Two months later after the earthquakes of Kemal making new friends and how he's coping with everything and adding Turkey to list of champions in SCW countries list when Kemal becomes Adrenaline Champion.
Antakya, Turkey. Thursday 6th April 2023. (Off-Camera)
Two months after the earthquake disaster, you can see Kemal Yilmaz looking worse than he did a few weeks ago. In fact, it seemed like he had been beaten and destroyed a lot by people in the streets. A lot of people who lost their families, loved ones, and everything else had robbed every shop that had food left inside. Hell, Kemal had his credit card stolen while sleeping in the park, as he predicted when he was homeless. Still, he did the wise thing by calling the bank to cancel the card, so that no more money could be taken from it, and now he had nowhere to live; he could no longer withdraw money.
So he would've had to lose money anyway, especially when the bank was destroyed. It left Kemal with nothing. It left him with no money or shelter when it rained in Turkey. He was soaked and smelly because he was unable to find a place to have a proper rinse down. Kemal was finding this life hard, and he would've laughed a few months ago if he had ended up homeless in his time.
Nothing in his life seemed to have any sort of improvement, even if it was against his religion; he was offered to do and sell drugs, and Kemal firmly said no because it wasn't the lifestyle he believed in. He only wanted to be kept alive with food and drink. It was all Kemal had been begging for in the streets. He woke up where he was sleeping in the alleyway with other homeless people.
Other homeless people he slept with ended up being friends with him because it was his only form of interaction. They were all in the same situation as he, where they were lucky to escape the buildings in time before the earthquakes struck. One of the young guys, a bit younger than Kemal, says something as Kemal wakes up from sleeping on the floor with no sleeping bag or anything.
Young guy: "Morning, Kemal. You slept rough last night."
Kemal Yilmaz: “Good morning, Nasim. We have all been sleeping rough since the earthquakes.
Nasim: "That's true, even I have. But it seems you've been dealing with this harder than any of us."
Kemal Yilmaz: "I lost everything is the problem. I was destined to be an MMA fighter, and I think I would've been that much closer by now if this situation didn't happen."
Kemal was still upset, and it turned out to Nasim that Kemal had been crying every night, feeling he shouldn't have left his family that day, feeling he shouldn't have gone to the MMA gym to do some judo moves so he could've protected his family, at least his brother and sister, from the earthquakes and even prevented his parents from going to work as well.
Nasim: "Look, nothing that happened here two months ago was your fault. None of us was prepared for the earthquakes at all. The fact I've seen you reject selling, buying and doing drugs is admirable, even defending us from them as well."
Kemal Yilmaz: "Well, drugs are dangerous, and besides, I'm a Muslim, and I take my religion extremely seriously. I won't go back on turning my back on my Muslim roots any time soon. Especially one day, I will find a way to get myself back to doing MMA to become the MMA champion of the world."
It did shock Nasim, who ended up being Kemal's close friend. They met a couple of days ago and were already close friends, having bonded over just a few conversations, which Kemal could manage at this point, having been away from others for two months since his family had left. However, there was another man, Hamza, who had been Kemal's friend for a couple of days and who was also protected by Kemal, who came over to join Kemal and Nasim in their discussion.
Hamza: "I wish I could become a football player, but I don't think that will happen soon."
Kemal Yilmaz: "We have to have faith; it's the only thing we got left, to be honest. You can't be negative, although it is hard, admittedly, to be positive and how angry we all are for not having anyone helping us or feeling the need to, but you can still play football in the park."
Hamza: "You don't get it, Kemal. I was destined to be a soccer player for the best team in Turkey, Galatasaray."
Kemal Yilmaz: "WOAH, you were born and raised in Istanbul as well?"
Hamza: "Yes, my parents moved here when I was ten to provide us with a better life. But I was still going here and there to and from Istanbul to train with the Galatasaray squad."
Kemal widened his eyes; what were the chances of him encountering someone who was also born and raised in Istanbul? It was not a very good chance whatsoever, but it made him question what the passion was behind Hamza's desire to play football for Galatasaray, a big football team from Istanbul.
Kemal Yilmaz: “What a small world.”
Hamza: "Certainly is. What was your goal, Nasim, before this all happened?"
Nasim: "I was aiming to be a basketball player. Honestly, the dream is impossible as there are no male basketball teams here, but there are in Gaziantep."
Kemal Yilmaz: "Man, that would've been awesome if we were to accomplish things in our sports."
Hamza: "You do have so much potential from what we saw a couple of weeks ago of you being a mixed martial arts fighter. But there's part of me that is a fan of something close to your dream. Look what I got here that I kept on me before disaster hit."
Hamza pulled something out of his pocket. It was cards, but it wasn't MMA cards. It was cards of professional wrestling of many stars that he had in his hands. He also showed stickers, and it was the first time Kemal had heard of the sport that Hamza was showing.
Kemal Yilmaz: "Professional Wrestling?"
Hamza: "Yeah, it's great; you can do more than just grappling and submissions, you know; you can do high-flying moves, and you can do a lot of stuff you did a couple of days ago."
Kemal Yilmaz: “Ah, interesting. I do see it's a company called SCW. What does that stand for?"
Hamza: "Supreme Championship Wrestling."
Kemal was enjoying the discussion he was having with Hamza and Nasim, who also had never heard of professional wrestling. He nodded, as did Kemal, who was looking at the cards and stickers Hamza had, knowing he was a big professional wrestling fan. The sun began to appear above them at seven in the morning.
Nasim: "I mean, I've heard of Oil and Amateur wrestling, but not professional wrestling."
Kemal Yilmaz: “Same Nasim. I didn't think professional wrestling existed; I've always been a fan of mixed martial arts, and I was destined to be an MMA champion. I came this close to being a black belt, and I was due to get it two weeks after the earthquakes happened, roughly by being entered in a tournament to win it."
Hamza: "Man, that's even more unfortunate. I didn't even make it with the reserves team, let alone get close to becoming an MMA fighter. So what do you think when you look at these wrestlers?"
Kemal Yilmaz: "I always wondered with this card, particularly of Konrad Raab, wearing face paint, why they wear that sort of thing."
Hamza: "It's part of who they are as wrestlers. That guy is extremely violent. Then you have Xander Valentine and Kim Williams, who are the same. Then you have wrestlers like Selena Frost, who always stick to the wrestling rules. Glory Braddock, who's a British girl who hates hardcore wrestling and loves the wrestling tradition."
Nasim: "Seems a variety of characters here. Looks fascinating and interesting. Especially ones like Konrad wearing face paint or those female wrestlers, and Light In The Darkness wearing masks."
That was the day when both Nasim and Kemal discovered professional wrestling and the first time he heard of Konrad Raab. He, of course, was never going to encounter wrestlers in his life as his goal was to face the likes of Conor, Khabib, Jon, and Rampage-type fighters. Hamza places the stickers and cards of professional wrestling back in his pocket. But it was still good to know how different he was from Hamza. Kemal was particularly interested in examining the card of one of the wrestlers wearing a belt, which he inquired about.
Kemal Yilmaz: "Damn, wrestlers win championship belts as well as MMA fighters?"
Hamza: "Yes. It's not like divisions you get in MMA, though; maybe the odd Light Heavyweight title in other wrestling companies. You get tag team titles, which you have to be in a team to do that, and you get titles like Adrenaline, TV, Underground, US and the one there that Xander's got the SCW title, the main belt you can win there."
Kemal Yilmaz: "They really do look like MMA championships."
Nasim: "They look very different as well. Seems to have a unique design to the belts like Kim with the Underground title there."
They were discussing and interested in the cards and stickers they were looking at, as it exposed Kemal and Nasim to professional wrestling that was outside of what they were familiar with. Although Kemal got into MMA by accident when his parents switched the TV over, he was fascinated by the fighting he saw from MMA guys while doing martial arts beforehand. But he didn't get Hamza's goal, which was different from being a professional wrestler, so he asked.
Kemal Yilmaz: "If you like professional wrestling, why was your goal to be a football player?"
Hamza: "Because I don't look like a professional wrestler whatsoever. These guys can easily kick my ass. Besides, I'm not physically strong enough to be one, on top of not being mentally strong for that sport. But I am for football."
Nasim: "Same if I had heard of professional wrestling before. But I've always wanted to go to America to play for the NBA basketball team, especially the Los Angeles Lakers, with Shaquille O'Neal being the reason I wanted to play basketball in the first place."
It was the most discussion they'd had for the last few days, but it was almost eight in the morning now, and it was clear during all of that Kemal wanted to leave his friends he had made in the last couple of days and now, he had never felt safer than he did when he kept sleeping in the park. He was interested in the discussions about the dreams his friends had been chasing, as well as Hamza's interest in professional wrestling.
Kemal Yilmaz: “Well, I'm going now. I need to find somewhere to use the toilet before going out in the streets once again to beg for food and drink, despite it looking likely to be a struggle to survive at the moment, with everything taken. I wish we had our old life back, where we could eat what we wanted and drink whenever we wanted."
Hamza: "You'll be back, right?"
Kemal Yilmaz: “Of course, later on. I just got to go to the streets and hunt for food and drink to keep myself alive. I finally thank you both for wanting to speak to me, as I never thought I'd be able to talk again for many years."
Nasim: "Of course, man, we owe you after beating those thugs down for us after we were kicked and bruised by them."
Kemal Yilmaz: "Be lucky you didn't get a wild pack of gangs after you, like I did, when I had my credit card stolen, not that they can spend my money now anyway, along with my mobile phone that also got stolen as well. Keep yourselves safe, and I'll be back later."
Kemal got up and left his new friends, Nasim and Hamza, who were pretty local and thankful to Kemal when he came to save the day. However, he was bullied and beaten severely weeks before by six guys who were MMA fighters like Kemal, which was too much to overcome. He went off in the bushes to go for a leak before he went to sit in the city centre of Antakya begging for food and drink until it was nine at night to go back to his friends, having another two-hour discussion before he fell asleep on the concrete floor in an alleyway.
--------------------------
Time to add Turkey to the list of countries of SCW champions when I win the Adrenaline title, youtube.com shoot. (On-Camera)
“So I'm facing an opponent who doesn't care whatsoever about the wrestling business and doesn't care at all about becoming the Adrenaline champion, Dexter Grant. I question everything since you've come to the wrestling business, why you're actually here to spread your wings about being anti-social media rubbish, you're spouting off to everyone. I personally don't care about it myself, but one thing I do care about is becoming a champion here.
I give you credit where it's due, though. However, I've got questions about that I'll address after I've mentioned this, you did beat Glory Braddock, an opponent I've always wanted to face since the day I got here because of her technical wrestling for the Adrenaline title and defeated some of the top names here in spreading your word about people not doing this and that on social media.
Bravo, Dexter, you accomplished something you dislike. You accomplished something that goes against your morals. Holding a championship and promoting it, which officially makes you the most enormous hypocrite this company has ever seen in its life. It scares the life out of you because of being in that spotlight. I don't have or use social media, so you can rule me out as someone who would ever use it.
But why on earth didn't you just lie down in the ring and take the pinfall from Glory for the three count in two minutes if you didn't want to become champion in the first place? Why are you in this business as a professional wrestler as a whole if your desire was to spread your wings on people not using social media? The job you'd be more suited to do is to become president of the United States, not be a professional wrestler.
You want to spread the word about your rubbish that nobody is listening to because this is a wrestling business, as you said, not an anti-social media business that politics should be the place for. I also heard you talk a lot of rubbish about my mentor, who was the reason Germany had a PPV. He paid for everything, including TV, internet, and radio deals, to promote SCW because he had been a big TV star before becoming a wrestler and car driver, which helped make SCW bigger. SCW and wrestling don't grow without promotion.
Certainly doesn't grow if people like you think SCW should be catered to one country. I wouldn't be here, nor would Dakon and Ludvig, if it weren't for Konrad giving them and me the opportunity to be professional wrestlers, as there are no wrestling schools in Norway, Sweden, or Turkey. Especially since I lost everything in the earthquakes. I had my money, phone, and credit card stolen from me and survived somehow, just begging for food and drink in the streets of Antakya, Turkey. I'm so thankful to be here and wrestle. I'm thankful my debut was against Xander, as I learned a lot from that match, and then I fought Diamond Steele, and then the fatal four way, where I learned a lot from Syren there too. I've fought more experienced wrestlers than you have in the three matches I've had here which is really sad to say the least.
Because, unlike you, I do need the money, as I'm living off the money from Ludvig and working in a Turkish restaurant I opened myself in Atlanta. I want my own home someday so I can start a whole new family of my own. I won multiple solo titles when I came to Atlanta because I wanted to be a wrestler in SCW so badly, to become champion in this company, and there's nothing more I wanted. I certainly want that Adrenaline title more than you, that's for damn sure. In fact, Turkish fans have never had anyone to support in professional wrestling, despite Turkey being known for its wrestling, oil, and amateur wrestling. However, the point is that until now, they didn't know anyone who could become a professional wrestler.
I aim to promote more European talent to get into the sport, as Dakon, Konrad, Oskar, and even Ludvig have already. So if the Turkish fans want to promote professional wrestling because I'm in the sport, good on them. If Turkish professional wrestling fans come to the wrestling school in Cologne, Germany, to learn to wrestle so they can one day be part of the wrestling business, that would be even better. That's what winning and holding this championship will do for me.
But as far as you saying I should come in and wrestle? Of course, I will, since it's been over a month since I last wrestled. It's all I want to do since I lost everything in the earthquakes, making myself lazy because I couldn't find anywhere to work to achieve my goal which was to be an MMA champion that I was training for before the earthquakes happened that shattered the shot I had to win a black belt, smashed a shot of facing the top MMA fighters.
Now, thanks to Konrad, who met me when he was fixing things up in Turkey, as he's passionate about climate change, it's time to become a wrestling champion, and I will take the title that doesn't belong to you and that you never deserved in the first place. I will pound on your head as well as wanting to throw acid in your face, because I can be extremely dangerous when I throw acid in your face.
Seeing your face burned is a mark you're making on the wrestling business as a whole. I want to become a champion much more than you ever did, so if you don't want to fight for the championship anymore, allow me to beat you down brutally, along with allowing me to throw acid in your face. I put in my submission hold and force you to tap out. I will make you suffer as you've never ever faced someone who will use violence to get what they want.
You will dislike me more than ever Dexter that actually wants to promote European wrestlers just like my team have to get into this sport and more so when not only I'd be the first ever Turkish champion in professional wrestling, let alone in SCW, but being the first member outside of Konrad in European Fiery Nation to hold a championship.
I will brutally beat you and use my technical skills, I will use my brawler wrestling skills, and I will certainly aim to use hardcore wrestling skills too to throw acid in your face so nobody has to see your sorry face ever again. So I will permanently remove you from not only SCW but also from this wrestling business, so you end up going and flipping burgers at McDonald's, because that will be the way you'll remove yourself from receiving public attention.
I'll gladly be the one who can save the Adrenaline title to go to a champion who will promote the belt, who will actually start feuds to cause trouble with the other wrestlers, because this championship division rarely has any of those over the last two years, and that's what needs to be fixed. All of those things is what I'm capable of doing. I've not had much wrestling experience yet, which is sad to say, given the state the Adrenaline division has gotten over the last few years, with a champion that will actually be hated, who can show up and show passion and dedication to being a champion, to destroy the goody two-shoe wrestlers out.
You're completely done, and I suggest you get in the ring and let me tap you out in two minutes to win the title, so you don't have to worry about being Adrenaline champion or being in the public spotlight ever again. I will even attempt to choke you out and make you pass out so you can forget walking away from Rebirth PPV with the championship that I've been working for my entire life because the era of The Turkish Acid Adrenaline Champion starts right after I've beaten your butt to become the new Adrenaline Champion.”
