New Frontier Wrestling Segments (Konrad Raab)

[Konrad Raab]

All go in here after the results have been posted.

[Konrad Raab]

Titantron appears with one of the New Frontier Wrestling camera crew, showing the camera at the start and finishing straight of Daytona International Speedway before the camera turns to what seems to be a man, wearing a red and black skull face paint with red and black top and trousers. It was a man known as Konrad Raab sitting, looking at the track before he looked at the camera itself. He speaks.

Konrad Raab: "New Frontier Wrestling. Somewhere, I never expected myself to take part in reforming my entire behaviour, reputation and wrestling momentum, to be honest. I come from a company called Unified Global Wrestling Coalition, and things aren't going smoothly there, to say the least, because of my behaviour, and let's say, I've been unable to deliver my wrestling performances for some time."

Konrad sighed. It was difficult for him to talk, especially since he wouldn't know half of the wrestlers he could compete with. At the same time, this was something he had to do.

Konrad Raab: "Fact is I will still be an asshole when I come here, but at the same time, you have to understand I'm trying to work out who I want to be and sitting at home while I'm not doing NASCAR Xfinity and sometimes Cup Races isn't going to do it. I need to wrestle to prove myself since nobody in UGWC believes me in changing my behaviour and getting my reputation back. I promise I will find a way to redeem myself whenever I start wrestling here because I, quite frankly, need to."

It was very hard for Konrad to talk because it had been long since he had. He drinks water while a car zooms past the start and finish straight.

Konrad Raab: "As you can tell, I'm not a strong talker and lost confidence in talking to everyone since I relied so heavily on writing my blogs with pen and paper. That will be another thing I need to gain confidence in, too. However, Everything I do is going to start from square one from here for me to work on things I need to do in NFW of my behaviour, my wrestling reputation and wrestling momentum to win some matches, win some titles even so I can go back to UGWC as well as still wrestling for NFW for the wrestlers over there to know, I've achieved something in wrestling, improved on my behaviour and gained back my wrestling reputation I lost back so UGWC stars can believe I've done that and I need to believe it in myself."

Konrad was very anxious about talking and, in a way, didn't feel comfortable as the car zoomed again while he took a break.

Konrad Raab: "Regardless, I will still be wrestling aggressively and do everything I can to focus on winning wrestling matches and be a champion while I do everything to change my ways and thinking to become a much better person and, overall, a better wrestler. You better be ready, whoever my first opponent will be, because I'll be there, ready for you, and you'll be in a rude awakening."

Konrad showed his angry look to the camera as the titantron went black before the show went to a commercial break.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras go inside Konrad Raab's locker room, where the reactions of boos were expected, and he was used to it all by now. However, the room was dark, with only green LED lighting. Konrad sat forward towards the camera, looking intense.

Konrad Raab: "Poor bastard that has to face me in the ring tonight, whoever he or she is. Now, what I will do in the ring will be practice of how angry I am like I've been my entire life. All I will do is crush you and hurt you because that's simply the only way I can get all of my anger out since I know I need to learn how to use my anger constructively, and that's why I'm in the wrestling business because wrestling is the only way I can do it."

Konrad shook his head since he didn't know who he was facing as he had seen bits of the show last week, including a debuting Chris Matthews, someone Konrad knew all too well, but for now, he decided to focus on himself.

Konrad Raab: "There are some wrestling names I know who wrestled in the ring last week I've worked with in the past, but for now, I'm completely focusing on improving myself and my opponent who I feel sorry for when I crush their head and beat them with my fist. No disrespect to them, by the way; it's just how it's got to be done to show everyone in the New Frontier Wrestling locker room my struggles, and I know some of you will pick a part of it and trash me and please do because it will encourage me to change."

Konrad knew his time was coming to make an impact soon, so he decided to talk for the last time before he wrestled in the ring.

Konrad Raab: "I will be focused on improving myself straight away. I want to become a champion here, and there are things I need to do, like winning matches and improving myself mentally, that's been holding me back. However, I assure you things will be different, and you will see what I'm capable of in the ring tonight. I expect wrestlers to call me out, and I will welcome it. I won't trash you unless I have to but just watch basically, and it's going to be a nightmare for any wrestler to handle me, and the poor bastard is going to experience the hell I'll give him or her because they are fucked."

Konrad looks intensely at the camera before the cameras end up elsewhere backstage.

[Konrad Raab]

Titantron appeared with one of the New Frontier Wrestling camera crew, showing the camera at a race track with desert scenery in the background, this time at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He knew he was starting the show, and you could see Cup Series hauliers entering the speedway and parking up. Konrad looks intensely at the camera and speaks.

Konrad Raab: "I hope you enjoyed what you saw with Jason Gray on Collision because that's how I wrestle in the ring now for those that remember me being all nice. Of course, I give the guy some credit since he did give me a good fight, hence why I patted him on the side of his face in a way to show some respect for a guy who bad-mouthed me in the beginning, but I needed that because it's a way for me to use the insults to beat people down with my actions than words. I respect Jason Gray, and we'll hang out the next time we meet on Collision. I had a ton of fun being in that match with Jason and respecting him, and I'd never be using that word out of my mouth against him, but it's true. However, that isn't why I called for camera time at New Frontier Wrestling's Rise Of Legends two Supershow."

He looks at the track, giving him time to think and rephrase what to say since he hadn't spoken on camera for some time, and it was an adjustment Konrad was still struggling with. But it's why he also came to New Frontier Wrestling to work on it. He eventually knew what to say since he was a little nervous speaking on camera, which was evident from the first two encounters with the New Frontier Wrestling audience.

Konrad Raab: "For Collision roster only, I would put out an open challenge to face me, not only at the next Collition show, but also at the next Collition Supershow of I believe it's Ascension five. I want to get things going with people here by planning rivalries and doing everything to be a star in New Frontier Wrestling. I want to be the one that people want to take my fucking head off with, I want people to talk about me, and I want people to feel I'm a threat to them. I want to be involved in blood wars and blood feuds. If putting out an open challenge is going to get me there, so be it, but I will fucking destroy you; I will make you want to get out of wrestling me because that's what I want."

You see the intensity of Konrad and the first time he has started to be a little mean, but he had to, considering he was still new and knew he had to address wrestlers of the message being sunk in.

Konrad Raab: "I'm not going to go anywhere or improve my behaviour if I'm just getting random ass matches, am I? Of course, I prefer to work with those I've never wrestled against before, but I'm open to being the name everyone wants to face and beat the living shit out of. I want to be a wrestler that everyone will face me in the ring with. If it takes me speaking out like this, so be it, but I won't sit around and have pointless wrestling matches and get nothing out of it. I will force people to face me if it's what it takes, even if these are words, but put me in front of any wrestler on the next Collision show, and I'll be happy. I'm opening a challenge to face anyone from Collision to face me both at the Collision show and at Ascension Five Supershow."

Cameras were dead set on Konrad as there was a long look at the desert scenery of the circuit, along with the start and finishing straight as the cameras point back at Konrad before it goes black for cameras to point elsewhere in the arena.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras are in Konrad Raab's locker room, where he has dim green LED lighting with the camera directed to him from the New Frontier Wrestling cameracrew. He sits on a chair, breathing in and out before speaking.

Konrad Raab: "I'm very thankful to be wrestling against a man who's known for violence just like me, Johnny Towers. First of all, if you were a guy who secretly accepted my open challenge offer for Collision this week, thank you very much, and I will continue to keep doing open challenges to everyone on this roster who wants to face me whether I've fought you before in other companies or not. The open challenges will always apply every week on this show and for the Ascension Five Supershow because all I want to do is fight, not sit on the sidelines doing nothing. I'm also opening up a challenge for next week's show to face me in the ring; all you have to do is accept, as I'm sure Johnny Towers did."

Konrad's a little tense as he moves his feet around the chair.

Konrad Raab: "Since I got here, I have been interested in the war you have with Killian Oliver with all the blood feud war you both got going on. That's what I love about wrestling is all of that, none of the shit I had experienced elsewhere. It's so raw and impactful that I expect the match to be for both of us. I know it's been some weeks since you last wrestled and had to team with Killian, but I'm giving you everything I got, and I expect the same in return because if you wanted this match against me, bring all the hardcore violence towards me."

Nodding to respect Johnny Towers, he remembered the recent matches Johnny Towers had in New Frontier Wrestling.

Konrad Raab: "While I respect everything you've done in your career in this company, you're sliding down the ladder as of late, losing quite a few matches. That isn't to say you're not a good wrestler; you are, and I know if this were a hardcore match, we'd beat the living daylights out of each other and use a weapon that nobody has ever seen in this company. But if you think you're going to get a win over me, you're dead wrong, pal, because I will make you work for it. Sure, my match with Jason Gray was an opponent people have beaten before, but not many people have defeated you here, and you're the biggest threat of an opponent I've had since I got here."

Konrad moves his legs and arms around, looking ready for a fight.

Konrad Raab: "I want this to be a straight-up fight between us without Killian coming in and beating you down. I want your focus to be entirely on me as hard as Killian has been bothering you; focus on unleashing your violence at me, use your anger you have for Killian towards me, and I will embrace it, but I will bring just that much violence towards you because you're getting Konrad at his best. After all, I respect your abilities as a wrestler. But it's because of Killian that I'm going to end up winning this match, and I need some wins to my name, just as much as you do, but the difference is I need them because I want a title shot and to win one, but I need to unleash my aggression and violence to get there with you. I expect you to trash me and accept them, but I will beat you down and win this match because I have no distractions that can cause me to lose the match as much as you do. Because Burned In Blood, Konrad Raab is here to stay."

Konrad stood up and left the locker room as the cameras went elsewhere backstage before Konrad Raab faced Johnny Towers in what would be a violent match.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras were located in Konrad Raab's locker room again, but there was a bit more lighting this time, especially since he had begun to feel more at home than he'd imagined. Konrad smiles because he's happy that Killian put that pressure on him, as he had needed it since he came to New Frontier Wrestling. He addresses the camera on the challenge he put out and the response to Killian's comments as he sits in the chair.

Konrad Raab: "I might've been way too quiet to comment, but the truth is, it's what I'm trying to figure out in my head whether to respond to a jackoff, or I should let him spew crap and mature? Well, I decided to do it on the show instead of being a coward to respond to social media like every wrestler does these days. I did a post-match discussion about open challenges because I didn't come to sit on the sidelines. I came to compete, and during my time in therapy, it's all I want to do: beat big names and win titles because my name isn't known for legendary stuff."

He shakes his head, admitting that, but knows he cannot let that affect him too much. He stands up to the camera, moving his body around.

Konrad Raab: "You know, Killan, you mentioned something about me being an old age pensioner. Well, I have, you know, Killian. I'm more famous than you. Do you know why I've made videos on race tracks? Because I'm a NASCAR driver, too, I make a ton of money from winning races as I did in Phoenix in two days and from being a professional wrestler. I appreciate you accepted my open challenge, but I swore at you for a reason. Because I wanted you and everyone to take notice of me and face me in the ring, I did it to get every wrestler to look at me and say he swore at Killian for having the balls to show him the piece of crap you are. Also, it's stupid that you find people seeking to win titles as your enemies because everyone in the wrestling business should seek to win titles. I need to win a title, but I will earn it by winning matches, especially to get my wrestling reputation back on track and especially from punk bitches like yourself that couldn't stay away from ringside to focus on beating Johnny Towers on my goddamn own."

He smirks heavily as he knew he would be an asshole as he walks around the room.

Konrad Raab: "But I like your spark towards me, Killian. But at the same time, I wanted to win that match for myself, not you distracting Johnny Towers to get the win with your assistance. I will aim because you have quite frankly pissed me off and beat the hell out of you. I can be an asshole as well, and you're that asshole that deserves a beating. You can call me what you want, but know this: I'm coming in the match to win, not to take snide shots on social media, not to take snide shots through a video of open challenges that's for everyone to respond to, by the way. People call me burned in blood for nothing because while you deserve to have your blood spilt, it is not enough for me to do so when I smash your face in and win the match. After all, nothing you'll do to me will stop me from reaching success. You can mess about with Johnny Towers, and he might take your head off, but you focus on me and not worry about Johnny when I win over you."

It was the first time Konrad had turned out to be a bit of an asshole in the company, but he had to be because it was therapy work. He knows anything, and everything he says and does is evaluated anything he says and does in New Frontier Wrestling as cameras go elsewhere in the arena.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras go into the locker room of enhancement talent, where it is just two wrestlers of Konrad Raab and a guy Konrad has taken a liking to lately due to the respect Konrad had for the wrestler he fought against in his first match in New Frontier Wrestling and the fact that he had to learn some Aussie/New Zealand language due to his racing teammate being from there, Jason Gray. He was all hyped up and patted Konrad on the back, still with his wrestling gear on.

Jason Gray "You squiz that? I kicked ass in that ring tonight. Beating a bunch of bitches was fun. I'm the top wrestler in this place."

Konrad Raab: "I did, and you did great. You know I respected you during our match, but you have some way to go before you can proclaim yourself a great wrestler, pal."

Jason Gray "Come on, Konrad, I dealt with a ton of pricks earlier tonight. I'm the king of that lumberjack match, the Swiss Army Knife, master of all trades of professional wrestling. At least I got some action out there tonight, Mr; I'm not sitting on the sidelines."

Konrad shook his head, although it did remind him how he came into the business: his attitude was obnoxious and over the top.

Konrad Raab: "I had to understand a lot this week where I have to sit on the sidelines as I can't wrestle every single week from my therapists and New Frontier Wrestling staff. As I said, you have a long way to go; your attitude stinks. You need to listen to what people say. I'm the only guy who has given you respect because you deserve it after our hard-hitting match, but I question that right now."

Jason Gray "It makes sense when you can't deny I'm a better wrestler than you. I'm a master of trades. I got a taste of Risa Lemon's face on my fist, which proves I've fought a champion before you did."

Konrad Raab: "OK pal, now let me talk about open challenges I've been making that you approved of was a good idea earlier."

It was the first time in a very long time Konrad spoke to another wrestler that wasn't him or his team he had elsewhere. Although he finds Jason obnoxious, Konrad sees potential in him. He rubs his fists together and looks directly at the camera with Jason in the background.

Konrad Raab: "You see, I put out these open challenges to prove myself and speaking to Jason here only proves I have a long way to go to improve myself. I came to talk to Jason here because I legitimately respect him, even if he doesn't come across that way on camera, but he gave me a fight and one I needed. Kilian has been silent as a rock since I defeated him because of Johnny Towers' interference. I wished I could've beaten Killian alone, but I understand that Johnny needed to give Killian payback for what he did the week before."

Jason Gray "But you still whipped that asshole to the next century. I give Konrad a hard time, but he knows he needs this."

Konrad Raab: "Indeed, and this dude might be annoying, but I need someone like him and you wrestlers to piss me off. I thought it would get people's attention when I flipped birds at the camera, which is essentially what I did. I want people to go after me and beat the hell out of me. But I go and get someone to put my fist into because I'm still an asshole, although it hasn't come across like that.

A short pause as Konrad shakes his head about his open challenges being ignored. Jason sees Konrad's anger and stands back from him for the time being.

Konrad Raab: "I want to win a championship here, and I want to face people in the ring. I want people to accept my open challenge to face me in the ring because if not, I'll do something to one of you wrestlers that you will regret ignoring me or not responding to my open challenges because all I want to do is perform, and that's that."

Konrad looks serious before Jason jumps in like a crazed man, patting Konrad's shoulder to give himself time to overshadow Konrad's comments.

Jason Gray "Yeah, this man is going to rock the New Frontier Wrestling world, even with me stepping on his toes and poking fun at his boringness so far. But the guy wants to be aggressive, and he wants to be the centre of attention in the wrestling ring, just like me, since he's the German army knife. I'm the Swiss army knife, which can be dangerous for anyone at this point, but I'm still the best thing going on TV and in the ring, and nobody can deny me otherwise and Konrad's the next big thing that will win New Frontier Wrestling titles, if he doesn't lose matches to do so."

Konrad felt that pretty bad since he has too much of a history of losing title matches, but at the same time, Jason had pushed him to limits. Konrad ignores it as hard as it was with the comment, but he looks dead serious about the meaning of his open challenges, and the camera goes elsewhere in the arena.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras go inside Konrad Raab's locker room, where he's once again sitting in a pretty dark room with a green LED light near him. This week, he was alone due to his wrestling tonight in his open challenge match. He looks straight at the camera, rubbing his hands together.

Konrad Raab: "Things are very different tonight, it seems when it comes to me being in a match. I knew who I was facing the last two times I stepped into the ring and fought Jason Gray in my debut, who appeared with me last week. Of course, he won't be with me every week, only when I'm not wrestling in the ring, but today, I am, so it's just me alone."

Konrad moves backwards and forwards, moving his feet to stretch out a bit to get some movement.

Konrad Raab: "Tonight, however, I don't know who accepted my open challenge, but whoever you are, I'm thankful because I can't wait to go out there and perform. It's pretty tricky for me to think who I'll be facing, either a male or a female competitor; it doesn't matter at this point because all I want to do is compete in the wrestling ring and prove to everyone that I'm a changed man. But I've never been happier to be here to compete against the top wrestlers. I haven't been stressed, and that feels like a breath of fresh air to be happy for the first time in a long time."

It was true, although he did have asshole tendencies in him and always wanted to be violent in the ring. He moves his arms around and looks intensely at the camera.

Konrad Raab: "But let me tell you one thing, I won't hesitate to be violent and vicious towards you, regardless of your gender because sometimes, I need to let anger out and I need to do it in the ring. Call me every name under the sun; you will get hit. While I haven't had any stress for a few weeks in wrestling and while I'm trying to sort myself out still outside the ring as well as the wrestling side of things, I do these open challenges to prove myself to you all and everyone that I'm capable of winning more matches."

He gritted his teeth and then gritted his top teeth on his bottom lip due to Konrad's intensity in his eyes.

Konrad Raab: "I'm still searching for an opponent to face for Ascension five PPV, and I could be facing them in this match; who knows, but I'm ready but feel that it's nothing personal as of yet, but I will continue to win because it motivates me and eventually, go for the title which honestly will be the biggest test to my career mentally. But for now, I have to win more matches like the open challenges I've been doing because I'm desperate to fix everything I've done wrong. So far, it's going that way, and I need to keep it going that way because it's what we're all here to do win because I can and I will."

The intensity in Konrad's eyes before he jumps off the chair and leaves the locker room before the cameras pan back to the ringside area for Konrad to come out for his open challenge match.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras are located in Konrad's locker room, and he has Jason Gray, the guy he respected when Konrad debuted, primarily so that Konrad can get used to the New Zealand language. Still, at the same time, he needed to fuel his fire, although Jason knew the big news for Konrad that had been announced on Twitter recently. They sat in Konrad's locker room; although he wasn't wrestling tonight, he did want camera time to discuss matches from last week and at the PPV. Jason got in front of the camera.

Jason Gray "This is big news for this man, who recently became a title contender."

Konrad Raab: "Yet, I was only told by fans at the NASCAR Richmond race about being a title contender for the Perseverance Championship. But I got something to talk about that I need to address."

Jason Gray "Yeah, you were not able to win against this new dude last week in your open challenge, Jason Shade. You wrestled like a pussy last week, bro, what the hell happened? I would be able to kick Jason Shade's ass easily."

Konrad shook his head. It had been a pretty rough match for him, and he was disgusted that he failed to finish him off.

Konrad Raab: "He's a tough bastard to put down, Jason. I did everything I could, but the time expired. I heard what I said from NASCAR fans passing the message onto me about him saying words, time won't always be there to save me."

Jason Gray "The guy is an idiot. Time always saves someone; better make sure you don't make mistakes like that again."

Konrad Raab: "That was tough to take, I admit that. At the same time, Jason, you can't win every single match, and if anything, I'm honoured and glad Jason Shade gave me a hard time. I'm glad he made the match difficult for me to win, just like you and everyone else I fought so far, but he's been the only one who outwrestled me."

Jason Gray "I'm the swiss army blade and I'm the master of all trades. I would be able to kick this guy's ass with my hands tied behind my back. I use kicks to knock that guy down. Especially, he sickens me to share the same first name as me. I'm the king of wrestling."

He paused again to think about how Jason was doing everything to get Konrad angry, acting better than he was. Konrad scratched his head and covered it with his arms.

Jason Gray "Oh come on, I haven't made you mad already, have I?"

Konrad Raab: "Nope, just thinking how much of a douchebag you are and how hard it is to maintain my anger, but at the same time, I can't blow the fact everything I say and do reflect on the progress of my mentality both in and out of sports, more I don't want to make the mistakes I've done already."

Jason Gray "You're a giant puss; I don't have anything stopping me. I'm the best wrestler in the world and better than you, Konrad. Why? Because I believe in myself every time I wrestle."

That had always been the hard thing for Konrad to believe in himself.

Konrad Raab: "Yep, that part has been the hardest part: having positivity around me. And since being here, it's been going that way so far, but this man reminds me of something: that he's provoking me because I needed fuel to the fire; otherwise, I will not progress."

Of course, Konrad needed to address some things Jason mentioned earlier.

Konrad Raab: "Jason Shade, I'd be honoured to face you in the ring someday because I felt we had a ton of unfinished business with you, and I honestly assumed we'd tackle our unfinished business with each other at Ascension five, but I'm in a title match with Lilah Meadows for the Perseverance title and I'm pretty excited about it, although there is one problem about me I've not yet tackled that involves the title, but a test I take gladly."

Jason Gray "Fuck it, let me say it. Konrad wants to face you again, Jason Shade, and he wants the match next week to finish things once and for all on Collision."

Konrad Raab: "He's not wrong; I have said to Jason Gray, I set out to challenge you, Shade, to a one-on-one match on Collision next week so I can get that win I deserve. I need to continue my streak and show Lilah Meadows how much Burned In Blood is willing to push himself to go out there and beat you. I need to have that rematch with you to determine who the top wrestler is out of both of us. I expect your answer whenever you can so we can face each other next week. Trust me, you will get me to be extremely aggressive towards you, no bullshit, and it's not out of respect; I respect you more than most people, but I need to beat you viciously and brutally."

Jason Gray "Because nobody shares the same name as me, and you will get wreaked by Konrad, and I will wreak you at some point as well."

Jason embraces being in front of the camera again while Konrad relaxes and smiles. However, Konrad wants to be a lot more aggressive. You can see Konrad grit his teeth and make a right-hand fist punch at the camera as the camera moves elsewhere in the arena.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras go elsewhere backstage with Konrad and his friend Jason Gray sitting on the black boxes, discussing the next week since things for the show had suddenly changed.

Jason Gray "I was meant to be facing that Jason Shade punk tonight. Disappointed I'm not."

Konrad Raab: "It sucks not to wrestle for two weeks now, although I know and am aware I'm having a title match with Lilith Meadows and it seems that Kaya Parker is my opponent for the same title too."

Jason Gray "King of all trades feels Konrad will win the Perseverance title, overcoming everything that stands in his way."

Konrad Raab: "So the deal was agreed upon of me and Jason Slade wanting to face each other again to make the same challenge and demand and both of us accepted it because it seems Slade has the same opinions as me on not being satisfied with a tie and wanting the real winner of the match. I look forward to facing you again because you deserve to face me, and I'm open to it any day of the week."

Konrad nods, saying that he means everything he says about Slade, as Gray mentions something Konrad hasn't acknowledged yet.

Jason Gray "But what are you going to do about Lilith Meadows threatening to do pranks on you? How will you handle it?"

Konrad Raab: "I tell you one thing, she will regret it, considering I still have bursts of anger and violence in me to hit her back with, especially when she's a current title holder. That's how I'll handle it without saying anything to her."

Jason Gray "Good plan, but I want to face Slade in the ring next week, I don't want any other worthless talent to face Slade. I want to win over him because I can and will beat him. I'm the freaking best."

Konrad Raab: "Jason and I may have different opinions, but at the same time, I will be tackling with you Lilith with your prank threats, and you would be hurt if you try something stupid over me like you did with Kayla last week. It won't help you in the long run when I'll beat you for the title to go around my waist. Go ahead and do your childish pranks, but you will be severely hurt over it, both psychically and mentally."

Gray and Konrad looked at the cameras for their goals for the time being as the cameras went elsewhere in the arena.

[Konrad Raab]

The cameras are located in Konrad's locker room, which has dim lighting. He's already dressed to wrestle as he looks into the camera and begins to talk while sitting in the chair.

Konrad Raab: "It's been a long while since I had a match to take care of in New Frontier Wrestling, but tonight is for a great reason that I have to take out Kaya Parker to stop her from entering in my title match at Ascension five against Lilith Meadows, even though you've been a god damn victim of her crimes. It's a shame she's afraid of me to pull pranks on me like a child to try and affect me, hey? Using you as bait to do that instead of me is sad."

It was the first time Konrad had been nasty since he got into New Frontier Wrestling. Still, that firey nature in him and trying to improve his behaviour was challenging, especially with the title shot around the corner from now."

Konrad Raab: "You may have been a victim of her pranks, but you can't get past me because I'm still undefeated, and I've earned every blood, sweat and tear to face Liliah. I will prove that you're just in my way of achieving my greatness as a champion. You've had great matches here, that's no doubt about it, and you're a great wrestler, but you aren't going to beat me, and I will crush all your hopes and dreams to pieces with my own body."

Konrad looks thoughtfully at the camera as he stands up from the chair and walks right up to the camera.

Konrad Raab: "I'm going to show you what Burned In Blood is capable of by destroying you, and I will take your shot for the Perseverance title away from you because I am the better wrestler and set you an example of you not belonging in my title match with Lilith. I will crush you like a bug and take away any dream you have of winning the Perseverance title away from you. Good luck, Kaya, because you will need it against me."

He growled before he pushed the camera back and left the locker room to enter the wrestling ring. The cameras then returned to ringside for the match to take place.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras are located backstage, and Lilith is walking around until she stops when she sees a shadow standing opposite her. As she looks up, it happens to be Konrad Raab, who is not looking at all happy with her antics on the show and, for the first time in his life, addresses the situation to her face.

Konrad Raab: "What’s with you and your childish prank you did to me last week? I’ve said and done nothing to you, or at least nothing I said that could make you do that."

Lilith Meadows "It ain't nothin personal. You happened to be challengin for my title and that makes ya someone I gotta prank."

Lilith giggles as she reaches into her top, pulling out a Hershy’s chocolate bar and takes a bite out of it.

Lilith Meadows "Remember that big ole hand I had set up a couple weeks ago?"

Konrad tensing up with his fist, grasping on it, clinching his teeth together as he thought about what prank she was going to do again. Even though he was still in therapy and hadn’t been tested until this point, he lets loose.

Konrad Raab: "Nothing personal huh? Maybe what you didn’t think about is the consequences that will come with it. Oh yes the fake hand you brought to prank someone."

Konrad shakes his head, not wanting to unleash violence until the PPV, but he raises his fist to Lilith’s face.

Konrad Raab: "This is a real hand from a human being that you don’t think about messing with. You don’t know what I’m capable of when I’m pissed off, do you?"

Lilith Meadows "You ain't the first to take it personally and you prolly won't be the last."

Lilith giggles more, taking another bite of her chocolate before she tucks it safely back away in her shirt.

Lilith Meadows "People really don't know how to have a little bit of fun! Everyone is so super serious around here!"

Konrad Raab: "Maybe because you aren’t being watched for everything you do is why you can have fun. I’ll give you a preview of what I’ll do to you so I will become NFW Perserverence Champion."

Konrad suddenly punches Lilith’s head and she falls down to the ground, showing that he was still needing work on himself and he walks away after doing what he needed to do. Lilith lays there for a moment before she sits up, rubbing her jaw and almost pouting a little bit at the punch. It doesn't take her long to pull the chocolate back out and take a bite as the camera fades out.

Cameras are inside the locker room, and Konrad is already dressed and ready to go. But that's all before he had to wrestle for the NFW Perseverance Championship against Kaya Parker and the champion, Lilith Meadows. Konrad tensed up angrily, looking at the camera, knowing the slip-up last week. He addressed it to the camera.

Konrad Raab: "I know I could've found another method to combat Lilith's childish behaviour, but I'm still working on myself, and she poked the Pyro where it wasn't needed. Lilith needed a lesson, which was only half the damage I had done to her. What I've done in the past has been far worse. Do you know why I only punched you, Lilith? Because I was saving it for this upcoming match. You've defended your title twice since you won the belt against Trixie Decker at Wrestle War Twenty. You had a successful title defence against Ace Sky and Zara Ivory at Rise Of Legends, but I'm at a far different level from them, and so is Kaya Parker."

Konrad shook his head at the first and only loss he had suffered in the company, and it was still hard to take in.

Konrad Raab: "Yeah, you got me and beat me, Kaya, to get in this match; I can't argue against that; you beat me fair and square, but that was just to get yourself into this match; this is a far different ball game. You managed to have one hell of a fight against Jessi Ozborne for the Hybrid title at Rise Of Legends in a dog collar match, but I've been in far more brutal matches than that in my entire career. You managed to win against me, but that will also bite you hard and Lilith's stunts because I aim to get that win back from you."

He nods, looking at the next few minutes of Konrad wrestling the two ladies with the title on the line.

Konrad Raab: "This match means more to me than any of you two ladies because I'm set to prove to the world that Konrad Raab can change, and I still have some way to go in my sessions. I have every week, but nothing, and I mean nothing, will mean more than to win the Perseverance title, which is not easy to win or defend against at all to face two people consistently. The fact the champions have fought hard to win and retain this title deserves respect."

Konrad looks dead set at the camera, showing his intensity side.

Konrad Raab: "But I aim to break the pair of you apart. I have to show you, girls, my brutal and aggressive side and prove everyone wrong in the wrestling business that Konrad Raab can be a champion again. The NFW Perseverance title is that start. I gain back my loss against Kaya, and the payback is more than deserved for Lilith. You both are in a world of hell of brutality. Burned In Blood will give the pair of you. I will make you both bleed; I will make you both suffer because it's just how it's going to be when I need and want to win this title more than the pair of you. I'm going to fucking deliver to pin or make one of you submit from pain to be the new NFW Perseverance Champion because I can and I will."

Konrad pushes the cameraman out of the way and leaves the locker room before the cameras return to ringside for the first wrestler to be announced to get into the ring for the NFW Perseverance title.

[Konrad Raab]

Cameras go inside Konrad Raab's locker room, where he's once again sitting in a pretty dark room with a green LED light near him. This week, he was alone without Jason Gray due to his loss against Lilith Meadows and Kaya Parker for the NFW Perseverance title at Ascension Five Supershow. He looks straight at the camera, shaking his head in frustration with the loss, but needed to sit in the darkness.

Konrad Raab: "I know I usually have Jason Gray to talk with me, but I decided not to have him today because quite frankly, I'm not in a good mood right now. Losing a match sucks, but it sucks even more. I had to lose by submission, especially since it looked like I was in pain physically. I want to tell you why I tapped. I'm not going to deny I did, but I didn't tap because the physical pain was too much; I can handle the physical pain better than most wrestlers can, but I tapped because mentally, I was in pain. That is the truth; no excuses, considering I'm confronting a lot of my demons from my past and currently in and out of wrestling, and I have since I got here."

It was so hard that Konrad continued to shake his head, placing his hands over his face, not even wanting to look at the camera in the darkness

Konrad Raab: "The loss because of me being a mental quitter is a really hard pill to swallow, and I'm mad at myself for letting myself tap out like a pussy quite frankly. No excuses, Lilith, you caught me when I was suffering from mental pain. I'm a nervous wreck, which I must take care of because I still have much to improve. To feel this loss and shrug it off is not easy for me; it's truly not. I do respect you, Lilith, honestly, but trust me, you've not knocked me down because I will be back to the top and will be back mentally better than before."

Konrad was clearly mad at the loss but mad at himself, and he was only going to speak once more

Konrad Raab: "That's a good question; what is Konrad going to do now? Honestly, I'm going to wait for what comes next because right now, I don't have any goals other than feeling I must get back on my winning ways and find someone to unload my anger and frustration of the loss I had and I could find them tonight, just haven't discovered them yet. I feel sorry for the poor man or woman who wants to provoke me because I will bite the head of the snake, as the saying goes, because I'm going to be angry and aggressive in my next match, and nobody will like me."

The intensity in Konrad's eyes before he jumps off the chair and throws it at the wall before he looks to the camera as the cameras go elsewhere in the arena.
