Where The Iceman nickname came from (Part 2.) (Konrad at five years old.) Cologne, Germany. December 1971. (Off Camera)
It was seven in the morning in the Raab household where everybody, but Konrad was up as he was still asleep from the tiring day he had yesterday. He potentially made two friends yesterday while just being out in the snow. As everyone sat around the table, Jens noticed Konrad wasn't downstairs yet. Of course, Ingrid knew it was exhausting day mentally for Konrad to talk as much as he did along with exploring the good outdoors. It was snowing again as it was something Konrad's going to love a lot. Markus his brother was more of a summer person as he loved hot temperatures and being burnt on his skin. Ingrid knew it was time Konrad got up from his sleep as she shouts.
Ingrid Raab: “KONRAD.”
Konrad was still asleep as one thing they knew about their son as he's a very heavy sleeper as Jens decided to go upstairs to Konrad's bedroom and goes in to wake him up as he throws the duvet on the floor and opens the curtains. Of course, Konrad rubs his eyes to wake up and sits up on the bed as he's right near the window and says this.
Konrad Raab: “YAY, more snow for me to play.”
Jens Raab: “Not yet son. Eat your breakfast first.”
That's a good point by his dad, Konrad got so excited by snow that he barely realized he wasn't fully dressed to go out and play in the snow once again. He watches snow for quite sometime after Jens left him. Of course, he was seeing some kids outside, having snowball fights and generally having fun, especially he saw children sliding in the snow.
It took a while for Konrad to come downstairs as Jens went back up again as it was fifteen minutes since he woke him up and still hadn't come down to eat breakfast. It was something that fascinated Konrad a lot to see snow falling down, being something he'd enjoyed a lot yesterday as Jens came towards Konrad and says this.
Jens Raab: “Come on Konrad, come down and eat your breakfast right now.”
Instead, Konrad continues to watch the snow, without realizing he had to eat Frosties for breakfast as he immediately sees Konrad not listening as he still continues to watch the snow as Jens says this.
Jens Raab: “If you don't eat breakfast, you won't go outside today.”
When he said that, Konrad responded quickly, sighing as he enjoys watching the snow and other children playing in the snow a lot. He got up from his bed and walks downstairs to the living room to eat his Frosties as he still looks at the snow as the tiny window was opposite where he was sitting, looking at the snow. He rushes his Frosties down his stomach, although his parents see Konrad eating way too fast.
Ingrid Raab: “Slow down Konrad, we don't want you to get sick.”
Konrad did slow down to eat as he was just dying to go out in the snow once again as he does. Markus was already going outside since he ate his breakfast earlier and ready to step outdoors and closes the door behind him. Konrad, on the other hand, ate his breakfast as he then finishes five minutes after just sitting down, eating fast when he shouldn't have been. He rushes upstairs, getting himself washed before Jens gets out clothes for Konrad to wear as Konrad wasn't very good at matching clothes correctly, especially how excited he is to go out in the snow. He places Konrad's clothes on his bed along with his underwear before Konrad goes into his room and places clothes on as he rushes them on, although his jumper was inside out as he took it off to turn it around.
Once he did that, he completely forgot about his cars and rushes straight downstairs as Konrad's mum knows Konrad was dying to get outside, only she says this to him.
Ingrid Raab: “Two young boys are waiting for you.”
Konrad Raab: “Luka and Brock?”
Ingrid Raab: “Yes.”
This really urged Konrad on as he quickly places his hat, coat, scarf, and gloves on as he steps outdoors and closes it, barely wanting to say goodbye to his parents as he wanted to get stuck right in with his new hobby of playing with ice. They walked away from Konrad's house as Konrad closed his ears on the screeching noise he heard from Luka as he looks down to see something he hadn't seen before which was made out of wood.
Konrad Raab: “What's that?”
Luka: “That's a snow sleigh. My parents got me it as a present yesterday.”
Brock: “That's a great present. Can I have a go in that?”
Luka: “Oh, you will today and Konrad too.”
Konrad Raab: “What does it do?”
Luka: “You will see soon enough.”
All three boys were obviously going to do something different as it was going to be away from where they played yesterday to a park around the corner from where the three boys lived. There's a mini hill on top of the park where everyone was sliding down from a small hill to the ground which can go really far to the bottom. Konrad sees from himself even before Luka slides down what a sleigh is used for.
Konrad Raab: “It looks fun, like a car going down the hill.”
Luka: “It's exactly that.”
Brock: “I cannot wait to go on this. I am going to go super fast.”
Straight away before Luka can even go on it, Brock snatches the sleigh from Luka and goes up the mini hill and sits on it before he slides down and screams in fun as Luka and Konrad watch him as it was so interesting for Konrad to see it all happening in front of his eyes, exploring new things he can do in the snow other than the things he did yesterday.
This was something special as Konrad like going fast with his cars when he plays with them in his bedroom and it seemed like he really wanted to go down like Brock did, but it was Luka's sleigh and of course, he wanted to go on it first before Konrad as he did after Brock brought it to the top and he sits in it before sliding down which went longer than Brock did.
Brock: “Doesn't that look fun?”
Konrad Raab: “I wanna go on it.”
Luka: “You're next Konrad.”
Luka only just walked over to Konrad and Brock with his wooden sleigh as it was now Konrad's turn as he flicks his hand for Konrad to come up as he does, although a bit of a struggle as he's never been up hills before, but he manages to get to the top and he looks down, pretty higher than he first thought, but heights was something Konrad never fears of as he sits in the sleigh as Luka pushes Konrad down and he says weee down the hill, enjoying the hell out of the sleigh.
He gets off, seeing the other boys playing, including his twin brother Markus having fun as well with the sleigh as Luka and Brock look at Konrad who's watching his brother as they think he knows who the big lad is as Brock says this to Konrad.
Brock: “You know one of the boys there?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes. That big guy, he's my twin brother Markus.”
Luka: “Wow, you both do look alike, I must say. Anyway, let's continue sliding down the hill.”
As they did do that all day together as a team, although Konrad wishes he had one of his own, but he only experienced going out in the snow for the first time and he loves it, especially there are so many things he can do with snow. It's something he really wants to do when he's older to take part in snow games. They went inside at twelve to get some lunch to eat before being let back out again to play which Konrad did by going on the sleigh so many times that he didn't want to stop.
Sadly it did when it was six in the evening as although everyone went inside, including his brother, Konrad wanted to stay out as he came closer to the house, leaving the park later than everyone else, he went to build a snowman outside once again. Even though dinner was ready for Konrad to eat, he didn't want to come in. In fact, Jens and Ingrid see Konrad's confidence growing a lot compared to yesterday where he refused to go out at first. Of course, the hard task was always getting Konrad to go inside as Jens went outside to talk to Konrad.
Jens Raab: “I know you like playing with snow and building snowmen, but it's time to go inside to eat.”
Konrad Raab: “I am not hungry daddy. Can I stay out for a bit longer please?”
It was still a whole new playground for Konrad as he couldn't get enough of snow, especially playing around in it as Jens nods and goes in the house to talk to Ingrid about Konrad still staying outside. For them, it was an achievement that it's clear Konrad had fallen in love on playing with snow. He finished building his snowman as Ingrid told Markus about the clock they saw from a church a few months ago, but this hadn't been told to Konrad as Jens comes out again and he says this.
Jens Raab: “Since you like going outside. You see the clock on the church over there?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
Jens Raab: “When the large hand is on twelve and the little hand is on six, that always signals for you to come in, especially hearing the bells six times for you to stop playing with your friends.”
Konrad Raab: “I want a snow sleigh for Christmas.”
That was the one thing Konrad had been meaning to talk to his parents all day was to get a snow sleigh as he enjoyed going down the hill so much, especially they knew where he'd been all day now in the park, then again Markus was also there as well but didn't play with him as Konrad found his own friends, even if it was two friends, it still didn't bother him as Jens nodded as he speaks.
Jens Raab: “That's something I can agree with. I heard you went sledding with Luka and Brock today. It's great you're enjoying the snow so much, but just remember what I said about the church clock from tomorrow onwards to come home at six. Let's go in and eat.”
Konrad nods, listening to his dad as he walks away from the snowman he built and walks with his dad in the house as he closes the door for them to eat dinner before Konrad goes upstairs to play with his cars again, although he preferred to go out to play in the snow, but it was something he could do for a couple of hours before he and Markus were called to go to bed as he places his pyjamas on before Markus comes to Konrad's room for their mother to read them a bedtime story before Markus goes to his room, while Konrad goes to his bed to sleep.

The big news phone call. Denver, Colorado. Wednesday 28th February. (Off Camera)
A few days have gone by since Adrenaline Rush had been taken out by Har Megiddo and had a lot of problems to sort out with them regarding his tag team, being the only guy who's had the guts to take them on by himself. He's just got back to his hotel room after being in the gym to work out for a few hours as he just relaxes before going to the arena to face against Edward Adams tonight. He watched some TV for a little while.
Suddenly while watching TV for forty-five minutes, a buzz vibrated in his pocket as he digs into his pocket and gets his phone out to see it was his former anger shrink when he was developing Konrad's anger from a year ago, Henry Losak. He slides the green icon button to accept the call before he places it in his ear to talk.
Konrad Raab: “Hello Henry, long time no talk.”
Henry Losak: “It has been a while. You been alright?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes I've been fine. No anger worries to concern you or anything, apart from my worries about Fizz.”
Henry Losak: “Well at least you're OK, that's the main thing. I'm sure Fizz will be alright in due time. She needs to talk to someone.”
Konrad Raab: “She is, every single Thursday to a counsellor about her suicidal attempts along with force vomiting herself as well. So, how's Markus doing these days?”
Henry Losak: “He's doing alright I guess, although the signs of him struggling are still there to cope with discovering himself, feeling scared quite a bit which is why I called you.”
It was clear as day that Konrad knew he was to blame due to not getting round to talk to him as he'd been so busy with wrestling and dealing with Fizz's problems that he barely was able to speak to his brother. It was a cause for concern as he turns the TV off, clearly talking to Henry that could very well be quite serious as he says this.
Konrad Raab: “What's he scared of?”
Henry Losak: “That's something I want him to talk to you about.”
Konrad Raab: “I also want to talk to Samuel as well as I need to give him some advice about his wrestling performance lately.”
Henry Losak: “I agree, Markus has completely given up on helping Samuel as he's not listening to him and I think he needs your guidance to gain his confidence back. Let me go down and get Markus first before I tell Samuel to talk to you.”
It did get Konrad seriously concerned on what Markus had to talk about as he could hear Henry climbing down the stairs which leads to hearing noises in the gym of men growling and beating the hell out of each other as Henry talks to Lord Raab which Konrad could hear every single word Markus was saying as well as Henry about certain results he had as he speaks.
Markus Lord Raab: “Been a while brother.”
Konrad Raab: “Indeed it has. I'm sorry I've not spo.........”
Markus Lord Raab: “Don't be because I know how busy you've been, heck you're holding two titles for god's sake. How I'm jealous of you right now.”
Konrad Raab: “It's from hard work. Henry said you need to talk to me about certain results and your fears. What's up?”
It was clear how nervous Markus was on telling Konrad about the news he had a couple of weeks ago on certain tests he had to take with somebody else as Markus didn't want to tell Konrad, but he had to as it was family related clearly as he says this.
Markus Lord Raab: “You know we talked over Christmas about doing DNA tests if Callum's my son?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes?”
Markus Lord Raab: “A couple of Tuesday's ago, the DNA tests prove that I'm Callum's natural father.”
This left Konrad in a complete utter shock, how on earth could his brother have sex with a woman? He didn't even realize he had sex before the whole incident he had. It was really remarkable and knowing why now Markus had fears even more. It was clear as Konrad says this.
Konrad Raab: “Wait, I have a nephew now?”
Markus Lord Raab: “Yes.”
Konrad Raab: “Congratulations.”
Markus Lord Raab: “But I'm failing him, Konrad. I don't know how to be a dad. Callum's doing really bad at school, not getting any grades apart from gym class and he starts fights at school. I don't know what I'm doing and don't know what to do about it.”
Konrad Raab: “Calm down. Have you and Samuel talked to teachers that he may need some extra time with them to improve grades?”
Markus Lord Raab: “No.”
Konrad Raab: “That's what you should do and also do homework with Callum as well as he needs you to help him. I think you should tell him about your days at school too how you were a bully and didn't care for school. He's going down the same path and you need to talk to Callum about how important school is and not to fight other children.”
Very good guidance from Konrad as he knows everything about being a father, he has kids with two on the way himself. Being a father was always something Konrad loved doing when he got home when he can. He knows Markus is struggling with Callum from his fit rage on the phone about how he's scared of being a parent, taking care of another life.
Markus Lord Raab: “You mean I should tell him the rights and wrongs of fighting and getting extra help to improve his grades?”
Konrad Raab: “That's right and you must punish and get Callum grounded when he has fights as well because I know Roderick and Mattheus would be punished and grounded if they start fights at school. You have Samuel to help you out and it's not an easy life being a dad, believe me, I even make mistakes still as a dad, but you must always put Callum first before yourself.”
Markus Lord Raab: “That's what I'm struggling with. I still unsure how to give Callum love as I don't know how to. He said he does fights in school because of me not loving him enough.”
Konrad Raab: “Well you really should give him a lot of hugs and kisses, telling him every single day how much you love him along with you playing with Callum as apart of love too. When you do them, he'll realize you mean it and would stop him fighting in school. You and Samuel need to step up now and you may not expect to be in this position, but I believe you can be a great father if you take slow steps on improving the mistakes you made.”
Markus knew how right Konrad was, he should've gone to him for advice a lot sooner as he listens to every word about what his brother said and it's something he even notes down in his head how he should always place Callum first and it's a talk they both needed as it's been too long they last spoke to each other.
Markus Lord Raab: “Thank you for the advice. The whole thing just scares the fuck out of me.”
Konrad Raab: “It is scary, but you and Samuel will be great parents to your son. Heck, I got something to tell you too and I only just did this on Monday.”
Markus Lord Raab: “Yeah, your wife is pregnant. I know that already.”
Konrad Raab: “I know you do, but that's not it. On Monday, I proposed to Fizz.”
Markus Lord Raab: “But you and Fizz are already married.”
Konrad Raab: “That we are, but we're going to renew our wedding vows next year. We want the whole family, including you and Samuel in the pictures. The wedding was really rushed, we got new friends now and even family members me and Fizz only recently met.”
This also shocked Markus, he had no idea Konrad was planning to involve him in the renewed wedding vows, but then again, the decision was made on Monday so he didn't miss that compared to other things he had in the past as he now says this.
Markus Lord Raab: “Wow, congratulations to both of you. When's that going to be?”
Konrad Raab: “Next year, although we don't know when or where yet, I want you and Samuel to come as it's a must for both of you to go.”
Markus Lord Raab: “We wouldn't miss that for the world. Of course, me and Samuel will come.”
Konrad nods as before Markus passes the phone to Samuel, Markus knew what's been going on in SCW lately, he's been watching the shows as he's seen a massive change to his brother lately and says this.
Markus Lord Raab: “You really have changed a lot lately, haven't you?”
Konrad Raab: “What do you mean?”
Markus Lord Raab: “Taking three people yourself with Har Megiddo. I was watching it and was like, is that Konrad finally having balls to take those three cunts on himself? Jesus Christ, I never thought I'd see the day with that.”
Konrad Raab: “Those assholes have got another thing coming tonight Markus. If they attack some innocent kid again tonight, I'm not allowing anybody from that locker room to stop me as I'll come down and beat the living shit out of them on my own without asking anyone to do it. I need to for the sake of how much destruction there is going on.”
Markus Lord Raab: “They are cowards, they pick on people because they lack the talent to beat them in matches.”
Konrad Raab: “That's exactly what they are. I know you and Samuel are monsters, but you'd never lower yourselves to attack people who aren't apart of EHWF roster. It's cowardly.”
Markus Lord Raab: “Indeed. Anyway, I let you and Samuel talk for now as I know Henry mentioned about Samuel's struggles in the ring and maybe you can knock the sense out of him on his struggles lately.”
Konrad Raab: “I will.”
Markus passes the phone to Samuel who then talks to Konrad about his struggles in wrestling lately and doing what he had to on improving in the ring along with going back to his old ways of him slipping up and not to ask or demand title shots. Once he talked to Samuel calmly, he puts the phone down as he does a few shadow punches towards the TV before he places his wrestling gear in his bag and then places it on his shoulder before double checking he had everything. Once he does, he leaves the hotel room before going straight to the arena for his match against Edward Adams and to address Har Megiddo on Breakdown tonight.

Fizz's fears with Konrad getting hurt. Anaheim, California. Monday 5th March. (Off Camera)
It's been very clear since she proposed to Konrad again last Monday that she was getting incessantly concerned about Konrad getting himself seriously beaten up a lot lately by Har Megiddo. It was something Konrad needed to address very quickly, although the pregnancy which she was up to twenty weeks at this point as it's been fun for Konrad for the first time in a very long time that he's been away from Twitter, spending time with family and Fizz.
It's been nice for Konrad to get away from tweeting about wrestling every single day, although it was apart of his job and wondering when he was going to defend his Ballroom title he recently won a few weeks ago. At the same time, there are major concerns from Fizz as they were in bed after taking care of their kids for the day as she says this.
Fizz Raab: “It scared the shit out of me when those things punched your heart. I thought oh my god, my husband's gonna die.”
Konrad Raab: “Well they aren't gonna do anything serious to me, trust me.”
Fizz Raab: “What if they do? I'm carrying your kids, we're renewing our wedding vows, I'm sick and depressed. I can't handle it.”
Konrad Raab: “Sophie said to you that you should recover and she wants to keep me from getting hurt, but I'm not allowing those people go out and attack any more people, including myself. There's no chance in hell I'm walking away from that fight.”
Although Konrad didn't have a choice, it still terrified Fizz on him getting hurt a lot more than usual. Sure, she's been a wrestler who got hurt also when she wrestled, but cos of her state of being vulnerable due to being pregnant and her mental health kinda sliding back to being quite bad, especially when she says this to him.
Fizz Raab: “After I saw you being punched very hard in your heart, I was being sick because of being so frightened of you being hurt like that. I can't live without you.”
Konrad Raab: “I have to do the match, I got no choice in the matter. I needed this kind of match for a very long time. I need to fight like my life is depended on it. Fact is and I will say this to those fucking idiots, I wanted to do it on my own. The way Adrenaline Rush, Jack Filmore, Jack Travis and those other two wrestlers got injured by Har Megiddo, nobody is doing anything to stop them.”
Fizz Raab: “I'm scared you won't wrestle ever again. You're getting older darling. That's all I'm worried about.”
Konrad Raab: “And I told you I'll be fine. Age is just a number and my heart is and will forever be beating. They don't know the meaning of having a fucking heart. Do I want to kill them? Fuck no I don't cos I'm not a heartless human being unlike them. Somebody had to put a stop to them and I will.”
Konrad speaks with anger, something Fizz loved, but wasn't in the mood for that as she's so concerned with him being hurt. Although he did have back up now with Sophie James and David Callahan having his back, it wasn't something Konrad was entirely happy with, considering how he was responsible for what damage they could suffer on the hands of Har Megiddo, wanting to solve problems by himself, but at the same time, knew that they came out because they cared about Konrad not being savagely beaten like a dog. Fizz noticed something else with Konrad as she speaks.
Fizz Raab: “Have you gone back strictly eating just protein and fat foods again?”
Konrad wasn't saying anything because he couldn't explain the answer, knowing Fizz was correct, but he didn't want to deny that, but he didn't want to lie either as it's best he didn't say anything and this was when Fizz got concerned that Konrad wasn't eating enough and possibly drinking either.
Fizz Raab: “That makes things worse with you not responding to me. You have gone back on your cutting weight diet. That's not happening.”
Konrad Raab: “But I like the diet.”
Fizz Raab: “It's not enough nutrients for you. You need plenty of food when you face Har Megiddo because you'll be beaten down by a piece broken meat if you continue. Please, don't stick to this diet as it will kill you.”
Konrad Raab: “I want to be healthy because I don't want to grow up being overweight, showing how lazy I am. I'm working my ass off and I'm sticking with it because it makes me happy.”
Fizz Raab: “But as I said, it's not enough nutrients you need in your body Konrad. I may let you do it once to lose weight, but I'm not allowing you to go any farther, especially in this situation. You need muscle for the match. Heck, you're already in danger actually of being too skinny.”
It was very true, Konrad had gotten way too skinny now which wasn't a very good thing for him at all, of course, it has been down to the stress of his wife on top of wrestling stress as well. In the past, he had been diagnosed with anorexia before because of his so strict eating habits. That's a very well known story in WEW that Konrad was sick each time he ate something.
Konrad Raab: “I'm fine.”
Fizz Raab: “No you aren't. Do you know how I can tell you're not eating enough? Having lots of food in the fridge along with the obvious of you refusing to eat. It's not hard for me to notice these things. I noticed you losing more weight than usual. I don't want you to do this to yourself.”
Konrad Raab: “Because you making yourself sick all the time on top of trying to commit suicide is something I want to happen, right?”
That's where Fizz couldn't say any more, it was very hypocritical of Fizz to mention those things to him when she wasn't any better as she cried with Konrad seeing how concerned and worried she is with her pregnancy and Konrad's life she felt was being in danger in and outside of the ring as they hug each other, knowing they are in a very rough spot.
Fizz Raab: “I'm sorry.”
Konrad Raab: “No, I'm sorry. I was acting too perfect, only you caught me out. Yes, I have been back to eating strictly on protein and fat foods. I should've told you about it.”
Fizz Raab: “We drop the subject as we both got to improve with those things.”
That was it when it came to eating diet and suicidal attempts as they aren't better than the other as Fizz still cried and hugs Konrad tightly as she was frightened of what Har Megiddo would do to him as she speaks.
Fizz Raab: “I know you're right, you need to do this survival match. Of course, if I wasn't pregnant, I would be better you know. I'm worried and scared to get a phone call, stating Konrad is dead.”
Konrad Raab: “It won't happen because Har Megiddo would be sued, fired and in prison for it if they were literally killing me. Point is I got back up now and I'm glad to be siding with them as well as Sophie and David are good people, but they know I had to attack Har Megiddo for what they did to my friends.”
Fizz Raab: “I know and your right, you won't be killed literally, I just don't want you to miss the birth of our twin boys cos your in a different h..........”
Konrad Raab: “I know, but I have to. I'm gonna arrange to do some survival fighting on Saturday with an army force so I know what to do. I've never been in a situation where I had to earn by surviving a fight with Har Megiddo a match against Damien Angel. Never been in a fight for survival in my entire life.”
It was very true, apart from being in the army just for a short time, he'd never got as far as fighting for his life. He knew it was a very big matchup for him to overcome and the survival fighting training would be something he'd do to take leaps beyond what anybody in SCW or wrestling company for that matter would do. Fizz knew he had been right as well that he's never taken part in anything like that as she cuddles up to his chest, placing her ear to his heart to see if his heartbeats are fine which they were as she says this.
Fizz Raab: “No you haven't, but I know you can survive. It's a big test for you, but you, Sophie and David can do it.”
Konrad Raab: “This match is much bigger than a title match. It's not just about Adrenaline Rush, it's about me as well to earn that match and I will earn it by doing everything I can, even if it means I may have to use weapons, despite me hating the whole idea of it on top of violence.”
Fizz Raab: “But your heart and passion you have for seeking revenge is higher than usual and I know you can do it. Do me one favour though.”
Konrad Raab: “What?”
Fizz Raab: “Don't beat yourself up if you resort using weapons and being violent as it's necessary for this match as it's a way of you trying anything you can to survive. That's what it's all about and I think Olek is helping you feel comfortable on being in this situation, being out of your comfort zone.”
Konrad Raab: “I won't because I'm doing it for Tyler, Craig, Jack, Eric, those kids I had to protect and most importantly, myself. In a way doing it for Sophie and David too.”
Fizz knew Konrad had got the idea, despite being so scared of the situation Konrad's in, especially it was the wrong time to do so, but Fizz even sees the benefit to the match to improve Konrad being comfortable in dangerous situations as she immediately fell asleep without saying anything else as she was extremely tired due to being pregnant with twins as he slowly gets her off his chest before placing a duvet on his body, turning the light off from above their bed as he then falls asleep after he turned the lights off.

Survival fighting training. San Antonio, Texas. Saturday 10th March. (Off Camera)
It's been an extremely hot day in San Antonio where Konrad is learning how to survive in a fight as he's never been in any sort of fight, even if he won't literally get killed that the stacks have raised up a lot since he was told he had to survive against Har Megiddo to earn his match against Damien Angel. It's been extremely tough for him as he had to even learn the chokehold how to get out of that. It was mostly moves than weapons he's been doing in an army field of battle far from where his hotel is.
He knew he'd never gone through anything like it before as the army cadets force Konrad to show anger towards them, pushing him to fight a lot, even doing the one thing Konrad could see himself doing but would feel bad about it, breaking the rules. The odds of him surviving were very low if he didn't go through the training he's doing right now.
The downside is he lacks aggression which was always a problem when he didn't wear that mask. He was at a point of giving up when Konrad isn't delivering to the army officer's expectations, but it was clear he didn't come just because he was good at it, it was a major struggle as the officer shouts at Konrad.
Army Officer: “You can't quit from this. Do you want Har Megiddo to rip you apart, leaving you for dead?”
Konrad Raab: “NO SIR.”
Army Officer: “Then show that aggression, show how you're willing to protect yourself from being in danger you cannot run from. You break the fucking rules, Konrad. You hurt, hit, punch, kick, do anything possible to survive.”
Konrad follows the commend as they were encouraging him, reminding him all the time why he had to go through survival fighting training as he was near enough allowing himself to get destroyed. It wasn't something Konrad was wanting to do by any means, but he immediately sat down and had flashbacks of Har Megiddo punishing and beating the hell out of Tyler and Craig, along with Jack Travis and Eric Fillmore being in the hospital and seeing a kid thrown off stage.
He allowed it to sink in until he fought back, screaming and shouting along with vicious punches and kicks as the cadets around him did attack him, but Konrad was strong enough to use a headbutt on the officer along with doing some form of wrestling moves, only one of the cadets got behind Konrad for a chokehold which he struggles to get out of which wasn't a problem usually, but it's a very different situation where Konrad had to find other ways to get out, but he did by using elbows and the cadet had no choice, but to let go.
Konrad then locked in the chokehold with the cadet in front of him by grabbing his shirt collar and placing his arm on the shirt collar, making an x symbol with his other arm before the opponent goes down on his knees as the officer says this.
Army Officer: “That's it, I knew you had it in you, Konrad. All of those things are very important for you to do to get yourself out of danger and most importantly, save your own life you feel like you're in.”
Konrad sees the cadet was unconscious now from the amount of squeezing he did and he would usually feel bad, but he knew he wouldn't feel bad or down on what he'll do to Har Megiddo. There was of course more than one person to survive as some of the cadets could do wrestling moves and they did them on Konrad, throwing him around like a rag doll which are much bigger than him, kicking, punching, even biting and trying to gouge on Konrad's eye.
They even kicked and punched his vital parts of his back, even being choked from the ground as it was a matter of survival as Konrad was struggling, couldn't do anything to get out as he wasn't moving for a bit until the officer says this.
Army Officer: “Get your ass up Konrad. Don't ever allow Behemoth, Malphas and Kali think they've won the war because you're unable to break some fucking rules. They will batter you with weapons, they will hurt you in any way you can so you won't ever get the match with Damien Angel and you won't ever see your two sons growing up. Do something.”
Once the unborn sons were mentioned, that was the notion on top of everything the officer said as Konrad although is very uncomfortable of doing things that are against the wrestling rules, actually does bite, gouge and even tries to choke the life out of the cadet. Once he got up, he uses many types of punches that were very hard with jabs, uppercuts, hooks and even cross punch to get everyone down.
Konrad goes to the ground and kicks very viciously towards the cadet's back as the officer applauds Konrad for getting that aggression, although still waiting for Konrad to do some biting which at that point comes as Konrad does bite one of the cadet's face and tries to poke him in the eye as much as he hates doing it.
Army Officer: “That's it, you got the idea now after training your ass for four hours. Show Behemoth, Malphas and Kali no mercy when you do all of those things, including weapons they'll likely brutalize you with. They punched your heart because you allowed it to happen, make sure that shit doesn't happen again, make sure they don't attack any more vital parts, you hear me?”
Konrad continued to fight as he wanted to make sure all the damage was done, training for his important fight so far this year. He was told by a fellow cadet to stop fighting as four hours was enough as the Army Officer said it again.
Army Officer: “Did you hear what I said?”
Konrad Raab: “YES SIR.”
Army Officer: “What did I say?”
Konrad Raab: “Show no mercy to my opponents and to protect my heart and my spine of my back.”
Army Officer: “Good work. We'll be watching your match tomorrow night to see what you'll do in the match and do everything possible to do these techniques, even if you have two other people in the match with you, you are more important to be attacked and destroyed. Remember that.”
Konrad nodded as he was clearly out of breath from the training he done today, clearly being a very different form of workout as the cadets already gave Konrad water which he sits down on the bench and takes the lid off to drink quite a bit as he felt like he was going to push himself through the match to survive and outlast Har Megiddo. One of the cadets named Darren was a huge wrestling fan and was honoured to have fought with Konrad today as he says this.
Darren: “I've been watching SCW shows a lot and I think it's fantastic to see you stand up against those monsters when nobody else has the balls to.”
Konrad Raab: “I won't allow anybody get away on attacking my friends the way they did on top of injuring many other wrestlers as well because they want to hurt people. The survival training was to prevent me from being violent.”
Darren: “That's correct. You're a very strong guy, believe me when I say that because there's nothing more you want right now than to fight them in the ring. I see it in your eyes how much the match means to you.”
Konrad Raab: “Means a whole damn lot, especially I've only just got rid of my fears of being violent with wrestlers last year. This match is much bigger than a title match even because I got to prove to everyone I can outlast these so-called monsters when they aren't as deadly and dangerous as they think they are, trust me.”
Darren: “I can tell. Before you leave, may I have your autograph?”
Konrad smiles as the entire time he's been a wrestler, he's never refused to sign autograph and take pictures with fans, even in the middle of his work out, he'd gladly stop and sign because a hard worker he might be, but he never wants to come across of an asshole and disrespectful. He has pictures with other cadets and the main army officer as well before he leaves the army field and he catches a bus that goes near to his hotel before going in the gym for a few hours to work out his stamina mostly before he goes to his hotel room to rest for the day. After he watched a bit of TV, he opens up his laptop and goes on a live stream on youtube to say a few words about the match.
------------------------------------------------
First ever match in my life where I'm fighting for my life/earning my right to face Damien Angel youtube.com shoot. (On Camera)
“Finally, I'm able to get my hands on three guys who've been causing nothing, but hell on wrestlers they shouldn't start fights with, in the first place Har Megiddo. They act like nearly half of the roster in SCW, being all about hurting and punishing people which is all they've been doing since they started attacking Sisterhood and especially Adrenaline Rush. They think they can do that and get away with it?
How wrong they were when I'm the only member of the roster who had the balls on saving one of the wrestlers from being even more hurt. Of course, I couldn't save Jack Travis or Eric Fillmore when they attacked them because I would've been out for the Trios tournament, but I have saved a wrestler a couple of weeks ago from being hurt even more because I care so much about other people.
You have caused nothing, but hell since you come here and they feel they can make people be afraid of them? Nope, I don't fear them one single bit because they are nothing more than cowards who do ambushes because they can't fight me by themselves that they gather around and beat the shit out of me which granted they did, but I stood up to all of you, didn't I?
Sure, you've had one win against Jack Travis and Eric Fillmore which I will have them coming down to my school when they are better because unlike you heartless assholes, I want to make them better wrestlers and you better watch out because they will be back, but only I will do the damage their parents want me to do, something I hate doing, causing violence on you. Saying this, that's exactly what the match is about, isn't it? Surviving against you cowards and that's perfectly fine because I much prefer to earn my way for matches than being handed them on a plate so that's not the major concern for me.
What is, however, is the crystal ice you sparked up in me on wanting to do nothing more, than to literally hurt you fuckers. You have no remorse for what you've done to Adrenaline Rush because of course, I wasn't gonna be a coward and run away from this fight, I won't because I stand for my friends who've been there for me all the way and helped me out so it's time I helped them out.
I know you're even thinking right now that I asked for help when it comes to Sophie and David. I didn't. I wanted to tackle you three on my own, but they came out because they wanted to, not me asking them to. I wanted to even have a two on one handicap match because unlike you guys, I have more balls than anybody to take you on by myself.
I don't care what it takes, but I've gone through a lot of survival training today to prepare for what awaits me and I can defend anything you'll throw at me. There's nothing more I want than to teach you three how to respect this business which I guarantee you haven't done anything to make people fear you. It's an act of being a bunch of bitches who are too scared to fight by themselves.
I wasn't, but seeing how I got along so well with Sophie and David, they came to honestly teach you guys a lesson too, but I know you won't give a fuck about them because I know what your purpose is, it's to destroy me and put me on the injured list, but that's in your own world of dreaming about it because I'm far stronger and harder to take down because I have the will and passion to take each one of you out.
I got a major frostbite I want to unleash on all of you because I'm not afraid of surviving fights, considering I've been doing that for the last few months now, but I gained a lot of experience out of what I've done today and even in the violent matches I've been in elsewhere. I have grown and evolved from it. What a perfect name for this PPV on seeking Retribution because that's exactly what this match involves, seeking retribution for the injuries you've caused on five wrestlers.
That's gonna come to a stop because I will do everything possible to outlast minutes of being in the match against the so-called monsters who are nasty human beings, but when it comes to in-ring ability, despite the win they got, it makes them cowards and cowards along with hurting and showing dominance eventually comes to an end. Dominating matches isn't impressive, especially the way you want to break people's bones or in my case, nearly costing my life when you attacked my heart.
Well, my heart is still beating and it will forever beat until I rip all of you apart and Sophie along with David are helping me to do it. It even makes me want to win this match because of how frosted up I am to take you out to stop hurting members of this roster and be ready to face the cowardly leader you guys have because you can't follow your own lead and be beaten down like you won't be able to fight because the way I'm feeling, I want to hurt you and if it means me defending myself with violence and weapons, by all means, I allow it because I will show Behemoth, Malphas and Kali how bad I want to fight Damien Angel.
I even feel I must win because this is the biggest match of my life. It's even bigger than all title matches I've ever done because I'm fighting for my life and I will survive because my heart is stronger than any of you have and I'm mentally stronger than I've ever been in my entire life because you made me and that's gonna be a major downfall for you guys to not be able to handle a man who's got no fear from you both and fears no danger of his life being at risk from you idiots because I will overcome the three of you and I will do everything possible, even limits I won't break to face Damien because the power of will is right there and everyone will see a whole new Iceman Raab tomorrow night.
You won't take this from me and everyone will see what Retribution awaits for you bitches and tomorrow night in San Antonio, Texas, everyone will see me being the man standing in the ring with a match against Damien Angel waiting for me to beat the living crap out of. I'll use my iced fists and my iced boot in your mouths and in your bodies to a point you'll be frozen for good. David and Sophie also are in the match because they want to prove themselves as a team they are, but I'm here to give you guys payback cos as the saying goes, payback is a fucking bitch.
I was very close to bringing out The Black Ice, but I made a promise to Adrenaline Rush I will use my normal side for this match to beat you fuckers down to the ground and then get my match and hands-on Damien Angel will do me a lot of good, especially when we'll win this match with our hands raised in the middle of the ring and move forward to other goals or move forward to a match with Damien and I will be ready for you Damien. Don't run away when I'll survive cos you'll have nowhere to run to.
Be prepared for a world you've triggered with the ice storm coming at you because you'll see a whole load of difference and you all are gonna wish you haven't done so. Tomorrow night, you'll prepare yourselves to be Iceinated by The Motor City Bitch, Callahan and The Iceman.”
It was seven in the morning in the Raab household where everybody, but Konrad was up as he was still asleep from the tiring day he had yesterday. He potentially made two friends yesterday while just being out in the snow. As everyone sat around the table, Jens noticed Konrad wasn't downstairs yet. Of course, Ingrid knew it was exhausting day mentally for Konrad to talk as much as he did along with exploring the good outdoors. It was snowing again as it was something Konrad's going to love a lot. Markus his brother was more of a summer person as he loved hot temperatures and being burnt on his skin. Ingrid knew it was time Konrad got up from his sleep as she shouts.
Ingrid Raab: “KONRAD.”
Konrad was still asleep as one thing they knew about their son as he's a very heavy sleeper as Jens decided to go upstairs to Konrad's bedroom and goes in to wake him up as he throws the duvet on the floor and opens the curtains. Of course, Konrad rubs his eyes to wake up and sits up on the bed as he's right near the window and says this.
Konrad Raab: “YAY, more snow for me to play.”
Jens Raab: “Not yet son. Eat your breakfast first.”
That's a good point by his dad, Konrad got so excited by snow that he barely realized he wasn't fully dressed to go out and play in the snow once again. He watches snow for quite sometime after Jens left him. Of course, he was seeing some kids outside, having snowball fights and generally having fun, especially he saw children sliding in the snow.
It took a while for Konrad to come downstairs as Jens went back up again as it was fifteen minutes since he woke him up and still hadn't come down to eat breakfast. It was something that fascinated Konrad a lot to see snow falling down, being something he'd enjoyed a lot yesterday as Jens came towards Konrad and says this.
Jens Raab: “Come on Konrad, come down and eat your breakfast right now.”
Instead, Konrad continues to watch the snow, without realizing he had to eat Frosties for breakfast as he immediately sees Konrad not listening as he still continues to watch the snow as Jens says this.
Jens Raab: “If you don't eat breakfast, you won't go outside today.”
When he said that, Konrad responded quickly, sighing as he enjoys watching the snow and other children playing in the snow a lot. He got up from his bed and walks downstairs to the living room to eat his Frosties as he still looks at the snow as the tiny window was opposite where he was sitting, looking at the snow. He rushes his Frosties down his stomach, although his parents see Konrad eating way too fast.
Ingrid Raab: “Slow down Konrad, we don't want you to get sick.”
Konrad did slow down to eat as he was just dying to go out in the snow once again as he does. Markus was already going outside since he ate his breakfast earlier and ready to step outdoors and closes the door behind him. Konrad, on the other hand, ate his breakfast as he then finishes five minutes after just sitting down, eating fast when he shouldn't have been. He rushes upstairs, getting himself washed before Jens gets out clothes for Konrad to wear as Konrad wasn't very good at matching clothes correctly, especially how excited he is to go out in the snow. He places Konrad's clothes on his bed along with his underwear before Konrad goes into his room and places clothes on as he rushes them on, although his jumper was inside out as he took it off to turn it around.
Once he did that, he completely forgot about his cars and rushes straight downstairs as Konrad's mum knows Konrad was dying to get outside, only she says this to him.
Ingrid Raab: “Two young boys are waiting for you.”
Konrad Raab: “Luka and Brock?”
Ingrid Raab: “Yes.”
This really urged Konrad on as he quickly places his hat, coat, scarf, and gloves on as he steps outdoors and closes it, barely wanting to say goodbye to his parents as he wanted to get stuck right in with his new hobby of playing with ice. They walked away from Konrad's house as Konrad closed his ears on the screeching noise he heard from Luka as he looks down to see something he hadn't seen before which was made out of wood.
Konrad Raab: “What's that?”
Luka: “That's a snow sleigh. My parents got me it as a present yesterday.”
Brock: “That's a great present. Can I have a go in that?”
Luka: “Oh, you will today and Konrad too.”
Konrad Raab: “What does it do?”
Luka: “You will see soon enough.”
All three boys were obviously going to do something different as it was going to be away from where they played yesterday to a park around the corner from where the three boys lived. There's a mini hill on top of the park where everyone was sliding down from a small hill to the ground which can go really far to the bottom. Konrad sees from himself even before Luka slides down what a sleigh is used for.
Konrad Raab: “It looks fun, like a car going down the hill.”
Luka: “It's exactly that.”
Brock: “I cannot wait to go on this. I am going to go super fast.”
Straight away before Luka can even go on it, Brock snatches the sleigh from Luka and goes up the mini hill and sits on it before he slides down and screams in fun as Luka and Konrad watch him as it was so interesting for Konrad to see it all happening in front of his eyes, exploring new things he can do in the snow other than the things he did yesterday.
This was something special as Konrad like going fast with his cars when he plays with them in his bedroom and it seemed like he really wanted to go down like Brock did, but it was Luka's sleigh and of course, he wanted to go on it first before Konrad as he did after Brock brought it to the top and he sits in it before sliding down which went longer than Brock did.
Brock: “Doesn't that look fun?”
Konrad Raab: “I wanna go on it.”
Luka: “You're next Konrad.”
Luka only just walked over to Konrad and Brock with his wooden sleigh as it was now Konrad's turn as he flicks his hand for Konrad to come up as he does, although a bit of a struggle as he's never been up hills before, but he manages to get to the top and he looks down, pretty higher than he first thought, but heights was something Konrad never fears of as he sits in the sleigh as Luka pushes Konrad down and he says weee down the hill, enjoying the hell out of the sleigh.
He gets off, seeing the other boys playing, including his twin brother Markus having fun as well with the sleigh as Luka and Brock look at Konrad who's watching his brother as they think he knows who the big lad is as Brock says this to Konrad.
Brock: “You know one of the boys there?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes. That big guy, he's my twin brother Markus.”
Luka: “Wow, you both do look alike, I must say. Anyway, let's continue sliding down the hill.”
As they did do that all day together as a team, although Konrad wishes he had one of his own, but he only experienced going out in the snow for the first time and he loves it, especially there are so many things he can do with snow. It's something he really wants to do when he's older to take part in snow games. They went inside at twelve to get some lunch to eat before being let back out again to play which Konrad did by going on the sleigh so many times that he didn't want to stop.
Sadly it did when it was six in the evening as although everyone went inside, including his brother, Konrad wanted to stay out as he came closer to the house, leaving the park later than everyone else, he went to build a snowman outside once again. Even though dinner was ready for Konrad to eat, he didn't want to come in. In fact, Jens and Ingrid see Konrad's confidence growing a lot compared to yesterday where he refused to go out at first. Of course, the hard task was always getting Konrad to go inside as Jens went outside to talk to Konrad.
Jens Raab: “I know you like playing with snow and building snowmen, but it's time to go inside to eat.”
Konrad Raab: “I am not hungry daddy. Can I stay out for a bit longer please?”
It was still a whole new playground for Konrad as he couldn't get enough of snow, especially playing around in it as Jens nods and goes in the house to talk to Ingrid about Konrad still staying outside. For them, it was an achievement that it's clear Konrad had fallen in love on playing with snow. He finished building his snowman as Ingrid told Markus about the clock they saw from a church a few months ago, but this hadn't been told to Konrad as Jens comes out again and he says this.
Jens Raab: “Since you like going outside. You see the clock on the church over there?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes.”
Jens Raab: “When the large hand is on twelve and the little hand is on six, that always signals for you to come in, especially hearing the bells six times for you to stop playing with your friends.”
Konrad Raab: “I want a snow sleigh for Christmas.”
That was the one thing Konrad had been meaning to talk to his parents all day was to get a snow sleigh as he enjoyed going down the hill so much, especially they knew where he'd been all day now in the park, then again Markus was also there as well but didn't play with him as Konrad found his own friends, even if it was two friends, it still didn't bother him as Jens nodded as he speaks.
Jens Raab: “That's something I can agree with. I heard you went sledding with Luka and Brock today. It's great you're enjoying the snow so much, but just remember what I said about the church clock from tomorrow onwards to come home at six. Let's go in and eat.”
Konrad nods, listening to his dad as he walks away from the snowman he built and walks with his dad in the house as he closes the door for them to eat dinner before Konrad goes upstairs to play with his cars again, although he preferred to go out to play in the snow, but it was something he could do for a couple of hours before he and Markus were called to go to bed as he places his pyjamas on before Markus comes to Konrad's room for their mother to read them a bedtime story before Markus goes to his room, while Konrad goes to his bed to sleep.

The big news phone call. Denver, Colorado. Wednesday 28th February. (Off Camera)
A few days have gone by since Adrenaline Rush had been taken out by Har Megiddo and had a lot of problems to sort out with them regarding his tag team, being the only guy who's had the guts to take them on by himself. He's just got back to his hotel room after being in the gym to work out for a few hours as he just relaxes before going to the arena to face against Edward Adams tonight. He watched some TV for a little while.
Suddenly while watching TV for forty-five minutes, a buzz vibrated in his pocket as he digs into his pocket and gets his phone out to see it was his former anger shrink when he was developing Konrad's anger from a year ago, Henry Losak. He slides the green icon button to accept the call before he places it in his ear to talk.
Konrad Raab: “Hello Henry, long time no talk.”
Henry Losak: “It has been a while. You been alright?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes I've been fine. No anger worries to concern you or anything, apart from my worries about Fizz.”
Henry Losak: “Well at least you're OK, that's the main thing. I'm sure Fizz will be alright in due time. She needs to talk to someone.”
Konrad Raab: “She is, every single Thursday to a counsellor about her suicidal attempts along with force vomiting herself as well. So, how's Markus doing these days?”
Henry Losak: “He's doing alright I guess, although the signs of him struggling are still there to cope with discovering himself, feeling scared quite a bit which is why I called you.”
It was clear as day that Konrad knew he was to blame due to not getting round to talk to him as he'd been so busy with wrestling and dealing with Fizz's problems that he barely was able to speak to his brother. It was a cause for concern as he turns the TV off, clearly talking to Henry that could very well be quite serious as he says this.
Konrad Raab: “What's he scared of?”
Henry Losak: “That's something I want him to talk to you about.”
Konrad Raab: “I also want to talk to Samuel as well as I need to give him some advice about his wrestling performance lately.”
Henry Losak: “I agree, Markus has completely given up on helping Samuel as he's not listening to him and I think he needs your guidance to gain his confidence back. Let me go down and get Markus first before I tell Samuel to talk to you.”
It did get Konrad seriously concerned on what Markus had to talk about as he could hear Henry climbing down the stairs which leads to hearing noises in the gym of men growling and beating the hell out of each other as Henry talks to Lord Raab which Konrad could hear every single word Markus was saying as well as Henry about certain results he had as he speaks.
Markus Lord Raab: “Been a while brother.”
Konrad Raab: “Indeed it has. I'm sorry I've not spo.........”
Markus Lord Raab: “Don't be because I know how busy you've been, heck you're holding two titles for god's sake. How I'm jealous of you right now.”
Konrad Raab: “It's from hard work. Henry said you need to talk to me about certain results and your fears. What's up?”
It was clear how nervous Markus was on telling Konrad about the news he had a couple of weeks ago on certain tests he had to take with somebody else as Markus didn't want to tell Konrad, but he had to as it was family related clearly as he says this.
Markus Lord Raab: “You know we talked over Christmas about doing DNA tests if Callum's my son?”
Konrad Raab: “Yes?”
Markus Lord Raab: “A couple of Tuesday's ago, the DNA tests prove that I'm Callum's natural father.”
This left Konrad in a complete utter shock, how on earth could his brother have sex with a woman? He didn't even realize he had sex before the whole incident he had. It was really remarkable and knowing why now Markus had fears even more. It was clear as Konrad says this.
Konrad Raab: “Wait, I have a nephew now?”
Markus Lord Raab: “Yes.”
Konrad Raab: “Congratulations.”
Markus Lord Raab: “But I'm failing him, Konrad. I don't know how to be a dad. Callum's doing really bad at school, not getting any grades apart from gym class and he starts fights at school. I don't know what I'm doing and don't know what to do about it.”
Konrad Raab: “Calm down. Have you and Samuel talked to teachers that he may need some extra time with them to improve grades?”
Markus Lord Raab: “No.”
Konrad Raab: “That's what you should do and also do homework with Callum as well as he needs you to help him. I think you should tell him about your days at school too how you were a bully and didn't care for school. He's going down the same path and you need to talk to Callum about how important school is and not to fight other children.”
Very good guidance from Konrad as he knows everything about being a father, he has kids with two on the way himself. Being a father was always something Konrad loved doing when he got home when he can. He knows Markus is struggling with Callum from his fit rage on the phone about how he's scared of being a parent, taking care of another life.
Markus Lord Raab: “You mean I should tell him the rights and wrongs of fighting and getting extra help to improve his grades?”
Konrad Raab: “That's right and you must punish and get Callum grounded when he has fights as well because I know Roderick and Mattheus would be punished and grounded if they start fights at school. You have Samuel to help you out and it's not an easy life being a dad, believe me, I even make mistakes still as a dad, but you must always put Callum first before yourself.”
Markus Lord Raab: “That's what I'm struggling with. I still unsure how to give Callum love as I don't know how to. He said he does fights in school because of me not loving him enough.”
Konrad Raab: “Well you really should give him a lot of hugs and kisses, telling him every single day how much you love him along with you playing with Callum as apart of love too. When you do them, he'll realize you mean it and would stop him fighting in school. You and Samuel need to step up now and you may not expect to be in this position, but I believe you can be a great father if you take slow steps on improving the mistakes you made.”
Markus knew how right Konrad was, he should've gone to him for advice a lot sooner as he listens to every word about what his brother said and it's something he even notes down in his head how he should always place Callum first and it's a talk they both needed as it's been too long they last spoke to each other.
Markus Lord Raab: “Thank you for the advice. The whole thing just scares the fuck out of me.”
Konrad Raab: “It is scary, but you and Samuel will be great parents to your son. Heck, I got something to tell you too and I only just did this on Monday.”
Markus Lord Raab: “Yeah, your wife is pregnant. I know that already.”
Konrad Raab: “I know you do, but that's not it. On Monday, I proposed to Fizz.”
Markus Lord Raab: “But you and Fizz are already married.”
Konrad Raab: “That we are, but we're going to renew our wedding vows next year. We want the whole family, including you and Samuel in the pictures. The wedding was really rushed, we got new friends now and even family members me and Fizz only recently met.”
This also shocked Markus, he had no idea Konrad was planning to involve him in the renewed wedding vows, but then again, the decision was made on Monday so he didn't miss that compared to other things he had in the past as he now says this.
Markus Lord Raab: “Wow, congratulations to both of you. When's that going to be?”
Konrad Raab: “Next year, although we don't know when or where yet, I want you and Samuel to come as it's a must for both of you to go.”
Markus Lord Raab: “We wouldn't miss that for the world. Of course, me and Samuel will come.”
Konrad nods as before Markus passes the phone to Samuel, Markus knew what's been going on in SCW lately, he's been watching the shows as he's seen a massive change to his brother lately and says this.
Markus Lord Raab: “You really have changed a lot lately, haven't you?”
Konrad Raab: “What do you mean?”
Markus Lord Raab: “Taking three people yourself with Har Megiddo. I was watching it and was like, is that Konrad finally having balls to take those three cunts on himself? Jesus Christ, I never thought I'd see the day with that.”
Konrad Raab: “Those assholes have got another thing coming tonight Markus. If they attack some innocent kid again tonight, I'm not allowing anybody from that locker room to stop me as I'll come down and beat the living shit out of them on my own without asking anyone to do it. I need to for the sake of how much destruction there is going on.”
Markus Lord Raab: “They are cowards, they pick on people because they lack the talent to beat them in matches.”
Konrad Raab: “That's exactly what they are. I know you and Samuel are monsters, but you'd never lower yourselves to attack people who aren't apart of EHWF roster. It's cowardly.”
Markus Lord Raab: “Indeed. Anyway, I let you and Samuel talk for now as I know Henry mentioned about Samuel's struggles in the ring and maybe you can knock the sense out of him on his struggles lately.”
Konrad Raab: “I will.”
Markus passes the phone to Samuel who then talks to Konrad about his struggles in wrestling lately and doing what he had to on improving in the ring along with going back to his old ways of him slipping up and not to ask or demand title shots. Once he talked to Samuel calmly, he puts the phone down as he does a few shadow punches towards the TV before he places his wrestling gear in his bag and then places it on his shoulder before double checking he had everything. Once he does, he leaves the hotel room before going straight to the arena for his match against Edward Adams and to address Har Megiddo on Breakdown tonight.
----------------------------------------------------------
Fizz's fears with Konrad getting hurt. Anaheim, California. Monday 5th March. (Off Camera)
It's been very clear since she proposed to Konrad again last Monday that she was getting incessantly concerned about Konrad getting himself seriously beaten up a lot lately by Har Megiddo. It was something Konrad needed to address very quickly, although the pregnancy which she was up to twenty weeks at this point as it's been fun for Konrad for the first time in a very long time that he's been away from Twitter, spending time with family and Fizz.
It's been nice for Konrad to get away from tweeting about wrestling every single day, although it was apart of his job and wondering when he was going to defend his Ballroom title he recently won a few weeks ago. At the same time, there are major concerns from Fizz as they were in bed after taking care of their kids for the day as she says this.
Fizz Raab: “It scared the shit out of me when those things punched your heart. I thought oh my god, my husband's gonna die.”
Konrad Raab: “Well they aren't gonna do anything serious to me, trust me.”
Fizz Raab: “What if they do? I'm carrying your kids, we're renewing our wedding vows, I'm sick and depressed. I can't handle it.”
Konrad Raab: “Sophie said to you that you should recover and she wants to keep me from getting hurt, but I'm not allowing those people go out and attack any more people, including myself. There's no chance in hell I'm walking away from that fight.”
Although Konrad didn't have a choice, it still terrified Fizz on him getting hurt a lot more than usual. Sure, she's been a wrestler who got hurt also when she wrestled, but cos of her state of being vulnerable due to being pregnant and her mental health kinda sliding back to being quite bad, especially when she says this to him.
Fizz Raab: “After I saw you being punched very hard in your heart, I was being sick because of being so frightened of you being hurt like that. I can't live without you.”
Konrad Raab: “I have to do the match, I got no choice in the matter. I needed this kind of match for a very long time. I need to fight like my life is depended on it. Fact is and I will say this to those fucking idiots, I wanted to do it on my own. The way Adrenaline Rush, Jack Filmore, Jack Travis and those other two wrestlers got injured by Har Megiddo, nobody is doing anything to stop them.”
Fizz Raab: “I'm scared you won't wrestle ever again. You're getting older darling. That's all I'm worried about.”
Konrad Raab: “And I told you I'll be fine. Age is just a number and my heart is and will forever be beating. They don't know the meaning of having a fucking heart. Do I want to kill them? Fuck no I don't cos I'm not a heartless human being unlike them. Somebody had to put a stop to them and I will.”
Konrad speaks with anger, something Fizz loved, but wasn't in the mood for that as she's so concerned with him being hurt. Although he did have back up now with Sophie James and David Callahan having his back, it wasn't something Konrad was entirely happy with, considering how he was responsible for what damage they could suffer on the hands of Har Megiddo, wanting to solve problems by himself, but at the same time, knew that they came out because they cared about Konrad not being savagely beaten like a dog. Fizz noticed something else with Konrad as she speaks.
Fizz Raab: “Have you gone back strictly eating just protein and fat foods again?”
Konrad wasn't saying anything because he couldn't explain the answer, knowing Fizz was correct, but he didn't want to deny that, but he didn't want to lie either as it's best he didn't say anything and this was when Fizz got concerned that Konrad wasn't eating enough and possibly drinking either.
Fizz Raab: “That makes things worse with you not responding to me. You have gone back on your cutting weight diet. That's not happening.”
Konrad Raab: “But I like the diet.”
Fizz Raab: “It's not enough nutrients for you. You need plenty of food when you face Har Megiddo because you'll be beaten down by a piece broken meat if you continue. Please, don't stick to this diet as it will kill you.”
Konrad Raab: “I want to be healthy because I don't want to grow up being overweight, showing how lazy I am. I'm working my ass off and I'm sticking with it because it makes me happy.”
Fizz Raab: “But as I said, it's not enough nutrients you need in your body Konrad. I may let you do it once to lose weight, but I'm not allowing you to go any farther, especially in this situation. You need muscle for the match. Heck, you're already in danger actually of being too skinny.”
It was very true, Konrad had gotten way too skinny now which wasn't a very good thing for him at all, of course, it has been down to the stress of his wife on top of wrestling stress as well. In the past, he had been diagnosed with anorexia before because of his so strict eating habits. That's a very well known story in WEW that Konrad was sick each time he ate something.
Konrad Raab: “I'm fine.”
Fizz Raab: “No you aren't. Do you know how I can tell you're not eating enough? Having lots of food in the fridge along with the obvious of you refusing to eat. It's not hard for me to notice these things. I noticed you losing more weight than usual. I don't want you to do this to yourself.”
Konrad Raab: “Because you making yourself sick all the time on top of trying to commit suicide is something I want to happen, right?”
That's where Fizz couldn't say any more, it was very hypocritical of Fizz to mention those things to him when she wasn't any better as she cried with Konrad seeing how concerned and worried she is with her pregnancy and Konrad's life she felt was being in danger in and outside of the ring as they hug each other, knowing they are in a very rough spot.
Fizz Raab: “I'm sorry.”
Konrad Raab: “No, I'm sorry. I was acting too perfect, only you caught me out. Yes, I have been back to eating strictly on protein and fat foods. I should've told you about it.”
Fizz Raab: “We drop the subject as we both got to improve with those things.”
That was it when it came to eating diet and suicidal attempts as they aren't better than the other as Fizz still cried and hugs Konrad tightly as she was frightened of what Har Megiddo would do to him as she speaks.
Fizz Raab: “I know you're right, you need to do this survival match. Of course, if I wasn't pregnant, I would be better you know. I'm worried and scared to get a phone call, stating Konrad is dead.”
Konrad Raab: “It won't happen because Har Megiddo would be sued, fired and in prison for it if they were literally killing me. Point is I got back up now and I'm glad to be siding with them as well as Sophie and David are good people, but they know I had to attack Har Megiddo for what they did to my friends.”
Fizz Raab: “I know and your right, you won't be killed literally, I just don't want you to miss the birth of our twin boys cos your in a different h..........”
Konrad Raab: “I know, but I have to. I'm gonna arrange to do some survival fighting on Saturday with an army force so I know what to do. I've never been in a situation where I had to earn by surviving a fight with Har Megiddo a match against Damien Angel. Never been in a fight for survival in my entire life.”
It was very true, apart from being in the army just for a short time, he'd never got as far as fighting for his life. He knew it was a very big matchup for him to overcome and the survival fighting training would be something he'd do to take leaps beyond what anybody in SCW or wrestling company for that matter would do. Fizz knew he had been right as well that he's never taken part in anything like that as she cuddles up to his chest, placing her ear to his heart to see if his heartbeats are fine which they were as she says this.
Fizz Raab: “No you haven't, but I know you can survive. It's a big test for you, but you, Sophie and David can do it.”
Konrad Raab: “This match is much bigger than a title match. It's not just about Adrenaline Rush, it's about me as well to earn that match and I will earn it by doing everything I can, even if it means I may have to use weapons, despite me hating the whole idea of it on top of violence.”
Fizz Raab: “But your heart and passion you have for seeking revenge is higher than usual and I know you can do it. Do me one favour though.”
Konrad Raab: “What?”
Fizz Raab: “Don't beat yourself up if you resort using weapons and being violent as it's necessary for this match as it's a way of you trying anything you can to survive. That's what it's all about and I think Olek is helping you feel comfortable on being in this situation, being out of your comfort zone.”
Konrad Raab: “I won't because I'm doing it for Tyler, Craig, Jack, Eric, those kids I had to protect and most importantly, myself. In a way doing it for Sophie and David too.”
Fizz knew Konrad had got the idea, despite being so scared of the situation Konrad's in, especially it was the wrong time to do so, but Fizz even sees the benefit to the match to improve Konrad being comfortable in dangerous situations as she immediately fell asleep without saying anything else as she was extremely tired due to being pregnant with twins as he slowly gets her off his chest before placing a duvet on his body, turning the light off from above their bed as he then falls asleep after he turned the lights off.

Survival fighting training. San Antonio, Texas. Saturday 10th March. (Off Camera)
It's been an extremely hot day in San Antonio where Konrad is learning how to survive in a fight as he's never been in any sort of fight, even if he won't literally get killed that the stacks have raised up a lot since he was told he had to survive against Har Megiddo to earn his match against Damien Angel. It's been extremely tough for him as he had to even learn the chokehold how to get out of that. It was mostly moves than weapons he's been doing in an army field of battle far from where his hotel is.
He knew he'd never gone through anything like it before as the army cadets force Konrad to show anger towards them, pushing him to fight a lot, even doing the one thing Konrad could see himself doing but would feel bad about it, breaking the rules. The odds of him surviving were very low if he didn't go through the training he's doing right now.
The downside is he lacks aggression which was always a problem when he didn't wear that mask. He was at a point of giving up when Konrad isn't delivering to the army officer's expectations, but it was clear he didn't come just because he was good at it, it was a major struggle as the officer shouts at Konrad.
Army Officer: “You can't quit from this. Do you want Har Megiddo to rip you apart, leaving you for dead?”
Konrad Raab: “NO SIR.”
Army Officer: “Then show that aggression, show how you're willing to protect yourself from being in danger you cannot run from. You break the fucking rules, Konrad. You hurt, hit, punch, kick, do anything possible to survive.”
Konrad follows the commend as they were encouraging him, reminding him all the time why he had to go through survival fighting training as he was near enough allowing himself to get destroyed. It wasn't something Konrad was wanting to do by any means, but he immediately sat down and had flashbacks of Har Megiddo punishing and beating the hell out of Tyler and Craig, along with Jack Travis and Eric Fillmore being in the hospital and seeing a kid thrown off stage.
He allowed it to sink in until he fought back, screaming and shouting along with vicious punches and kicks as the cadets around him did attack him, but Konrad was strong enough to use a headbutt on the officer along with doing some form of wrestling moves, only one of the cadets got behind Konrad for a chokehold which he struggles to get out of which wasn't a problem usually, but it's a very different situation where Konrad had to find other ways to get out, but he did by using elbows and the cadet had no choice, but to let go.
Konrad then locked in the chokehold with the cadet in front of him by grabbing his shirt collar and placing his arm on the shirt collar, making an x symbol with his other arm before the opponent goes down on his knees as the officer says this.
Army Officer: “That's it, I knew you had it in you, Konrad. All of those things are very important for you to do to get yourself out of danger and most importantly, save your own life you feel like you're in.”
Konrad sees the cadet was unconscious now from the amount of squeezing he did and he would usually feel bad, but he knew he wouldn't feel bad or down on what he'll do to Har Megiddo. There was of course more than one person to survive as some of the cadets could do wrestling moves and they did them on Konrad, throwing him around like a rag doll which are much bigger than him, kicking, punching, even biting and trying to gouge on Konrad's eye.
They even kicked and punched his vital parts of his back, even being choked from the ground as it was a matter of survival as Konrad was struggling, couldn't do anything to get out as he wasn't moving for a bit until the officer says this.
Army Officer: “Get your ass up Konrad. Don't ever allow Behemoth, Malphas and Kali think they've won the war because you're unable to break some fucking rules. They will batter you with weapons, they will hurt you in any way you can so you won't ever get the match with Damien Angel and you won't ever see your two sons growing up. Do something.”
Once the unborn sons were mentioned, that was the notion on top of everything the officer said as Konrad although is very uncomfortable of doing things that are against the wrestling rules, actually does bite, gouge and even tries to choke the life out of the cadet. Once he got up, he uses many types of punches that were very hard with jabs, uppercuts, hooks and even cross punch to get everyone down.
Konrad goes to the ground and kicks very viciously towards the cadet's back as the officer applauds Konrad for getting that aggression, although still waiting for Konrad to do some biting which at that point comes as Konrad does bite one of the cadet's face and tries to poke him in the eye as much as he hates doing it.
Army Officer: “That's it, you got the idea now after training your ass for four hours. Show Behemoth, Malphas and Kali no mercy when you do all of those things, including weapons they'll likely brutalize you with. They punched your heart because you allowed it to happen, make sure that shit doesn't happen again, make sure they don't attack any more vital parts, you hear me?”
Konrad continued to fight as he wanted to make sure all the damage was done, training for his important fight so far this year. He was told by a fellow cadet to stop fighting as four hours was enough as the Army Officer said it again.
Army Officer: “Did you hear what I said?”
Konrad Raab: “YES SIR.”
Army Officer: “What did I say?”
Konrad Raab: “Show no mercy to my opponents and to protect my heart and my spine of my back.”
Army Officer: “Good work. We'll be watching your match tomorrow night to see what you'll do in the match and do everything possible to do these techniques, even if you have two other people in the match with you, you are more important to be attacked and destroyed. Remember that.”
Konrad nodded as he was clearly out of breath from the training he done today, clearly being a very different form of workout as the cadets already gave Konrad water which he sits down on the bench and takes the lid off to drink quite a bit as he felt like he was going to push himself through the match to survive and outlast Har Megiddo. One of the cadets named Darren was a huge wrestling fan and was honoured to have fought with Konrad today as he says this.
Darren: “I've been watching SCW shows a lot and I think it's fantastic to see you stand up against those monsters when nobody else has the balls to.”
Konrad Raab: “I won't allow anybody get away on attacking my friends the way they did on top of injuring many other wrestlers as well because they want to hurt people. The survival training was to prevent me from being violent.”
Darren: “That's correct. You're a very strong guy, believe me when I say that because there's nothing more you want right now than to fight them in the ring. I see it in your eyes how much the match means to you.”
Konrad Raab: “Means a whole damn lot, especially I've only just got rid of my fears of being violent with wrestlers last year. This match is much bigger than a title match even because I got to prove to everyone I can outlast these so-called monsters when they aren't as deadly and dangerous as they think they are, trust me.”
Darren: “I can tell. Before you leave, may I have your autograph?”
Konrad smiles as the entire time he's been a wrestler, he's never refused to sign autograph and take pictures with fans, even in the middle of his work out, he'd gladly stop and sign because a hard worker he might be, but he never wants to come across of an asshole and disrespectful. He has pictures with other cadets and the main army officer as well before he leaves the army field and he catches a bus that goes near to his hotel before going in the gym for a few hours to work out his stamina mostly before he goes to his hotel room to rest for the day. After he watched a bit of TV, he opens up his laptop and goes on a live stream on youtube to say a few words about the match.
------------------------------------------------
First ever match in my life where I'm fighting for my life/earning my right to face Damien Angel youtube.com shoot. (On Camera)
“Finally, I'm able to get my hands on three guys who've been causing nothing, but hell on wrestlers they shouldn't start fights with, in the first place Har Megiddo. They act like nearly half of the roster in SCW, being all about hurting and punishing people which is all they've been doing since they started attacking Sisterhood and especially Adrenaline Rush. They think they can do that and get away with it?
How wrong they were when I'm the only member of the roster who had the balls on saving one of the wrestlers from being even more hurt. Of course, I couldn't save Jack Travis or Eric Fillmore when they attacked them because I would've been out for the Trios tournament, but I have saved a wrestler a couple of weeks ago from being hurt even more because I care so much about other people.
You have caused nothing, but hell since you come here and they feel they can make people be afraid of them? Nope, I don't fear them one single bit because they are nothing more than cowards who do ambushes because they can't fight me by themselves that they gather around and beat the shit out of me which granted they did, but I stood up to all of you, didn't I?
Sure, you've had one win against Jack Travis and Eric Fillmore which I will have them coming down to my school when they are better because unlike you heartless assholes, I want to make them better wrestlers and you better watch out because they will be back, but only I will do the damage their parents want me to do, something I hate doing, causing violence on you. Saying this, that's exactly what the match is about, isn't it? Surviving against you cowards and that's perfectly fine because I much prefer to earn my way for matches than being handed them on a plate so that's not the major concern for me.
What is, however, is the crystal ice you sparked up in me on wanting to do nothing more, than to literally hurt you fuckers. You have no remorse for what you've done to Adrenaline Rush because of course, I wasn't gonna be a coward and run away from this fight, I won't because I stand for my friends who've been there for me all the way and helped me out so it's time I helped them out.
I know you're even thinking right now that I asked for help when it comes to Sophie and David. I didn't. I wanted to tackle you three on my own, but they came out because they wanted to, not me asking them to. I wanted to even have a two on one handicap match because unlike you guys, I have more balls than anybody to take you on by myself.
I don't care what it takes, but I've gone through a lot of survival training today to prepare for what awaits me and I can defend anything you'll throw at me. There's nothing more I want than to teach you three how to respect this business which I guarantee you haven't done anything to make people fear you. It's an act of being a bunch of bitches who are too scared to fight by themselves.
I wasn't, but seeing how I got along so well with Sophie and David, they came to honestly teach you guys a lesson too, but I know you won't give a fuck about them because I know what your purpose is, it's to destroy me and put me on the injured list, but that's in your own world of dreaming about it because I'm far stronger and harder to take down because I have the will and passion to take each one of you out.
I got a major frostbite I want to unleash on all of you because I'm not afraid of surviving fights, considering I've been doing that for the last few months now, but I gained a lot of experience out of what I've done today and even in the violent matches I've been in elsewhere. I have grown and evolved from it. What a perfect name for this PPV on seeking Retribution because that's exactly what this match involves, seeking retribution for the injuries you've caused on five wrestlers.
That's gonna come to a stop because I will do everything possible to outlast minutes of being in the match against the so-called monsters who are nasty human beings, but when it comes to in-ring ability, despite the win they got, it makes them cowards and cowards along with hurting and showing dominance eventually comes to an end. Dominating matches isn't impressive, especially the way you want to break people's bones or in my case, nearly costing my life when you attacked my heart.
Well, my heart is still beating and it will forever beat until I rip all of you apart and Sophie along with David are helping me to do it. It even makes me want to win this match because of how frosted up I am to take you out to stop hurting members of this roster and be ready to face the cowardly leader you guys have because you can't follow your own lead and be beaten down like you won't be able to fight because the way I'm feeling, I want to hurt you and if it means me defending myself with violence and weapons, by all means, I allow it because I will show Behemoth, Malphas and Kali how bad I want to fight Damien Angel.
I even feel I must win because this is the biggest match of my life. It's even bigger than all title matches I've ever done because I'm fighting for my life and I will survive because my heart is stronger than any of you have and I'm mentally stronger than I've ever been in my entire life because you made me and that's gonna be a major downfall for you guys to not be able to handle a man who's got no fear from you both and fears no danger of his life being at risk from you idiots because I will overcome the three of you and I will do everything possible, even limits I won't break to face Damien because the power of will is right there and everyone will see a whole new Iceman Raab tomorrow night.
You won't take this from me and everyone will see what Retribution awaits for you bitches and tomorrow night in San Antonio, Texas, everyone will see me being the man standing in the ring with a match against Damien Angel waiting for me to beat the living crap out of. I'll use my iced fists and my iced boot in your mouths and in your bodies to a point you'll be frozen for good. David and Sophie also are in the match because they want to prove themselves as a team they are, but I'm here to give you guys payback cos as the saying goes, payback is a fucking bitch.
I was very close to bringing out The Black Ice, but I made a promise to Adrenaline Rush I will use my normal side for this match to beat you fuckers down to the ground and then get my match and hands-on Damien Angel will do me a lot of good, especially when we'll win this match with our hands raised in the middle of the ring and move forward to other goals or move forward to a match with Damien and I will be ready for you Damien. Don't run away when I'll survive cos you'll have nowhere to run to.
Be prepared for a world you've triggered with the ice storm coming at you because you'll see a whole load of difference and you all are gonna wish you haven't done so. Tomorrow night, you'll prepare yourselves to be Iceinated by The Motor City Bitch, Callahan and The Iceman.”
