Kemal's first experience as a reserves soccer player game and showing respect for Kim, but wanting the match to be brutal and chaos.

Cologne, Germany. Saturday 2nd March 2024 (Off-Camera)

Before the FC Koln Reserves game against Oberhausen reserves.

Today was the day where Kemal was going to make his debut, not as a professional wrestler, that will come in April, but his debut as an reserves soccer player. Of course, he was the striker of the team and was on the starting line up, although he'll have to be subbed in half way because he was still new to the team. Still, Kemal was smiling, especially that while for obvious reasons Konrad couldn't be there to watch him play in attendance, Lord Raab however certainly could as he was at the special VIP stands, watching Kemal.

It was a pretty big moment for Kemal, despite wondering if Konrad was there if he was proud of him as they were in the locker room, before the game begin. Even his friend he had consistently worked his stamina with, Noah Klein was in this game as well, sitting next to each other as they were getting changed into their gear and Kemal looked in the mirror and for the first time since before the earthquake, the shirt club logo meant more than being apart of a club, it's a family, one that was expended.

It was a big moment for Kemal as he breathes in and out, feeling the nerves due to the massive pressure he's about to face, although it was good for him to feel it now than debuting as a professional wrestler in America and the coach, Evangelos had spoken to everyone from the room directly on what they should do. Except for Kemal as he was about to say right now what he wants Kemal to do.

Evangelos: “Kemal, take things easy out there, but you got to watch out for the number eleven, he's a slippy player that could catch you off guard. A lot of players have. Just watch out for him, other than that, play the best you can.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “Yes sir.”

Evangelos: “I want everyone to make sure to take care of Kemal on the pitch as he's never played a game with us before and we're all here to assure that he will do just fine out there. He's been working a lot on his stamina and he has only a month here before he goes to America to be a professional wrestler.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “It means so much to me everyone that I'm going to play on the pitch with you all for the first time as an extended family. Sure, the team I will be with are my first family, but when I go to America to wrestle, I will never ever forget the mark I made by playing for this team.”

The players cheered as if Kemal's really apart of the team now and even the coach applauded, knowing it was a big moment for Kemal who knew this was his one chance of delivering the goods and how this was a reward for him than a punishment. Evangelos saw all the players were ready, even if the team had to provide Kemal some football boots because he couldn't afford them, but knew that Raab brothers would have to buy a pair next time.

Evangelos: “Now, go out there and show everyone what you're made of all of you.”

That's where everyone stood up and left the locker room to stand against the other players they were playing against and then they set out for the field, even if there was a small amount of audience, compared to the main squad where there's sell out crowds every Saturday and the main team were away against Düsseldorf this weekend. Kemal stood there before he went to the position he was told earlier in the week and the game kicks off.

--------------------

Half-time of the FC Koln/Oberhausen reserves match.

Everyone got back to the locker room as the game was tied up with one goal each and it turns out, even in his very first game, it was Kemal who scored the goal which every team applauded when he walked back to the locker room which led for Evangelos to pat Kemal around his back, knowing it was trust the team had, but Kemal because he hadn't really been applauded for anything, apart from wrestling training that he does well got into tears which everyone knows the history of Kemal's story of where he got to and where he ended up now. Noah looked at Kemal's tears dripping down his face.

Noah Klein: “Hey, you're one big part of the family here Kemal.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “It's more than that. Apart from my wrestling training, I've never been applauded for something big like this since before the earthquakes.”

Henri Badenhorst: “We totally get it and you've had to go through a lot to get where you are Kemal. There's no shame at all whatsoever to cry like you have when it comes to this game. You've earned every single bit of it and you've delivered. We discussed long before you got to the locker room that we wanted to give you an opportunity to score.”

Noah Klein: “Yeah, it's true.”

Evangelos: “The team captain isn't wrong Kemal, I wanted the team to pass the ball to you to score to give you that experience of celebrating, give you the experience of players hugging you that you need outside of the wrestling ring and outside of the Raab Brothers. I know that one of them isn't here, but if he saw you score that goal, he'll be proud of you.”

Kemal took a drink as so do the rest of the players as they look at the redefined play lineout with a few changes, even Kemal had a change in the start as well which he nodded with and although he got dirty, the players were shocked to see how well Kemal lands on the pitch. Little do the other players know Kemal's real dreams.

Henri Badenhorst: “You did good and we expect you to do the bump landings when players tackled you, but I think you turned heads there on them being shocked on the other team.”

Evangelos: “They don't know our little secret with Kemal and we're going to continue that way to keep it between us.”

Every player was surrounding Kemal as a job well done and even if he had to kick things in wrestling and his former MMA days, they were still impressed how well Kemal kept up with the players, despite the stamina issues that was very well known to the team in the beginning, but now, the stamina issues are slowly going away.

Henri Badenhorst: “The fact is you're improving a hell of a lot on your stamina that I didn't even know if it really was Kemal out there. You scored that goal like a bullet, although that's to do with that thing you're going to do.”

They had to keep the idea on a down low as the walls were very thin and the other players can hear every word they were saying.

Kemal Yilmaz: “Yeah, I'm going to continue to score goals for you all, although I want to see Klein to score goals too because he deserves that after the support he's given me during my stamina training.”

Noah Klein: “I've scored goals in my time with the team bro. Anyway, I think our time for a break is over and time to get our butts back on the field to play more.”

Kemal Yilmaz: “I can't wait to do more games like this because I'm really am enjoying myself and it gives me the experience of performing in front of a crowd that I've always struggled with admittedly.”

Evangelos: “Come on guys, time to get back out there and play.”

That they do as everyone got their boots back on and had one quick drink which Kemal drank a lot of water before he went out there to play, even if it was a learning experience before he becomes a professional wrestler to be comfortable performing in front of a crowd as he didn't come close to preparing anything like that for MMA. Still it was overall a positive experience and Kemal scored another goal with the team winning two to one. Kemal met Lord Raab after the game and went straight back to the wrestling school.

Different video approach with Kim Williams today youtube.com shoot. (On-Camera)

“I'm not going to get into the whole boring event I was in to be honest because well, you know what happened and not going to go into details about it. But what I want to do is be natural which is exactly what I want to do here with Kim Williams today because the hate I usually do with wrestlers will not apply here. Why? Because you know the history between Konrad and Kim? You know they hated each other in the beginning. But while Kim wanted Konrad to be friends with her, it took Konrad an awfully long time that actually, Kim wasn't lying about being friends with him at all, it was genuine and he had to give in.

The fact you managed to do just that Kim is mighty impressive and that's why I will not talk crap about you. No way you deserve that and also, I honour the traditions of the friendship you and Konrad have had and I want to keep things that way, especially that you love that European Fiery Nation are doing something as a tag team that you know full well you love with the chaos aspect of things.

You know doing things as a tag team that they want to make things hardcore wrestling, even turn the tag team belts as hardcore tag championships because they want to be different. The problem with this roster is everyone takes things too seriously. Granted, I tend to do that as well, but there's a reason I wear the venom mask. Because to stand myself out and I didn't want to be this boring guy that's just good at wrestling and good at technical skills.

I wanted to be a wrestler with some personality to myself. Of course, I'm never going to be as charismatic as Oskar or even Federico are who are very young with all of those qualities in them, despite Oskar not really talking to me still. But Kim, this match is going to be better than anything you do with the waste of space Polly. Going to be better than the underground matches you've had with Colleen who as I said, she only wanted to go for the underground title because so it'll have her title name on it. She was never an underground wrestler.

But you made it your entire personality and I actually like that. I respect that from you because you might be interested in the path of being a world champion, something I aim to do someday when I get myself out of this funk I'm in, but while I respect and admire everything we do, heck I want to be your friend just because Konrad has literally told me to still keep in touch with you, we'd be more than happy if you teamed with us one day, like with Gavin as well.

You and Gavin are the only people on this roster outside of EFN I actually like and get along with and that's more than Konrad ever had. Still the point is despite everything I've said, you expect me to go hardcore on you, you'll get just that because hardcore wrestling is my second favourite wrestling type. Nothing comes above technical and submissions based wrestling. It seems bosses are still not listening to my demands about wanting to face Glory Braddock in an ultimate submission match that I've wanted.

Na, lets ignore Kemal Yilmaz's demands and put him in some stupid match at that Fatal Fortunes event. Anyway, despite everything I've ever said about you Kim, I still treat you as if I'm facing Oskar, Gavin and Federico, beating the living daylights out of you, covered in blood and even some liquid acid that I won't hesitate to use on people. The fact is I don't really care about this tournament, like you because you find it boring, why bother caring when I'm completely out of it?

What I'm going to enjoy is the brutality and hardcore we'll unleash on each other, tearing the house down to show one another what bunch of brutality hardcore wrestlers we actually are. I will use my technical and submission moves on you, that's a given, but I can't wait to smash your head with my fist, with blood on both of our faces and even to beat each other down the way Konrad would've wanted with the pair of us because nobody wants to see five star respectful matches.

I wrestle you like I really dislike you because there's no respect once the bell rings and one of us will end up getting the win. I'd say the same to Federico and Oskar as well and they'll say the same to me, even Gavin too because we're wrestlers here to compete and we'll tear the life out of each other. That's a given at this point. Nobody is going to say, Kemal doesn't do hardcore wrestling after this match and I do hope the match changes to Underground rules because truthfully, you know you want that too.

Oh and I can't wait to meet your Wasley Penguin who Konrad told me a few things about, even if he had reconstruct him. The point is it doesn't matter who's going to win, it's going to be a bloodbath massacre and that's the kind of wrestling I'm looking forward to as I've not shown my hardcore skills yet and I'm going to deliver on that, being capable of going so far to win a match because this will be for fun. See you out there Kim.”
