other boys, but he still had fun.
Brock: “Try using your eyes to target the boys to get them like this.”
Of course, Brock didn’t use this method, but he was showing Konrad how to aim as Brock closes one eye and aimed the snowball at one of the boys and he threw it as Konrad begins to copy as he makes a ball, has one eye closed before using his left arm to aim and he threw it, immediately capturing another target. Konrad kept doing this method until he gets the idea as he laughs when he gets hit.
Luka: “You having fun?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
He suddenly found something new to do every single year, finding his new found love for something that wasn’t just cars, snow and his team won the war, despite Konrad’s first ever time being in the snowball war and missing quite a bit before he was shown how to target a boy perfectly. Konrad drops on the ice and Luka and Brock bury Konrad in the snow with Konrad laughing and giggling away. It was something he enjoys a lot, even his parents saw how happy their son was outside from their window as he’d been out for six hours now. It was six at night now and Konrad was still playing as Jens walks up to Konrad and says this.
Jens Raab: “Come on in Konrad, time to eat dinner.”
Konrad Raab: “No, I still want to play with snow.”
Jens Raab: “OK, five more minutes.”
Jens goes back inside for a bit, seeing Konrad’s love for something other than being a stuck indoor child they thought they raised, his love of snow. Jens and Ingrid know something about their son today and he speaks to Ingrid while watching Konrad play.
Jens Raab: “He seems so happy, doesn’t he?”
Ingrid Raab: “Yes he does. He loves being in the snow and it’s all thanks to you for encouraging him that he’s fine without us watching him every minute.”
Jens Raab: “I think he’s made a couple of friends today and that’s a bonus for us, especially that he’ll likely come out of the house a lot more now.”
Ingrid Raab: “I agree, now let’s get Konrad back in the house.”
At that moment, Markus came home and knew he had fun playing with the other boys, but he wondered where his twin brother was and it turned out Markus saw Konrad playing in the snow as Ingrid went to get him as she sees Konrad even laying on the snow, moving his hands and legs in the snow, having so much fun, laughing away, but it ended as he was picked up by his mum and she says this.
Ingrid Raab: “Had fun today?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes, hope it snows tomorrow.”
Ingrid Raab: “High chance of that happening. I hope it does for you and glad to see you chatting to two new friends.”
Of course, this was uncertain at this point of time as he’s only just met Luka and Brock for the first time and certainly was a joy for Jens and Ingrid to see Konrad playing with the other boys and he comes in the house and the Ingrid closes the door. Konrad takes his coat, scarf, hat and gloves off and places them on a coat hanger before he comes and sits down with Markus, Jens, and Ingrid to eat dinner before Konrad goes up to his bedroom to play with cars again before he and Markus get to read a bedtime story before they go off to sleep in their separate rooms for the night before the next day.

Konrad discussing real-life situations with Amy Chastaine. Dallas, Texas. Wednesday 31st January. (Off Camera)
It was the day where Konrad needed to have a discussion with Amy not only about her concussion and what the deal went down with Blake, but also about Fizz and her well lets say health problems she has as it was very confidential he and Fizz are keeping from the world as Konrad not long just finished doing 2 hours of gym work as he went to meet Amy outside of a coffee shop and although he’s not going to get anything to drink, it was a discussion he clearly wanted to have. He sees Amy standing outside, being a little late as he says this.
Konrad Raab: “My apologies for being late. Didn’t realize the time until my temporary trainer told me to stop working out.”
Amy Chastaine: “It’s all right, let’s go in.”
Konrad nods as he straight away finds somewhere to sit due to him keeping an eye out on his weight, while he waits for Amy to get a drink. Of course, Amy knows there’s clearly something bothering him and Fizz, mostly Fizz from her reactions on twitter as of late and he had an argument all of Sunday about it. Also, he generally cared for his friend after what happened at the PPV as Amy came to sit down where Konrad was and asked him a question.
Amy Chastaine: “You aren’t getting a drink?”
Konrad Raab: “No because I’m being weighed tomorrow so got to limit how much I drink.”
Amy Chastaine: “I understand.”
Amy was concerned still about Konrad may take things too far with the weight cut he’s doing, but she certainly sees how much the weight cut has drained out Konrad from looking at his face, but he knows deep down inside, it will all be worth it as it was doing him more good than bad to be more healthy and to take risks with doing new things in the sport, but he asks Amy about her injury.
Konrad Raab: “How’s your concussion recovery going?”
Amy Chastaine: “It’s going alright. Was told by the doctor the other day I can’t get in the ring until next week, but coming to the show this week was okay. Wyatt is with me just in case anything goes wrong later tonight.”
Konrad Raab: “I can’t believe how Blake lied to everyone by saying he retired from wrestling and then he turns into a coward to attack you from behind and spiked your head with a brainbuster on the apron.”
Amy Chastaine: “That’s typical Blake for you. He’s a very different guy now compared to how I knew him before. He’s gonna get payback when I face him in the ring, if he isn’t too cowardly to do it. Don’t worry because he’ll be sorry for what fire he sparked with me.”
Konrad Raab: “I was gutted as hell when he announced he retired from wrestling because I still can’t get over what he did to Simon Lyman, offending me like he did as I got a brother in law as you know with a learning disability. That’s the sickest thing I’ve seen in my life and I wanted to get my hands on him myself.”
It was clear that although, it’s almost a year ago the incident happened, boy Konrad wanted to face Blake Mason badly and now he couldn’t because Blake retired from wrestling and he had no idea what his plans were going forward in SCW, although he wanted a rematch with AJ Helms as he always felt bad on how he gave AJ the win and he wants to lose fairly instead of running after Jason Helms.
Amy Chastaine: “Personally, I think everyone would’ve loved to see you get Blake back after what he did to Simon, especially how Samuel McPherson has a learning disability and if I knew someone who had a learning disability in my family, I’d be offended too.”
Konrad Raab: “Nobody understands me with that it seems. Seems like it’s OK to pick people in wheelchairs or they talk or in Samuel’s case, not talking at all, lack of understanding how people have to deal with things like that every day.”
Amy Chastaine: “I fully get what you’re saying, but I would suggest you move on from Blake and that day before you get yourself hurt by him.”
Konrad Raab: “I’m glad you’re OK and I’m sorry for not visiting you, feel like a shitty friend to you.”
Amy Chastaine: “No, you aren’t. You were there when I needed you for other times and like you’ve said, you’ve been busy with wrestling and that’s understandable. I appreciate you being here now to check I’m alright.”
Konrad still was angry about what Blake did to Simon, but Amy was right, Konrad had to move on and focus on the Trios tournament and in a way, focus on his opponent tonight, Aaron Blackbourne, but it wasn’t clear on either of those things, although he only found out about facing Aaron on Sunday, not his fault obviously as he’s been so busy with wrestling that he hadn’t had the chance to look. Amy clearly sees Konrad being quite down.
Amy Chastaine: “Did Fizz agree on allowing you to tell me what’s been going on with her?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes she did.”
Amy Chastaine: “I won’t lie, Fizz is really angry about something and I’m so concerned for her. Are things alright with her?”
Konrad Raab: “No they aren’t.”
Amy Chastaine: “You know I won’t tell a single soul to anybody in SCW what you tell me because I know it must be quite serious for you and Fizz to not tell the world what’s going on with Fizz.”
Konrad nodded as he knew the one and only friend besides Adrenaline Rush he can trust outside of his family to keep as a secret was Amy Chastaine. They discussed a lot of issues together, even bits the world didn’t know about and still kept private to this day, although now he fears about Bree spilling out his secret with drugs he used to take but he doesn’t worry about that for now as he gets down to the issue that’s clearly worrying him a lot.
Konrad Raab: “Right now, Fizz is having a really hard time with her pregnancy and we had news that our baby when he or she is born could potentially have psychological problems, like the voice in my head I get sometimes and overall, having mental problems. She’s tried committing suicide over it and what scared me is she’s said she wants the baby to die as well as herself.”
Amy Chastaine: “Wow, that’s a lot to handle. It’s putting a lot of strain on her and it’s never the way for Fizz to do that to herself, much less the things she says. She’s afraid right now on not being able to manage it.”
Konrad Raab: “It’s why I’m always scared of going to work now because of Fizz being in this state of wanting to kill herself and when I came home on Sunday, she nearly strangled herself to death. I managed to cut her down from the ceiling with scissors to save her just in time, but I was in tears she’d do this to herself, especially when we have kids together.”
Amy Chastaine: “She obviously needs a lot of help mentally by going to the doctor and talking about why she feels the way she does.”
Konrad Raab: “She’s going to see someone every Thursdays from now on. I don’t know if she will go and if she doesn’t, I’ll be angry with her.”
It was a sign that it was more than just a weight cut Konrad was so frightened of and Amy clearly understands why Konrad had been unhappy, even on twitter DM’s, he had and he knew it’s gonna take a lot for Fizz to make up what she did and he said this to Amy, knowing why he did what he did as he gets into detail about it while Amy drinks some coffee and she had during the time Konrad’s talking to her.
Konrad Raab: “I banned her temporarily from twitter because of her safety. I knew when someone told Fizz to go to hell, she’d go and commit suicide. It’s comments like that even that set her off and my dad and my brother even reported her doing it last night too, luckily she didn’t cut herself, but it’s throwing my focus right off.”
Amy Chastaine: “You think me talking to her would help? I could call or text.”
Konrad Raab: “I think it will because she already feels everyone hates her and feels she’s a horrible person that doesn’t deserve to live. She feels terrible what she did after I argued with her over it and feels without me around, she’s lonely without anybody to talk to.”
Amy Chastaine: “When I’m better with my concussion being completely gone, I will talk to Fizz to relax her a bit and you did a good thing calling a doctor to get Fizz some help for coping with the baby potentially having mental problems. It’s not easy, but I know you can cope with it. Everything is gonna be alright and be the best parents you can be for your son or daughter.”
That was a relief that Amy was willing to tell Konrad the truth about his situation with Fizz, giving him a lot of problems that are near enough affecting his in-ring ability to focus on his job, although it was clear he hadn’t been smoking weed to relax and calm him down, but he just didn’t have the time to and Konrad asks Amy this, although he knows the answer.
Konrad Raab: “Promise you won’t tell anybody as I don’t want people like Regan especially to know and take the piss out of us.”
Amy Chastaine: “I promise. It’s between you, me, and Fizz obviously.”
Konrad Raab: “You take care of yourself with resting as much as you can with that concussion because I know you’re gonna be stronger and tougher with Blake. I think your dark side should come out and beat that fucker cos it does need to in this case and you have the right reason to do so.”
Amy Chastaine: “You don’t want to see it, believe me, because it won’t be a pretty sight to see. I don’t like going to that dark place but I will if I have to. I’ll think about it and thank you for checking up on me, showing me how much of a good friend you are. You’ll keep doing your job as a good husband you can be to protect your wife. I’ll see you in the arena later.”
Konrad nodded as he felt so much better, knowing somebody else in wrestling besides Adrenaline Rush, his twin brother and his brother in law obviously the situation he’s in with Fizz as it’s difficult to do anything, but having consistent fear and worry over Fizz doing the things she’s doing, although he’s hoping to have things turning around sooner than later as he goes to the hotel to have a rest for a little bit before going straight to the arena to face against Aaron Blackbourne tonight.
----------------------------------
Aftermath of the three on one assault Konrad got from Har Megiddo. Washington, DC. Wednesday 7th February. (Off Camera)
It was certainly very strange when Konrad got backstage with Sophie and David helping him to the back as Konrad wasn’t feeling very good, something he’s never really exactly felt in his life with nearly unable to breathe from the damage he’d gotten from Har Megiddo who were confirmed as names of Behemoth, Malphas and Kali with Damien Angel being the leader of the group as Konrad wasn’t afraid of a beating he got at all.
At the same time, he was looking for Sophie James and David Callahan anyway as they wanted to discuss the Trios tournament and it seem liked he achieved two goals of calling out Har Megiddo for a fight and meeting up with Sophie and David. It was clear at least he cared for the damage of what Har Megiddo done to Adrenaline Rush, putting them out of action. Once they got to the locker room, Konrad coughs up some blood that drops to the floor as David says this.
David Callahan: “You know, waiting to make a statement in the safe confines of a locked backstage area probably would have worked out better for you.”
Konrad Raab: “And let them get away with crap they did to Adrenaline Rush? I don’t think so.”
Sophie looks concerned at Konrad coughing up blood but she smiles at him as she rests a hand on her boyfriend’s back.
Sophie James: “What you need to remember about my boyfriend, sweetie, is that he’s a sarcastic asshole at the best of times… just try and remember he says things without speaking and most of what he says he doesn’t actually mean anyway…”
Konrad Raab: “I could do with a lot of jokes right now considering I’m not very focused on a lot of things. That I can’t discuss to you both, but I’m already feeling bet…………..”
As soon as Konrad was going to say he was feeling better than he was, he coughs out blood again and once again drops some blood to the floor as he was indeed worse for the aware which wasn’t looking good, considering Fizz was on the road with him at the moment, but they managed to get him to lie down on the bench for a little while as Sophie speaks.
Sophie James: “Listen, smartass comments aside, it took guts to do what you did out there, standing up to those assholes alone…”
David Callahan: “I agree completely! Totally not something an idiot could have done.”
Sophie James: “Dave, we literally spent six months standing up to people like that in UWA, ease up on him would you… at least he showed he’s loyal, unlike a lot of assholes in the business.”
David Callahan: “Touche. Loyalty does seem like a lottery win in this business.”
It was obvious Konrad was resting as much as he could with how sore his ribs are after the attack he got from Har Megiddo as Sophie decides to give Konrad a drink and he accepts it as he gets up and takes a sip of his water and he manages to sit up, fearing how Fizz is gonna see him later after she sees him coughing up blood, but he focuses what he’s dealing with in front of him on two characters who obviously are in love with each other and David being sarcastic more times than not as he speaks.
Konrad Raab: “Seems like I’m gonna have a good time, teaming with you guys for this trios tournament.”
Sophie James: “Fuck yeah you will. Hopefully we all will. But right now, I’m more concerned about your wellbeing than Trios…”
Konrad Raab: “I’m fine, really. Just coughing up blood and feeling sore on my ribs area, nothing I can’t handle.”
David Callahan: “That whole spitting up blood thing looks serious. Maybe you should… see a doctor. Or get to spitting up your vomit and maybe a liver..”
Konrad Raab: “Funny cos I could, considering I’ve felt nothing, but sick to my stomach how I’m tackling with a lot of stuff outside the ring. In fact, being attacked the way I did, made me feel better mentally because I finally have a reason to focus on wrestling again.”
It was a strange thing Konrad said to the team about liking to be attacked because it helped him focus about wrestling again, but to him it made sense, but to David and Sophie, it wasn’t really clear, although they roughly guess something bad is happening outside of the ring, but that’s to be discussed for another time. As Konrad coughs up blood again, David says this.
David Callahan: “Seriously man! Overdoing it!”
Sophie James: “That is quite a lot of blood though, sweetie… you should probably think about going to the hospital, because that doesn’t look good…”
Konrad Raab: “I’m fine.”
Konrad chuckled at David’s comment as he drinks some more water and coughs quite a bit as he was beaten heavily, even having a slight headache that suddenly came on, although it’s clear that although Konrad’s been losing weight, he hadn’t been eating very well along with it being down to a concussion he may have too.
Sophie James: “You really should get checked out, at least by the trainers sweetie… I mean, coughing up blood isn’t a good sign; are you sure you’re even going to be fit to compete at Trios?”
Konrad Raab: “Of course. There’s no chance in hell I’m missing the chance to team with you guys, despite this bit of a setback. It’s a tournament I wouldn’t miss the world for. You both have no idea how much it means to take part in the Trios. Think of what you could do with those contracts to make any sort of match you want?”
David Callahan: “Tag. Or something. I’d have to think on it more to be honest. I want it to be glorious, a choice that will most assuredly get me laid.”
Sophie just rolls her eyes before giving a serious response.
Sophie James: “Yeah well, we’ve got a lot to prove here before we’re ready for anything like that anyway… if we get a chance to challenge for the tag titles, I want to prove we’ve earned it, going against as many teams as possible, including Har Megiddo if we get the chance. Having a contract would be awesome though…”
David Callahan: “I can’t stand SCW. This company is seriously the eater of the wrestling world, and I can’t use my trademarked name Mr. UWA! Do you have any idea how expensive patents are?! But, ya know, that assault wasn’t cool so even though it’s completely against my character and defies logic, I was proud to go out there and help. Hell, proud to be fighting for others. What about you Konrad, what you gonna use your contract for?”
Konrad Raab: “Honestly, I have no idea to decide between going for the tag titles with Adrenaline Rush when they return or finally go for the Adrenaline title.”
It was the only two options Konrad at right now when it came to the contract he could very well win at the Trios as he really wanted an ice pack to cover up the bruises for his ribs, but had to go to the medical room for that as he knows they were a tag team and states this after taking a few minutes to gather his breath.
Konrad Raab: “I want a piece of those guys. They’ll pay for what they’ve done to me and Adrenaline Rush.”
David Callahan: “That’s the big guy who flips people off and the stuttering midget, right?”
Konrad Raab: “What’s the big deal man? That’s my partner you’re talking about, someone that’s always been there for me.”
Sophie James: “GUYS!”
Both David and Konrad turn to look at Sophie, both a little surprised.
Sophie James: “Can we not start on each other? We’ve got to work together next weekend, we need to stand united. Look, he’s only joking alright Konrad? We should just focus on Regan, Alexis and Torsten, okay?”
Konrad Raab: “My apologies and you’re right, we should focus on them, especially I’ve faced them all before, well not Alexis Quinne one on one, but the other two I have and I really like to prove Regan Street I’ve delivered on what I said I’ll do more often to release my anger more often in the ring and I’m sure Adrenaline Rush would be happy as hell if I kicked Torsten’s ass and beat him again.”
Sophie and David had no contact with any of their opponents so it was very new to them but they’ve really just joined SCW so of course, they had no idea about them and they had no idea about the tournament either, although they most likely heard about it, but Konrad has no idea and he knows who he wants the most out of everyone in the match.
Konrad Raab: “I don’t find it pleasing that Torsten Volgt has made my team’s life a living hell with the rumours he and Eric made up to Tyler and Craig. I want him more than the other two in the match because of that.”
David Callahan: “What about Regan Street? Didn’t she smack talk your wife? You need to declaw that thing.”
Konrad Raab: “Fizz was in the wrong, I stand by that, although it was pretty brutal what she said, but I’m intimidated by her to tell you the truth. I can’t use this side of me at all, but considering I’m fighting the idea of using my violent side, I may consider it in the match, but it depends how I feel on the day.”
Sophie James: “Just you do you, sweetie. You’ll be fine if you just be yourself. Yeah okay, you took a risk out there, fighting three people by yourself… but it worked out alright in the end, once we came out there too. You’ll need to be at your best with no distractions if we’re going to win this thing Konrad… same goes for us too.”
Konrad Raab: “Damn right after having two awful partners last year, especially Blake costing me and Katie to win the tournament, that’s not happening this time cos I know unlike Blake and Katie you guys are there for me like today was a good example of that when you saved me from being attacked worse than I am now.”
A lot of people right now are saying Konrad is a complete fool for doing what he did to call the team out and get himself battered, but it certainly gave him a reason to fight in the tournament and certainly give him a reason to focus fully on SCW again, although he had other commitments to make with retaining a title in a few week’s time and winning a title next Thursday, that doesn’t matter as they are out of his mind and his focus was to win the tournament as it was with Sophie James and David too.
David Callahan: “I didn’t want to get involved because I wanted nothing to do with Har Megiddo, I mean… They just singlehandledy crushed a small militia of people five minutes before we went out there but if we need to take them out, proving me and Sophie are a team, consider it objective numero uno! In tthe mean time, Regan, Alexis and Torsten will be beaten like little kittens! Crushed under the fists of justice!”
Sophie James: “Can we not talk about beating or crushing kittens please?”
David Callahan: “Alright fine. They will be beaten like tiny puppies! Crushed under the fists of justice!”
Sophie just rolls her eyes, sighing as Konrad speaks.
Konrad Raab: “I gotta go you guys, got to meet with Fizz and my cousin outside of a theatre as she and Jake went to see a comedy show called Shear Madness tonight. I see you both next week and at the Trios tournament. Nice to finally meet the pair of you.”
It was something he wanted to do as although he could barely walk, he certainly had to get to the theatre as the Shear Madness show was due to finish at ten and Fizz due to her suicidal attempts wasn’t allowed to be left alone anywhere as he leaves the arena, leaving Sophie and David to be together alone in their locker room to meet up with Fizz, picking her up and taking her back to the hotel to spent time together as a couple they are for the night before Konrad leaves early in the morning to fly to Manchester, England to wrestle in a tag match, while Jake takes Fizz back home in Anaheim, California.
----------------------------------
Trios Tournament/Har Megiddo discussions. Anaheim, California. Monday 12th February. (Off Camera)
It was obvious that Fizz and Konrad clearly need to have discussions about what’s happening in SCW lately, but if there’s one thing Konrad’s glad about, it’s Fizz staying well away from twitter at the moment, especially that Regan Street somehow found it funny how Konrad had to apologise for his wife’s behaviour, but although the suicidal attempts have decreased a little bit, her fears of Konrad getting hurt a lot worse than usual haven’t as she has to the point of wanting him to be home more than usual.
Especially it scared the hell out of Fizz when Konrad was having busted up ribs and him trying to sleep, but couldn’t and coughed up a lot of blood which he hadn’t really had the time to check out lately, especially he had been wrestling in England straight after Breakdown which wasn’t easy and then the other incident he had to encounter as well in another company, but that’s to be discussed tomorrow as it wasn’t something to talk about in today’s topics as they lay in their bed as Fizz says this.
Fizz Raab: “I’m so worried about you being hurt. It feels like you’re getting more and more hurt every time you come home.”
Konrad Raab: “You know it’s apart of the sport, right? I’m bound to get hurt, especially in front of those Har Megiddo assholes who like to do ambushes instead of fighting like real wrestlers do. I almost said men, but there’s a woman involved.”
Fizz Raab: “Not only I’m worried Konrad, you’re eldest kids are worried as well. They ask, what’s wrong with my daddy, getting hurt all the time.”
Konrad Raab: “Mattheus and Roderick worried about me?”
Fizz Raab: “It’s true.”
Konrad Raab: “I love being apart of the wrestling business. Until my passion for it has died, nothing’s going to stop me doing this sport, regardless of how much I’ll get hurt. Mattheus and Roderick know all too well about me getting hurt.”
It’s true, they did know as they once saw Konrad coming home to them, explaining of his cuts and bruises on his body to his kids why he gets hurt and how it’s apart of the sport. He has shown them more injuries since because he wanted his kids not to hide their cuts to their parents and they have had some from school and at home since that time but very rarely. However, Fizz hugs Konrad tightly with how insecure she was about him fighting with carrying his baby in her stomach.
Fizz Raab: “I’m not gonna stop you, however, do you understand why I literally cried my eyes out, seeing you hurt like I did on Wednesday?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes I do. How did I know they were going to fuck me up like I did? Well, I should’ve, considering the ambush they did to Adrenaline Rush was sickening, but I’m not giving up on the war Fizz. That’s far from happening, regardless of you being pregnant which I’m far from giving up on you trying to kill yourself and our baby.”
Fizz Raab: “I’m not saying that at all, just wish people would tone down beating you up. I’m so scared of you, getting in these fights with some wrestlers, especially I know your reasons for them.”
Konrad Raab: “I know you’re scared of me being hurt cos of how much you love me, but I feel the same when you told me you want yourself and the baby to die because you feel scared about our baby potentially having psychological problems.”
He paused for a second as of course, he didn’t want to come out with that situation, but he had to as he wanted to explain his lack of focus on wrestling lately and he says this.
Konrad Raab: “Fizz, I haven’t been focused on anything, but fearing you’ll kill yourself and the baby. We will work on it together, trust me.”
Fizz Raab: “That’s hard when you’re going in the ring to hurt yourself. I can’t take it anymore.”
Konrad Raab: “Don’t watch wrestling then. The reason I got attacked a lot lately is my lack of focus of the business cos I’m scared as fuck of you dying by your attempts of suicide because of your insecurities about our baby having psychological problems.”
Fizz Raab: “Shit Konrad, haven’t things gotten better since I’ve seen a doctor every Thursday week about my mental issues?”
This was true, Konrad had officially overreacted as he was paranoid about Fizz as she was with him getting hurt nearly every single week from Sean Davenport, Phantom and even Har Megiddo lately. It was getting too much for Konrad, but it was also good because it got him to focus on the sport again, knowing things are good for a reason. He sighed knowing Fizz is right and says this.
Konrad Raab: “That’s true, you have gotten better since you’ve seen a doctor on Thursday, but I still have that fear of you wanting to die and I can’t handle it. I love you way too much for you to do that to yourself. You don’t understand how it broke my heart to see you struggling to deal with this.”
Fizz Raab: “Konrad, I’m going to be fine. I know you will too. Just that I’m not thinking straight either. I’m so scared of not being able to cope with the baby having mental problems.”
Konrad Raab: “I know. Fact is I’m taking me being attacked by Har Megiddo a good thing because it’s given me something to focus with on tackling the team by myself to seek revenge for what they did to Tyler and Craig.”
Fizz Raab: “I agree on top of winning yourself a contract to make your own match in the Trios tournament as well.”
If there’s one thing Konrad hadn’t forgotten about, it’s him being in the Trios tournament as he’s always been excited to take part in that, especially he rarely ever gets excited about being in any sort of wrestling tournaments, but this one was extra special cos it wasn’t like a rumble to win a title shot, it wasn’t like going into a title match/title defence to win/successfully defend a title, it was the opportunity to once again prove himself that he was the reason why people turned their heads towards him and why he feels how bad he wants to win himself a contract to do what he wants with it in SCW.
Konrad Raab: “Indeed and you know it’s the only wrestling tournament I look forward to all year round. It’s nothing like winning a rumble to earn a title shot, this is something I believe I can win, especially the partners I have this year with David Callahan and Sophie James, showing me how much I can depend on them on having my back, it’s higher chance of us winning than last year.”
Fizz Raab: “Thank goodness they saved your ass because can you imagine me delivering our baby when you’re in the hospital as well with a concussion along with broken bones? That would devastate me more than anything.”
Konrad Raab: “Yeah well, I’m focused on me beating Regan Street, Alexis Quinne and especially, Torsten Volgt who spread rumours on Tyler and Craig. I have more than enough reasons to win and what I’m gonna spend my contract on? Either a tag title match with Tyler or Craig, or I’ll spend it on myself on getting a chance for the Adrenaline title.”
Fizz Raab: “Personally, those options are good, but I think you need to think about yourself more. I’ve always told you and even Markus as well that you’re way too nice for your own good. Sometimes, you got to stand up for yourself and do anything to make yourself happy.”
It was a valid point Fizz made and even some wrestlers have stated to Konrad many times that he felt more of a doormat than sticking up for himself, being happy for what he done, only he realised he’s done something great by standing up for his team, believing that he should do what’s right, especially considering he didn’t really care for what Regan, Alexis, and Torsten would say about it.
Konrad Raab: “Don’t you think I’ve done that by sti……..Oh myself? I refuse to go back the way I was, giving a shit about myself. I hate being selfish.”
Fizz Raab: “I know you do, heck you hate being arrogant and full of yourself, but in this case, you have to and you have to do it more often, no matter how much it kills you to do so, you have to have way more faith in yourself, having balls to do more than just standing up against what Har Megi did to Tyler and Craig.”
Konrad Raab: “I know, just feel like I go back to my old ways again and I can’t afford to punish myself for regretting what I’ll say afterwards. I’m just gonna do my own thing and say what I need to say to advance through in the Trios Tournament, doing this to help David and Sophie as well to win a contract to view us as threats in the near future.”
Fizz Raab: “I know you will, I always support you for what you do and I’m glad you’re excited about something for once other than being against it all. If there’s anybody in the entire tournament that deserves to earn and win something special, it’s you. Now you’re looking tired, get some sleep.”
Fizz kisses Konrad’s cheek as she places her head on Konrad’s chest and falls asleep as Konrad strokes his wife for a little bit, even touching her stomach with his hands to feel the baby move around before he falls asleep himself, feeling comfortable he knows he can win the Trios Tournament more than ever, taking Sophie and David with him to victory on Sunday night.
----------------------------------
How badly does The Iceman need to win the Trios tournament? Youtube.com shoot.
“It’s been some time since I last spoke for the SCW audience since I lost to Aaron Blackbourne fair and square and there are no complaints to mention as he was the better man that night when he beat me for the three count. I respect him as an opponent and I’ll continue to learn and grow from that match too, considering my quest is full on being a Junior Heavyweight wrestler from this point on.
Moving on, I think I need to address as to why I had well guts to address a team that took my team out, Har Megiddo. Because I’m loyal to Adrenaline Rush for one and they are at home right now, recovering because of these cowards and because I don’t stand for people attacking a team that said and done nothing to Har Megiddo. I had to do the right thing by calling them out and fight me in the ring, but of course like chicken shits they are, they ambushed me from behind like cowards, but I still felt like I’ve done the right thing because that’s what honourable wrestlers do is stand up for what’s right.
Which leads me to my tag partners who came to rescue me from doing any more damage on me, Sophie James and David Callahan. They showed me why they became two people I can fully depend on in this Trios Tournament because they were there for me when it was clear I needed them and I thank them for it for showing how much I can depend on them doing a good job as last year, I got unlucky with Blake costing me and Katie Steward the tournament for us last year and all eyes were on Blake, but who did the best in the whole team? Me and that’s most likely why I’m in the tournament again.
Sophie and David have been very impressive as a team when they fought against Team Desire at Learning from History PPV, winning the match against the more experienced team, although they told me last week they worked in the same company known as United Wrestling Alliance where my brother in law was going to work, but closed down before he could put pen to paper. I have nothing but respect for David and Sophie for their achievements in the wrestling business.
Now look forward to the future regarding the opponents of our match of Regan Street, Alexis Quinne, and Torsten Volgt. Of course they are individuals who’ve won titles in their own right in SCW with Regan being the current US champion right now, but I question if Regan and Alexis will get along, considering they’ve fought against each other recently for Regan’s title so it’s gonna be interesting how that plays out, especially as of right now compared to before, I have nothing against Alexis Quinne as she’s done and said nothing to me of a recent memory.
While we were in the same match, the problem is I’ve never had the chance to lay my hand on her, meaning we’ve never really fought. Sure, Alexis couldn’t have fought in the Trios last year because of travelling issues she had along with the rest of Punk Hazard team, but I hope we get the chance to have a proper fight instead of being in the same match where we don’t do anything to each other and I felt sorry you got dumped by Max and Dante, but it’s benefited you a lot because it almost lead you to defeat Regan Street for the SCW US title. Can’t respect you enough for your effort, but you aren’t winning this match because there’s still some heat between you and Regan and I doubt she’ll want to do anything with you.
I know you’ve had some beef with my wife lately and I have to apologize for that. It was unacceptable for the kind of crap that went down with garbage Fizz said about NFL. I like the sport myself as it’s physically and mentally demanding sport. Everything you said about the sport, I agree with as players do get hurt and it’s amazing how tough they are to take those shots. I won’t get into why Fizz said what she said because I’m not gonna state it to the entire world, but it’s pretty serious, that’s all I say.
But do you have to be so nasty all the time to others around you? I know you go and pick on Selena Frost a lot on how she cheats to win, but haven’t you spent all your time demanding title matches before you became US champion? You did earn the title shot and the title from hard work, I’m not stupid to say anything different and you certainly helped so much with my anger and getting it to come out where I was afraid of doing so along with using weapons as I no longer have that fear and that Black Ice persona you saw, that’s down to you as well partly because it showed who I was and showed I shouldn’t show fear with anything that comes above me and I’m willing to show you how much I’ve grown since our match together by beating the hell out of you to prove to you I can be angry. OK maybe not the weapons part, but still being able to show you my rage at least.
Oh boy, don’t we have some history Torsten? Because I actually respect that you’ve actually won the TV title by yourself. I won’t take that away from you either, but what I don’t appreciate is the fact you and Eric have caused nothing, but hell towards my team. Saying how Tyler’s parents took meth which turned out to be completely false.
You and Eric are fucking assholes for torturing them the way you both have to them and I think to myself if you hate them so bad, why didn’t you have the balls to address and fight them two on one? Because that’s exactly what I did when I called out Har Megiddo to fight me in the ring as I’m not afraid of them and certainly not afraid of an asshole who makes my country a disgrace.
Apart from wanting my head because I defeated you the last time we’ve fought each other in a Falls Count Anywhere match, I like to hear what rumours you have for me to try and get in my head cos I guarantee you, you’d have none and I want you more than Alexis and certainly more than Regan Street to lay my hands on because I promised Tyler and Craig I’ll finish the job that they no longer can do now because of Har Megiddo putting them on the injury list.
Now the question is in the title of my video, how badly does The Iceman want to win this Trios Tournament? Easy to say as much as I hate to say something along these lines cos I barely ever say this, but I want to win more than ever before because the team me, Sophie and David are going up against have had many chances already to win titles and have done so, unless they have a goal in mind to use those contracts for something else, but we’ve never really had proper opportunities or in my case, had any sort of title wins in our name in SCW.
Of course, Sophie and David have only joined SCW and not done very much, but we’ll go out there to prove once again that we are gonna show each one of you just how much of a threat we are as a team, instead of being so called underdogs because this tournament means fucking everything to me, getting a chance to beat all seven teams in this tournament, proving everyone wrong once again like I did last year to overcome the odds of me, David and Sophie being the last wrestlers standing to hold the crystal ice contracts in our hands to make any sort of matches we like.
I know one of my choices is using it for the Adrenaline title, that’s a no-brainer, considering I made claims all ready to go for the Adrenaline title at some point, even if I want to earn it, but I really want to as I need to show the entire world that I can compete with the best fast pace wrestling in the world and besides, apart from the SCW title, it’s the only singles titles I’ve never had a title shot for and that’s gonna change if I use this contract or not.
I’m not telling the world what the other thing is because I’m keeping that as a surprise, but Sophie and David know what the other plan is as I’ve told them, but you’ll find out sooner rather than later what it is as we need to win this and it’s important for all three of us, especially me to prove what skills we’ll show to some of the best wrestlers in SCW and we’re gonna do it in style.
I hope your teams are ready to be defeated by the so-called dark horses because we’ll no longer will be if we overcome the former SCW champions, especially the current SCW US champion to show the entire world how well we can and will work as a team and most importantly, how badly we need to win this tournament. Prepare for all teams to be defeated by The Motor City Bitch, Mr. UWA, and The Iceman.”
Konrad’s parents have been very concerned about their five-year-old son not going out to play with anybody around the area. Of course, they see their other son Markus hanging around with children outside, even being the biggest bully in school, but Konrad’s the complete opposite as he never fit in with the other kids at school, feeling like he was an oddball. Although he had the same interests as his twin brother, he didn’t really seem to engage or interact with anybody which was a concern as both parents of Ingrid and Jens Raab talking downstairs while Konrad was upstairs, playing with toy cars on the floor.
Jens Raab: “I think one of us needs to talk to him.”
Ingrid Raab: “I agree.”
Jens Raab: “I think he needs some encouragement of interacting and playing with children, yet Konrad just wants to be in his room all day.”
Ingrid Raab: “I’m not sure if he’s being like this because my father was shy or it’s because it’s simply him not knowing how to make friends or talk to other children.”
Jens Raab: “That’s what I’m going to find out since Markus is fine on talking to other kids, although he acts like a tough guy, that’s how I was at school as well. I go upstairs and encourage him to play with other children outside.”
Ingrid nods as Jens went upstairs with him hearing Konrad make car noises while playing with cars he got for his birthday a couple of months ago and it seemed like it’s all he wanted to do, apart from supporting FC Koln football team that is as Jens knocks on the door, but Konrad ignores it and Jens lets himself in any way, seeing how Konrad barely even spoke other than when he’s told to by other adults as he waits for Konrad to notice, but he didn’t as he picks up one of the red cars and that’s when Konrad notices his dad and says this.
Konrad Raab: “Give me my car back.”
Jens Raab: “Son, we need to have a talk about this.”
Konrad Raab: “I’m fine.”
Jens Raab: “No, you’re not. Let’s sit on your bed and have a talk about something me and mummy need to talk to you about.”
Konrad clearly thought he was in trouble for making loud car noises and he says this, immediately knowing that’s the only thing he could do wrong.
Konrad Raab: “Sorry I was noisy.”
Jens Raab: “Not that at all son, please come sit with me on the bed.”
Konrad sighed as much as he loved playing with cars, it was him following his dad’s order and gets up from the floor and comes to sit next to his dad on the bed as he was already scared on his dad telling him off, but if it wasn’t him being noisy, what was the issue? Playing cars in his bedroom was what Konrad enjoyed and Jens gets right to it.
Jens Raab: “It’s about you going out to play.”
Konrad Raab: “I don’t want to go out.”
Jens Raab: “I know it’s because you’re shy and not knowing how to talk with other children, but I and mummy are very worried about you being in the house all the time and missing out doing things outside the house.”
Konrad Raab: “Like what?”
Jens Raab: “Going outdoors and playing with other children. I think it will do you good if you go outside and play with snow.”
Konrad Raab: “It’s cold daddy.”
Konrad was clearly not like the rest of the boys in his neighbourhood who were willing to go outside and play with other kids that are his age, but he barely says anything and when he does go outside, he plays by himself, being afraid to talk to other children, sometimes even afraid to talk to teachers. Ingrid comes up and sees her son shaking as she says this.
Ingrid Raab: “What daddy’s trying to say is that we’re concerned you always play with cars. He wants you to try something new like you playing with snow outside.”
Konrad Raab: “How do I play with snow.”
Jens Raab: “You’ll find out for yourself Konrad. You can’t always stay at home because you aren’t going to explore and do new things if you stay indoors all day, I think you may even like it.”
Konrad Raab: “I don’t know what to do outside. I don’t know what to say to children outside. I’m happy playing with cars.”
It clearly wasn’t working or playing into Konrad’s head as much as it was nice for Konrad to be happy, Jens and Ingrid wanted Konrad to do something new with his life, something he’s never done before. When he was younger, he barely went out as he always cried every time he went out as he was scared of seeing new things, but it clearly wasn’t something they were giving up on as Ingrid speaks.
Ingrid Raab: “I know you’re scared and it’s OK to be scared to go out and see people but times have changed and you’re at an age where it’s time to go out and interact with children. We all have to do things we don’t want to do. Jens, get Konrad’s coat, scarf, gloves, and hat.”
Jens does as it would be the only way of Konrad stepping out of the house and at least give things a try, but as soon as Ingrid puts Konrad’s cars away, Konrad cries because he wants to stay indoors and be safe around his parents. He was even scared of going to school because he always felt safe with them and that’s a major problem as he’s kicking and screaming as Ingrid calms him down with car noises.
Ingrid Raab: “It’s OK, you’ll be fine out there. We just want you to have fun, do things you’ve never done before. We are always here if you need us.”
Konrad calms down after hearing car noises from his mother Jens brings up Konrad’s coat, scarf, gloves and hat as he places them on his son before Jens holds Konrad’s hand and take him downstairs before they took him out of the house and close the doors behind him as Konrad was already at a loss what to do. He stands on the doorstep, already wanting to come in, but his parents pointed to go another direction as Konrad does. It took him a while to be motivated while five minutes later, he loved it.
He loved snow tipping down and he stood there, looking up the sky for hours, wondering where and how the snow came from. He sees other children making snowmen and starts to copy them, making a snowman of his own. It took him hours to make it, giggling away to enjoy the snow coming down and then he sees other kids playing with snowballs. He created a big snowman which gathered attraction from a kid who’s around the same age as Konrad as he says this.
5-year-old boy: “Hello. That’s a big snowman you made. Want to help me make mine as big as yours?”
It was clear from Konrad’s lack of interaction came to play big time, having nothing to say to the boy as he didn’t know what to say or do as the boy thought he was shy, knowing it was a complete stranger to him as he says this.
5-year-old boy: “I won’t hurt you. I’m Luka and I live a couple of blocks down the road. What’s your name?”
Konrad Raab: “Ummmm, I’m Konrad.”
Luka: “Well Konrad, come over here and help me build a big snowman.”
While Luka walks off to where his snowman is, Konrad stood still, knowing how shy he was, but slowly, he walks to Luka by tiny steps until he felt confident enough to want to spend time with Luka. He helps him building a large snowman body together as a team before placing rocks on the snowman’s chest before they moved towards building the snowman’s head. They also placed a hat on the snowman and some rocks on the snowman’s eyes and Luka went inside of his home which wasn’t too far from where Konrad lived to get something, leaving Konrad frightened to be alone without Luka being around him. He cried before Luka came out with a carrot to place on the nose and they were finished.
Luka: “The snowman looks great, doesn’t it?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
Luka: “I think you should come with me and meet my friends who are having a three-team snowball fight. Come on, let’s have some fun.”
Although Konrad had fun with the snow, he was very unsure about fighting. If there’s one thing he’s scared of, it’s fighting as he sees enough of it with his brother. Konrad sits on the snow, not willing to take part in the snowball fight cos he hates seeing or hearing about fighting and Luka notices Konrad wasn’t there as he comes back to him and says this.
Luka: “Scared of fighting?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
Luka: “You won’t be hurt. They are being friendly, having a laugh because it’s fun. Let’s go.”
At that point, Konrad remembered what his parents said, go to them if he needed them and when Luka reassured Konrad things will be fine, he got up from the snow and walks with Luka towards the other kids as once he gets closer, he sees the other kids laughing away as the fight was friendly, throwing snowballs at each other. Konrad didn’t feel he was going to fit in with the other children as he hasn’t said very much, but Luka was always there with Konrad as he says this.
Luka: “There are teams of three, you and I are together, but we’ll involve my friend, Brock with us.”
Brock came over towards Luka, knowing he found another boy to join in the snowball battle like in a trios style as he was bigger than Luka and Konrad and also known to look like a year older than both boys as Luka does the intro to Konrad and Brock.
Luka: “Konrad, this is my friend Brock and Brock, this is Konrad.”
Brock: “Hello.”
Konrad Raab: “Hi.”
Brock was very unsure with Konrad as he doesn’t seem like he’s like rest of the boys he’s seen with talking a lot right away, but Luka always wanted to make sure new boys and girls fit in fine as Brock says this.
Brock: “Is Konrad shy?”
Luka: “Yes, I can tell right away he is. He doesn’t know how to play and we need to help him with that.”
Brock: “I agree. Come on Konrad, throw the snowball at those three boys there.”
Konrad Raab: “No.”
Luka: “Remember what I said about having fun? That’s exactly what’s happening here. Give it a try.”
Konrad nods as he’s getting encouraged by Luka to join in with the other boys as he does as he made a ball out of the snow and throws it at one of the boys but it comes with a cost as he runs away, but once he was thrown a ball, Konrad smiled, knowing it didn’t hurt at all and he suddenly started having fun with Luka and Brock laughing on how much fun he was having, even Luka and Brock see how happy Konrad is with his potential new friends he was making, throwing snowballs at the other boys, although Konrad wasn’t good at throwing snowballs at the other boys, but he still had fun.
Brock: “Try using your eyes to target the boys to get them like this.”
Of course, Brock didn’t use this method, but he was showing Konrad how to aim as Brock closes one eye and aimed the snowball at one of the boys and he threw it as Konrad begins to copy as he makes a ball, has one eye closed before using his left arm to aim and he threw it, immediately capturing another target. Konrad kept doing this method until he gets the idea as he laughs when he gets hit.
Luka: “You having fun?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
He suddenly found something new to do every single year, finding his new found love for something that wasn’t just cars, snow and his team won the war, despite Konrad’s first ever time being in the snowball war and missing quite a bit before he was shown how to target a boy perfectly. Konrad drops on the ice and Luka and Brock bury Konrad in the snow with Konrad laughing and giggling away. It was something he enjoys a lot, even his parents saw how happy their son was outside from their window as he’d been out for six hours now. It was six at night now and Konrad was still playing as Jens walks up to Konrad and says this.
Jens Raab: “Come on in Konrad, time to eat dinner.”
Konrad Raab: “No, I still want to play with snow.”
Jens Raab: “OK, five more minutes.”
Jens goes back inside for a bit, seeing Konrad’s love for something other than being a stuck indoor child they thought they raised, his love of snow. Jens and Ingrid know something about their son today and he speaks to Ingrid while watching Konrad play.
Jens Raab: “He seems so happy, doesn’t he?”
Ingrid Raab: “Yes he does. He loves being in the snow and it’s all thanks to you for encouraging him that he’s fine without us watching him every minute.”
Jens Raab: “I think he’s made a couple of friends today and that’s a bonus for us, especially that he’ll likely come out of the house a lot more now.”
Ingrid Raab: “I agree, now let’s get Konrad back in the house.”
At that moment, Markus came home and knew he had fun playing with the other boys, but he wondered where his twin brother was and it turned out Markus saw Konrad playing in the snow as Ingrid went to get him as she sees Konrad even laying on the snow, moving his hands and legs in the snow, having so much fun, laughing away, but it ended as he was picked up by his mum and she says this.
Ingrid Raab: “Had fun today?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes, hope it snows tomorrow.”
Ingrid Raab: “High chance of that happening. I hope it does for you and glad to see you chatting to two new friends.”
Of course, this was uncertain at this point of time as he’s only just met Luka and Brock for the first time and certainly was a joy for Jens and Ingrid to see Konrad playing with the other boys and he comes in the house and the Ingrid closes the door. Konrad takes his coat, scarf, hat and gloves off and places them on a coat hanger before he comes and sits down with Markus, Jens, and Ingrid to eat dinner before Konrad goes up to his bedroom to play with cars again before he and Markus get to read a bedtime story before they go off to sleep in their separate rooms for the night before the next day.

Konrad discussing real-life situations with Amy Chastaine. Dallas, Texas. Wednesday 31st January. (Off Camera)
It was the day where Konrad needed to have a discussion with Amy not only about her concussion and what the deal went down with Blake, but also about Fizz and her well lets say health problems she has as it was very confidential he and Fizz are keeping from the world as Konrad not long just finished doing 2 hours of gym work as he went to meet Amy outside of a coffee shop and although he’s not going to get anything to drink, it was a discussion he clearly wanted to have. He sees Amy standing outside, being a little late as he says this.
Konrad Raab: “My apologies for being late. Didn’t realize the time until my temporary trainer told me to stop working out.”
Amy Chastaine: “It’s all right, let’s go in.”
Konrad nods as he straight away finds somewhere to sit due to him keeping an eye out on his weight, while he waits for Amy to get a drink. Of course, Amy knows there’s clearly something bothering him and Fizz, mostly Fizz from her reactions on twitter as of late and he had an argument all of Sunday about it. Also, he generally cared for his friend after what happened at the PPV as Amy came to sit down where Konrad was and asked him a question.
Amy Chastaine: “You aren’t getting a drink?”
Konrad Raab: “No because I’m being weighed tomorrow so got to limit how much I drink.”
Amy Chastaine: “I understand.”
Amy was concerned still about Konrad may take things too far with the weight cut he’s doing, but she certainly sees how much the weight cut has drained out Konrad from looking at his face, but he knows deep down inside, it will all be worth it as it was doing him more good than bad to be more healthy and to take risks with doing new things in the sport, but he asks Amy about her injury.
Konrad Raab: “How’s your concussion recovery going?”
Amy Chastaine: “It’s going alright. Was told by the doctor the other day I can’t get in the ring until next week, but coming to the show this week was okay. Wyatt is with me just in case anything goes wrong later tonight.”
Konrad Raab: “I can’t believe how Blake lied to everyone by saying he retired from wrestling and then he turns into a coward to attack you from behind and spiked your head with a brainbuster on the apron.”
Amy Chastaine: “That’s typical Blake for you. He’s a very different guy now compared to how I knew him before. He’s gonna get payback when I face him in the ring, if he isn’t too cowardly to do it. Don’t worry because he’ll be sorry for what fire he sparked with me.”
Konrad Raab: “I was gutted as hell when he announced he retired from wrestling because I still can’t get over what he did to Simon Lyman, offending me like he did as I got a brother in law as you know with a learning disability. That’s the sickest thing I’ve seen in my life and I wanted to get my hands on him myself.”
It was clear that although, it’s almost a year ago the incident happened, boy Konrad wanted to face Blake Mason badly and now he couldn’t because Blake retired from wrestling and he had no idea what his plans were going forward in SCW, although he wanted a rematch with AJ Helms as he always felt bad on how he gave AJ the win and he wants to lose fairly instead of running after Jason Helms.
Amy Chastaine: “Personally, I think everyone would’ve loved to see you get Blake back after what he did to Simon, especially how Samuel McPherson has a learning disability and if I knew someone who had a learning disability in my family, I’d be offended too.”
Konrad Raab: “Nobody understands me with that it seems. Seems like it’s OK to pick people in wheelchairs or they talk or in Samuel’s case, not talking at all, lack of understanding how people have to deal with things like that every day.”
Amy Chastaine: “I fully get what you’re saying, but I would suggest you move on from Blake and that day before you get yourself hurt by him.”
Konrad Raab: “I’m glad you’re OK and I’m sorry for not visiting you, feel like a shitty friend to you.”
Amy Chastaine: “No, you aren’t. You were there when I needed you for other times and like you’ve said, you’ve been busy with wrestling and that’s understandable. I appreciate you being here now to check I’m alright.”
Konrad still was angry about what Blake did to Simon, but Amy was right, Konrad had to move on and focus on the Trios tournament and in a way, focus on his opponent tonight, Aaron Blackbourne, but it wasn’t clear on either of those things, although he only found out about facing Aaron on Sunday, not his fault obviously as he’s been so busy with wrestling that he hadn’t had the chance to look. Amy clearly sees Konrad being quite down.
Amy Chastaine: “Did Fizz agree on allowing you to tell me what’s been going on with her?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes she did.”
Amy Chastaine: “I won’t lie, Fizz is really angry about something and I’m so concerned for her. Are things alright with her?”
Konrad Raab: “No they aren’t.”
Amy Chastaine: “You know I won’t tell a single soul to anybody in SCW what you tell me because I know it must be quite serious for you and Fizz to not tell the world what’s going on with Fizz.”
Konrad nodded as he knew the one and only friend besides Adrenaline Rush he can trust outside of his family to keep as a secret was Amy Chastaine. They discussed a lot of issues together, even bits the world didn’t know about and still kept private to this day, although now he fears about Bree spilling out his secret with drugs he used to take but he doesn’t worry about that for now as he gets down to the issue that’s clearly worrying him a lot.
Konrad Raab: “Right now, Fizz is having a really hard time with her pregnancy and we had news that our baby when he or she is born could potentially have psychological problems, like the voice in my head I get sometimes and overall, having mental problems. She’s tried committing suicide over it and what scared me is she’s said she wants the baby to die as well as herself.”
Amy Chastaine: “Wow, that’s a lot to handle. It’s putting a lot of strain on her and it’s never the way for Fizz to do that to herself, much less the things she says. She’s afraid right now on not being able to manage it.”
Konrad Raab: “It’s why I’m always scared of going to work now because of Fizz being in this state of wanting to kill herself and when I came home on Sunday, she nearly strangled herself to death. I managed to cut her down from the ceiling with scissors to save her just in time, but I was in tears she’d do this to herself, especially when we have kids together.”
Amy Chastaine: “She obviously needs a lot of help mentally by going to the doctor and talking about why she feels the way she does.”
Konrad Raab: “She’s going to see someone every Thursdays from now on. I don’t know if she will go and if she doesn’t, I’ll be angry with her.”
It was a sign that it was more than just a weight cut Konrad was so frightened of and Amy clearly understands why Konrad had been unhappy, even on twitter DM’s, he had and he knew it’s gonna take a lot for Fizz to make up what she did and he said this to Amy, knowing why he did what he did as he gets into detail about it while Amy drinks some coffee and she had during the time Konrad’s talking to her.
Konrad Raab: “I banned her temporarily from twitter because of her safety. I knew when someone told Fizz to go to hell, she’d go and commit suicide. It’s comments like that even that set her off and my dad and my brother even reported her doing it last night too, luckily she didn’t cut herself, but it’s throwing my focus right off.”
Amy Chastaine: “You think me talking to her would help? I could call or text.”
Konrad Raab: “I think it will because she already feels everyone hates her and feels she’s a horrible person that doesn’t deserve to live. She feels terrible what she did after I argued with her over it and feels without me around, she’s lonely without anybody to talk to.”
Amy Chastaine: “When I’m better with my concussion being completely gone, I will talk to Fizz to relax her a bit and you did a good thing calling a doctor to get Fizz some help for coping with the baby potentially having mental problems. It’s not easy, but I know you can cope with it. Everything is gonna be alright and be the best parents you can be for your son or daughter.”
That was a relief that Amy was willing to tell Konrad the truth about his situation with Fizz, giving him a lot of problems that are near enough affecting his in-ring ability to focus on his job, although it was clear he hadn’t been smoking weed to relax and calm him down, but he just didn’t have the time to and Konrad asks Amy this, although he knows the answer.
Konrad Raab: “Promise you won’t tell anybody as I don’t want people like Regan especially to know and take the piss out of us.”
Amy Chastaine: “I promise. It’s between you, me, and Fizz obviously.”
Konrad Raab: “You take care of yourself with resting as much as you can with that concussion because I know you’re gonna be stronger and tougher with Blake. I think your dark side should come out and beat that fucker cos it does need to in this case and you have the right reason to do so.”
Amy Chastaine: “You don’t want to see it, believe me, because it won’t be a pretty sight to see. I don’t like going to that dark place but I will if I have to. I’ll think about it and thank you for checking up on me, showing me how much of a good friend you are. You’ll keep doing your job as a good husband you can be to protect your wife. I’ll see you in the arena later.”
Konrad nodded as he felt so much better, knowing somebody else in wrestling besides Adrenaline Rush, his twin brother and his brother in law obviously the situation he’s in with Fizz as it’s difficult to do anything, but having consistent fear and worry over Fizz doing the things she’s doing, although he’s hoping to have things turning around sooner than later as he goes to the hotel to have a rest for a little bit before going straight to the arena to face against Aaron Blackbourne tonight.
----------------------------------
Aftermath of the three on one assault Konrad got from Har Megiddo. Washington, DC. Wednesday 7th February. (Off Camera)
It was certainly very strange when Konrad got backstage with Sophie and David helping him to the back as Konrad wasn’t feeling very good, something he’s never really exactly felt in his life with nearly unable to breathe from the damage he’d gotten from Har Megiddo who were confirmed as names of Behemoth, Malphas and Kali with Damien Angel being the leader of the group as Konrad wasn’t afraid of a beating he got at all.
At the same time, he was looking for Sophie James and David Callahan anyway as they wanted to discuss the Trios tournament and it seem liked he achieved two goals of calling out Har Megiddo for a fight and meeting up with Sophie and David. It was clear at least he cared for the damage of what Har Megiddo done to Adrenaline Rush, putting them out of action. Once they got to the locker room, Konrad coughs up some blood that drops to the floor as David says this.
David Callahan: “You know, waiting to make a statement in the safe confines of a locked backstage area probably would have worked out better for you.”
Konrad Raab: “And let them get away with crap they did to Adrenaline Rush? I don’t think so.”
Sophie looks concerned at Konrad coughing up blood but she smiles at him as she rests a hand on her boyfriend’s back.
Sophie James: “What you need to remember about my boyfriend, sweetie, is that he’s a sarcastic asshole at the best of times… just try and remember he says things without speaking and most of what he says he doesn’t actually mean anyway…”
Konrad Raab: “I could do with a lot of jokes right now considering I’m not very focused on a lot of things. That I can’t discuss to you both, but I’m already feeling bet…………..”
As soon as Konrad was going to say he was feeling better than he was, he coughs out blood again and once again drops some blood to the floor as he was indeed worse for the aware which wasn’t looking good, considering Fizz was on the road with him at the moment, but they managed to get him to lie down on the bench for a little while as Sophie speaks.
Sophie James: “Listen, smartass comments aside, it took guts to do what you did out there, standing up to those assholes alone…”
David Callahan: “I agree completely! Totally not something an idiot could have done.”
Sophie James: “Dave, we literally spent six months standing up to people like that in UWA, ease up on him would you… at least he showed he’s loyal, unlike a lot of assholes in the business.”
David Callahan: “Touche. Loyalty does seem like a lottery win in this business.”
It was obvious Konrad was resting as much as he could with how sore his ribs are after the attack he got from Har Megiddo as Sophie decides to give Konrad a drink and he accepts it as he gets up and takes a sip of his water and he manages to sit up, fearing how Fizz is gonna see him later after she sees him coughing up blood, but he focuses what he’s dealing with in front of him on two characters who obviously are in love with each other and David being sarcastic more times than not as he speaks.
Konrad Raab: “Seems like I’m gonna have a good time, teaming with you guys for this trios tournament.”
Sophie James: “Fuck yeah you will. Hopefully we all will. But right now, I’m more concerned about your wellbeing than Trios…”
Konrad Raab: “I’m fine, really. Just coughing up blood and feeling sore on my ribs area, nothing I can’t handle.”
David Callahan: “That whole spitting up blood thing looks serious. Maybe you should… see a doctor. Or get to spitting up your vomit and maybe a liver..”
Konrad Raab: “Funny cos I could, considering I’ve felt nothing, but sick to my stomach how I’m tackling with a lot of stuff outside the ring. In fact, being attacked the way I did, made me feel better mentally because I finally have a reason to focus on wrestling again.”
It was a strange thing Konrad said to the team about liking to be attacked because it helped him focus about wrestling again, but to him it made sense, but to David and Sophie, it wasn’t really clear, although they roughly guess something bad is happening outside of the ring, but that’s to be discussed for another time. As Konrad coughs up blood again, David says this.
David Callahan: “Seriously man! Overdoing it!”
Sophie James: “That is quite a lot of blood though, sweetie… you should probably think about going to the hospital, because that doesn’t look good…”
Konrad Raab: “I’m fine.”
Konrad chuckled at David’s comment as he drinks some more water and coughs quite a bit as he was beaten heavily, even having a slight headache that suddenly came on, although it’s clear that although Konrad’s been losing weight, he hadn’t been eating very well along with it being down to a concussion he may have too.
Sophie James: “You really should get checked out, at least by the trainers sweetie… I mean, coughing up blood isn’t a good sign; are you sure you’re even going to be fit to compete at Trios?”
Konrad Raab: “Of course. There’s no chance in hell I’m missing the chance to team with you guys, despite this bit of a setback. It’s a tournament I wouldn’t miss the world for. You both have no idea how much it means to take part in the Trios. Think of what you could do with those contracts to make any sort of match you want?”
David Callahan: “Tag. Or something. I’d have to think on it more to be honest. I want it to be glorious, a choice that will most assuredly get me laid.”
Sophie just rolls her eyes before giving a serious response.
Sophie James: “Yeah well, we’ve got a lot to prove here before we’re ready for anything like that anyway… if we get a chance to challenge for the tag titles, I want to prove we’ve earned it, going against as many teams as possible, including Har Megiddo if we get the chance. Having a contract would be awesome though…”
David Callahan: “I can’t stand SCW. This company is seriously the eater of the wrestling world, and I can’t use my trademarked name Mr. UWA! Do you have any idea how expensive patents are?! But, ya know, that assault wasn’t cool so even though it’s completely against my character and defies logic, I was proud to go out there and help. Hell, proud to be fighting for others. What about you Konrad, what you gonna use your contract for?”
Konrad Raab: “Honestly, I have no idea to decide between going for the tag titles with Adrenaline Rush when they return or finally go for the Adrenaline title.”
It was the only two options Konrad at right now when it came to the contract he could very well win at the Trios as he really wanted an ice pack to cover up the bruises for his ribs, but had to go to the medical room for that as he knows they were a tag team and states this after taking a few minutes to gather his breath.
Konrad Raab: “I want a piece of those guys. They’ll pay for what they’ve done to me and Adrenaline Rush.”
David Callahan: “That’s the big guy who flips people off and the stuttering midget, right?”
Konrad Raab: “What’s the big deal man? That’s my partner you’re talking about, someone that’s always been there for me.”
Sophie James: “GUYS!”
Both David and Konrad turn to look at Sophie, both a little surprised.
Sophie James: “Can we not start on each other? We’ve got to work together next weekend, we need to stand united. Look, he’s only joking alright Konrad? We should just focus on Regan, Alexis and Torsten, okay?”
Konrad Raab: “My apologies and you’re right, we should focus on them, especially I’ve faced them all before, well not Alexis Quinne one on one, but the other two I have and I really like to prove Regan Street I’ve delivered on what I said I’ll do more often to release my anger more often in the ring and I’m sure Adrenaline Rush would be happy as hell if I kicked Torsten’s ass and beat him again.”
Sophie and David had no contact with any of their opponents so it was very new to them but they’ve really just joined SCW so of course, they had no idea about them and they had no idea about the tournament either, although they most likely heard about it, but Konrad has no idea and he knows who he wants the most out of everyone in the match.
Konrad Raab: “I don’t find it pleasing that Torsten Volgt has made my team’s life a living hell with the rumours he and Eric made up to Tyler and Craig. I want him more than the other two in the match because of that.”
David Callahan: “What about Regan Street? Didn’t she smack talk your wife? You need to declaw that thing.”
Konrad Raab: “Fizz was in the wrong, I stand by that, although it was pretty brutal what she said, but I’m intimidated by her to tell you the truth. I can’t use this side of me at all, but considering I’m fighting the idea of using my violent side, I may consider it in the match, but it depends how I feel on the day.”
Sophie James: “Just you do you, sweetie. You’ll be fine if you just be yourself. Yeah okay, you took a risk out there, fighting three people by yourself… but it worked out alright in the end, once we came out there too. You’ll need to be at your best with no distractions if we’re going to win this thing Konrad… same goes for us too.”
Konrad Raab: “Damn right after having two awful partners last year, especially Blake costing me and Katie to win the tournament, that’s not happening this time cos I know unlike Blake and Katie you guys are there for me like today was a good example of that when you saved me from being attacked worse than I am now.”
A lot of people right now are saying Konrad is a complete fool for doing what he did to call the team out and get himself battered, but it certainly gave him a reason to fight in the tournament and certainly give him a reason to focus fully on SCW again, although he had other commitments to make with retaining a title in a few week’s time and winning a title next Thursday, that doesn’t matter as they are out of his mind and his focus was to win the tournament as it was with Sophie James and David too.
David Callahan: “I didn’t want to get involved because I wanted nothing to do with Har Megiddo, I mean… They just singlehandledy crushed a small militia of people five minutes before we went out there but if we need to take them out, proving me and Sophie are a team, consider it objective numero uno! In tthe mean time, Regan, Alexis and Torsten will be beaten like little kittens! Crushed under the fists of justice!”
Sophie James: “Can we not talk about beating or crushing kittens please?”
David Callahan: “Alright fine. They will be beaten like tiny puppies! Crushed under the fists of justice!”
Sophie just rolls her eyes, sighing as Konrad speaks.
Konrad Raab: “I gotta go you guys, got to meet with Fizz and my cousin outside of a theatre as she and Jake went to see a comedy show called Shear Madness tonight. I see you both next week and at the Trios tournament. Nice to finally meet the pair of you.”
It was something he wanted to do as although he could barely walk, he certainly had to get to the theatre as the Shear Madness show was due to finish at ten and Fizz due to her suicidal attempts wasn’t allowed to be left alone anywhere as he leaves the arena, leaving Sophie and David to be together alone in their locker room to meet up with Fizz, picking her up and taking her back to the hotel to spent time together as a couple they are for the night before Konrad leaves early in the morning to fly to Manchester, England to wrestle in a tag match, while Jake takes Fizz back home in Anaheim, California.
----------------------------------
Trios Tournament/Har Megiddo discussions. Anaheim, California. Monday 12th February. (Off Camera)
It was obvious that Fizz and Konrad clearly need to have discussions about what’s happening in SCW lately, but if there’s one thing Konrad’s glad about, it’s Fizz staying well away from twitter at the moment, especially that Regan Street somehow found it funny how Konrad had to apologise for his wife’s behaviour, but although the suicidal attempts have decreased a little bit, her fears of Konrad getting hurt a lot worse than usual haven’t as she has to the point of wanting him to be home more than usual.
Especially it scared the hell out of Fizz when Konrad was having busted up ribs and him trying to sleep, but couldn’t and coughed up a lot of blood which he hadn’t really had the time to check out lately, especially he had been wrestling in England straight after Breakdown which wasn’t easy and then the other incident he had to encounter as well in another company, but that’s to be discussed tomorrow as it wasn’t something to talk about in today’s topics as they lay in their bed as Fizz says this.
Fizz Raab: “I’m so worried about you being hurt. It feels like you’re getting more and more hurt every time you come home.”
Konrad Raab: “You know it’s apart of the sport, right? I’m bound to get hurt, especially in front of those Har Megiddo assholes who like to do ambushes instead of fighting like real wrestlers do. I almost said men, but there’s a woman involved.”
Fizz Raab: “Not only I’m worried Konrad, you’re eldest kids are worried as well. They ask, what’s wrong with my daddy, getting hurt all the time.”
Konrad Raab: “Mattheus and Roderick worried about me?”
Fizz Raab: “It’s true.”
Konrad Raab: “I love being apart of the wrestling business. Until my passion for it has died, nothing’s going to stop me doing this sport, regardless of how much I’ll get hurt. Mattheus and Roderick know all too well about me getting hurt.”
It’s true, they did know as they once saw Konrad coming home to them, explaining of his cuts and bruises on his body to his kids why he gets hurt and how it’s apart of the sport. He has shown them more injuries since because he wanted his kids not to hide their cuts to their parents and they have had some from school and at home since that time but very rarely. However, Fizz hugs Konrad tightly with how insecure she was about him fighting with carrying his baby in her stomach.
Fizz Raab: “I’m not gonna stop you, however, do you understand why I literally cried my eyes out, seeing you hurt like I did on Wednesday?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes I do. How did I know they were going to fuck me up like I did? Well, I should’ve, considering the ambush they did to Adrenaline Rush was sickening, but I’m not giving up on the war Fizz. That’s far from happening, regardless of you being pregnant which I’m far from giving up on you trying to kill yourself and our baby.”
Fizz Raab: “I’m not saying that at all, just wish people would tone down beating you up. I’m so scared of you, getting in these fights with some wrestlers, especially I know your reasons for them.”
Konrad Raab: “I know you’re scared of me being hurt cos of how much you love me, but I feel the same when you told me you want yourself and the baby to die because you feel scared about our baby potentially having psychological problems.”
He paused for a second as of course, he didn’t want to come out with that situation, but he had to as he wanted to explain his lack of focus on wrestling lately and he says this.
Konrad Raab: “Fizz, I haven’t been focused on anything, but fearing you’ll kill yourself and the baby. We will work on it together, trust me.”
Fizz Raab: “That’s hard when you’re going in the ring to hurt yourself. I can’t take it anymore.”
Konrad Raab: “Don’t watch wrestling then. The reason I got attacked a lot lately is my lack of focus of the business cos I’m scared as fuck of you dying by your attempts of suicide because of your insecurities about our baby having psychological problems.”
Fizz Raab: “Shit Konrad, haven’t things gotten better since I’ve seen a doctor every Thursday week about my mental issues?”
This was true, Konrad had officially overreacted as he was paranoid about Fizz as she was with him getting hurt nearly every single week from Sean Davenport, Phantom and even Har Megiddo lately. It was getting too much for Konrad, but it was also good because it got him to focus on the sport again, knowing things are good for a reason. He sighed knowing Fizz is right and says this.
Konrad Raab: “That’s true, you have gotten better since you’ve seen a doctor on Thursday, but I still have that fear of you wanting to die and I can’t handle it. I love you way too much for you to do that to yourself. You don’t understand how it broke my heart to see you struggling to deal with this.”
Fizz Raab: “Konrad, I’m going to be fine. I know you will too. Just that I’m not thinking straight either. I’m so scared of not being able to cope with the baby having mental problems.”
Konrad Raab: “I know. Fact is I’m taking me being attacked by Har Megiddo a good thing because it’s given me something to focus with on tackling the team by myself to seek revenge for what they did to Tyler and Craig.”
Fizz Raab: “I agree on top of winning yourself a contract to make your own match in the Trios tournament as well.”
If there’s one thing Konrad hadn’t forgotten about, it’s him being in the Trios tournament as he’s always been excited to take part in that, especially he rarely ever gets excited about being in any sort of wrestling tournaments, but this one was extra special cos it wasn’t like a rumble to win a title shot, it wasn’t like going into a title match/title defence to win/successfully defend a title, it was the opportunity to once again prove himself that he was the reason why people turned their heads towards him and why he feels how bad he wants to win himself a contract to do what he wants with it in SCW.
Konrad Raab: “Indeed and you know it’s the only wrestling tournament I look forward to all year round. It’s nothing like winning a rumble to earn a title shot, this is something I believe I can win, especially the partners I have this year with David Callahan and Sophie James, showing me how much I can depend on them on having my back, it’s higher chance of us winning than last year.”
Fizz Raab: “Thank goodness they saved your ass because can you imagine me delivering our baby when you’re in the hospital as well with a concussion along with broken bones? That would devastate me more than anything.”
Konrad Raab: “Yeah well, I’m focused on me beating Regan Street, Alexis Quinne and especially, Torsten Volgt who spread rumours on Tyler and Craig. I have more than enough reasons to win and what I’m gonna spend my contract on? Either a tag title match with Tyler or Craig, or I’ll spend it on myself on getting a chance for the Adrenaline title.”
Fizz Raab: “Personally, those options are good, but I think you need to think about yourself more. I’ve always told you and even Markus as well that you’re way too nice for your own good. Sometimes, you got to stand up for yourself and do anything to make yourself happy.”
It was a valid point Fizz made and even some wrestlers have stated to Konrad many times that he felt more of a doormat than sticking up for himself, being happy for what he done, only he realised he’s done something great by standing up for his team, believing that he should do what’s right, especially considering he didn’t really care for what Regan, Alexis, and Torsten would say about it.
Konrad Raab: “Don’t you think I’ve done that by sti……..Oh myself? I refuse to go back the way I was, giving a shit about myself. I hate being selfish.”
Fizz Raab: “I know you do, heck you hate being arrogant and full of yourself, but in this case, you have to and you have to do it more often, no matter how much it kills you to do so, you have to have way more faith in yourself, having balls to do more than just standing up against what Har Megi did to Tyler and Craig.”
Konrad Raab: “I know, just feel like I go back to my old ways again and I can’t afford to punish myself for regretting what I’ll say afterwards. I’m just gonna do my own thing and say what I need to say to advance through in the Trios Tournament, doing this to help David and Sophie as well to win a contract to view us as threats in the near future.”
Fizz Raab: “I know you will, I always support you for what you do and I’m glad you’re excited about something for once other than being against it all. If there’s anybody in the entire tournament that deserves to earn and win something special, it’s you. Now you’re looking tired, get some sleep.”
Fizz kisses Konrad’s cheek as she places her head on Konrad’s chest and falls asleep as Konrad strokes his wife for a little bit, even touching her stomach with his hands to feel the baby move around before he falls asleep himself, feeling comfortable he knows he can win the Trios Tournament more than ever, taking Sophie and David with him to victory on Sunday night.
----------------------------------
How badly does The Iceman need to win the Trios tournament? Youtube.com shoot.
“It’s been some time since I last spoke for the SCW audience since I lost to Aaron Blackbourne fair and square and there are no complaints to mention as he was the better man that night when he beat me for the three count. I respect him as an opponent and I’ll continue to learn and grow from that match too, considering my quest is full on being a Junior Heavyweight wrestler from this point on.
Moving on, I think I need to address as to why I had well guts to address a team that took my team out, Har Megiddo. Because I’m loyal to Adrenaline Rush for one and they are at home right now, recovering because of these cowards and because I don’t stand for people attacking a team that said and done nothing to Har Megiddo. I had to do the right thing by calling them out and fight me in the ring, but of course like chicken shits they are, they ambushed me from behind like cowards, but I still felt like I’ve done the right thing because that’s what honourable wrestlers do is stand up for what’s right.
Which leads me to my tag partners who came to rescue me from doing any more damage on me, Sophie James and David Callahan. They showed me why they became two people I can fully depend on in this Trios Tournament because they were there for me when it was clear I needed them and I thank them for it for showing how much I can depend on them doing a good job as last year, I got unlucky with Blake costing me and Katie Steward the tournament for us last year and all eyes were on Blake, but who did the best in the whole team? Me and that’s most likely why I’m in the tournament again.
Sophie and David have been very impressive as a team when they fought against Team Desire at Learning from History PPV, winning the match against the more experienced team, although they told me last week they worked in the same company known as United Wrestling Alliance where my brother in law was going to work, but closed down before he could put pen to paper. I have nothing but respect for David and Sophie for their achievements in the wrestling business.
Now look forward to the future regarding the opponents of our match of Regan Street, Alexis Quinne, and Torsten Volgt. Of course they are individuals who’ve won titles in their own right in SCW with Regan being the current US champion right now, but I question if Regan and Alexis will get along, considering they’ve fought against each other recently for Regan’s title so it’s gonna be interesting how that plays out, especially as of right now compared to before, I have nothing against Alexis Quinne as she’s done and said nothing to me of a recent memory.
While we were in the same match, the problem is I’ve never had the chance to lay my hand on her, meaning we’ve never really fought. Sure, Alexis couldn’t have fought in the Trios last year because of travelling issues she had along with the rest of Punk Hazard team, but I hope we get the chance to have a proper fight instead of being in the same match where we don’t do anything to each other and I felt sorry you got dumped by Max and Dante, but it’s benefited you a lot because it almost lead you to defeat Regan Street for the SCW US title. Can’t respect you enough for your effort, but you aren’t winning this match because there’s still some heat between you and Regan and I doubt she’ll want to do anything with you.
I know you’ve had some beef with my wife lately and I have to apologize for that. It was unacceptable for the kind of crap that went down with garbage Fizz said about NFL. I like the sport myself as it’s physically and mentally demanding sport. Everything you said about the sport, I agree with as players do get hurt and it’s amazing how tough they are to take those shots. I won’t get into why Fizz said what she said because I’m not gonna state it to the entire world, but it’s pretty serious, that’s all I say.
But do you have to be so nasty all the time to others around you? I know you go and pick on Selena Frost a lot on how she cheats to win, but haven’t you spent all your time demanding title matches before you became US champion? You did earn the title shot and the title from hard work, I’m not stupid to say anything different and you certainly helped so much with my anger and getting it to come out where I was afraid of doing so along with using weapons as I no longer have that fear and that Black Ice persona you saw, that’s down to you as well partly because it showed who I was and showed I shouldn’t show fear with anything that comes above me and I’m willing to show you how much I’ve grown since our match together by beating the hell out of you to prove to you I can be angry. OK maybe not the weapons part, but still being able to show you my rage at least.
Oh boy, don’t we have some history Torsten? Because I actually respect that you’ve actually won the TV title by yourself. I won’t take that away from you either, but what I don’t appreciate is the fact you and Eric have caused nothing, but hell towards my team. Saying how Tyler’s parents took meth which turned out to be completely false.
You and Eric are fucking assholes for torturing them the way you both have to them and I think to myself if you hate them so bad, why didn’t you have the balls to address and fight them two on one? Because that’s exactly what I did when I called out Har Megiddo to fight me in the ring as I’m not afraid of them and certainly not afraid of an asshole who makes my country a disgrace.
Apart from wanting my head because I defeated you the last time we’ve fought each other in a Falls Count Anywhere match, I like to hear what rumours you have for me to try and get in my head cos I guarantee you, you’d have none and I want you more than Alexis and certainly more than Regan Street to lay my hands on because I promised Tyler and Craig I’ll finish the job that they no longer can do now because of Har Megiddo putting them on the injury list.
Now the question is in the title of my video, how badly does The Iceman want to win this Trios Tournament? Easy to say as much as I hate to say something along these lines cos I barely ever say this, but I want to win more than ever before because the team me, Sophie and David are going up against have had many chances already to win titles and have done so, unless they have a goal in mind to use those contracts for something else, but we’ve never really had proper opportunities or in my case, had any sort of title wins in our name in SCW.
Of course, Sophie and David have only joined SCW and not done very much, but we’ll go out there to prove once again that we are gonna show each one of you just how much of a threat we are as a team, instead of being so called underdogs because this tournament means fucking everything to me, getting a chance to beat all seven teams in this tournament, proving everyone wrong once again like I did last year to overcome the odds of me, David and Sophie being the last wrestlers standing to hold the crystal ice contracts in our hands to make any sort of matches we like.
I know one of my choices is using it for the Adrenaline title, that’s a no-brainer, considering I made claims all ready to go for the Adrenaline title at some point, even if I want to earn it, but I really want to as I need to show the entire world that I can compete with the best fast pace wrestling in the world and besides, apart from the SCW title, it’s the only singles titles I’ve never had a title shot for and that’s gonna change if I use this contract or not.
I’m not telling the world what the other thing is because I’m keeping that as a surprise, but Sophie and David know what the other plan is as I’ve told them, but you’ll find out sooner rather than later what it is as we need to win this and it’s important for all three of us, especially me to prove what skills we’ll show to some of the best wrestlers in SCW and we’re gonna do it in style.
I hope your teams are ready to be defeated by the so-called dark horses because we’ll no longer will be if we overcome the former SCW champions, especially the current SCW US champion to show the entire world how well we can and will work as a team and most importantly, how badly we need to win this tournament. Prepare for all teams to be defeated by The Motor City Bitch, Mr. UWA, and The Iceman.”
