Meeting Konrad's twin brother for the first time part 2 and loving the chance to face another techincal wrestler that Kemal will win.

Cologne, Germany. Saturday 30th September 2023. (Off-Camera)

They were still at the Italian restaurant as they were for a while enjoying their meals with vegetarian pizza, while Lord Raab went for pasta bolognese as it was silent between the two, along with drinking orange juice and a pint of beer as it was famous in Germany for people to drink beer. Of course, it was getting a little busier and Markus knew he had to continue where he left off with the story as they had finished half of their food to talk again.

Lord Raab: “So I missed quite a bit out. In the beginning, I had a horrific night of being abused in both forms of way and so I slept in the street and woke up the next day and found some rope and a pole so I placed my neck on the rope and tightened it.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Then, you saw the hardcore match?”

Lord Raab: “There was this guy who saw me committing suicide as I didn't have any goals or a career like Konrad did, he was a famous TV show host and everything. Anyway this guy came over and he said, what you doing? I was discussing about what happened. Then the guy rushed over and got me off the rope and the pole.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Why?”

It was a good question that even Lord Raab himself shrugs his shoulders, still searching for the answers of why he was let go from committing suicide and he has made a few attempts in the past as well.

Lord Raab: “That, I don't know and I'm still searching answers for. Anyway he got me down and he went off. But what I did hear from Koln arena is the cheers, boos and screams so I went straight there and sneaked under the fence and got into the arena without anyone looking.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Then you discovered the hardcore match between the two guys?”

Lord Raab: “Yes. Security weren't as strict or secure back then so you could go and watch wrestling shows for free. You wouldn't be able to do that nowadays. But the reason why I have this mask is because the guy that I spoke to, he saw me as this angry kid and then gave me a wrestling fight and then told me he'll give me private lessons.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Ah, now it makes complete sense. So, what about your love life, which woman you're married to?”

This was where things can be very awkward as sure, it was a very open country and Kemal may has noticed a lot of them around, but Lord Raab knows about his Muslim religious views and how it would be against Kemal's opinions and Raab wasn't going to hide anything and pretend he was married to a woman.

Lord Raab: “I got to be honest with you kid, I'm married, but not to a woman. A guy called Samuel McPherson. You'll see him around the wrestling school too.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “My opinions don't matter as I learned overtime since being out in the streets, I have to be open to a bit more, but I can't betray my beliefs you know. So I respect that and not going to go crazy at you.”

Lord Raab: “I was expecting the worst. The guy, he can't speak so every communication we have is him writing. My manager Henry Losak wanted me to have someone to talk to beyond him and so he brought in Samuel McPherson.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Why can't Samuel talk?”

They took a break as they continued eating, especially how busy the restaurant was and decided to be silent for a bit as they enjoyed more of their food and drink as Lord Raab already pulls some money out as he knows he has to pay for food since Kemal obviously didn't have any money at the moment. Raab still remembered the question Kemal asked him and he responds after he finished his meal while drinking beer.

Lord Raab: “Because Samuel is autistic, but he's a lot more outgoing than I am. I used to have a fear of women a lot because of my past, but slowly overcoming them. I know it might upset you if I talk about this, but since we are going to work together, how were your family?”

Kemal Yilmaz: “It's fine. I'm glad you asked, not even Konrad has asked me.”

Lord Raab: “Because he's worried of offending you and losing you as his student.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “That I can understand. Anyway, we weren't a very rich family to begin with as my brother Timur ran a supermarket, my father used to run a bank, my mother was a chief and my sister was a hairdresser. I was training to be an MMA fighter and on that day, I almost was going to be a black belt, with MMA and Judo work. Until well you know.”

It was hard for Kemal to bring up his family and he thought Konrad didn't ask in fear of upsetting Kemal and Lord Raab nodded and patted him on the back, knowing it was hard for Kemal to talk about the past and there was something to add that could be the reason why as Lord Raab doesn't know what Konrad's spoken about with Kemal.

Lord Raab: “Seems like you all get along. Konrad on the other hand, my dad loved me, but he absolutely hated Konrad. Konrad was this weak kid believe it or not and my dad refused to have him fight back. He really hurt Konrad psychically and mentally and I guess that's another reason why he hasn't spoken about family life.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “I can imagine. Why did your father love you more than Konrad?”

Lord Raab: “I don't know to be honest with you. I really wished he treated me and him equally. He caused Konrad hell. In a way, I did feel sorry for him. Heck, I'm not sure if he's told you me and him never got along in the midway after what the woman did to us.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Yes, he told me about you two hating each other's guts in the past and all that story very well. What you did and everything. The fact he forgave you is a mystery to me.”

It certainly was as there was a lot more to be unveiled, something Lord Raab had never told anyone about apart from the family themselves.

Lord Raab: “Because our mother forced us to. Our dad died and then we were locked in a room together to sort our differences and then suddenly, we get everything out and had to get along as a family. So that's where we are today. We do our own thing and there's parts of me I wish that I could do.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Like what?”

Lord Raab:: “High flying wrestling. I literally couldn't land a simple moonsault, no matter how many times Konrad show me, he knew it was because of my size that I can't drop pounds like he could. He's always been a lot smaller than me and I've been bigger than him.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Who's older?”

Lord Raab: “I am, by five minutes. So you got any questions about wrestling before we begin?”

It did turn out that in fact, even with a limited amount of wrestling as Lord Raab went to pay the bill and then they left to head back to the gym, Kemal had a few questions to ask and he goes into it in detail.

Kemal Yilmaz: “What does Konrad mean when he said I can't use majority of my MMA moves?”

Lord Raab: “It means that you can't use some of the moves like arm and some choke moves. I know wrestling is more limitless than MMA, but just be careful what you do in the ring. I only know that because Samuel, he's also an MMA fighter too. Henry does a lot of talking for Samuel.”

Kemal was interested and he was enjoying the discussion he was having with Konrad's twin brother and knowing more about the family and for Markus to know more about Kemal and of course, it was a long day that was past ten in the night now and he says this to him as they reached to their gym headquarters.

Lord Raab: “I think you need to get some sleep kid as you got a lot of training to do tomorrow with me. I'll see you bright and early.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “For sure. Looking forward to it.”

It was a day that Lord Raab and Kemal Yilmaz really needed with each other to get used to one another and engaging with one another as well as Kemal went to his temporary bedroom where he had a TV and a video games console that Konrad and Lord Raab got for him which was a Playstation five, but he decided to go off to sleep tonight. While Lord Raab heads back to his apartment to get some sleep.

Time to get technical wrestling once again youtube.com. (On-Camera)

“It's been awesome to be facing technical wrestlers as of late since I arrived to SCW, testing my skills to a whole new level and to be honest, as much as I haven't admitted this and I should, but I respect each and one of you technician wrestlers. All of you that I fought so far have given me a hard time and I appreciate that. Because I was destined to be an MMA star, but enough said about that, the better.

Now I know I like the name of Striker mostly because part of a technician wrestler is the striking that you could do. Like for me, you're indeed a guy that could do MMA fighting if you could and you would totally give me a hard time as well.

Saying that despite the losses, I want to be technical, but I also want to be a hardcore wrestler as well. I want to have the opportunities to use weapons as well as this technical wrestling skilled opponents I'm facing. Granted, I'm aiming to be the best wrestler in The European Fiery Nation and the leader someday. It sucked that it wasn't us that injured The Connection last week. I wish it was us to make Konrad happy and I know he's not in a happy mood right now because he had to deal with a lot of stress as of late and I'd be careful of that if I was you Veil. But this isn't about Konrad, this about you David.

You got abandoned by the team as of late and seem to go your own path, well except Dumont who has had trouble with Fall Of Men lately. Funny that Konrad hasn't fought one of those since they returned. But you seem to have a lot of issues with them. Ironically, we're dealing and finishing issues with both Connection and The Project. I'm getting sick to death of facing The Project every single time.

That's where we have things in common David along with the fact of you saying you're a technical wrestler too. Great, I love facing guys like you and I love the name Striker as it reminds me that you'd be striking me hard, but the difference is Konrad is back for this show and sure, I was a little rusty leading the team, but it was my first time since I joined the roster and I know I got to do a lot better to encourage and lead the team.

As I'm European Fiery Nation's main star and then it's Oskar next year when Konrad retires to the sunset of being a NASCAR Cup Series Driver full time. But I'm going to do everything to make sure that you'll suffer the consequences of me actually accomplishing to beat you in the ring. Yeah, what Fall of Men did with William was cowardly, he was a coward to say all that stuff about you and then having to get Dumont arrested instead of fighting him himself..

That's what I dislike about managers that they get wrestlers into more trouble than the wrestlers themselves. That's why I refuse to have a manager because of these situations and this team doesn't need one. In fact as I said, our team is going to grow under my leadership as well. But I got to beat and destroy the living hell out of you, despite your best efforts here and that Underground title match against Kim will always be remembered.

But maybe why not just challenge one of the Fall Of Men members? We're planning to challenge two teams at the same time at Rise To Greatness event, you know that PPV everyone is talking about as I'm aware of it as so does Oskar too.. The point is David is it doesn't matter what you say or do to me or Fall Of Men, I'm going to do everything it takes to win this match against you and you can be stopped..

You can use all that ounce of anger on me and try to beat me down and try to use all your technical moves on me, as much as I respect you, you're not winning this match by a long shot. I want to throw some acid in faces, not on you, but on The Project as I develop Acid to cause having burns in a way Konrad wants me to embrace, but in a way that suits me better.. I'm going to beat you down because I want and need this win more than you and good luck out there David, because you're going to need it.”
