Getting back to business and having some fun. Bakersfield, California. Saturday 20th August.
Konrad has been quite busy since he came back to wrestling in terms of having a match against a guy in a different company he's apart of and you can see him being all smiles as he knows he's quickly got to move on the next match he has to deal with tomorrow night in a company he hasn't wrestled in two months due to things popping up at the last minute with dealing two sets of pregnancies with his wife and his eldest daughter from the first marriage. Things have been quite quiet since he came back to California on Thursday afternoon from Seattle, Washington as he spent the whole day with his wife and kids and Friday was doing nothing, but hard gym and wrestling work he needed to catch up on.
But today it was a different case as it was time to get back to where he left off with GZWA which not many people heard much, if anything on Konrad recently, but he certainly hasn't forgotten the company, especially when he done an aftermath speech about the hype surrounding him being a potential title contender already. He's at the theme park which had a very large pink, blue and yellow castle which was slightly smaller than the Disneyworld in Florida and he also was here for a good reason, to have his family go and do things together as there's a lot for them to do, but Konrad decides at the same time that he knew he had to find time speaking about his match against Samuel Chatman.
He's looking forward on facing someone he hasn't faced before and had a standout name already in the company which is something Konrad felt he needed. He even spoke to Samuel since the match was announced on twitter and it's all been very nice comments to one another. He stands just outside of the castle and saw a few GZWA camera crew around him and he looks at the camera directly as he starts to talk.
Konrad Raab: "Wow, it has been awhile since I've actually had a match in GZWA, two months to be percist and I know you lot have been wondering, where's Konrad been all of those months and I can tell you, well I had to go somewhere in Texas for a bit to sort something out let's say between me and my wife as we had been doing something really bad to ourselves that we clearly needed help for. Now before then, Fizz didn't get pregnant and while I was there with her, she told me that she was pregnant. Anyway that's over and done with now because I'm happy as ever, my life is getting back on track with two members of my family being pregnant and most of all, I've felt better than ever when it comes to training a lot for the upcoming matches I've had.
As you all know, I've been in the ring three times since I've come back to the business in July so no worries with the ring rust as they have completely gone, well they would have considering after I left Texas, I've been doing a lot of training to get myself back to where I was before I neglected myself. I won't repeat the mistakes I've done again, let me tell you all that right here and now, especially who my opponent is and without a shadow of a doubt one of the best wrestlers GZWA has in the company and that makes me even more excited to face against a guy who's been trained with Ivory and Victor Phillips and is on a pretty good winning streak for himself, Samuel Chatman."
He knew how serious of a threat Samuel is, more so when Victor Phillips has trained the man to wrestle as he continues to speak.
Konrad Raab: "I know you've been trained by Victor and that has to make me view you as a huge threat in my way and I honestly can say from a standpoint, you could be the one to topple me from the ladder since well you know what I've done in GZWA, no need to brag about that side of things, but I also know what you've done in GZWA as well as you are an army trainee after watching the tag match you had a couple of weeks ago where you defeated the team of Psycho Sagus and Ashley Wonder which was impressive stuff for your return Samuel. I believe I've spoken about my history serving the army in the past as well on how different I was when I went in the army which seems like you wanted to do, but my parents basically forced me in because I wasn't a tough kid growing up and they wanted me to be tougher and stand my ground on things. Serving the army is no easy task whatsoever and to bring that mentality into wrestling as well as still serving in the army is pretty impressive. I know Chris Matthews is doing the same as well.
Hell, I know I'm welcomed back in the army if I wanted to come back to serve my country, even though I was close to when terrorists murdered a lot of people in Munich a month ago, but it was a very hard break for Germans to suffer that cos we honestly were the last country anyone thought to hit. Anyway getting back to you, yes I see you got a varied amount of wrestling skills and I honestly thought when I first saw you, you was bigger than the size I read about you. You are a very tough and well rounded guy pretty much like myself and I have nothing but respect for you on what you do in this business and even how you got yourself here as well, especially after finding out yesterday you are serving the army."
Konrad had no idea about Samuel being in the army as of right now and he knew he had nothing, but respect for him as a fellow soldier Konrad was back in the early days and took the army life very seriously. He knows how hard it was to be in the army, especially nowadays, but he switches back to the focus on the match at hand itself.
Konrad Raab: "From speaking to you Samuel, you seem to be quite a nice guy actually as well and you seem pretty genuine to people you talk to on twitter and face to face. I think your lifestyle is busy as hell and who could blame you for that? Cos I certainly can't. That's why it's a great pleasure to face you because I know we'll have a great match together and being extremely competitive because it happens that I also recently found out that we both got something else in common apart from serving in the army, we both got screwed from winning our matches against Ry Drake with Victor Phillips sticking his nose where it don't belong. I'm sick to death of Victor and it's a damn shame that I'm not facing him in a match tonight to give him a taste of his own medicine.
I still haven't even addressed him face to face yet either so don't worry everyone, I haven't and refuse to ignore Victor's actions as of late. I'm appalled at how The Machine are trying to kill GZWA off and of course I need to do something about it and I realise that I see why the fans want me to face Carnage. It's not just because they think I deserved to face him for the title, but it's also because they can see me being a legit threat to Carnage because I know Carnage has faced everyone apart from me. Well I see that a lot of people have been bragging how they've faced everyone in this company, but the wrestlers who say this haven't faced me yet like Carnage and I believe someone else have said it as well lately."
Konrad didn't usually call people out for things like this, but he had to because there's far too much bragging about who did this and that and he oversees his eldest sons being on the rides, screaming as apart of fun they were having as he smiles and shakes off before he speaks again.
Konrad Raab: "From what I've seen since I've been away, you haven't really done much to annoy me. You are a competitive wrestler yes, I will not ever ignore that fact because I feel you will be the biggest threat I've faced since Ryan Kendrick in a singles match that is and it's funny the last match you had was your return and now this match coming up is in my return too. I feel GZWA is in need of new stars making the main event scene and I know how bad the fans want to see me there which I explained recently about them and their demands of me being a title contender, but I rather let Xion Zeros decide that for me because I want to earn my way to the top.
I know that's how you feel as well Samuel, isn't it? Just look at how happy in general the families are when they come to visit this Camelot Park. That's the feeling I have when I was booked to wrestle, especially against you. You are going to be a tough guy to put down and even see myself to struggle to defeat you. I know you may think hey, Konrad's won all of his matches and he's not really been put up against people who are a threat yet. Well Ryan Kendrick was a threat to me and to this day, he still is, considering he's the only guy who's nearly beaten me since I've been here and faced in the ring. I know I'm expect Samuel to give me a fight to win because when it comes to non champions around here, I'm the biggest dog in the park."
When it came to being confident in any company, GZWA was it as he hadn't got anything to not be confident about, compared to the other companies he's working for at this time and he hears his kids laughing on another ride they are on and he sees them having a good time as it's a way of Konrad wanting to relax with them, but he also came here to talk about his match and plans for GZWA and speaks again.
Konrad Raab: "No, I don't think you are in anyway in Victor's shadow because honestly as of this point, I feel you are better than him quite honestly and a lot more mature as well. I feel bad for you actually having to put up with his awful actions lately in the locker room because of feeling like he wants to hurt people, but trust me when I get the chance to face Victor and Carnage, they will not expect me to use weapons or violence towards them. Oh no because I hate using weapons against anyone. Go ahead and use weapons on me, but you won't see me face them, no matter how highly regarded they are as hardcore wrestlers, but I won't because I rather stick by the rules and beat them clean for a three count.
Just like how I expect for you to do the same as well Samuel, but we have a lot to prove here the pair of us because while you have to prove that you can succeed in the singles division, I have to prove that I still have what it takes to not only continue on my winning streak, but also continue to prove to everyone in the locker room, in the GZWA headquarters office and the fans that have the same wrestling ability I had before I had to take off for two months to tackle other stuff. As for you Victor, I will kick your ass if you decide to interrupt mine and Samuel's match, even Samuel will join to beat you down cos he's pissed off with you and I don't blame him. See, I may not spoken much about Samuel, but it's cos I have nothing against him and see him more of a threat than anyone I've faced so far."
Konrad only had a few more words to say before he spends time with his family at the theme park.
Konrad Raab: "Samuel, we know each other's strengths and weaknesses in this match and we know what we got to do to prove ourselves, but sadly only one of us walks away as the winner of the match. I got to win because I need to prove to the world that people still remember me being a wrestler for GZWA since not many people have wanted a match against me and partly is my fault for not being on camera more, considering I believe you get noticed when you perform well for the fans, but at the same time, I need to do more as well when it comes to helping GZWA grow to higher limits in terms of getting myself involved in attacks, even though I hate the idea of it, but it's also a way to prove that I'm here to support GZWA and prevent it from dying.
Because I love this company more than everyone likes to think and I know Samuel has done the best he can to fix problems too, but I need to prove that and by doing so by not only winning this match, but also to give the match these fans deserve and will remember for a long time. Hell, fans still remember the match I had with Ryan Kendrick some months ago, but I want and need to do more and everyone can expect The Iceman to wrestle to his full potential to you fans and the wrestlers in the back, but instead of wanting Samuel to tap out, I will make sure I will beat you clean without cheating or using illegal moves to show you what I'm capable of cos you've earned the right to face me Sam.
You will get the chance to wrestle against me that majority of the long term GZWA wrestlers haven't gotten to yet, but they will when the match is over as I will move onto whatever next target I get myself in. Everyone around the world will watch me and Samuel wrestle to our full potential and make the fans be on their seats and tear the whole house down with excitement and passion we have for wrestling, but it's going to be me pinning you for the three count tomorrow night Sam because you better prepare yourself to be Iceinated by The Iceman. All I have to say is good luck and let the best man win."
Konrad goes straight off to spend time with his family at the theme park since it wasn't too far from where he lives with it only being three hours away as the GZWA camera crew left and went off back to where they wanted to go and the Raab family were there until it was seven at night where he gets his family into a very large car that was like a mini bus and he drove all of his family back home and he and Fizz place their kids to bed, along with reading them a bedtime story before they went to sleep, while Konrad and Fizz went into their bedroom and spent the whole night together before Fizz goes off to sleep as Konrad kisses her cheek and her stomach before he takes his medication before he heads off to close his eyes to sleep before he has to wrestle the next day against Samuel Chatman.
