Needing to gain friends in UGWC discussion. Chicago, Illinois. Saturday 18th May.
It's been a quiet few days for Konrad since the announcement of a title match he has coming up elsewhere; he's cut off every single person from talking to him due to his clear focus on the upcoming match. He's in the gym, sweating everywhere like a pig, pouring from head to toe. Konrad still kept going with the treadmill, showing his smile, closing his eyes like he wasn't going to stop working out in the gym by himself as it's a private session he wanted.
On the other side, Jerry's sitting on the bench, seeing Konrad's smile, but at the same time, raises his eyebrows, pursing his lips before biting his mouth as he stands up with a shake on his head. Although Jerry doesn't see a single struggle in Konrad's mentality to bust his ass for every title match he has coming up, he shakes his head and says this.
Jerry Flack: "Konrad, you need to stop."
Konrad Raab: "No."
Jerry Flack: "You've been busting your ass here every single day for six hours and today, you've extended the time you should be in the gym. Do you want to cause yourself to vomit and pass out again because you're not taking breaks?"
Konrad Raab: "I can't afford to take breaks, not when I'm facing the toughest wrestler I've fought in the ring. I will not stop just because you say so."
It was Konrad's passion that always overshadows his health as he had been in the gym for seven and a half hours and he remembers the time when he was vomiting, everyone still talked about it, but Konrad points out the reason for it while he continues to cycle on the bike.
Konrad Raab: "That's because I was stressed. It's completely different."
Jerry Flack: "Fact is you need to stop because you're overworking yourself, barely taking a break. Also, I don't think you know your match in UGWC, something I need to talk to you about actually, well more related to that."
Konrad heard the mention of UGWC as he decides to listen to Jerry, sighing as in his heart, he wants to continue training, but knew at the same time, he had to focus on UGWC, as much it hasn't been on his mind at all this week.
Konrad gets off the bike and goes over to Jerry to wipe the sweat from his forehead and his underarms with a white towel. Konrad sits on the bench, and he pays attention, looking directly at Jerry who then says this.
Jerry Flack: "Here's what I see the issue is with you. I mean it's completely understandable you aren't considering any form of contact this week until after the title match, but I have to be honest, I never see or hear about you hanging around with other people besides your family. Do you have friends at all?"
Konrad Raab: "I do, but they are all mostly in Germany. I don't expect them to come over and watch me wrestle every single week."
Jerry Flack: "Well, I understand that, but I was more speaking about wrestling and here. I don't recall you apart from the few occasions with Natural Born Killer, Zane, Alan Wallace and Brody you talk to anyone. Is there a reason for it?"
Konrad Raab: "When you have a big family on top of wrestling for two companies, it's difficult for me to arrange to meet up wrestlers and to talk to them. I barely managed it with the names you've mentioned, even with Brody being the only person in UGWC, witnessing my work elsewhere. Besides, there's nobody I can find that wants to talk to me in the company."
It was an interesting topic Jerry brought up as Jerry taps his feet, rubbing his face, glazing at Konrad with pain as it was the same reaction for Konrad as well although Konrad did have a point about lack of finding someone who can talk to him consistently.
Jerry Flack: "I wouldn't be so sure of that, especially you're teaming with a new wrestler who I feel for the first time for a long time, you'll connect well with, Kate Steele."
Konrad Raab: "You're right, I've never had any connection with tag partners I've had. Everyone I've teamed with always found ways to cheat to win matches or make me do most of the work. I want to have friends in UGWC, but it's a different environment to SupremeCW."
Jerry Flack: "Well, I think Kate Steele can be a start of that. I can see you both working together as a team, considering you're in a cooperative match against Holden Orson and Wrestley McWrestleface."
Konrad Raab: "I haven't forgotten what Holden did to me, and Wrestley made comments about me that went the completely wrong way. He claims to be a hero, but teaming with Holden who tried to cheat to win and Holden being attacked by Hide twice without doing anything doesn't help his cause."
Jerry Flack: "Well, to be honest, I do find he is making a point that he feels you don't put enough effort in wrestling. Is that partly the reason why also you're trying to prove him wrong?"
Konrad swallowed hard, gripping his heart with his drooping shoulders as it hit him where it damaged him best and he nods, answering the question without a response. Konrad shows some tears coming out of his eyes and Jerry places his arm around Konrad's shoulder and says this.
Jerry Flack: "I know how much it's stabbed you with the comments, but he's not wrong Konrad. You have been wrestling like you don't care about winning titles."
Konrad Raab: "I told you last week that Donovan and making things right in UGWC is far more important than chasing titles. I'm not bothered with the whole effort stuff, although it got to me a bit, it's more claiming about me not being a hero is what hurts the most."
Jerry Flack: "The point is everyone, but you have someone to talk to. I'll see if Kate would want to talk to you regularly because right now, you need that. You can't expect to speak to Fizz and me all the time, can you?"
Konrad shook his head in response to the question before Jerry speaks again.
Jerry Flack: "It's time to let the world know how much of a gentleman you are."
Konrad Raab: "Yeah, I need to head to the shower, and then we'll discuss more it."
Konrad's hands are limp from working out and quietly stumbling to the showers after finding shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and another clean white towel to wash off the sweat pouring down from his face. He's smiling because of his win against Travis and receiving his match against Donovan Hastings at the PPV. At the same time, feeling dejected because of the words from Wrestley and the truth of him not having any friends in UGWC was real.
At least he shows his smile, stretching in the shower, running his hand through his hair because of the shampoo and condition he places in his hair and that he shakes, feeling positive about the upcoming match. It's not only a chance to win once again but an opportunity to gain a friend after the match was over too, especially he hears about Kate all the time due to his cousin's efforts in a company Kate's apart of.
He also rubs his body with shower gel, smiling in excitement for the PPV and for the match this week to prove Wrestley wrong on the things he mentioned about Konrad not looking at being a favourite. He comes out of the shower and dries himself off before he notices his clothes, sitting beside his towels as he goes to the door and shouts to Jerry as he opens it.
Konrad Raab: "Thank you."
He releases the door for it to close as he places all of his clothes on and comes out with his towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel stuff. Konrad puts them in his gym bag and places it on his shoulder, and he pats Jerry on the shoulder and says this as they stand up and leave the gym.
Konrad Raab: "You don't have to worry about me. It feels good to say I have a tag partner I can trust and rely on for assistance on top of us winning the match as well. I'm feeling good about this, and I have never said that in quite some time to know I can win a tag match with Kate as a reliable tag partner who I know can work with me to get that win."
Jerry Flack: "Indeed. I do want you to rest from training tomorrow though because you've overdone it the last few days, although understandably because of the title match Wednesday night, you still need to rest. That includes Karate as well."
Konrad Raab: "Yes, you're right, I have to rest as Kate wants a fully focused Konrad and still getting another win because I'm a hungry and driven wrestler who wants another win in the bag."
It was a huge turn around with Konrad's emotions today, leading to him being so confident and having faith not only he'll win, but gain a UGWC wrestler friend he needed as they walked back to Konrad's apartment. Once they got in the apartment, they do their own thing with watching TV or in Konrad's case, going online with his laptop to see Fizz starting her first ever race on her new job as a motorcycle racer. After the race, he goes on youtube and starts recording for the upcoming match.

“Despite being hit with a chair, I can say that the targets from defeating Travis Pierce to getting a match against Donovan Hastings at the PPV are completed and I couldn't be happier with that. I'm excited to show Donovan a thing or two how to wrestle with respect, bringing honour back to wrestling that's desperately needed in UGWC.
Something I know for sure Kate Steele understands what I mean by that, being the only wrestler who's likely showing her potential of making things right around here. I can even say from what she's done in SinCW, I've seen the girl wrestle, even if my cousin's wrestling there at the moment. She almost defeated Alicia Lukas at London Brawling for the title so I know what my partner's made of and the first time I can say a tag partner I can trust after the hell I've gone through in these matches with cheating or lazy tag partners I've had in my time. I know Kate will be nothing like them.
Am I right, Holden Orson? Isn't it funny how different you treat Wrestley as a tag partner, compared to me? I always knew you'd had the commitment to do what's best for your team, but where was that kind of effort when we teamed up in the past? Of course, it doesn't help you didn't win last week against Kate. The reason being is you underestimated her. I knew when you did that; she'd win because she's a gifted wrestler.
You, however, have done nothing to work with me or any commitment there and I feel sorry that you get put in situations with Hide and being the only guy man enough to stand on your own two feet and defeat him in the match. Also, I don't condone you trying to cheat to win against me more than once in tag matches as well as your lack of ability to do anything to improve yourself as a wrestler, despite your partner knowing about this.
Which comes to the title of my video today. You honestly think Wrestley with all the skills in the world and how you want to push yourself to the limits type wrestler along with your credible high flying skills, pushing wrestlers to the limits you got away with the fact you came across last week to near enough claim I'm not a hero?
That's something I'll stand up for because you haven't been the hero everyone thinks, have you? Let me take you back to the tag match that involved me, Hide, Holden and yourself. Remember when Hide got into the ring and used a chain on your partner? I was expecting you to take the chain off from him, waiting for you to protect your partner, beating Hide down, but you didn't. I stopped Hide because I don't want to win matches in that sort of situation and because you weren't willing to do anything about it.
The same happened again, only this time it was after the match at Seven Deadly Sins PPV. He wouldn't be wrestling tonight if he didn't move out of the way. Nobody saw you come out and save Holden from getting his brains scrambled from the chain.
I never got along with Wallace, but I still came down with NBK after the match he had against Kenzi to save him from getting injured and gave Kenzi and Hastings a beat down they deserved because I'm not afraid of saving my tag partners when they need to be done. I'm not scared of getting hurt in the process, but at least I back my hero claims up. Also, people got behind me because I was able to save someone I dislike, but they know I did the right thing and had every right to be called a hero.
Which is one of my reasons I'm fighting Donovan because of what he's done to Wallace who was going to be my tag partner for the cooperative titles. Along with his eye poke being called superkick to keep the move legit along with his cheating ways to win matches being stopped and bringing back honour to wrestling again, not sitting back and let wrestlers continue to cheat. Other than those things you said about me Wrestley, you're a nice guy who deserves to be a wrestler here in UGWC.
I've never been confident and feeling like I can win this match more than I have not just because I got a reliable tag partner, but because I will always have her back and if she gets into trouble, I will defend for Kate. Although we don't have experience as a team, we have the same views and values to wrestling and also, we will find ways to win this tag match fair and square.
Tomorrow night, either Wrestley or Holden will be pinned for the three count or submitted by me or Kate Steele, having our hands raised in the ring because we worked together to get the win we deserve which is something we won't see as long as Holden is cheating and Wrestley's refusal to save Holden from dangerous situations. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Siren and The Iceman.”
