Kemal's quest to improve on his stamina before being a professional wrestler and his first shot of a wrestling tournament to beat Polly down.

Cologne, Germany. Wednesday 1st November 2023. (Off-Camera)

Since Konrad had to go to America to compete for the Xfinity Series championship, Lord Raab however didn't have to go there as he had some time off from wrestling for a bit. So he was in charge of the training duties for Kemal, but not only that, but he decided that today, he was going to give Kemal a special treat that actually, Konrad setup before he left for America a week ago. They were in Cologne, but not at their wrestling school.

Kemal was lost and confused, especially when it seemed that Lord Raab had the paperwork that Konrad signed in hand to give to someone, but Kemal didn't know what the paperwork was or why he was in a location that he had never been or seen before. Didn't explore Cologne much apart from the Cathedral and the station before going to the wrestling school and restaurants nearby. But this was new for him.

Lord Raab: “Well, I hope you learnt how to get here.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “I didn't.”

Lord Raab: “You didn't because you didn't know you were going to come here?”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Yes, but why did you say what you said?”

Lord Raab: “Look up.”

Kemal didn't really pay attention to any surroundings around him until he did with him looking at what it seems like a stadium. It left Kemal confused as sure, he was so interested in this location because of the stadium, but he was confused and lost, mostly because Konrad hadn't told Lord Raab or at least to his knowledge about bringing him here. He reacted to this.

Kemal Yilmaz: “Wow, that stadium is huge. Still doesn't explain why I had to learn how to get here.”

Lord Raab: “Remember when Konrad and I said last week that we knew friends from a football team? This is the place Kemal. This is the place where FC Koln play and play as a reserves team.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “But wha........”

Lord Raab: “That's what this contract in my hand is about. You don't know this, but last week after the discussion we had, Konrad went over to them and told them about you and how you're so interested in playing football with them. They said bring him down and you bring down the signed contract by Konrad himself for you to play.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “I'm guessing because it needed to be with a parent or guardian to sign.”

Lord Raab nodded which was the circumstances Konrad did tell them about is what Raab was saying and he felt bad he had to bring the kid instead of Konrad because of Konrad's quest to win the Xfinity Series championship, but it was a whole new start for Kemal to do something he had interest in doing and Lord Raab says this.

Lord Raab: “Don't worry, I will take you back home so you can learn this route properly once again so you know how to get here from the wrestling school because you'll come here next time on your own.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Now it makes perfect sense.”

Lord Raab: “It sure does. Now, lets get you into the stadium and meet up with FC Koln reserves players and the FC Koln reserves coach himself.”

Raab patted Kemal on his back as they walked inside of the stadium with passes they had to access the stadium and the locker room as they walked in, turns out they were awaiting for more arrivals and the coach turns to Kemal and he says this.

FC Koln reserves coach: “Is this the player you mentioned last week, Konrad?”

Of course, because Konrad and Markus looked alike, it did leave Kemal confusion as he knew that Lord Raab had nothing to do with it, but Markus quickly corrected the coach.

Lord Raab: “Actually, I'm his twin brother, Markus Raab. He did sign this contract for Kemal to play. But yes, this is the player he mentioned last week.”

FC Koln reserves coach: “Welcome to the team Kemal, I'm your reserves coach, Evangelos Nessos. Now I heard you want to play football with us for the time being because you need work on your stamina?”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Yes sir. I want to be a professional wrestler and since I was found in the streets by Konrad himself, he and Markus said I needed to work on my stamina. Because I lost everything in the earthquakes. Even my family that died in the earthquakes.”

Which left a lot of players that arrived already in shock, even some players that heard of the Turkey and Syria earthquakes they all heard about as one of the players who knew a lot about the Turkey and Syria earthquakes shakes Kemal's hand as he addresses the situation to him together.

FC Koln reserves player: “Wow, I never thought I'd knew someone else who was a massive victim of those earthquakes. I knew a friend that lived in Syria and he also lost everything, even his family so I truly understand how you feel as he was so scared.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “I saw dead bodies of all of my family. My mum, she died when she was in the ambulance. That really freaked me out.”

Even this information that Lord Raab didn't know anything about as he gasps in shock as he pats Kemal on his shoulder, more when Kemal turned to Lord Raab with this new information, he was stunned and he says this.

Lord Raab: “Fuck me, you never told me that.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “I haven't told Konrad either about that. This guy seems to understand the pain I feel and the reason why I'm skinny as a god damn stick because I lack stamina and I want to improve it by playing football.”

Evangelos Nessos: “Well, you come to the right place, Kemal. We welcome you to the team. We've had many great players here from other countries that came to play with us in their beginnings. Although it's only a temporary basis as you're training to be a wrestler, this will benefit you. Konrad himself played football for a bit when he tried to lose weight.”

Another FC Koln reserves player: “It's true, I played with and against him in America once upon a time and he was pretty good. He stopped because I think he lost the passion for the game. Maybe his stamina was not on par anymore.”

Kemal was disappointed because sure, he wanted to play with and against Konrad, but he seemed to be way more successful and happier doing racing aboard. Everyone looked at Markus with them even got mistaken for Konrad because of how alike they are. But Lord Raab says this.

Lord Raab: “Anyway, I won't keep you guys waiting much longer. I will come back for you in the evening right this whole session finishes?”

Evangelos Nessos: “Yep, five in the afternoon we finish. See you later Markus, we'll take care of the temporary future star for you and give him a lot of drills to improve and work on his stamina for you and for Konrad.”

Lord Raab nods and shakes hands with the reserves manager and leaves the locker room and the stadium to go back to the wrestling school as the player that understood about Kemal's situation of losing everything in the earthquakes pats him and points where he gets changed as the reserves manager gave Kemal a kit, even with his last name on the back of it with the number twenty-six on the back.

Kemal's potential football friend: “I'm Dietmar Meyer, the striker of the team. Come and get changed with me. I take care of you. Anytime you want to talk about the earthquake, you can chat to me.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “And this friend you know that experienced them, you think you could get me introduced to him?”

Dietmar Meyer: “Of course, I only want the pair of you to connect, he comes from Syria himself.”

Evangelos Nessos: “We are all here I guess. Oh and I almost forgot you got to wear these football boots temporary as Konrad wrote down your shoe size for you to temporary wear them until you can afford your own football boots. We're going on the pitch now to do some drills and you come out after you get changed and after you explore where things are.”

FC Koln reserves captain: “I'm Henri Badenhorst, the captain of this team and welcome to FC Koln two team.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Thank you.”

Henri left along with Dietmar and other players in the team to allow Kemal to soak in the moment of being a temporary player for FC Koln two team as a reserves player as he took his shirt off and places his FC Koln two shirt on. In a way, Kemal was blessed that he was speaking to people outside of the wrestling school which was the first kind of interaction he had since after he was brought to Germany from Turkey. He then took his trousers off and puts on some red shorts with FC Koln logos all over it.

Then he places the shin pads on, also he was hiring for the time being as well and then he puts his FC Koln socks on before he puts on his football boots on as he laces them up and he breathes in and out, even drinking some water that was provided by him from the team as a welcome gift and he looks in the mirror, wearing his football shirt with his surname and number on the back.

He then explores a bit of the locker room at least, especially he did need to know where everything is. He saw the bathroom and a shower room, tons of places to have showers because of so many players in one locker room. He breathes in and out before he leaves the area to go on the pitch to do some stamina drills which was the main part of the training Kemal was going to do.

Time will tell if Kemal will play football reserves game in time before he travels to America to be a professional wrestler which Konrad said he will eventually go to do, along with living with Dakon and Ludvig as well. He joins with Henri and Dietmar who were going to be Kemal's friends at this point, something for him to do.

Kemal Yilmaz: “I feel good wearing this football kit. Makes me feel apart of the team.”

Dietmar Meyer: “Hell yeah it does.”

Evangelos Nessos: “Well Kemal, are we going to do some stamina training or are you going to stand there and talk?”

Kemal nodded at Henri and Dietmar, along with Evangelos as he was clearly not there to stand and talk, he was there to play as they provided like jumping over the plastic bars and then running to kick the ball. Really working Kemal up and the players just stood in shock, more that Kemal knew what he was doing.

Henri Badenhorst:  “Wow, I knew Turkey has a big football team and it's their popular sport there, but Jesus Christ kid, you look like you know what to do without being told.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “What I do is I learn by watching you guys. This is really good for working up my stamina all of this.”

Evangelos Nessos: “Good job kid, we're going to give you much more harder stamina tasks today as you did so well here that will push you beyond your limits.”

As the coach did just that as he gave Kemal a lot of jumps over the plastic bars a lot of times, along with running around the pitch, sometimes with the players and sometimes on his own. He was given a purple bib to place around him, as they've not really figured out what position Kemal was going to play in yet, most likely a midfielder because they needed more of those players and it was a perfect position to run with the ball. 

They had a break at one in the afternoon for an hour to have lunch, before they play a practice game with Kemal scoring a goal before at four thirty in the afternoon, they all get showered and changed from their football kit to their regular clothes. As they were getting changed, everyone pats Kemal on his back for doing a good job in his starting year of being a temporary football player, mostly to work on his stamina as well as being a professional wrestler.

Lord Raab stood outside the locker room of FC Koln team, waiting for Kemal, players greeting Markus, stating about Kemal impressing everyone, including the coach and how he scored goals and even assisted one for his team. Kemal came out and states this.

Kemal Yilmaz: “You should've seen me in my team colours, I looked awesome.”

Lord Raab: “All these players are so positive about you, telling me how you're scoring goals, even the coach was impressed. He did spot weaknesses in your stamina though, but we'll make you grow and bulk up a bit of weight. Come on, we better get back to the school. Think you've done enough training today, on the stamina front at least.”

Kemal knew he had to come back and forth between the wrestling school and football now that he was an official reserves player. They got on the train with Kemal writing down the train routes and then walked back to the wrestling school with Lord Raab and goes to his room to rest, eat food and sleep.

Shot of Adrenaline tournament chance against Polly Pingotti youtube.com shoot (On-Camera)

“So, you're still not really listening to my advice, are you Polly? Thinking you can get by your friends and without going all psycho. I know damn well if me and Oskar ever fought in a match, we'd be beating the living daylights out of each other, showing that hatred we have for one another because there wouldn't be a friendly respectful bullshit match like you, Colleen and Aisling would have as it's every person for themselves in the ring.

That's exactly what this tournament represents. I'm so proud as a technical wrestler to be taking part in a tournament that not even my mentor Konrad Raab has ever taken part in and he won't. Because me and Oskar are the future and so is this future San Marino kid I've briefly met last time I went to the Atlanta Wrestling Alliance show, even teaming with him a few times who has massive potential for this business.

That's for the future, right now, we're discussing how important this tournament is for both of us which of course means the world to become Adrenaline champions in this tournament, but I won't be playing to the rules like everyone else expects me to do. I'm going to do things that I want to wrestle like breaking limbs and bones out of everyone I face to make the cripple. Because that's the style of wrestling I love.

That's the style of wrestling I'll bring to you, showing you that you'll be that psycho Polly who wouldn't give a shit about her friends and focus on her own goals. I don't care about Oskar and what goals he has. I'm concerned about me, myself and I. That's it and I will do everything to destroy you. OK sure, you've won the TV title from Lawler so maybe you've changed a bit with your attitude.

But I've yet to have seen the real psycho Polly I want you to bring to the match if you want to win, you got to bring that spark of anger. I certainly want to see it and I will bring that same intensity to you as well. You see, I don't need to swear like my other colleagues, plus, it goes against my religion to swear. I'm still the first Turkish wrestler to enter in this company and possibly in the wrestling business as a whole that isn't using religion against people to use like a wrestler I used to know who did this.

All I want to do is beat the shit out of you and I want to use something that I've yet to use in SCW, using a thing called acid. It's the reason why I wear this mask as well because I preach on the usage of acid to throw in your face to burn you. You can't burn me with the acid unless you remove my venom mask. Because I'm an angry kid that never got liked or respected in life since after the earthquake disaster in Turkey and Syria in two thousand and twenty three.

You always had everything handed to you on a silver platter. While I was going to be an MMA fighter and lost every chance of that because of the damn earthquake and I was going to either kill myself or be killed in the streets. But thanks to Konrad who's been my guiding light and the only person in the world to give a shit about me, I have a dream of becoming a wrestling champion and that will mean so much more than you getting a ticket to the free way to the top because you never experienced a tragedy of losing your family in an natural disaster and having a mother who died in an ambulance near enough in my own arms after being pulled from broken buildings. While I saw dead bodies of the rest of my family.

You don't know shit about that life Polly and that's why I'm going to show you the piece of turd that I am to batter and brutalise you and not just with hardcore weapons, but with your body and limb which makes me more dangerous than anyone in The European Fiery Nation team. I love technical wrestling before hardcore wrestling so the chances of you being hit with a weapon is low.

More likely to break a bone before I touch a weapon. But I also not afraid to take full advantage of your weaknesses which is everything I have in my arsenal to break you in half and advance in the tournament with a ton of points to my name because I'm overall a better technical wrestler than you, despite the wins you've gotten as of late.

I want the psycho Polly and I want to throw acid in your face and other people's faces and I don't know why I've not done that yet. I guess to let Konrad go on his retirement tour before I stand out to be an acid toxic wrestler that I can be without using swear words and words that I don't go too far with. I'm going to end up winning a ton of Adrenaline tournament points and you'll end up losing because you don't stand a chance. I'll make you tap out in pain and advance in the tournament, period. Watch out for the acid Kemal Yilmaz being on the loose.”
