Visiting CNN Studio's

["The Iceman" Konrad Raab]

Visiting CNN Studios. Atlanta, Georgia. Monday 8th February.

While exploring Atlanta Georgia, there's a man who discovered a place where he can actually discover with his own eyes since he originally thought the amount of times he's been to Atlanta, it was just a news studio, only to find out it's a news studio tour with signs being posted and the man didn't even know until he walked past it again to find something to do to promote his third match against Ryan Kendrick. He knew his heart and desire was more to finish up the series than wanting a chance for a title shot, plus the match involved using weapons which is what this man is known for being completely against them which effectively put him off from competing in the match, plus he didn't want to go back in the past where he received a title shot that wasn't earned in WEW.

This time he wanted to change things regarding that as he enters inside the studios and sees a lot of things to discover around here, thinking in his mind that his match against Ryan Kendrick is shown all around the world which technically it is, but he also thought about the viewers draw into the competitive nature the two men have had recently in a wrestling match and pushing themselves to the limit. Inside of the studios is where Stefan got the chance to sit down in front of the cameras, but of course his taping was pretty much real with the GZWA camera crew being there as they see Stefan sitting at the desk with the screens behind him as he begins to speak about the upcoming match with a huge smile on his face.

Stefan Raab: "I've been past this place a few times since I've visited Atlanta before for the other matches I've wrestled in, but I didn't know until I came closer to this place that it was a place where any visitors come into the CNN studios to tour around it via guidance, but they let me explore wherever I want without one because of knowing about me promoting my match against Ryan Kendrick for the second of the best of three series at Riot Control PPV. It's pretty amazing how big this place actually is, isn't it? I'm already impressed that you can do many things around here, especially feeling like you are reporting on the news itself inside of this studios tour I'm doing myself. Speaking of TV, I heard me and Ryan are drawing a lot of people in with the matches we've produced and it means a lot of us both that we are bringing wrestling back into this company, taking ourselves to the absolute limits, the kind of wrestling we enjoy doing in front of the fans."

Stefan so far is enjoying sitting in the CNN studios, exploring the world around him as he stands up behind him and looks at the multiple TV screens that are behind him in the studios and watches them for a while before he decides to come back and sit down in front of the GZWA camera crew who are focusing right on Stefan as he continues to speak.

Stefan Raab: "It goes without saying that since I've got into this company, I've impressed a lot of people around GZWA, including Ryan Kendrick himself who I might repeat to say this that you can see a ton of potential in him being a future champion in GZWA and I really hope he captures the gold one of these days because he's really earned his spot in the ring, especially facing the likes of me. I feel that me and Ryan Kendrick are learning a lot from each other every single time we step into that wrestling ring, even learning a few moves or two inside of that wrestling ring. I for one look forward to the second match in the best of three series against Ryan. He really is starting to come to form right now and he almost won against me last time out a while ago and I honestly give him all the respect in the world because this kid has talent, proving to the fans why he misses the competitive one on one action and he's getting it a lot from me."

Stefan stands up as he moves to elsewhere in the studios to see what else he can find which he does almost immediately as he goes into the newsroom where he takes a seat for a little bit as he feels he can report on the news of his match with Ryan Kendrick as he speaks again.

Stefan Raab: "Ryan is a future GZWA World Heavyweight champion because as I said before, he really does have the talent to become one and the passion for this business, especially in this company and he quite frankly should be in that title match more than myself who I've only had three matches since I've been apart of this company. He is the face of GZWA for the amount of years he's been here is incredible stuff and I can honestly see him defeating me at the PPV because the talent is there and he knows my weaknesses right now which makes him even more dangerous as an opponent than the last two times we've faced each other. I know how bad he wants to beat me and I can see it in his eyes he wants to do everything he can to knock me off the ladder which I believe can and will happen when Riot Control comes around because he's gonna come in fully focused on me and doing everything he can to take me down.

That's if he doesn't use his unfair tactics like he did in the first match that is and he even admits his mistakes in the match too and admittedly even though I did win the match, I have made some as well like overlooking Ryan and he deserves all the credit in the world for even wanting to fight fair and tearing the whole house down. There's literally not much beef or rivalry between us which is another thing I love about us fighting against each other. We generally respect one another and pretty much fan favourites around here because of our attitude towards this business is almost the same as each other, but he's completely against alcohol, drugs and smoking which seems like he's more sensible than I was back in the days. SM Raye and Serai know what I was like because they were there to witness it all. I used to be addicted to alcohol and drink so much of it that it almost cost me my wrestling career and even my life as well until my wife Fizz and them two took me into rehab to get me cured from alcohol addiction and I can't even have a drop of it now because of my diabetes."

Stefan gets up from the newsroom as he finds the interactive room where you can be apart of the camera crew working to show the CNN people as he sees another set of screens, watching them for a little bit, trying to gather up what to say towards Ryan that he hadn't covered already as there's a lot of respect between the two regarding taking each other to the limits and he speaks again.

Stefan Raab: "I'm glad you think that you wrestled one of you're best matches in you're career because that's exactly been my plan all along to get you ready for the main leagues which you are not far off from because after all, I'm always willing to help and develop your wrestling skills to get yourself up there with the rest of the other wrestlers. There's no doubt in our mind that all of our matches so far have surely been the best of your career. The thing I really like about you is you never want to quit when you wrestle against me because a lot of wrestlers in this business do, but I know it's gonna take me a lot more than my strength and power to knock you off you're feet again since I am pretty much learning the style you are good at with high flying.

As of right now, I will never ever ignore you as a threat because it's something I can't and won't ever do in best of three series like this because one big mistake I make regarding that and losing focus of you, you will easily take the win away from me and you know, it takes a lot of guts to take me on in these match series pal because it means you want to be one of the best wrestlers around here and you know by defeating me, you're status in this company will move you a lot farther to bigger and better things in you're career than you would even imagine. We also have our own fans to be behind us as well with your fans you call the The Juggalo Army while I call my fans Iceinators as they are the ones who pay to watch us wrestle. Haven't you heard the talk around this city about our match being potentially biggest match in GZWA outside of title matches? That's just down to our skills in the ring, giving respect right back to this business."

He gets up from the chair and plays around with the cameras for a little bit in the room since he hadn't really done that much since arriving at the studios as he walks out of there eventually to see what else there is to do around the studios. He walked around for ten minutes, finding something to do when he eventually finds a little cinema place where the recordings of the CNN news are on live as he takes a seat near the back of the cinema place to watch what CNN news reports are showing live in the studios as he watches it for a few minutes, chilling out in the studios. He's been very happy ever since he arrived in the studios and continues to be feeling cheerful about the upcoming match as he continues to speak for the last time.

Stefan Raab: "But I reckon although I see the talent and the experience you have over me, I think the way it's gonna go is me winning the match because although there's a huge chance of my winning streak going away and I know it will happen one of these days, I just can't afford that just yet because I still got a long way to go in GZWA and we'll be breaking more news in this upcoming series and for us to move on to face against other opponents in this company because we need to show the rest just what we are capable of all around the world in GZWA and this Best of Three series is somewhat of a great experience to enjoy to up our own game and even if you win, there's one more match in the series that will say winner takes it all, but this one is more for Stefan takes it all if I'm able to gain the upper hand of you in the upcoming match because although you say you have an advantage because of two losses you've had, I don't think that's the case at all because I have more of an advantage of taking this whole series.

That's something people realise and you know you are the underdog in this whole best of three series and I'm looking forward to this third match we've had together to clinch this whole series up and I can see you not really learning from my mistakes and me winning the whole thing since I've gained the upper hand a few times in the last two encounters and this match is of course bigger than all the matches previously because of the match being at a PPV event which our matches so far are PPV quality as all the guys in the back have said they are, even Xion said that too. We'll tear the house down on the biggest stage with my debut at GZWA's PPV event, I for one can't wait for the match, but only I will be walking away again as the winner by keeping you on the ground for the three count. Riot Control PPV live at Atlanta Georgia, Ryan Kendrick, prepare to be Iceinated by The Iceman."

After speaking about the match, he watches a whole live recording of the CNN news, reporting non stop twenty four hours a day as after he did, he explores more of the studios with the weather and sports rooms before he had to leave due to the time he had inside of the studios as the GZWA camera crew left before Stefan as he leaves a few minutes later to head back to his hotel to get some gym work done before going back to his hotel room to take his diabetes and bipolar medication before he takes everything, but his boxer shorts off as he steps into his bed and turns the lights off on the side of his bed to close his eyes to sleep.
