Opening up a gauntlet challenge at High Stakes IX Supershow Jake's camera.

Jake Raab: "In the past few days, I had an idea that I think wrestlers and staff would like and not seen much in SCW. Instead of a one on one open challenge, I want to do an open gauntlet challenge match at High Stakes IX Supershow event. It will be open to any SCW and SCU wrestlers where I will be in the ring, wrestling against anyone who accepts the challenge. Wrestlers will come out one by one to face me. I know a all of you will do everything possible to beat the hell out of me.

The challenge is whoever eliminates me by pinfall or submission is the winner and the gauntlet will be over. If I pin or submit a wrestler, then another wrestler will come out and fight me until there's no more wrestlers left to beat me. I wanted to say that before the next show of Climax Control."

 Having words about Jake's attitude. Unknown location. Monday, 19th August. (Off Camera)

Throughout the entire time, Jake had to deal with people speaking negatively, especially regarding Austin James Mercer, Justin Mountain, who was on the ship, continuously shook his head, being very disappointed with Jake. Of course, Jake was in the other room, spending more time in the room so far than coming out to interact with other wrestlers, more spending time with Olivia who was on the ship with him.

Which was good for Jake because he was all alone in some stages, although he deserved to be alone, it wasn't something Jake would be able to handle in his view, toxic environment and while Justin was in the other room, he gets up, shaking his head before leaving his cabin bedroom.

Jake opted for the cheapest cabin mainly because he didn't feel the need to fork out an expensive one just for him and his girlfriend. Justin knocks on Jake's cabin door as Jake holds his arm back to Olivia, in case someone tried to come in his room as he's very secure about anyone coming in. Because of this, Jake shouts from the other end of the door.

Jake Raab: "Who is it?"

Justin Mountain: "It's Justin Mountain. Do you mind if we go to my room to talk?"

Jake Raab: "Sure."

Olivia grabs hold of Jake, but he shakes his head and says this.

Jake Raab: "Don't answer the door to anyone. You stay here."

Olivia nodded as she passed Jake his cabin room key before Jake quickly opened and closed the door. He walks with Justin to his room which he has the key and allows Jake in as he closes the door behind him, knowing it's just him and two other wrestlers on the cabin floor with him. He took a seat on the table as Justin sits next to him as he speaks while shaking his head.

Justin Mountain: "Well, haven't you got a lot of explaining to do, young man?"

Jake Raab: "I guess so."

Justin Mountain: "What do you mean, guess so? There's a lot to talk about, and quite frankly, I'm very disappointed in you, acting like a big child about things said online. That's not like you thought you learnt your lesson last time."

Jake Raab: "I would have if these fuckers didn't talk shit about me behind my back on social media and attempted to address shit to me On Camera or backstage. I'm sick of it."

Justin Mountain: "That's not the point, is it? You can easily ignore them and forget about their comments. You can be a man just doing your shit in the ring."

Jake Raab: "How many wrestlers ignore what I've been doing in the ring? I can't stand Austin, he demands respect and quite frankly, he doesn't deserve it."

It was clear as day, Justin saw Jake needed to rant to someone about his issues, someone who has a connection with some of the other SCW wrestlers and it's clear to this point, how much Jake wanted to leave SCW from the look of his eyes.

Justin Mountain: "Look, I understand you're upset about Austin taking the piss out of your family, he has no right in doing that, but the fact is he has deserved respect from his achievements."

Jake Raab: "I rather kiss a toilet seat. Austin is a disgrace to that title. Austin doesn't fucking show up half of the time when he's not wrestling, and he's champion. I don't give a flying fuck about him, nor should I when I forget he's champion at times. At least Fenris showed up and cared about being champion every week on Climax Control. Austin doesn't even put that effort in at all."

Justin Mountain: "I understand you don't want to lie to yourself and pretend to respect someone when you don't. However, you're attitude alone for the upcoming match, come on man, don't you care about the title?"

Jake Raab: "No, not when Austin has the belt."

Justin shook his head, not really caring for the opportunity because of his dislike for Austin, but the problem was he hasn't shown how much he cared for the title or rather his lack of passion for wanting to face Austin which there wasn't, especially Austin never wanted to face Jake in the first place.

Justin Mountain: "Nobody is saying you have to respect him, but you need to tone your shit down."

Jake Raab: "Funny when people tell me to respect him, though, isn't it?"

Justin Mountain: "I meant nobody is telling you to respect him as a person, but you have to realise the reason people respect him is because of his skills in the ring and how he earned his way to getting the belt because he did beat Fenris fairly for that title. He's the top wrestler right now, and if you hate him that much, you should want to take the belt away from him. You should care about him holding the title and prove it not just with your skills, but with words as well."

Jake Raab: "Hard to prove myself when every wrestler in SCW says I don't deserve title shots. How am I meant to counter that back?"

Justin saw Jake's point; it was clear that nearly every wrestler in SCW had called him out for not being deserving for a title shot and Jake was about to walk away from Justin as he holds Jake's arm and says this.

Justin Mountain: "You prove it in the ring and to be honest, you need to state how close you came to beating Austin and be more passionate about it."

Jake Raab: "Why, when I know what I did and when wrestlers can easily view the match against Austin on the SCW website?"

Justin Mountain: "Because as much as you want people to view you as a threat, bragging about things isn't a bad thing to do because it will make wrestlers and people pay attention and for them to go back and rewatch the tape."

Jake came back and sat down, dropping his head to the ground, hating the fact he was forced to brag about his achievements and clearly, he didn't have to, but while it relates to Austin, Justin hadn't forgotten about Ty West, and he says this.

Justin Mountain: "Ty West is a guy your facing, mustn't forget that. Mustn't forget his skills and what he's done."

Jake Raab: "The guy makes me laugh, the fact he finds it alright to talk shit about me on twitter when I don't even have an account is ridiculous. Of course, I find Ty a threat, I've said that already, but there's something about him I spotted during my study on him yesterday. I'll mention it on my video in the week."

Justin Mountain: "Keep yourself under control. Listen, I think you would be respected more if you got your head down and got to work. However, you defending for Ben Jordan was the only thing you've done in your entire time in SCW that's been a positive. I liked that, however, the negatives outweigh the positives. You need to change."

Jake Raab: "I know I do, and I promise, I will."

Justin Mountain: "Good because right now, I don't think Ty views you as a threat because he's right, you care more about people calling you out than the match and the opportunity. Now I've drilled your head in with facts, you'll change now, and I hope it does. No more twitter talk nonsense and most importantly, for now at least, no more talking about Austin and talk more about Ty."

Jake nods as he stands up and Justin unlocks the door as Jake goes out of Justin's room and Justin closes the door. He opens the door and sees Olivia watching some film on her tablet since there wasn't anything on TV. He wasn't sure what, but they eventually connected the tablet to the TV, so they watch the film which it seems to be a comedy film on-screen and spent the entire time in their room, even if they slept during the day and only waking up at the evenings.

A basketball game between himself and Olivia. Unknown location. Thursday 22nd August (Off Camera)

As a promise made earlier in the week, it was that day when it was halfway through their cruise, and it had been quite relaxing, getting up late in the evening and doing things when everyone else was asleep. Everything so far with Jake and Olivia doing that, things had been a lot better, especially when it was two in the morning with them being the only ones on their deck who are awake. They sat up in their bed, and since it was their half-day on the ship, Jake asks Olivia a question.

Jake Raab: "Seeing we're halfway through this trip; how about tonight, we'll play basketball."

Olivia: "I was waiting for you to say that of course, we'll play tonight, getting ourselves out of the cabin room to play."

Jake Raab: "Sounds like a good deal to me, although skating on the ship seemed kinda weird, it was a good way for me to relax, without anyone in the way. That's the good thing about this night schedule."

Olivia: "Oh yeah, like how quiet it is, apart from the entertainment they have here, but I can accept you being away from all of that due to everyone having beef with you."

Jake Raab: "Anyway, fuck them, this isn't about them; it's about us, having fun just the two of us."

Olivia nodded as Jake and Olivia grabbed their towels and flasks full of water with them before leaving their cabin room and go straight to the sports hall, where there was a swimming pool, something Jake had planned to use later on in the week. However, it was his time with Olivia now. He goes back in the boat and asks for a basketball which they granted him one before Jake goes back upstairs and into the sports hall as he bounces the ball. He smiles, and he says this.

Jake Raab: "The first person who places in the ball twenty times is the winner."

Olivia: "Deal."

They start to play as Jake had the Basketball and he bounces around with the ball before Olivia took the ball from him and she puts the ball in the net. Jake nods and smiles, being impressed with how good Olivia was as she speaks.

Olivia: "I used to play basketball with my brothers who loved to play."

That was clear where she got the experience of playing Basketball from. It had been enjoyable with the dates they've been on with surfing the other day and now playing Basketball. Of course, nothing sexual other than kissing and hugging had gone on with Jake and Olivia yet, was still way too early in a relationship to do anything.

It was clear during their playtime of Basketball, Olivia was ahead by five points to Jake's two points so far in the game. Jake and Olivia were having a ton of fun, playing by themselves without any distractions going on. They took a break and sat on the playing pitch, drinking their flasks of water. After they've had a break, Jake and Olivia get back on the playing pitch to continue where they left off with Basketball.

Jake manages to score two more shots in the net but knew he had a long way to catch up Olivia who at this point was destroying Jake by thirteen points to Jake's seven. Olivia smiles as she sees Jake's struggling to catch her up due to how good she was, and she says this.

Olivia: "Seems like you got a heck a lot to learn about America."

Jake Raab: "I do because Basketball, it's not very well known in Germany, despite having some German basketball players. No wonder why you're good at this game."

Olivia: "It's because as I said, I used to play with my brothers. Let's continue before I whip your ass in this game."

Jake Raab: "Then I'll do practice shots of my own if I need to which it's clear I do."

They were giggling and laughing, even with the moon being out in the sky, being in the middle of nowhere on a cruise ship, it was still comforting away from home, and after the last twenty minutes of playing the game, Olivia did eventually win the game twenty to Jake's fourteen points. Before he does anything, Jake says this.

Jake Raab: "Today was a lot of fun; I'm glad I'm able to relax, playing this game with you."

Olivia: "I was having a lot of fun as well. Let's play again because you can only get better by playing Basketball."

Jake nods, knowing how right she was as she wanted to continue playing Basketball. It had been the first day Jake hadn't thought about Ty or the title contention match coming up. He was getting quite exhausted as so was Olivia. They stopped playing for a little while before drinking their flasks of water before they went to play again. It didn't matter for Jake if he was missing out on everything going on, but he didn't care as he wants to have fun, playing Basketball.

Eventually, Jake got better with the game, although Olivia showed him a few tips of how to get the ball into the net, accurately and how to handle the ball too. He continued to play, and he bounces the Basketball before he throws it into the net, and he says this.

Jake Raab: "Maybe Basketball isn't a bad sport, after all. I've never had this much fun the last two weeks for a very long time, especially when they don't involve archery, although nothing beats that."

Olivia: "Of course it doesn't, but it's all we can do with for now, along with you doing skateboarding on the ship too. It was clear you did need a girlfriend. Unlike some people, I see you as a great guy."

Jake Raab: "Yeah, Justin said the same the other day. He told me off for my actions. However, I want to continue playing again."

They do for a little while as Jake did a few hand tackles with the ball as Jake got the ball from Olivia's hand and he throws it in the net and Olivia giggles, and she says this.

Olivia: "Let me show you a slam, dunk."

Jake stops playing as he passes the ball to Olivia as she bounces it like mad and then she jumped up and dunked the ball through the net as Jake gave her a clap for showing her that move although Jake sees Olivia getting so worn out as she mentions this to him.

Olivia: "Before I go, I want to see you do a slam dunk."

Jake Raab: "Alright, but I'm taking you back to the cabin myself as I don't trust people around here."

Jake goes for it as he bounces the ball and runs with the ball before he turns and slams it backwards which Olivia claps and says this.

Olivia: "Most professionals wouldn't even get that right. Impressive dunk, Jake. However, despite having fun with you, I think it's time for me to call it a day."

Jake Raab: "I'll take you down."

Jake picks up Olivia's flask as Jake took Olivia out of the sports court and takes her back down to the bottom and into her cabin room. She thanks Jake and kisses him on his cheek before Jake closes the door and goes back up to the sports court and plays Basketball by himself until the sun rises at six in the morning.

It leads Jake playing for six hours, including the times with Olivia. When the sun was coming out, Jake leaves the sports court before he goes down to hand the Basketball back to the staff of the ship before he goes in his room to go off to sleep himself.

During their trip, they haven't seen or interacted with any wrestler from SCW as they preferred it that way with them playing Basketball, video games. They had their special movie night viewing on the ship with Jake going to the gym obviously for three days a week.

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

Title contention video. Unknown location. Saturday 24th August. (On Camera)

Before the video even starts recording, Jake sighs heavily, not wanting to speak on camera, but he had to, but luckily for him, he was able to relax this time around as the camera was set up near the poolside, but quite a bit away from it as Jake's wearing swim shorts as after he presses record on the camera, he gets in the pool and folds his arms on the edge of the pool and speaks while looking at the camera.

Jake Raab: “You are officially fucking stupid Ty. Honestly, show me where the fuck has the other two Raab's been giving you and everyone threats and crying about it? They haven't because they have their careers to focus on. I haven't spoken to them or seen them in months, nor have they seen me either cos they've been busy. Get your logic right. You state you got a twitter account because Effie called you out for noticing tweets on twitter? That's not being a man, saying shit directly in her face is, not typing behind a keyboard on a twitter machine.

I'll leave things on that part because honestly, I should be talking about you as an competitor, considering I got well lets say a disappointment telling off from someone who works for SCW and promised the person I'll forget twitter for now and I'm certainly not going to talk about the asshole Austin in terms of things on twitter throughout all of this either.”

Jake decides to forget about twitter because although it got him the match against Ty, he believes in what Justin said about focusing the competitive aspect of things and he continues to speak.

Jake Raab: “Yes, Ty, we know you were the Roulette champion, and you nearly defeated Austin. Guess what? In terms of nearly defeating Austin, so have I. I don't even know why I have to tell people I nearly made Austin choke, but that shows how much people watch what's happening in the ring doesn't it? Nobody ignores about your near-win against Austin for some reason, yet I nearly choked him out to win the title which everyone seems to ignore, despite it being on previous tapes.”

Jake hated to brag about his near wins because it wasn't his sort of thing, and he does a bit of swimming in the pool for a while, making sure he keeps his head straight, but there's something on his mind that Jake noticed while studying Ty on the day he got on the ship and spoke again.

Jake Raab: “To be honest Ty, you haven't been the most active wrestler these last few weeks. Last time you wrestled was against Ace Hart back in July, and that's over a month ago. That shows your lack of commitment to wrestling in SCW. Maybe the Austin loss you had might've affected you, but it didn't with me because I'm still willing to bust my ass every other week, wrestling my heart and pride on the line. What makes you think you're deserving of yet another opportunity for the SCW title when you've been sitting on the sidelines for a month, not doing anything to request for a match."

Jake knew he's right, considering he hadn't seen Ty wrestle since the match against Ace Hart or anybody for that matter, despite being active backstage and he speaks again.

Jake Raab: “I wouldn't sit on my ass for a month and wait to be booked, no, I'd go to the management and ask them to book me because I want to have a shot for the SCW title, unlike you just saying it with words. You're actions haven't proven that, despite how bad you talk about it. I haven't had a single break from stepping into the ring since April, and that's due to a family death. I've been wrestling consistently and getting better and better in the ring because I want the chance to go for the SCW title once again. My mentality needs work of course, but my skills have improved, and you'd be stupid to say it hasn't.”

Jake has a bit of a smirk on his face, feeling quite comfortable in the pool and he speaks again.

Jake Raab: “Of course, I've seen you improve as well with that Ace Hart match, but be honest, that guy was a prick, and I knew he'd leave the company sooner than later, didn't expect he'd go so quickly. Maybe I don't speak about people's achievements much, but it's because I don't need to, I prefer the hands-on approach to wrestling than talking about achievements.”

Once again, Jake went for a swim as it was late at night and it almost approached sunrise and Jake knew he had to wrap things up quickly and speaks once again.

Jake Raab: “I hope you're happy now I've viewed you as a threat and telling the world how badly I want to win the match and go for Austin's title, even though I use my fists and hands for that and prove it with my actions in the ring by beating the hell out of you just because I want to be aggressive and powerful in the ring by doing everything possible, using my anger to my advantage to either pin you or choke you out, depending what I feel like doing in the ring and win the match.”

Jake takes a deep breath for the last time before he swims a little bit more to refresh his mind and speaks for the last time.

Jake Raab: “I won't be sitting around and wait for opportunities, I'll do something about it, and if I lose, it's not a big deal because I can cope with losses, I've never bitched or made excuses for them, but if I win, boy I know Austin is going to hate the fact I'm able to prove him wrong by earning my shot for the title and beating you to do so because I believe in myself on doing so.

As I said previously, I view you as a threat which I always do with every opponent equally, unlike Austin and always have because you are a target, just as much as I'm a target for you. I'm also, of course, full of fire to beat you in the ring tomorrow night at Summer XXXTreme. See you in the ring tomorrow night, Ty.”

That was the end of the video as the camera shows Jake swimming for half an hour before the sun rises and gets out of the pool to press the recording button off and he takes the camera back into his cabin room and goes straight to sleep, while everyone else wakes up to the sun and go about their day.

 An unexpected visitor coming to Jake's house. Huntington Beach, California. Tuesday, 6th August. (Off Camera)

Ever since Gary got Jake hooked up with Olivia, Jake's been spending a lot more time with her, especially when they had their first date a couple of weeks ago, going to watch a film in the cinema which both he and Olivia enjoyed. They were sitting on Jake's sofa, watching Arrow TV series, something they both loved to watch. Also to fit in Jake's persona as well he has for the sport.

Olivia: "You should be more like Oliver Queen."

Jake Raab: "There are things you can't completely rip off in wrestling. That's why I can't be more like him. Hence why I wear German flag hoodie coat with the usual bow and arrow stuff to be different from him."

Olivia: "I guess you're right, considering I still know nothing about wrestling. I know you had a bad week, but things will get better, or at least they will."

There was a ring from his apartment as he looks a little shaky, and he says this to Olivia.

Jake Raab: "Hope it's not Markus."

Jake kisses Olivia on her cheek before he gets up from the sofa with Olivia pausing the video as he looked through the spy hole and he says this.

Jake Raab: "Ben Jordan?"

He relaxes a lot, seeing it wasn't Markus at the door, but at the same time shocked at the unexpected visitor popping around Jake's house as he opens the door and they shake each other's hands as Jake closes the door behind Ben and they walk into the living room and takes a seat.

Jake Raab: "I didn't expect to see you here."

Ben Jordan: "There are things we need to discuss man. Who's this lady here?"

Olivia: "Oh, I'm Jake Raab's girlfriend, Olivia. Are you one of Jake's friends?"

Ben Jordan: "More like a family friend."

Jake knew he wouldn't be able to have a proper conversation with Ben Jordan with Olivia around and he takes the Arrow DVD out and places it back in the box and places it with the other Arrow DVD's he has. He looks at Olivia and says this.

Jake Raab: "I'm afraid you have to leave for today. Because Ben needs to talk to me, you can come over tomorrow or whenever you feel like it, alright?"

Olivia: "I understand; I see you tomorrow."

Jake gave Olivia a hug and a kiss on her cheek before she goes into Jake's bedroom and bathroom to get her stuff as she then went downstairs and puts her shoes on to leave Jake's home. Jake then turns the TV off as they sat down and Ben speaks.

Ben Jordan: "I never got the chance to thank you for defending me out there with Kedron stuff going on."

Jake Raab: "You're welcome. You don't deserve the treatment you're getting from this Kedron asshole."

Ben Jordan: "And his wife."

Jake Raab: "Yeah, her as well."

Ben Jordan: "However, there were points Kedron made about why you did this for me now than a lot earlier?"

That got Jake crunched up a bit with his whole body as he shows regret on his face, looking down and disappointed with himself. Jake then lifts his head and decides to let the beans out.

Jake Raab: "Because I didn't know how close you and Markus were. He got so pissed at me for not knowing anything about the friendship you have with him."

Ben Jordan: "Well, I could've made more effort to meet you backstage and say hey, me and Markus are close friends. Konrad is a close friend of mine as well."

Jake Raab: "At least we're meeting now, that's the main thing. Markus told me the day after Samuel's dad's funeral that you and he are excellent friends, and it gave me a wake-up call to get in contact more with you. Hence why I stepped up to Kedron after everything you and your wife have done with Markus."

Ben Jordan: "Samuel's dad is dead?"

Jake Raab: "Yeah, you friends with him as well?"

Ben Jordan: "Yes. Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that about his dad, what happened?"

It was a lot closer than Jake thought with the Raab family connections to Ben Jordan. It occurred that nobody apart from Ben had the guts to be friends with Markus, especially as he shuts everyone off in wrestling usually, due to his trust issues with people. Cos Ben was so close to the family; Jake was able to explain why on Samuel's dad's death.

Jake Raab: "He died of a stroke."

Ben Jordan: "I'm truly sorry to hear that. However, even though you may think we're good, there's an issue I want to talk to you about, the way you're so defensive and aggressive to Austin."

That got Jake boiled up, the name of Austin, let alone Austin James Mercer makes his whole body shaking with anger.

Jake Raab: "I don't want to talk about that overrated piece of shit champion. Fuck that guy."

Ben Jordan: "Mate, I know he's not said pleasant things about your family which I don't agree with whatsoever, I understand why you'd get pissed at Austin for trashing Konrad especially who's not even in SCW or SCU, but you were over the top of bashing him a couple of weeks ago."

Jake Raab: "After the cheap shots he's given me all this time on me being a nasty piece of shit, acting like I'm a shit wrestler and an undeserving title contender with a win over Senor Vinnie that meant nothing? Damn right, I'm gonna get pissed about that and call his bullshit out."

Ben Jordan: "But you went way too far with it."

Jake drops to the floor, having doubts on what to do in SCW now on his behaviour being pointed out from the show two weeks ago and he says this.

Jake Raab: "OK, maybe I went too far to bash Austin, but can you blame me, though?"

Ben Jordan: "I don't mate, but to tone it down a bit because trust me, it will get you nowhere with respect, bitching about things. Just wrestle like I know you can."

Jake Raab: "I wish I could, but since these idiots think I don't deserve title shots, I don't want to wrestle for them anymore or at least not for the time being. Every time I have one, I always get told I never earned them and having them handed to me. I'm sick of it and sick of Austin and his friends  talking shit about me, behind my back like a bunch of cowards they are to talk publicly about me when it's only public to those who have twitter."

Ben Jordan: "Well, twitter is public, but yeah, I don't agree with them talking about you where you aren't even on twitter. It's how you said it, cowardly. All I'm saying is for you to relax on all of that and be a great wrestler I know you can be, just like your cousins."

Jake listens hard to Ben, he doesn't agree with him respecting Austin and he never will due to the amount of threats he's been getting from him to tone the bashing down on Austin, even if he will never respect him or even care for him. It was guidance he needed from Ben, who was the only person who wanted to speak to Jake on the SCW roster.

Jake Raab: "I will do my best to do that. I'm facing Joshua Acquin this week. I know what I have to do to turn things around, bit like him who is struggling solo's wise, but I will treat him as a threat equally."

Ben Jordan: "Yeah you should, considering he's been champion in the past and if Vinnie and Amy win the mixed tag title qualifier, he could be champion again."

Jake Raab: "At this point, I could careless on being booked for the Supershow, despite already, believe it or not, have experienced wrestling on a boat already, even in a style of the Roulette title type match. I entered myself in a battle royal over in a company called Emerge. I got more respect there than I got in SCW. It's the first time I felt wanted and liked from other wrestlers in the back."

Ben Jordan: "Well, I like you. After what you did to challenge Kedron because to prove to me you'd be there for me, I say you aren't a bad guy. It was a good thing Markus gave you a telling off for ignoring me, although as I said, I also should've approached you earlier as well. Nobody up until that point did anyone come to defend for me."

Jake Raab: "I'll gladly do it again."

Ben nods at Jake, he generally sees him as a good person, just a guy who's still new to the sport with barely any experience and was on a learning curve to learn from the experienced Ben Jordan, a guy that's been nice and calm to Jake on the issues he's having.

Ben Jordan: "I hope you can be a lot calmer from this point forward. Focus on your opponents, than the ones who aren't and not bash them so much."

Jake Raab: "I hear you, but I'm still gonna say something about the twitter thing later this week on video cos things do need to be said to those who talk shit about me. Everything else will be focused on Joshua Acquin. Thanks for coming by, you're always welcome to come over."

After Jake and Ben got off the sofa, Ben and Jake shook hands, getting into a bit of a hug before Jake opens the door and allows Ben Jordan out, and he leaves the house, leaving Jake with a lot to think about, even if he was able to do archery this week since the show was in California, so it wasn't too far for Jake to go to wrestle Joshua.

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

Need to bounce back to win matches again. Jake's camera. (On camera)

"Before I get to Joshua Acquin, I want to say this to people like Ty West and Griffin Hawkins. If you have a problem with me, have the decency to address me on camera directly where I can hear and see you both and challenge me for a match, not hide and discuss your thoughts to your friends on Twitter that's in public when it's only public to those who have a twitter account to see those comments. Considering I don't have a social media account, it's still behind my back to me so; therefore, you both are cowards.

Moving on, I'm facing against Joshua Acquin this week. I can say, well he's on a roll of losses, solo matches wise, like myself, but when it comes to wins overall, he's had more than me in these past few weeks, even if it's in tag matches. It's never easy finding a partner, especially a female one, willing to team with you. That's great to see how easily you can find partners to team with and I fail at doing that.

You're on a great run in the mixed tag tournament right now, and you could very well have a match at the Supershow for the mixed tag titles. It's pretty impressive as I know tag matches aren't an easy thing to tackle with. I think it's good you've got motivation with the mixed tag titles, and that should be the key.

The whole thing on liking to cause wrestlers pain and blood, you know damn well I have no problems getting my hands blooded if it takes me to win matches and if you want to fight that way. Bring it on because I won't be backing down from that fight. You always say you won't take things easy. I don't want you to take it easy on me or hold back, trust me because I want to bring that fire out of you and bring everything you have against me to motivate you to be more comfortable wrestling in a solo's match and I will do so.

But you've been around for quite some time, and sometimes, you need to change your style or find your wrestling persona. I have with The Fiery Target name; after all, I'm always full of fire and still a target for everyone, even yourself right now views me as a target. That's what needs to happen, Josh. Of course, we also need to bounce back from losses in solo's competition, especially in my case as I've not won a match since the Supershow.

It's time for me to make things right by beating the shit out of you, like you may want to do in this case and I got nothing against that. However, it's sad to say that only one of us can capture that pinfall or submission to get that win, and that will be me. See you in the ring tomorrow night, in California, Joshua."

 Ben Jordan family connection discussions. Saturday 27th April (Off Camera)

There was a time and a place for everything and since Samuel's dad's recently passed away, they've not had a chance to talk about wrestling or things regarding it since the day where they spent time to get used to other family members or talk about issues going on in wrestling in the case of Markus Raab and Konrad Raab. Today was a perfect day for Jake and Markus to get together and sit down to talk about things. Since they got close as family members, they haven't had much time to spend time together other than resolving situations with Konrad in the background and the phone discussion about Samuel's father's death.

But not when they were alone, face to face contact like they had today as Markus needed a talk with his cousin who although was doing well in wrestling, he sees Jake being unsure which he had every right to be. It's a rare case because it was Markus who requested to speak to Jake alone and he needed to rapidly before it's too late. They were sitting in Samuel's mum's living room, and Jake asks a question.

Jake Raab: "I don't know what you need to talk to me about."

Markus Raab: "Of course you don't, but you damn well know sooner than later what I'm about to talk about with you."

Jake Raab: "Oh, I get it, my behaviour in wrestling. Listen, I've been treated like shit over in Sin City Wrestling, especially by the kiss asses of Griffin, Alex and Austin. Of course, I'm gonna act erratic and blast them down."

Markus Raab: "No, I fully get what you're doing, and you have every right to act the way you've been doing. It's not I want to talk about."

Jake Raab: "Then what is it you want to discuss?"

Markus paused for a minute, being a little pissed at Jake for not knowing anything about the history of a wrestler who he considered the only guy who had faith in Markus, the guy who didn't treat him like crap in wrestling. He shakes his head, being evident to what's going on. He says this.

Markus Raab: "Ben Jordan."

Jake Raab: "What about him?"

Markus Raab: "Listen here, you fucking idiot, that guy is someone who should be your friend. Let me tell you a story. That guy is the nicest person on the planet. You didn't know how much he helped me?"

Jake Raab: "No."

Markus Raab: "In his video a few years ago, he flat out said he'd be friends with anyone, even with me. So it took me by surprise, knowing there's a small chance of me being friends with a wrestler that wasn't Samuel. So I took it, and he's been in contact with me ever since."

It was clear to Markus at least on the reason that Jake should care a lot more about Ben Jordan and he was silent, letting Markus speak as he continues where he left off while drinking water.

Markus Raab: "Ben helped me a lot, even helping me be social with other wrestlers, which was something I'm scared to death of doing, let alone be friends with Ben. He cared when I locked myself in a room while we were on a boat for me to come out and play football. He knew I hate boats with a passion, especially when J2H being my opponent was in the same place as me, which I hate more than anything."

Jake Raab: "Football, like Konrad, does for his hobby?"

Markus Raab: "Yes, but we played football in video games. His wife, Evie, done the same as well. My point is that you should get to know Ben Jordan when you get back. Trust me; I've never had any friends until he was brave enough to say he'd be my friend."

Jake Raab: "Oh, I didn't have any idea you both were close, especially you when I thought all of this time, you never had one friend in the wrestling business and I believed that."

Markus nodded like everyone thought the same when they hear the name Lord Raab in wrestling, a guy who was always lonely when Samuel wasn't around him, and Jake shook his head to himself, letting the part of the friendship slip away and he says this to Markus.

Jake Raab: "I'm sorry, I wish I knew before I stepped in SCW ring."

Markus Raab: "No need to be, of course, you wouldn't know. You just assumed me and Evie teaming up was a one-time thing. Well, it was meant to be, until Evie knew the root problems with myself. It was tough because Henry was there to help me, and she was too. She's the only person apart from my family and Samuel at the time to know about that day."

Jake Raab: "Is that why you and she were successful in the Blast From The Past tournament?"

Markus Raab: "Yes, that's exactly the reason. She helped me with the fear of talking to women and treated me like a normal person. I wasn't always nice to Ben at times, I was a prick to him, but you can do the right thing by helping him out. Take a look at his issues with Kedron. He's turning him into a sick human being."

After the story Markus told Jake about the connection Markus had with Ben Jordan, it was hard for Jake now to see what he means, he's aware of the issues Ben had with Kedron, and he took note on how much Ben changed Markus's life, and Markus speaks again to him.

Markus Raab: "That's not the Ben I know, he's usually able to take things like that, but just like Damian Angel's doing with Konrad, Kedron's doing the same thing, getting in Ben's head, it's sending him down the wrong path, making him doubt himself and force him to change. It's not Ben's style; I should know when me and Samuel challenged him and Jamie Dean to a hardcore tag match, and he refused because he's not a violent person."

Jake Raab: "So I'm guessing it's so vital for me to get to know Ben and keep the family friendship going?"

Markus Raab: "You damn right, it is. I wasn't a hero to Ben, nor will I ever be, but you do. You got the opportunity to show Ben that the Raab's can be trusted by being there and beat the living shit out of Kedron. If you want to turn over a new leaf, to show and even to tell the world you care about Ben, this is a way to do it."

Jake nods, knowing it's going to be a vital thing going forward to interact with Ben and even protecting him at all costs, even if he didn't know or talk with Ben as of late and realising how much it changed Markus's life, it's going to stick on his mind for quite sometime, even a goal for him to do in Sin City Wrestling. Markus then says this after drinking some water.

Markus Raab: "Be there for Ben, protect him at all costs, challenging Kedron for a match and thank Ben because I wouldn't be a dad to two boys sooner than later if it weren't for him. Now maybe, you'll understand why I was pissed off with you earlier."

Jake Raab: "If I'd known before you told me, I would've done something a lot earlier, but now you come to think of it, you're right, nobody in SCW has seen a Raab defend for another wrestler. Understandable, you didn't want to, but glad you feel I can do the job. I'm glad you've opened my eyes to everything and realise, this is a fantastic step forward to focus on Kedron and get my hands on him."

Markus Raab: "Because you have to, to keep the family friend connection open and give something back to Ben Jordan after everything he's done with me, Samuel and Konrad, now it's time for you to return the favour. If you have to get your hands dirty to beat on Kedron, so be it, but it's time for you to take action and the time is now."

Jake Raab: "I understand, I have him as my target when I return to wrestling. It might not be straight away, regarding what I need to do, but I promise you, I will defend Ben Jordan and will have Kedron Williams as my target and destroy the fuck out of him."

Markus nods, now he sees Jake understands the situation of how vital the friendship between Markus and Ben was and has that as a goal to look for, especially he sees in Markus's eyes and his tone of voice how much the friendship meant to Ben. Jake ignored him, and he shouldn't have done. Now, he aims to come back to Sin City Wrestling and do the right thing, something he can follow through. Samuel, his mother and his brother, came back from their day in the park. Markus and Jake spent the whole day with them.

Jake's first-ever immediate level archery class. Gilroy, California. Friday 19th July. (Off Camera)

A lot of things happened to Jake in a short span of twenty-four hours on that weekend. He won his match against Senor Vinnie who he'd prefer not to brag about, mainly because he didn't want to go back to his old ways, even being in the conversation for an SCW World title shot with hard work. Jake won an archery tournament as a last-minute replacement for a guy who had to be with his mum in a hospital that leads to him being promoted to the immediate class, next step to being in the expert class.

Although a lot of people did see Jake's weaknesses today, the weakness he showed in his first-ever immediate class happens to even the most experienced archers at times, missing targets. Of course, when Jake does, it means he's not focused, but for him, archery was a way for him to relax, taking the pressure and the stress away from his job for his hobbies. One of his new friends, Ian, comes towards Jake and says this.

Ian: "Are you out of your mind?"

Jake Raab: "What do you mean?"

Ian: "You realise you challenged a guy who gets into people's heads so easily, you realised he'll likely expose you for your weaknesses?"

Jake Raab: "Do you think I care? No, because as I said last week, this match between me and Kedron, it's not about me, it's about Ben Jordan."

Gary walks by as they were on a break at the moment from shooting so many arrows for two hours at a time and nods at Ian, although the part about Ben Jordan left them lost, and Ian says this.

Ian: "Why?"

Jake Raab: "I should've been there for Ben a few months ago, but I only knew how vital it is for me to keep the family friend connection close, especially Markus Raab. He's my cousin, and Ben Jordan was the only person ever to be friends with Markus."

Gary: "Did Markus say for you to defend Ben Jordan?"

Jake Raab: "Yes, he did. I've never met the guy personally, but I've seen the struggles and how much hell Kedron is putting Ben Jordan through, even his wife too, but she's no longer apart of the wrestling business, mostly because of Kedron. I take anybody who's a family friend, very seriously."

Ian: "Did he tell you anything about his past with Ben, then?"

Jake Raab: "A lot, but he's also friends with my other cousin as well. Ben helped Markus with a lot of things, along with his wife as well. That's why it's important for me to do anything possible to give back the respect and helpfulness Ben had for my family."

Both Gary and Ian nod at everything Jake said, feeling that pent up anger as Darren when he saw Jake's anger, he pats him on the back, wondering why it came so quickly as while everyone else goes off from their break and get into their archer positions, including Jake himself, Jake explains to Darren as to why.

Jake Raab: "I'm a pissed off man, a man who's going to hit all of my targets in front of me, especially that asshole Kedron."

Darren: "If that's going to help you focus, that's a good thing."

Jake focuses on the targets laying in front of him as he takes his shot and he may have missed one, but once he feels comfortable, he manages to shoot the targets, even though it was at a slow pace compared to the others, but he's new to the class, and things were confusing for Jake to understand, especially the speed shoots.

Jake Raab: "I don't know if I can catch them up in speed. It's difficult to shoot that fast within minutes."

Darren: "Might be difficult because it's your first immediate class, but I know for sure, you'll be on the same speed as them in no time. The problem is your slow at aiming at your targets, some of these guys, even in the expert level, still, have the same problems."

Jake Raab: "So it's a common problem?"

Darren: "Yes, but trust me, that anger focus, where is it? I heard you talking about Kedron Williams. Imagine if he was standing here now, what would you do?"

Jake Raab: "Shoving the arrows up his ass and beat the living shit out of him."

Darren: "There you go, although I also heard you aren't doing the match for yourself. That's kind you're willing to stand up for someone who as you said never engaged in a conversation. I think that kindness can be a way for you to help out the newer archers to settle in this place in the future. Try your best and keep going."

Jake Raab: "Alright, but the reason I'm doing the match is because of the family friend connection both of my cousins have with him, especially with one of them who doesn't have any friends in his life, apart from Ben."

Darren decides to let Jake get on with the shooting, nodding to understand Jake's reasons for challenging and fighting Kedron Williams, which was an essential reason for Jake to do so. Jake uses the anger he has boiling up, and he shoots at the targets, spot-on without a single miss with the arrow. Suddenly, Gary walks with a girl as he says this.

Gary: "This girl here, Olivia wanted to see you."

Jake was so focused on his targets that he didn't pay attention to Gary until he turns around and sees him and the girl seems to like Jake, maybe more as Olivia hugged Jake as Jake startled when she places her arms around him and pushes her off.

Olivia: "I've seen you around Jake, and you're so fucking sexy."

Jake Raab: "Well, um, thanks. I get right with you later alright, I want to finish these targets off."

Olivia decides to stand and watch Jake as she watches him target arrows, although she sees Jake being outraged, his mind is about anger and focusing on the targets as Gary sees Olivia still watching Jake, although moves back a bit when she watches him shoot the arrows. Once he's finished, Olivia speaks to him with her eyes looking at Jake's.

Olivia: "You'll get much better Jake. Just need to be faster while aiming for your targets because if you were taking part in the Olympics, you would've been Disqualified."

Jake Raab: "I'm not doing it to take part in the Olympics to win gold, no it's about what I love to do. I may get medals in the way, but they won't mean a thing. I'm a professional wrestler."

Olivia: "Of course, silly me, forgetting about you being a professional wrestler. That's how I fancied you in the first place."

Jake Raab: "Um, how long you've done archery?"

Olivia: "Since this club opened three years ago."

Darren: "Enough with the chit chat, get back to shooting, both of you."

Olivia kissed Jake on his cheek before they did more shooting with their targets in their classes as Jake felt a little different about Olivia, with Gary trying to get a girlfriend for Jake. He felt a little touched when she said Jake was sexy. He shrugs it off before shooting a few more arrows at the targets.

Everyone, but Jake was told to stop as Jake using his anger to hit all of his targets, even some with Kedron's face pictures on it. Jake feels like he's already let all the anger out with his focus and knows he has a lot to improve regarding his speed of hitting targets in the time limit. It was early days, and Jake had it tough, the toughest day he's had since ever. He was then told to stop as he places everything away, even when Olivia wraps her hands around Jake and he says this.

Jake Raab: "I'm sorry Olivia, but I got to go, I have a match this weekend. We'll chat more next week."

Olivia: "Alright, but I'll still be chasing after you. Oh, good luck against that horrible man."

Jake Raab: "Thanks."

Jake waits for Olivia to walk away as he turns to Gary as Gary shakes his head, but Jake backs up as he says this.

Jake Raab: "I have to go seriously. I need to catch my flight before seven, and I got four hours to get to San Francisco airport for my match against Kedron Williams."

Gary nods, understanding about Jake's wrestling schedule and reassures Olivia things will be different next week when he'll likely not wrestle and she smiles at Jake before he goes straight into his car to drive to San Francisco airport to catch his flight to Reno, Nevada. Once he gets himself checked into the hotel, he rests before going down to the gym and works out before his match against Kedron, a match Jake feels is vital to give something back to Ben Jordan.

The importance of friendship and tackling a problem to stay connected to a family friend. Jake's camera. (On camera)

"Here we are Kedron, a match between me and yourself. A match quite honestly, I've wanted to do for a few months now believe it or not. You can say whatever you want about my family being behind Ben's backside, but according to Markus, that's the type of man Ben's always been. He was the only person that ever greeted him with friendship in the wrestling business.

OK before I get into bad-mouthing you because you truly deserve it, of course, I give you a small amount of respect. You finally defeated Ben Jordan, and from what I gather from Markus, that's not an easy feat, although it was a tag match against him and his wife. You made Ben change into someone he doesn't like, made him go loose cannon on you and others around him.

While it's good for you, you son of a bitch, you don't do that to a nice person like Ben Jordan. Do you honestly think you'd get away with what you've done with Ben? Fuck no because you are a weak person. Yes, a weak person who has no sort of kindness in his body or cares about anyone, but yourself and making yourself happy.

Ben came up to Markus and said he'd be willing to make friends with him in a video, not the other way around you fucking idiot. Like Markus other known as Lord Raab in this business would attempt to do that. It's saying something when the monster of Lord Raab wants Ben Jordan, the nice guy of the wrestling business to beat the shit out of you and win the match. I'm doing it for the benefit of Ben Jordan who's given everything to Markus, who's even got his wife to help him overcome his fears without being judged.

If that makes Ben weak, what does that make you? A pathetic son of a bitch who knows playing mind games is the only reason you win matches. It does you no good Kedron, not by a long fucking shot. You want to hurt Ben? You want to attack and use weapons on him and his wife? I'll do all of those things to you in this match because after I found out a few months ago about Ben's loyalty to my family, it's time to return the favour to beat the living shit out of you. Being a massive target, I planted on your fucking head last week.

I'm coming in the match with arrows that are lit on fire and explode on you, making Ben Jordan proud that he has someone who defended for him and willing to fight for him. Someone who nobody thought saw coming and surprised everyone out of the blue. I never met Ben personally, although I've seen him around so don't even think to come out with the crap of being buddies cos I never spoke to him and honestly, I should have ages ago. I also respect the fact Ben wanted to get his hands on you at the Supershow. Good on him and I can't wait to enjoy him beating the shit out of you.

Because every beating Ben will give to you, you would deserve it for being a horrible fuck who protests to violence and hurting people like your Satan. Stop with the mind games and focus on trying to beat me me in the ring because as I said, you are a target and a threat, but for the wrong reasons and it's going to cost you when I make sure you'll won't be walking when I'm finished with you, leaving you all bloodied and crippled, barely being able to breathe once I'm done with you Kedron.

The Fiery Target is doing something right for a change, and then I wait until what happens with my future, even if people are talking about it, I refuse to until I know for sure I've earned something and it means beating you first, and you're going to hate me for it and Ben will respect and like me for it because it's about respect Ben has for my family. Let's hang out after I've crippled your future opponent, Ben cos you deserve that from a fellow Raab when I make that fucker tap the fuck out."

 Archery club day. Gilroy, California. Friday 7th June (Off camera)

It's been hard for Jake the past few weeks with a loss to Kale, it was hard for him since his return to dust off the loss and move on from it. It's also been a few missed acting lessons he should've been attending as he had to be in Anaheim, taking care of Fizz who's Konrad's wife due to the threat of Konrad and Fizz being killed by thugs with some living in the same place as them.

It was for a good reason though, as he hadn't seen Fizz since Samuel's dad's funeral. However, he had caught up all the acting lessons he'd miss, even coming straight to the archery club from the acting school in his home area to do archery. It's the one thing he needed to do since he signed up to the club as Jake hadn't been attending many events and it's clear it's essential for him because of who he wants to be.

Although he had a few friends in the club now which for Jake, was a sigh of relief as he was expected to get a ton of hate from people because of him being a professional wrestler. However Jake had Edgar and Justin with him, although they are watching him engage with other archery men and women who have an interest in the sport and some want to be professionals. Ian who was someone Jake's very close to asks a question while the others have a go at hitting targets

Ian: “So, you portray yourself as someone using archery arrows?”

Jake Raab: “In a way, yes, but it's also because of my love for Arrow TV show. I'm a professional wrestler who's busy shooting archery targets backstage for the wrestling fans, seeing me as a different person.”

Ian: “Oh, yes, of course, you do, but I wonder what made you want to do it in the first place?”

Jake Raab: “It just seems so amazing to have that power in your hands and to be able to fire without anybody telling you not to. I got to say, I feel free from the stress and being more than a wrestler who stands in front of the camera and talks. Archery takes me away from that and relaxes me.”

Gary: “Yeah, I could see your shakes and nerves a couple of weeks ago, while addressing your match with Kale.”

Darren (Coach) “Come on Jake, no time to talk when you need to focus it's not just your turn, but the moving targets as well. Let's go.”

It's true; it was Jake's turn to go and shoot the moving targets as he lines the arrows up, taking a deep breath, pretending the cameras were in front of him to learn not to be distracted and focus on the target itself. Darren explains it to Jake.

Darren: “I know you got to take your time with the shot, but we haven't got all day. Close your eyes and feel the cameras aren't watching you. Just feel the target in your mind, open them and shoot.”

Jake does so as he closes his eyes, taking a big, deep breath each time he feels the nerves and the shakes as he shakes his hands before placing the bow in his hand, picking arrows up and lines himself up and shoots at them. Not all were directly in the middle, but he sees some of the others who weren't having any arrows hitting any targets.

He waits for Ian and Gary to finish up their shots with the arrows, although they see the cameras still being there as a way mostly for Jake to practice shooting with them in the way as Justin and Edgar wanted him to, although they do see Jake being more himself around Gary and Ian. As Justin walks over to Jake, he says this.

Justin Mountain: “If only you could be talking more on camera with wrestlers stealing your spotlight like you are here.”

Jake Raab: “I seek redemption at the moment; I'm not going to challenge anyone, especially when all the title matches have been announced.”

Ian: “Yeah, I always wonder why you've not been getting one.”

Jake Raab: “It's because I had to give up my Roulette title spot up as my cousin's husband's dad passed away with a stroke. It's why I've not been around, but many times, I've had thoughts on wanting to be in the Roulette title contention match, but then I have a few wrestlers who'd dislike the idea of it.”

Gary: “I know you've made mistakes in the past, but you need to move on from them and focus the man you want to be. After all, you are changing without doing very much, apart from being on camera with the archery stuff now.”

Justin agreed with Gary, nodding his head as it's likely Jake doesn't know who he's fighting on Sunday. However, it was his turn again as he walks to the bow and arrow area, closing his eyes, taking deep breaths as this time, there were pictures of some rocker as Jake turns around to Justin and says this.

Jake Raab: “What's this about?”

Justin Mountain: “It's who you're facing on Sunday on Climax Control.”

Jake realises it was for a good reason as it was Caleb Storms in the pictures as he closes his eyes again before opening them and grabs the bow and the arrow and he completely misses it and says this.

Jake Raab: “Fuck.”

Darren: “It's OK; you aren't going to hit the right targets every time, try again until you get them.”

Jake does his usual routine before closing one eye, using the small eye hole on the bow to aim for the moving targets as they were moving and Jake lets go of the arrow and hits it. Then he has two more shots to do as everyone looks around Jake, wondering if he's able to make the shots he's doing and they did, even a headshot as everyone gives Jake a round of applause.

Gary: “Nice shots, Fiery Target.”

Ian: “I agree, and you were well away from the targets as well. However, who was that guy in the pictures?”

Jake Raab: “I'm facing against Caleb Storms on Sunday.”

Gary: “Any reason?”

Justin Mountain: “It's because Caleb is facing against Fenris in a Lions Den match at the next Supershow event in SCW. I guess Christian wanted to give Caleb a test of a preview of what he'll witness with Fenris at Into The Void 8 Supershow.”

Jake shrugged his shoulders, having no clue about the situations happening in SCW as he only been focused on his matches, but he knew he had to take the match seriously, more than Jake would if he was facing Caleb in a regular match situation. He had to make Caleb ready for Fenris, although Jake knows he has to win at the same time.

Jake Raab: “If I have to prepare Caleb Storms to face Fenris before his Lions Den match, that's perfectly fine, especially he's about to witness the worst beating of his SCW career, well apart from the Fenris and Samuel matches he's fought against. They can hit hard, but I aim to hit a lot harder than them.”

Gary: “I know you will.”

Edgar Davies: “Don't underestimate Caleb.”

Jake Raab: “Of course not, be completely stupid if I didn't view him as a target, especially he's full of fire as well as me.”

Jake decides to focus on the shooting for a bit, especially at this point, it was his turn again. He overextended his time shooting at the targets, vitalising Caleb Storms was in front of him with the arrows, although the end of the arrows, they were made of metal as he says this with a bit of smirk on his face.

Jake Raab: “Shoot lots of metal arrows up in Caleb's face incoming.”

As he shoots a lot of arrows at Caleb's face pictures as Darren had to tell Jake to stop as he places his arms out and takes the bow and arrow away from him as Jake shows anger as he breathes in and out.

Darren: “Are you alright?”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I just had to do what I did as I felt angry inside.”

Darren: “Well, at least it was constructive anger. However, you've done your time here in the club today and seeing you have to travel to Las Vegas, you take an early leave and prepare for the Caleb Storms match because that's more important than this hobby for you.”

Jake nods at Darren, agreeing he should take time off from the archery club as Gary and Ian follow behind him which Gary says this.

Gary: “Good luck against Caleb Storms.”

Ian: “What he said, but win the match at the same time.”

Jake Raab: “Winning along with being capable of turning a new leaf is what I'm going to do. I see you both around next week.”

Jake does just that as he was given an application to join an archery course before he takes his gear off, including the bow he brought with him to place in the car to head back to his apartment. Once Jake gets there, he grabs his bag and a few arrows he had before taking them to the airport to get the plane to Las Vegas. Saturday was all spent inside of a gym for three hours before Jake goes back to Markus's headquarters where Jake's apartment was recently built that's suited for him to stay. He goes to his video room and starts speaking on camera.

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

Preparing Caleb Storms for an MMA fight. Jake's camera (On Camera)

"Instead of throwing a tantrum over the loss, I admit I lost to the better man two weeks ago, and it was nice to earn respect from Kale Smith. It felt good actually and reminds me why I wrestle to gain respect as I did from Kale. Even if Kale said things I disagreed with, hopefully, it's changed now to prove I'm capable of turning a new leaf.

Now I have to face against a man who seems to be full of fire, a man who's fought one of my family members in the past of Samuel McPherson, the man known as Caleb Storms. Admittedly, I didn't take much notice of you, until I watch you defeat Kedron Williams. I won't talk that much about the past before the first Fenris match because they aren't crucial as of right now.

However, Fenris is a difficult person to take down, especially when he was champion and I wish he still was, but in my eyes, he's still the top wrestler in this company. I think it's a mistake your challenging him for a match again. Admittedly, Christian tricked you into being in a Lion's Den match, but I would've seen it coming. It's clear you've made Christian pissed off and trust me; it's not good.

I've learnt my lesson with that and will never repeat the mistakes I've done again, but still to this day, people talk about the match I had against Fenris, taking him to the limit, making him bleed which nobody else has done. Why? Because I'm an MMA fighter, just as much as Fenris is. Fenris is another guy who's earned my respect like Kale.

It's not going to be easy for you to overcome The Fiery Target because I'm aiming to prove the entire world wrong that I can come back and get another win since my return. I've dusted off the loss I had and focusing on helping you learn a few things with MMA fighting. Not only it's about throwing Fenris off your shoulder and using submissions to win, but you also have to learn to punch and kick as well. I believe you have the ability to focus on your striking because of your size.

But that won't happen today because while today, you have also earned the right to be a fiery target because of you being full of fire to target Fenris, while you are more in pressure to lose the match, I'm not allowing some metal head to defeat me. I will have no problems throwing you around and laying in the punches and kicks to you, while you struggle to fight back.

I will show you what I'm all about, while everyone will see your fears of facing against a former MMA fighter like myself and will prove once again, Jake is more mature than before, something you need to learn as a rookie to not moan and bitch too much. I did, but I've learned from all of that because it will get you nowhere.

It's always been about redemption for me to turn into a respectful fighter who will help, but at the same time, focusing on earning my title shots and getting those wins in the bag. Watch out for The Fiery Target Caleb Storms as I will be the top wrestler in the match by getting the pinfall or submission to prepare you for the worse and you better do something about me and Fenris because otherwise, you'll head for a downfall. Good luck Caleb cos you're going to need it."

 The news of Samuel McPherson's dad's death. Dusseldorf, Germany. Thursday, 11th April. (Off Camera)

After showing up in general for the SCW Climax Control show in the UK, it was clear Jake's getting fed up on the treatment he's getting, this time not from SCW management. They are seeing changes in Jake which he no longer complains about how the company runs things, if anything that's bothering him, it's people like Alex Jones and Griffin Hawkins treating Jake like crap and the first thing on his mind is while sitting in the living room with his parents, he says this.

Jake Raab: “I got to be honest, this whole Alex Jones and Griffin disrespect shit has made me almost give up on SCW. Truthfully, I do need to join another company that will have wrestlers respect me. All they ever talk about is the past, and I'm sick to death of it, especially Griffin kissing Alex's ass.”

Jake's dad: “What? No, you aren't giving up son. Just because they talk shit about you, doesn't mean it's true.”

Jake's mum: “Don't take it as an offence son, if they can't say it to your face, they are straight up cowards.”

Jake Raab: “I agree, even heard they talk bad about me over social media just because I got some facts wrong. Like if a wrestler cares that much about that, they don't belong in the wrestling business. Griffin is no soldier; he's a fucking joke of it. If he were, he wouldn't give a shit about comments about him and fight.”

Jake's dad: “Exactly, Konrad and Markus dad would've said that. I say when you wrestle next week, prove those cowardly sons of bitches wrong.”

Jake nods for a while before he feels a vibration in his pocket as he stands up and answers it as he doesn't put it to his ear yet, but says this to his parents.

Jake Raab: “I need to talk to Markus in my bedroom for a bit, alone.”

Jake's dad and mum nod at him before he goes upstairs to his bedroom and closes the door before he places the phone in his ear and says this.

Jake Raab: “What's up?”

Markus Raab: “It's Samuel.”

Jake Raab: “Is he alright?”

Markus Raab: “His dad..................he's dead. He died with a stroke on Tuesday afternoon.”

Markus's voice was like he's hurt so much, more so that he's already in South Dakota, being with Samuel's family and Jake hears sobbing on the phone, and he says this.

Jake Raab: “Oh my god, I'm so sorry to hear that.”

Markus Raab: “I always wanted you to meet him since we became close family members again. I want you to try and get here as soon as possible as I'd like you to be at the funeral. Fizz and Konrad will be here as well. Also, it'll give you and Samuel a chance to communicate yourselves since you haven't met before.”

Jake Raab: “No problem at all. Be good to get away from wrestling for a bit which I need with two pricks still disrespecting me for the shit I did months ago and getting facts wrong.”

Markus Raab: “Yeah, I know.  Fuck Alex Jones after the comments he said about me and Konrad behind our backs. He's fucking shit in the ring. Anyway, not important, what is, however, is Samuel and being there for him. I'll see you whenever you can make it to Yankton, South Dakota.”

Jake Raab: “I'll be there tomorrow night as it's too late to get a flight now. Thanks for letting me know. Got to let my parents know, too if you don't mind?”

Markus Raab: “Of course not. I'll see you on Saturday.”

Jake puts the phone down as he feels a cheek running down on his face. Although he's never met Samuel in his life, he's about to, even in severe circumstances as Jake got clothes Jake wore the last few weeks from the washroom and took them off the hanger before he goes back to his room to place them in his suitcase.

Jake packs everything away, although he leaves some clothes behind as he packed quite a lot of clothes from his journey from America. After he got his clothes, even small essentials away in the bag an hour later after the phone call, he comes downstairs, and Jake notices his parents were eating dinner as he joins them to eat. Jake's very quiet as his dad being concerned says this.

Jake's dad: “Are you alright?”

Jake Raab: “No. I got to go back to America tomorrow.”

Jake's mum: “Something happened with your acting classes?”

Jake Raab: “No, it's just my cousin's husband's dad's died of a stroke Tuesday afternoon. I have to go to South Dakota to see him. Markus has always wanted me to see Samuel for quite a while now.”

Jake's dad: “We understand. We aren't going to force you to stay here. I think it'll get your mind off wrestling for a while. Maybe times like this, you can even forget about the whole thing with Griffin, Alex and yourself. Focus more on you than taking comments from those idiots.”

Jake's mum: “I'm so sorry, Jake or at least for Markus and his husband. He sent us a picture of him, Samuel and his son Callum as of late. Very nice picture as well. We wondered why you were zooming from the washroom to the bedroom rapidly. We have work to take care off so we'll give you some money for flowers for Samuel's dad.”

Jake Raab: “Thank you; I'm sure he'll appreciate that.”

Jake continues with his day, eating with his family before he goes upstairs on the laptop he brings every time he goes away to book the flights to Yankton, South Dakota which luckily, there was a seat available to the nearest airport to Yankton. He even reserves a hotel room in South Dakota as well. After he's done that, he puts his bedclothes on and stretches before getting up from his bed, turning the lights off and heads straight to sleep.

Next day, he gets up to put on his regular clothes before he has his breakfast, which was two pieces of toast and coco pops cereal. After breakfast, he hugs and kisses his parents to say goodbye to them before he goes upstairs to get his suitcase and his luggage before going to the airport via a train to get to South Dakota which he does on Friday night.

Getting to know Samuel McPherson. Yankton, South Dakota. Friday, 19th April. (Off Camera)

While Markus went out hiking with Konrad and Fizz spending time, interacting with Samuel's brother who she had never met until she arrived at South Dakota on Sunday at home. Markus after introducing Samuel and Jake to each other the last few days decided the only way Samuel would talk was to talk to someone he barely knew, and Jake was one of those people he had never spoken to.

They sit in a Starbucks coffee place, drinking their coffee which is something Samuel needed due to lack of energy he had to do anything, not even discussing things through with people via a notepad at all. Jake knew about Samuel's autism and how Samuel was able to hear him and writes things down when speaking, and Jake says this.

Jake Raab: “I'm so sorry about your family. I know you don't know me very well, apart from being Markus's husband, but you know you can talk to me. I'm not going to hurt you.”

Samuel McPherson: “Naarrp.”

Jake Raab: “Glad you understood that. Markus wanted me to be here; actually, he's always wanted me to see you. I never had the chance, until now. I know you're heartbroken, it's made me think of the future if something happened to my parents, but it's harder for you to cope with something like that, am I right?”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Jake Raab: “So Samuel, tell me how you and Markus first got together?”

Samuel hears every word Jake says, trying to move the topic from talking about the death of his dad to his husband discussions. He writes down in response to Jake's question, even the details of them getting married as well. Samuel passes the notes down, and Jake reads them, being the only way Samuel communicates which is strange for Jake, but knows in no time when getting to know Samuel more, he'll get used to it.

Jake Raab: “I always wondered why Markus changed, you know when Konrad told me about him. Of course, I didn't want to know Markus because of him scamming Konrad money and using his name and identity in wrestling, but at the same time, Konrad's right, I had to get back in contact with Markus for our family sake, especially the part he told me about their dad passing away.”

Samuel nods as he takes a sip of his coffee before Jake speaks again.

Jake Raab: “When I met Markus for the first time, I've honestly never seen him happier, and that's because of you. You changed his life for the better, especially him being raped by women years ago. It changed him for the worse. You came along and made Markus better.”

Samuel writes something else down about their relationship as it was an essential key to everything on top of him adding something else as he passes the note down after writing it and Jake looks it over, and he smiles.

Jake Raab: “Woah, Callum is Markus's biological son?”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Jake Raab: “I never thought I'd see him become a parent, let alone being married. It's nice to know that you're the only guy he feels he can trust. Can't believe how far you both come through, just being friends before committing to a relationship. Most relationships are rapid, but at the same time, I think he's better off with you because he knows deep down, he needed you in his life.”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Jake Raab: “Although the tides have turned with you needing him, but did Markus ever tell you I'm a wrestler?”

Samuel nods as he takes his time, drawing a picture of what he feels Jake looks like in the ring. Jake's shocked at how accurate Samuel was at drawing Jake of him as a wrestler in the ring, and he says this.

Jake Raab: “That's spot on perfect. Although I will have a new design on my shorts, looking a lot like this.”

Jake draws what it looks like fire arrows as above the pic; he has a bow to go with it as he speaks again.

Jake Raab: “You're the first to know this, apart from my acting coach and my trainer, but I also thought of a nickname for myself, too, represents everything about me.”

Jake writes the nickname down on the piece of paper of where Samuel drew a picture of Jake and Samuel nods, liking it as Jake smiles, knowing it's what he's been working on a lot outside of the ring since he started being a wrestler and says this.

Jake Raab: “I got fed up of being my self, so I thought, let's bring out the arrow series aspect of me out, and it turns out a lot better than when I started. I've had losses, but I won't lie to you Samuel, my focus has been more about developing myself as The Fiery Target than wrestling to win, being a guy who'd only be located backstage or the parking lot, firing arrows to archery board, heck I'm in archery clubs now too.”

Samuel has his thumbs up, knowing it's the most truthful thing someone could say, not making excuses of him being ill or the opponent cheated when they didn't. It was a legit reason, and Samuel pats Jake on his shoulder.

Jake Raab: “I want to be different from your husband and Konrad, although my personalities have a mix of them combined in me, they all had wrestling experience, I don't and still learning to this day. Alex Jones will never admit he's not perfect, acts like he's a god to wrestling and acts he's the best. Truthfully, nobody is the best wrestler. It's stupidity wrestlers say that cos if they were the best wrestler, they wouldn't have losses.”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Jake Raab: “That's what being the best is, and I'm none of those things, but I'm willing to be the top wrestler by the end of this year because I'm gonna bust my ass. I'm not gonna ask or demand a title shot, I'm gonna earn it.”

Samuel nods at Jake as they were getting along quite well, seeing why Markus got along with Samuel because he was good at listening. Samuel writes down the hell he's gone through with Alex Richards as Jake says this.

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I know the name very well, especially after he commented, bragging about a win against you, two days after your dad died was disrespectful, much like Noble Savage, shitting on your kid. I don't know why you put up being there. I never thought they'd stoop that fucking low.”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Jake Raab: “It's been good to know you and meet you finally, Samuel. I'm glad I had some time, alone with you, even if it's been hard with your dad's death, but I know for sure, you'll pull through. You have to let yourself grieve, and it might be hard at first, but it'll get easier over time. Also, your dad is still with you, but up there. I know he loved you and your brother equally.”

Samuel wrote something down on paper, and then he shows Jake as Samuel hugged Jake, crying on his shoulder before he places his notepad and pen in his pocket. Samuel and Jake finish their coffee before leaving Starbucks and still talk to one another, mostly on Jake's love life which was non-existent as he didn't have a girlfriend and he says this.

Jake Raab: “I'm looking for a girlfriend, mostly in wrestling because I know I'm bound to have something in common with her, the problem is nearly everyone is taken, and I have no clue who's single. That won't be important as I'll be more focused on my career when I return, doing things the right way.”

Jake smiles at Samuel before they walk together back to Samuel's parent's house where they see Fizz still talking with Sebastian, while Konrad and Markus are still on a hike. However, they came back an hour later, but most of the time after today, there were no more discussions about wrestling or jobs or in Fizz's case, the kids as it was all focused on Samuel and his family. They all attended the funeral a week after and had the wake before heading back to the hotel, while Samuel and Markus head back to Samuel's house.

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

The Fiery Target has returned for business, forgetting the past and looking towards the future. Jake's camera. (On Camera)

“I'm leaving everything I've said and done in the past behind me because honestly, no point trying to drag something that happened a month or months ago. I've forgotten all about it, especially when it was easy to do so when one of my family relatives lost their dad from a stroke, hence why I've not been around.

Mainly I can't overlook Blade Alexander this week in my return to Climax Control. I've seen the guy wrestle or at least on DVD recorded London Brawling Supershow I watched. The guy was unlucky to not only miss out on the chance to be an SCW title contender, but also the Roulette title contender as well. I have nothing, but respect for the guy to be honest, more than I thought I would.

Although he was in SCW years ago, it's like nobody cares to be painfully honest because you are a target for me and a target that's full of heat and fire, ready to let go with the bow to hit my targets like a bullseye. Not saying my shots will be spot on perfect each time, but close enough each time I come to hit you with my bare hands. If you want to go hardcore Blade, feel free to do so as I have no fear in doing so. I am pissed off, but with full of fire and fuel under my own body to destroy you. I have to because I want to be taken seriously. I want to be the top wrestler of this company because I don't believe in the term best. I will do anything possible to climb back on the ladder, earning and working my way for title shots without demanding them.

I wait and see what happens, but I'm not shy of hard work Blade, far from it as I will beat the living shit out of you and go on to win this match against you because I need the win more than you do. I even want to win more because a return and leaving the past behind me to being a fiery target, firing arrows to archery boards backstage or the parking lot because after the consistent demands of SCW management, I will promise that you will see a lot of me.

I haven't appeared backstage on camera for quite some time, and now I don't have the feeling of hating myself anymore because I'm a new man. This new man you all will see more than just a wrestler in the ring, I'm going to entertain you all by firing my arrows and punches in and out of the ring, showing how fired up I am to wrestle.

I haven't had a day off in the gym since I returned from a funeral because I'm consistently being in shape for wrestling and also got rid of a lot of ring rust too from wrestling training in Markus's headquarters. You will see a reborn Jake Raab who will either win by pinfall or submission. You'll prepare for the heat of The Fiery Target, firing his arrows away at my opponents to capture the win. Good luck, Blade Alexander cos, you're gonna need it.”

 Last day at acting school for a while. Huntington Beach, California. Saturday 17th March (Off camera)

The shoulder was in a bit more pain now after the match he had against Fenris, Alex and Travis for the SCW title. The problem was he didn't want to rest or settle down like other wrestlers do when they're injured. He wasn't the type of wrestler to do so which was the Lord Raab thing to do. Jake's going to miss this acting school for a while. After everyone went home, Jake holds up to Edgar who was leaving but stops when Jake stands in front of him.

Edgar Davies: “Well, despite you still being too stubborn, congratulations on injuring your shoulder even more.”

Jake Raab: “I am stubborn, especially when I had the chance to become champion. I'm not like the other wrestlers, sitting by, while I recover. That's a pussy move and besides, how many wrestlers do you know continue to wrestle while they are injured?”

Edgar Davies: “None because they aren't stupid or scared as you said. It comes down to them being more sensible than you.”

Jake shakes his head as it's obvious Edgar has to stay a while, and Jake hadn't gotten down to discussing why he stopped Edgar from leaving. Jake and Edgar headed back to the acting school area and sat on the floor as Jake speaks.

Jake Raab: “If I'd done that, I wouldn't have had a title opportunity. If you didn't know, you might not like this, but I'm in the Blast From The Past tournament which is what I need to talk to you about. I won't be able to be here until the middle of May.”

Edgar Davies: “You're an idiot Jake. Why do you think I'd like the idea of you being in a tournament when you fucked your shoulder up more?”

Jake Raab: “Because I'm sick and tired of fucking Alex Jones and his family member Austin, claiming I've been handed everything in my career. I want to shut them up more than anything. I want to advance in the tournament with a partner I know nothing about so far, Keira Johnson.”

Edgar drops his head, completely understanding Jake's point. Although he still wanted Jake to rest his shoulder, he nods and says this.

Edgar Davies: “I completely understand. I also understand about you not being able to attend your classes until mid-May. It's a shame because you're feeling the Arrow character more and more, even if you're unable to use the bow and arrow so far.”

Jake Raab: “Really?”

Edgar Davies: “Yeah, but the thing you have to work on when you're away is portraying that character on camera. I know you don't like to put yourself in front of a camera backstage, you're all about fighting, but you still need to get yourself known to be this arrow character.”

Jake Raab: “I'm not a fan no, but I haven't been able to with my shoulder. I don't want to stand and talk for a few minutes, that's what dorks do. I want to do something, so I don't feel the pressure of being an attention seeker.”

Edgar sighs as Jake still didn't get why it's important to be in front of the camera, but he wasn't lying either. He hadn't been confident, standing backstage and talk without doing much. It wasn't his style and nor should it be as Edgar decides to move on, even if he understands Jake's sort of refusal to stand himself out to other wrestlers.

Edgar Davies: “Yeah, I know you're not an attention seeker, well not anymore at least. Where exactly are you going if you're away for that long?”

Jake Raab: “I'm going to be in the UK, although I'd be living with my parents for a while in Germany due to it only being one and a half to two and a half hours to get to the UK from Germany.”

Edgar Davies: “Considering it's for business, that's understandable. I'm not going to bitch and complain if it's a business related holiday, although people are entitled to have holidays, not do it every week or every month sort of thing, in your case, it's for a good reason. Thank you for letting me know. Go and enjoy your time in the UK and Germany.”

Jake Raab: “Most importantly, proving Alex and Austin wrong I can earn title shots the right way by working for it. I will show them, idiots, what I'm all about. Keira Johnson unless she's single cos again, I haven't done any studying on my partner yet will likely go our own business because truthfully, I wanted to take part in the tournament also to see if I can find someone to go out with.”

Edgar Davies: “But mostly to prove Austin and Alex wrong to capture the shot for the SCW title again.”

Jake Raab: “Exactly. I got to go home and start getting some clothes together before packing them on Sunday and head off to the UK to capture the thought of The Fiery Target earning a title shot and winning the title is right above me. I don't know which male wrestler I'm facing, although I better pray I'll face Alex Jones at some point.”

Edgar nods as he and Jake get up from the floor, mainly discussing Jake's absence from the acting school until mid-May as what Edgar forgets is sometimes, actors and actresses get hired to play a role in movies, having to go to different countries.

This was no different as Jake was a wrestler and is expected to wrestle around the world at times as he walks out of the acting school for the last time and heads back to his apartment, putting his clothes together to place in a suitcase. He knows there's a huge chance he could see Konrad during his journey, considering he's also wrestling in the UK on Friday's and sorting out an adoption case.

After that, he heads to bed, before getting up in the morning to spend all day, packing his suitcase and getting essentials ready for the UK, although was mostly flying to Germany and will base himself training in Germany, but still prepared for the UK tour, regardless. Jake finishes packing and double checking everything at six in the evening. He heads to sleep at that time and then gets up to catch his flight to Germany.

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

Visiting family for the first time since the move. Düsseldorf, Germany. Wednesday 20th March. (Off Camera)

It's been strange for Jake, basing his training and his home for a month and a bit in Germany, despite the distance of UK places being closer to Germany than the US. He didn't have time to chat with his mum and dad last night because he came to his home very late at night and told him to head straight to bed. Nothing's changed in Jake's house, including his bedroom.

After he had his breakfast and got changed, he came downstairs and finally, hugging his parents as he had missed them a lot, although they knew he was coming over and staying over for a bit. They didn't know why as Jake's mum speaks, while Jake's dad who he hadn't seen since he left their house to move from Germany sits on the coach.

Jake's mum: “It's very nice of you to come over and stay with us for a bit, but is there a reason why you need to stay here that long?”

Jake Raab: “It's because all of my matches up until May are based in the UK for a month and a half. It starts this Sunday in the Republic of Ireland and ends the beginning of May in London. I'm also in the tournament as well, although I'm disappointed on who I was picked with.

Jake's dad: “Why?”

Jake Raab: “It's nothing against Keira Johnson as a wrestler or anything, I think she has great skills in the ring, but it's a fact she's married. I was hoping to get a partner that's not married. Then again, I wouldn't have a chance anyway, considering she's gay.”

It's clear from Jake's facial expression he wanted to be in the tournament to get himself a girlfriend, which is concerning for Jake's parents as they shook their heads.

Jake's mum: “Please don't tell me you're in the tournament because of getting girls?”

Jake Raab: “Don't be silly. My main reason is to prove two wrestlers wrong. I'm sick and tired of them, moaning about me not getting earned opportunities for title matches. Heck, I'm sick of people not viewing me as a threat for titles and what's the way to do it? Being in the Blast From The Past tournament.”

Jake's dad: “Oh thank goodness cos you had me concerned there son.”

Jake Raab: “I would've found other ways to find a girlfriend but doesn't seem to be as Keira's too madly in love with Roxi, and I don't want to get in the way of that.”

It's a friendly family discussion that's going on between Jake, his dad and his mother who always stick by their son's goals and dreams. Jake's dad was a big fan of wrestling, and he goes to say this.

Jake's dad: “Fact is, people can't take away how close you came to winning that match. I saw a remarked improvement in wrestling lately. Have no shame in losing to someone like Fenris, especially you were closer than the other two wrestlers were to win that belt.”

Jake Raab: “A lot of people have said I was the closest to win the SCW title in the fatal four-way match. So you guys got anything planned to do while I'm here for quite some time?”

Jake's mum: “Obviously, we can't take you out every single day, but you will be taken out no matter what. I was thinking like museums, swimming, bowling, playing pool, going to a zoo or aquarium together. Anything you want to do; we'll do it.”

Jake Raab: “I also want to see Konrad at some point too. He's in a bad place right now, and he needs me more than I need him.”

Jake wasn't stupid to know about his cousin Konrad being in a bad place with the alter-ego side Jake saw from Konrad at the Retribution PPV and then losing the Cross-Hemisphere title match recently as well didn't help things. Jake's dad nods, acknowledging about the worry of their nephew losing himself.

Jake's dad: “Yeah, I know all about that. I think it'll be a good idea if you'll talk to him this week to see if you can help him with his struggles and fears he may have with himself.”

Jake Raab: “He does need someone to talk to. It's not like him to do the stuff he did at Retribution PPV. At the same time, it's also essential I get time with you both as well.

Jake's mum: “Oh top of wrestling in the tournament as well.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, that, of course, is important too.”

They take a quick pause as Jake's mum went to the kitchen to get Jake and his dad a drink, especially with Jake coughing a lot and Jake's mum gave Jake a glass of diet coke as he takes a sip of it and was already feeling better. She brought the big bottle on the table for the whole family to drink.

Jake Raab: “What's been happening in the family?”

Jake's dad: “Not very much really after losing my job as a waiter in a local restaurant, due to it closing down.”

Jake's mum: “To be honest, we're facing tough times me and your dad. He's looking around for other jobs as a waiter in other places.”

Jake Raab: “Do you guys need money?”

Jake's dad: “I feel ashamed of asking you, but we need money, although I got a job interview for being a waiter in another Chinese restaurant tomorrow.”

It seemed that his family were in money trouble after his dad lost his job due to the restaurant business closing down. Jake's dad was an excellent chef and sometimes helps with the cooking as well as being a waiter. Jake got money out of his pocket and places a large amount of Euros on the table. Jake's mum puts her arm out and pulls the money towards her. She counts money and gives some to her husband too.

Jake's mum: “Thank you very much.”

Jake Raab: “Not a problem. Always want to be there for you guys. Sorry about the job closing down, dad. Good luck with the interview tomorrow.”

Jake's dad nods, agreeing with Jake's comment. He speaks again.

Jake's dad: “Thank you. About this tournament, know who you're facing against yet?”

Jake Raab: “Yes I do, I'm facing against Senor Vinnie. I would mention Amy as well, but that's for Keira to deal with as men can't wrestle women in Sin City Wrestling due to some strict rule they have with it.”

Both of his parents nod, knowing it was the right step to take if he wasn't allowed to wrestle against women wrestlers. Jake's mum says this to Jake, even if she's not a fan of any combat sports, more of a tennis fan.

Jake's mum: “It's a good idea to focus mainly on Senor Vinnie as he's the person according to you the only one you fight.”

Jake Raab: “Sadly yes, but in a way, it's good as well because, to be honest, I've only got myself to blame for the loss of the tag match against Vinnie due to my lack of focus. For some reason, he thinks I wasn't deserving of a title shot.”

Jake's dad: “Is he the guy you talked about earlier on proving two guys wrong?”

Jake Raab: “Na, this guy is different. The two guys I mentioned earlier are Alex and Austin, pissing me off because they see I get handed title shots. Not like Alex had a proper challenge for the title contention match anyway. Austin is a whiny bitch who's just like Alex. I have to prove to Senor as well as he's not wrestled me since that tag match.”

Jake's dad: “You've improved since that time though.”

Jake Raab: “Of course. Anyway, I better head off to the gym today as I need to get a workout done before spending the rest of the afternoon with you both.”

They nod, acknowledging how serious their son was at his wrestling with wanting to go to the gym already when he'd only arrived in Germany eight hours ago. He went up to his bedroom to get his gym stuff together, placing them in a large bag he had spare in Germany before coming downstairs to leave the house for the gym.

Jake spends two hours in the gym before he comes back home and spends time with his parents for the next few days until Sunday afternoon. He does his video about the match in his bedroom in Germany on Saturday as he gets his camera set up and presses record on the camera to speak about Senor Vinnie and the Blast From The Past Tournament.

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

Things have changed with me, Vinnie. Jake's camera (On camera)

“Before I get to the title of the video, I want to talk about the tournament and my tag partner in this, known as Keira Johnson. The tournament is quite prestigious with different winners, winning every year, well the exception of Evie Baang who won it two years in a row. Every other time, however, it's always been, different male winners. Don't get me wrong; I don't know much about Keira Johnson, yet it's my duty to study and talk bits about her like being a bombshells tag champion and a bombshells roulette champion in her time in SCW.

However I get why she's in this tournament, she wants to have one more shot of being the bombshells champion. After all, her wife has done it so there's no reason at all whatsoever that Keira can't do the same. I know she's been close a few times of winning the title and the tournament itself, but she'll always come back, fighting, just like me as of late.

It's almost the same reason as me as to why I'm in this prestigious tournament on wanting the chance to be an SCW World Champion, but I haven't ruled out an SCW Roulette title match either, but that's to be discussed another time. The other reason is Alex and Austin, running their mouths all the time about me being undeserving to be a title contender when Alex beat Joshua Acquin to become one. He keeps beating the damn dead horse all the time and maybe when I'll prove you fuckers wrong, perhaps you'd see I'll place myself in this tournament to earn myself a title match which it will be earned this time.

Enough about those hypocritical men, at least in some ways, Vinnie doesn't bitch and complain to the top. Oh wait, he hasn't had to because he has a briefcase he won a few months ago. I ask you this question, why do you need to be in the tournament if you can cash in the contract for a title shot anytime? You haven't got a reason for it. Of course, I'm not stupid to say he's a non-threat because he is.

You know, you may not bitch when you're the top of the ladder, but you certainly didn't like me being in that title match. Not my fault when I was chosen to be in the match by Fenris and gave him a tough match. You bitched and complained about how you thought the match was to be boring when it turned out to be the best match SCW's had in a while.

You're just a jealous pig, to be honest, and I don't like it. I'm sick of people like Austin, Alex and yourself, telling me I don't deserve shit and shouldn't have a title match when I had a busted shoulder and still being able to outperform wrestling as I did. Now did you read the title to say I've changed?

The Jake you saw is a whiny brat, but he's changed for the better Vinnie, and if you keep thinking about the past, it's only going to cost you the match win. I will do everything in my power to keep your shoulders down for the three count. Then you'd see what having a busted shoulder feels like. I'm going to beat you because unlike you, I need to win because to prove my damn self and shutting Austin and Alex up at the same time. I will rip you apart, and there's nothing you can do about it

This fiery target states on the tin, being a target with your enemies is a big mistake, but I won't be repeating those mistakes again as I will be moving on to the next round and face against any fucker I want. I see you out there Vinnie because we will be prepared for it. I'm beating Vinnie for the right reason. I will see you in a mask vs hair match. Good luck Vinnie cos you will need it after proving Alex and Austin wrong on me being handed title shots when I can prove it in the ring tomorrow night."

 Needing to change things up with the surname. Huntington Beach, California. Wednesday 27th February.

It's one of the days where the pressure of having the surname got to Jake, even if some of his apartment has holes in with punching with his right hand to the walls. His acting coach told Jake to head home after a bad day of trying not to feel pressure but does as he screams this out.

Jake Raab: “I'm sick of being treated like fucking shit. I have to get rid of my last name cos the pressure is killing me.”

Jake completely lost it as he then goes on the floor on his knees, having a breakdown because of the last name of Konrad and Markus being the successful ones. Suddenly while he was on the living room floor in tears dripping down from his cheek, the doorbell rang, and Jake stood up on both of his feet and came towards the door. When Jake opens the door, it was one of the trainers in SCW and Jake allows the SCW trainer in before closing the door behind him.

The trainer noticed holes in the walls and sees Jake had some tears dripping down to the floor and the trainer from SCW sits on Jake's sofa as Jake manages to scream before sitting down next to the trainer and he says this.

SCW trainer: “So I'm aware of the fact you want to live up to Konrad and Markus legacy, right?”

Jake Raab: “Not anymore. I am sick and tired proving to these people I'm as good as them, but I'm not. I want some fucking help.”

SCW trainer: “I also think you could benefit me with adjusting your wrestling skills as well. What your doing is fine, but if you want to stand out, be yourself.”

Jake Raab: “That's what I want to do is stand out from Konrad and Markus.”

The trainer from SCW hasn't mentioned his name yet but seemed to know Jake very well from what he has seen in the wrestling ring. He saw Jake needed help, but the trainer hasn't forgotten one little thing Jake did in a segment recently, and he says this.

SCW Trainer: “You like Arrow?”

Jake Raab: “Yes. I want to hold the bow and arrow, but I haven't been able to use the character more because of my shoulder.”

SCW Trainer: “How's your shoulder doing?”

Jake Raab: “Said it's on the way of being fully recovered now. I want to do more arrow stuff on SCW shows. If I didn't have a busted shoulder, I would've appeared on TV more.”

SCW Trainer: “I think that's what you should do. Be the German guy who acts like Oliver Queen, but using a bow and arrow to your targets with the archery instead of people. You're acting coach has done well to help you develop the character you want to be.”

Jake nods as he was gasping for a drink and he asks the trainer.

Jake Raab: “You want a drink?”

SCW Trainer: “I have a coke please.”

Jake Raab: “What's your name, sorry?”

SCW Trainer: “Sorry for being rude. I'm Justin Mountain.

Jake now knows the trainer's name and was glad to give it to him as Justin's very tall and a big guy. Jake goes to the kitchen and gets the bottle of diet coke out of the fridge. Jake pours himself and Justin Mountain coke before putting the lid on and placing diet coke back in the refrigerator. Jake brings the glasses of diet coke to the coffee table.

Justin Mountain: “Thank you.

Jake nods as he takes a seat, wondering what Justin wanted out of this experience. Jake was curious about how he knew about Jake's acting school classes, and he asks a question.

Jake Raab: “So how do you know I do acting classes?”

Justin Mountain: “You're acting coach told me.”

Jake Raab: “He has helped me so much getting into my character. So when are we starting to go to the gym together?”

Justin Mountain: “Considering of your shoulder injury and the title match as well, we'll start two weeks to get you to improve on your wrestling and also finding your last name to be used in wrestling. Nobody can take your surname away, but wrestling is different. You'll have to find what your wrestling last name is.”

Jake seems to understand Justin on a lot of things, and it was to help him get stuff sorted with his pressure problem he faces a lot.  Justin who was going to start promoting the best he could for Jake along with getting used to him on being Jake's trainer, as well as Justin, took a sip of his coke

Jake Raab: “I'm facing against Fenris, Travis and Alex for the title and do you think my shoulder should hang on in the match?”

Justin Mountain: “That I can't say because I don't know, although you should be glad it's not a cage match of some form. After all, you were put in the match because of you being a former Honor champion.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah and I don't really like being handed title matches at all whatsoever. However, they must've given to me because I was the honour champion like you stated.”

Justin Mountain: “Well, I have to go, got some friends to meet up in LA in two hours. I'll see you sometime next week to get things started to change some things around with your wrestling moves and the last name change.”

Justin gets up and shakes Jake's hand before they walk towards Jake's front door, and Jake opens it to let him out as he closes the door before Justin leaves, while Jake goes to watch Venom movie he recently brought as after the film finishes, he goes upstairs and sets up his own camera to promote the match.

My quest to win the SCW title. Jake's camera (On camera)

“It's about time for the showdown of the four titans going at it with Griffin Hawkins being the special guest referee for the match. I've been looking forward to this match for many weeks now, and I'm excited to face Travis Levitt who's the only wrestler in this match I know very little about compared to the other two big dogs.

Fact is that I know Alex Jones has a lot to say about me because of me winning the title from Austin and I don't understand why he didn't whine about the loss he had against Fenris, but yet cried about losing to me? A loss is a loss man, deal with it. I also know you'll stick up for the things I said about Todd Williams. I wasn't wrong when he lacked dedication to SCW when the only time he's showed up to wrestle was against me. He gave up and didn't have any will to compete to want to win an SCW title.

Sorry if you moan and bitch about something like that because you didn't see he didn't show up to face Dimitri for an SCW title opportunity. At least I'm here every single time I've been booked, even with a busted shoulder still from a brutal and blooded battle from Fenris. Fact is you can call me every name under the sun, but I will do anything to overcome you because you and Austin are still stuck like on the stuff I've done in the past. Have I bitched and moaned about anything since that time? No, I haven't so get within the times, Alex.

Fenris, I don't know what to say, to be honest. I did trash on you poorly, but that was because I didn't believe the hype of you being champion. Fact is I respect you enough to know that I understood the hype of you after that match and you earned my respect. I also aware you've received mine also. I did fuck you up good as you did with me. However, you have three hungry individuals who are ready for you, and it's going to take a lot of effort and hard work for you to retain the title. No hate this time around, regardless if you do with me.

Travis is unknown to me mainly because we have never crossed paths until now. You have worked your way the quickest, and that's cos you are an excellent wrestler who's primed to do big things in the SCW title division. That you are talented, but you are still an unknown factor that could clinch the title if me, Alex and Fenris overlook you. You are getting attention the right way, the way I should've done to be completely honest with you.

But if there's one thing you have against us in all of this is you have another match on the supershow. You'd already be worn out from the mixed tag title match you'd have with others, and that could play a huge factor in the match from you being too tired to put out your best against me, Alex and Fenris.

Because I deserve this opportunity to win the SCW title just as much as the three of you do. Just as much as Fenris deserves his title reign and I will bust my ass, giving each one of you everything I have to defeat you all because I am going to be a champion for this company. It will be down to me learning a lot of things since I've been here and I'm going to continue to learn. More on this next week.”

 An unexpected visitor. Huntington Beach, California. Wednesday 6th February.

It's one of those days where Jake has been resting from his shoulder injury, being told by his acting coach to stay at home to rest because his gimmick he wants to portray involved a lot of arm movements which his shoulder is still banged up from the fight he had against Fenris so he spent more time resting at home like he was told to by his doctor who kept checking it every single week than doing active things.

He's almost really bored, being at home and having to watch TV most of the time, even forcing to order food shopping online because it was so bad to even go out to carry food up the stairs half of the time. He spent a lot of time, watching Arrow series which was something he could watch non stop when he had nothing to do, even wishing for one of his family members to come and see him.

Obviously, Konrad's too busy to come over with how hectic his wrestling career is and sorting out Sebastian to be his son legally took up too much of his time, but he wonders about the other cousin of his who wasn't as busy as Konrad. All of a sudden, he heard a doorbell and he picks up the phone and on the mini camera sees it was Lord Raab coming over as he immediately allowed him in without talking through it and leaves the door open and goes back to watching Arrow.

Lord Raab entered the apartment and closes the door behind him as he comes to take a seat, seeing what he's watching as he asks this question.

Lord Raab: “What's this you're watching?”

Jake Raab: “Oh, just some TV show called Arrow. It's so good that I've been spending all of my time, watching it non stop.”

Lord Raab: “Yeah, I can see why you like the show.”

Raab pats Jake's left shoulder, little did he know it's the bad one and Jake crunches in pain and Raab notices the reason why he came over and he immediately, even if he doesn't know the meaning of the word says this.

Lord Raab: “Sorry man. How's it holding up?”

Jake Raab: “It's getting there, although I'm bored as hell being at home because of me being told to rest my shoulder.”

Lord Raab: “Your hand has also been messed up too, hasn't it?”

Jake Raab: “It was, but that's near enough recovered now. It's just my shoulder that's bothering me. I'm bored as hell being at home all day, resting it.”

Lord Raab: “Fuck that. I never allowed doctors telling me to rest. I continued wrestling with broken arms, legs, ankles and even wrists at times. Why? Because I love wrestling and the only time I was told to stop wrestling was when I had a lump on my face, telling me it was cancer. Other times, nope, I never stopped for anything.”

It was well known in the Raab camp that Lord Raab had a lump on his face removed because it was skin cancer, but it was news for Jake who felt so bad for Lord Raab and he speaks.

Jake Raab: “Wow, I had no idea about that. Sorry.”

Lord Raab: “I fought it and now I'm wrestling and back better than ever I was before. Fuck what the doctors say, dude. You can still do things.”

Jake Raab: “That's you, OK? Maybe you can hack and deal with pain, but I can't. I've been told to rest it, even ice it a few times to recover. I wish I can do anything like playing soccer or something, but I can't move my shoulder, I can't leave the house because each time I open the door with a key, it hurts and I'm left-handed.”

Lord Raab: “Mind you, I don't think Konrad can deal with pain either. He's so sorry he's not able to be there for you. He feels bad he wasn't able to come up to hospital cos of shit going on with wrestling and the whole adopted kid thing.”

Jake Raab: “Oh you mean Sebastian?”

Lord Raab: “Yeah, that's it. To be fair, me and Samuel are in the process of waiting for an adopted boy to come through ourselves. Still waiting for the opportunity to strike, but it's nothing compared to what Konrad's going through in Germany.”

Jake Raab: “Certainly not.”

Jake wanted to get up, but he looks at Lord Raab and shakes his head as he says this.

Lord Raab: “No, you stay there, I'll get the drinks from your fridge.”

This wasn't like Lord Raab to help anyone, but Jake was family so he had to help any family member at all costs as he manages to find the drinks which were cans of Fanta while Jake's watching Arrow since Raab wouldn't stop him from doing so as he closes it and then goes to the freezer to get the ice pack out and closes it. He carries the cans of drinks and the ice pack to the living room and he places the ice pack on Jake's left shoulder.

Jake Raab: “Thanks, man.”

Lord Raab: “No worries.”

As Jake's got a busted shoulder, Raab kindly opened a can of Fanta for Jake and was able to use his right arm to drink his Fanta, while Raab does the same for himself and drinks the Fanta before he watches bits of the Arrow series, but he remembers something from the Supershow.

Lord Raab: “Oh, is that Arrow guy who you tried to portray at the Supershow event?”

Jake Raab: “That's correct. I can't even show up on camera right now and do that stuff cos of my shoulder. I lost to Austin because of it on top of him being a better man that night.”

Lord Raab: “Fuck that douchebag. That guy is a crybaby bitch and a coward according to you. He has none of my respect. Fuck Austin for pretending to deny he has never demanded title shots in his life or made any mistakes in his career. He's not human.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I almost think he acts too fucking perfect. He's stabbed Konrad in the back with his inexcusable comments. He showed his true colours when he wasn't able to handle losing to me. I can handle losses, one of the things we don't moan about unless there's a valid reason for it.”

Raab nodded, he knew he did go too far with bitching and moaning about losing the tag titles to those girls, but they were in the wrong to bring a weapon in the match and wrestlers in another company praised them for that. It wasn't the thing that bothered Markus the most as he says this.

Lord Raab: “It's like that Noble Savage cunt. I had good valid reasons why I stood up for my son when she mocked and took the piss at him, trashing him because she acts tough. She could've done her research and picked on you or Konrad, but no, picking on a seven-year-old boy was the best she could do.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I heard that shit and I'm glad I'm not working for that shithole company. What a horrible piece of shit she is to do something like that, to go that low.”

Lord Raab: “She is. I even went to her lowest level, hoping she'd die and commit suicide. She said she wouldn't stand up for her parents or her kid if someone went personal with them. Shows how she'd allow anyone to walk all over her family and her kid if she doesn't stand up for them. A shitty excuse of a human being.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, you were in the right there. Anybody who defended for her is fucking scum too. Even I'd never go that low to mock Fenris's family or Austin's girlfriend and his kid because that's disgusting and being a coward to pick on defenceless people or in this case, a defenceless child. I don't care what they said and done, I wouldn't stoop that fucking low.”

It was something Jake heard as he does follow everything going on with his cousin's wrestling careers as much as they do with him as Jake notices bags on the floor as he asks him a question while watching Arrow.

Jake Raab: “You're staying for the night?”

Lord Raab: “Yes, I felt like spending the night here. After all, I've done it a few times before with Konrad's place and he's done with me, along with you as well. Also, I think you could do with someone to talk to and hang around with before I leave for Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday. I got an apartment there too, even a place for you if you ever wrestle there.”

Jake Raab: “I never knew that. That's pretty sweet.”

Lord Raab: “Yeah. About wrestling, however, you fought fucking hard against both Fenris and Austin, especially being the first person to bust Fenris open which doesn't seem like an easy task to do and I think if anything, he respects you.”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, I managed to catch up with Climax Control on the internet the other day and mentioning how he respects me more than he does with Vinnie who talked shit about my match with Fenris, according to Fenris himself.”

Raab nods as he also heard that himself, even if his career in Sin City Wrestling was over and done with and likely be the only wrestler in Sin City Wrestling who's won all belts, but never be in the hall of fame. That didn't really concern him and he says this to Jake.

Lord Raab: “No shame of the effort you put out in that title match against Fenris or with Austin for that matter, despite your shoulder being injured. Heard you're facing some dude named Shirasu in your first match return since the loss against Austin.”

Jake Raab: “I don't even know who he is apart from the win he got over Kadar Hasheem in his debut. That's all I can say about him.”

Lord Raab: “Well he is mentored by Casey Williams.”

Jake Raab: “Ha, Casey Williams is a joke. I'm glad for one he left and I didn't say goodbye to him cos he didn't deserve it. He was holding SCW down.”

Lord Raab: “That I agree with. This Shirasu guy according to him has had everything literally handed to him. Won't be surprised if he expects title shots to be handed to him. At least they've not placed him in a title match in his second match.”

Jake Raab: “Yes, thank goodness. Even with my busted shoulder, I can beat him any day of the week. He hasn't really been that impressive, beating a rookie wrestler in his first match. Like I didn't when I started in my match. However, I know why I've been placed to face him, they want to test to see how my shoulder is and whether I can continue my quest for gold or not.”

Markus is in agreement with Jake as he takes a sip of his Fanta drink and speaks again.

Lord Raab: “I agree with that, they have given you someone easy and he will be easy because he doesn't do or say very much. I don't even know if that guy is even experienced enough to be a wrestler in the sport. I had to work my ass off from working in the Germany hardcore wrestling scene to get where I am. Konrad had to bust his ass to earn his spot in wrestling. You had to learn wrestling yourself before coming professional that took you years to do.”

Jake Raab: “But Shirasu was handed a roster spot without doing anything in the wrestling business. Maybe I need more time to research this entitled dickhead. I'm using this match as if it'll prepare me for anything that comes next in my quest of getting to the top again, but fairly this time than the demanding Jake bitch people once saw.”

Lord Raab: “When people still compare you to that guy. Pathetic guys like Austin and Alex can't get fucking over it with your mistakes. You've learned from it and moved on. It's sad people bring it up, but you have the chance to prove them wrong on Sunday you've changed for the better.”

Jake Raab: “I'm getting sick of proving to people I don't bitch or complain anymore. It's driving me nuts. Like why can't people see I've changed and learnt from my mistakes?”

Lord Raab: “Because it's all they have to talk about, you're past than what you've done to change. They are too ignorant to do that.”

Jake chuckled as he still has the ice pack placed on his shoulder and Jake picks up the can of Fanta and drinks all of it before speaking again.

Jake Raab: “I will do anything to beat Shirasu because he's a guy who got handed everything in his life and I don't respect people like that. I'll beat him for the three count fair and square without any complaints coming from that idiot.”

Lord Raab: “Indeed. Let's watch the rest of this series. I start to see why you're into it.”

It certainly was Lord Raab's sort of series type thing he'd watch as there was a lot of action and lots of mystery clues to solve and kill the target Queen has on his list. They randomly talk about different things now and again but enjoying to watch the TV show as they get pizza takeaway before the whole first season finishes and went to bed to sleep for the night.

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

Time to beat down on a rookie wrestler shoot Jake's camera.

“Losses never affect me and I would never whine and cry like a big baby about it. I lost to Austin, shame on me, get me a tissue so I'd cry. Oh please, as if I'd do that, considering I'm still new to this sport. I refuse to cry about a god damn loss I'll learn from. Moving on however is someone who has the least experience out of everyone in the company right now, Shirasu as I'll just call the guy because fuck saying his first name.

Shirasu has only had one win in his entire wrestling career and that's against some dude named  Kadar Hasheem. That's really the only thing we have on him, but the moves he does well are high flying and technical which is different from other opponents I've faced here. He won a match, what else there is to say about that, to be honest.

The problem I have with you is you got handed your spot on this roster. How can anyone come to this business and have their first ever professional match against Kadar? Just how does that happen? Did you randomly win a competition or something in the school you were trained at? Did Casey hand his SCW spot to you?

God only knows, but we know you have talent, I'm not stupid to say that, but you'd be very much mistaken if being handed everything in your life gets you somewhere in this business. I know from one of my cousins who was forced to be in the army at first because his dad sent him there to toughen up and it wasn't Lord Raab either. It wasn't for fun, it was to toughen the man up.

Of course, everyone gets sick of these stories about families that are completely utterly irrelevant for this match and I wouldn't go and picking on people who are too defenceless to fight me. You can fight Shirasu, but sadly for you my friend, I hate to even say this, but SCW management clearly placed me in this match because I won't have to use my shoulder as much and testing whether I was fit for another title match or not.

You haven't done anything of a sort as of yet and I doubt you'll win again which you have no chance whatsoever to win the match because I lose to guys that were way more of an honour than winning against a fellow rookie to the match. You haven't got any experience in wrestling to know you aren't ready to beat me. You aren't ready to beat the MMA and technical wrestler in me and you're certainly not ready to be a champion either.

I don't care about sizes or the fact you've been bullied at school, heck I was as well, but you don't see me talk about it cos being bigger or smaller to an opponent doesn't mean anything in this business. Tomorrow night, I will get that three count and moving towards to whatever SCW want to place me in. Good luck Shirasu cos you're gonna need everything, but only I will get the three count to win the match."

 Last day of acting school before title defence. Huntington Beach, California. Friday 11th January (Off camera)

It's been a very tough week for Jake since the acting school returned from it's Christmas break, even if Jake made some more friends and them understanding about why it's important for wrestlers to find something in their personalities and it seemed like although he's still struggling to find himself of what makes him stand out to everyone in SCW. However, his interests are now discovered of him liking Big Bang Theory and The King Of Queens comedy series he likes. He also became a fan of Arrow TV series too.

A lot of Christmas presents he got were mainly funko pops stuff and even some Arrow DVD's from the TV series as he loved watching Oliver Queen using bow and arrow to destroy targets instead of guns which is what attracted him the most. While he was still trying to think of how he'd portray himself on camera, he says this.

Jake Raab: “Do you think people would take a liking to me if I dressed up like Oliver Queen?”

Edgar Davies: “I think so yes, at least it'll be an attempt to stand yourself out from the other SCW stars. Look at Caleb Storms. He like metal music, right?”

Jake Raab: “Yes.”

Edgar Davies: “He always wears a metal band shirt because he wants to be known more than just being a wrestler. He uses music to entertain himself and apart of who he is as a wrestler. He does well because everyone knows who he is. The only thing they know about you is how you won the Honor title and how you were an MMA fighter.”

Jake Raab: “No, I'm known for being another Raab name.”

Edgar Davies: “Yes and that's alright because they know how different you are to them, in fact, you are trying to fit your persona to the pair of them. Got to admit, it's not working out very well. If you go along with the idea of Oliver Queen and dressing up like him, you'll be someone standing out.”

Jake Raab: “Wouldn't it be a complete rip off though?”

Edgar sees Jake's concerns about him being worried about ripping off Arrow actor because Jake likes the TV show as of late and he wonders how to answer the question and he speaks.

Edgar Davies: “Nothing in this day and age is original anymore. How many films and songs have been copied? How many comics have been ripped off in films and TV series? A ton of them and half of them have been a success out of it.”

Jake Raab: “That's true.”

Edgar Davies: “I think you're uncomfortable of knowing how to be an entertaining guy because you're being pressured to do so. I do see where people like Fenris come from though, you are pretty much not someone who really sparks a fire.”

Jake Raab: “It pisses me off that I had to resort to bitching and complaining just to get myself somewhere. Obviously, the wrestling part has lost its name and it's about entertaining people now.”

Edgar shakes his head at Jake as he still doesn't really get it and he says this.

Edgar Davies: “It's not about entertaining people. After all, you didn't win a title because you were entertaining, did you?”

Jake Raab: “It might as well been, considering my methods of getting there was disgusting.”

Edgar Davies: “You have the chance to change that now and be the guy you want to be. I know you have the charisma and persona in you, you have to be confident and comfortable of getting out of your comfort zone and do things for yourself. That's what people are saying, try to do something new.”

Jake nods as he was glad to get this private time to chat as everyone does at some point every single week, except Sundays because Edgar was attending SCW events with Jake now to get him comfortable of standing in front of a crowd to talk. He sees Jake being a shy kid of doing things for himself.

Edgar Davies: “There's nothing wrong with doing things that you like from TV and try to copy it because the end of the day, at least you've tried. Caleb Storms might be doing something that it's been done before in wrestling, but is a success like other wrestlers are.”

Jake Raab: “Good point. He goes to metal gigs at times.”

Edgar Davies: “While you can't go to the filming of the arrow, Big Bang or The Kings Of Queens TV series, you can, however, try to use the things you like in your character. It will help you, regardless if people think you're ripping them off. You can be the German version of them.”

Jake Raab: “Hm, putting my nationality into things doesn't sound like a bad idea, although I won't speak in German cos nobody will understand what I'll say.”

Davies nods, it wasn't a good idea for Jake to speak in German cos of nobody being German in the company. He notices that when he stepped into an SCW arena for the first time and notice all the wrestlers doing their own entertainment stuff.

Edgar Davies: “What I mean is be Oliver Queen, but instead of the hoodie coat being green, have the hoodie coat being in German flag colours. Be a guy who does archery backstage or even in front of cameras for your videos and use it as something you can be entertaining with.”

Jake Raab: “That's a really good idea. I knew I continued my sessions with you for a reason. I did not think of that. I will totally consider it on Sunday. Maybe I practice backstage first on camera instead of standing around, doing interviews or talking to the crowd like a complete dork.”

Edgar Davies: “You noticed when I enter in this place, people stand outside, waiting for your autograph and pictures being done?”

Jake Raab: “Yes, it's why I'm late to your sessions sometimes and I feel bad about that.”

Edgar nods as while it was never pleasant for Jake to be late for his acting sessions, he also understands it's the lifestyle of being a professional wrestler. Of course, the fans get autographs and pictures done with some of his other friends since some of them were in films or TV series with some of the top actors and actresses, most of them were for Jake.

Edgar Davies: “I can understand, being a champion and all. I expected this publicity to blow up when you won the title. Anyway, I let you get on with your day, but for now, I give you this amount of money.”

Jake Raab: “For what?”

Edgar Davies: “To get the clothes to dress up like Oliver Queen and get some bows and arrows as well, even if they are just toy versions, still would work.”

Jake Raab: “Yes, I keep that in mind, although I won't do it in my videos just yet as I need to be comfortable first, maybe try it out on the show on Sunday and see how people react to me.”

Edgar Davies: “I think very positively. See you on Sunday.”

Jake nods as he leaves the acting school as he was beginning to understand, even in that private chat with Edgar how important it was to be very different to everyone else and coming up with the idea of being Oliver Queen, the German version of it as he goes home, with something that he'll likely take the idea upon mainly because it was certainly something he can offer to SCW audience. He goes off to sleep before getting up in the morning to get Arrow dress up clothes as apart of Jake's potential new persona he'll go along with in his wrestling career.

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

Meeting with Konrad and Markus Raab. Huntington Beach, California. Saturday 12th December. (Off camera.)

After going out shopping for almost the entire day nearby for Arrow dress up clothes to be a wrestler he should be, he arrives at his house, seeing both of his cousins there, although Markus has been there for a long while, having the patience in the world, was a different story for Konrad as he only just this second arrived as he lets his cousins in the apartment before closing the door behind them.

They go up the stairs and Jake unlocks his front door to allow Konrad and Markus in the door before closing the front door of his apartment and it's been a while the last time Konrad had walked into the apartment, although the tiredness and the marks from the ladder match Konrad had twenty-four hours ago was right in Jake's face and he asks while Konrad sits down.

Jake Raab: “You alright Konrad?”

Konrad Raab: “I'm good. I had a ladder match in England last night for the Dragonweight title.”

Markus Raab: “Really? I didn't know that.”

Konrad Raab: “Well, I did challenge Luna Baby for the Dragonweight title a few weeks ago and well, I lost after Luna blew glitter mist in my eyes. I was so close to winning that title, but at least I'll get another opportunity for it at the next Rebellion Pro Supershow.”

Jake nodded, he wonders how he's going to react over a title loss. If there's one thing Jake hadn't complained about, it's losing matches. That's the only thing Konrad could respect with Jake is he was able to handle losses better than he did in his career before July. Markus also has an upcoming title match himself on Monday as he mentions this.

Markus Raab: “It's about time I got a title match.”

Jake Raab: “Oh yeah, you kicked Zombie's ass, right?”

Markus Raab: “Giving him a beating he deserves. After talking shit to me, I haven't heard a word from him since. He's a stupid cunt.”

Jake Raab: “Indeed.”

Konrad Raab: “Do you understand now after all of the problems I'm going through in Supreme why I got pissed with you?”

Jake Raab: “Oh, not this again. Can we drop the subject?”

Konrad Raab: “No we can't because you don't understand that Sin City staff aren't trying to screw you unlike Kayta is. She screwed me over more than once and I've got to defend Supreme Championship Wrestling at the PPV after hearing from Jerry this morning my challenge to Autumn has been accepted.”

Markus nods as he saw the End Of The Year rumble and he was glad he didn't take part, despite his near times he did consider taking part, but it's just as well he didn't when he's got a Baltimore title match coming up on Monday and Jake says this.

Jake Raab: “I'm already sick of Fenris talking about my past. It's just him lacking material at this point.”

Markus Raab: “I don't look up other companies often, but you are also aware you're facing Magdalena Lockheart and Dave Rydell on Monday?”

Konrad Raab: “Yes, Jerry also told me that match this morning too, but I'm more focused on defeating Autumn Valentine in the ring.”

Jake Raab: “I feel the same of being focused to defeat Fenris right now, especially he speaks a lot of crap, especially about how you tucked your tail and ran away.”

Markus Raab: “Which is not true.”

Jake shook his head in agreement on it not being the complete truth of the situation and it makes him want to defeat Fenris for saying a stupid statement in his eyes and he gets things out of the bag with arrow dress up clothes, bow, arrow and a lot of archery paper targets as it got both of his cousin's attention.

Konrad Raab: “What's this stuff?”

Jake Raab: “Do you know a TV series known as Arrow?”

Konrad Raab: “I've heard of it.”

Jake Raab: “I love the series so Edgar told me to go and buy the dress up clothes because he feels it would help me stand out from the rest of the SCW guys and be as everyone wants me to be entertaining. I thought it's perfect as it's something I love watching.”

Markus Raab: “Well if that's what you want to do, that's a great idea.”

Konrad Raab: “Certainly one nobody has thought of to give you.”

Jake Raab: “Not at all because you see, nobody thinks to use bow and arrow to use as targets and that's what I'm going to do. I need to do this, although I'm not entirely sure how the reaction will be.”

Konrad Raab: “You'll be fine. Nobody knew how to react to me when I changed my persona up to The Iceman. Took a lot of hard work to know it worked to my advantage, more so now when I'm mentally better prepared for matches.”

Markus took a drink of his coke as he mentions this after taking a sip of it.

Markus Raab: “I agree, you've grown into a man now. If Konrad can change, you can as well Jake. Fact is, Fenris is just full of himself just because he's on a winning streak. His streak isn't going to last very long.”

Jake Raab: “Not at all. After all, it's not like winning a title shot after winning the Blast From The Past tournament is history-making stuff anymore. What I did was more worth writing down in the record books than Fenris has and that's the only thing I can back up on, on top of me being an MMA star more than just being in Elite XL.”

Markus Raab: “Not when I've been there, done that before his ass came in.”

Konrad Raab: “You're right on winning the Honor title is history breaking stuff, but I do feel winning the tournament is breaking records, although I see you're point on that.”

Jake has some sort of disagreement with Konrad, although mentioned the point of the thing was Jake was the only guy in the history of SCW to win a title from another company. He already thought to put his clothes on, although Markus notices the new hobby Jake has which is near enough covered the entire house as he says this.

Markus Raab: “What's with these stupid toys you have there?”

Jake Raab: “They aren't toys, they are known as funko pops. Very collectable items.”

Konrad Raab: “Yeah, Sebastian has got a few of them, well-wrestling ones and Roderick has got Ice Hockey ones.”

Jake Raab: “I do have a Fenris lookalike funko pop, although I made it myself, much like I made myself and you both one too.”

He goes upstairs and gets them out of his bedroom to show that he's made a black and red stripy mask funko pop of Lord Raab and one blue mask of Konrad as he gives them to both of his cousins to take home. Markus asks a request.

Markus Raab: “Do you mind if you do me one for my husband, Samuel McPherson?”

Jake Raab: “Sure man, no problem at all, although I really would like to meet Samuel someday.”

Markus Raab: “You will today actually since you're coming to Las Vegas with me anyway, gladly allow you to stay at my headquarters with Samuel as I won't be around tomorrow or Monday, got a match to prepare for. Before that, however, I want to see how the future Jake Raab looks like in the wrestling business soon with those clothes in the bag.”

Even Konrad did as well as Jake went upstairs to change into his Arrow gear as he got a bow and arrow, although they were a toy, but he felt comfortable as he looked into his wardrobe mirror and looks good, even lining the arrow up to the mirror as he comes downstairs to the living room and shows both Raab's the future of Jake in the wrestling business.

Konrad Raab: “You look really good. Was that coat modified?”

Jake Raab: “Yeah, rather than having the green to go with it, I made sure I got it specially made in German colours. I feel great, even had a small eyes mask with it too.”

Markus Raab: “It's totally different for sure, however, I still think you need to keep your focus on Fenris and kicking his stupid arrogant ass to hell because he will lose to you, that's a damn fact because me and Konrad believe you can do it. Me and Konrad believe you can knock this fucker out to pieces.”

Konrad Raab: “Truthfully, he's got a big mouth who has no facts about me whatsoever.”

Jake Raab: “Fenris talks shit to his buddies on twitter behind my back because he gets mad and pissed off. He's a fucking pussy for doing that. I know what I have to do to defeat him. I believe in myself more than he does with himself right now, knowing the pressure is on him to lose.”

Markus Raab: “Damn right.”

Konrad Raab: “I have to go, got a flight to catch to Chicago to check on how Mattia is doing with money stuff on top of that triple threat match I got to take part in.”

Markus Raab: “Let's go to Las Vegas, I'll gladly allow you to stay at the guest house

Jake allows Konrad to leave to head to the airport to fly to Chicago, while Markus waits around for Jake with him packing his things to head to the airport also, but going to Las Vegas for the big title match against Fenris for the Honor/SCW titles on hand for the winner to walk away with both titles after Inception 3 Supershow was over.

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

You've not reached the record books Fenris. Jake's camera. (On camera)

“What do I mean by this title? It's simple really because you see, you can brag about being an undefeated champion and winning some mixed tag tournament to earn a title shot for the SCW title and win it. Truth is, it's been done before by many wrestlers so that's not history breaking stuff anymore. What I have done was a much bigger achievement by defeating the Honor champion Austin James Mercer, being the first and likely the only SCW star to have done that.

That is much bigger than what you've done. The fact is you keep bringing up the same shit of me complaining and whining, but that part of me is over and you're fucking stupid if you keep mentioning something I've even gotten over. I've moved on, unlike yourself who keeps dwelling in the past.

Are you really this fucking stupid when you said Konrad tucking his tail and ran away from Sin City Wrestling. Do you know why he didn't sign a contract to SCW? It's because he had other commitments in Supreme Championship Wrestling because say the Supreme Championship Wrestling PPV was this week because they have PPV's on Sunday's and the Sin City Wrestling Supershow was as well, how the fuck would he get to wrestle two matches in different locations in one day? Explain how that would work? Of course, it wouldn't because it's unrealistic you dumb fuck.

You bitched and moaned every single time we've spoken to each other on what I've done last year and I've admitted my faults of my behaviour I'm changing. You can't seem to look at the fact of me being honor champion has made me change my outlook for the business, but you refuse to see that. I never asked for a title shot either, it just happened, but I'm ready for a fight, especially this should've been a Lions Den match because you've not faced anybody who's been in an MMA octagon as apart of the MMA business.

Well, you did in the tag match, but did you hear me bitching about that loss? No, I said I would be willing to wait in the back of the line to earn my shot for the opportunity. If you think I should've rejected a title shot, you're more stupid than I thought as I refuse to be a god damn coward and even if I did it that way, you and everyone else would've bitched and complained about being a coward and that's something The Raab's are never known for.

We stand our ground always and it gives me great pleasure to produce my MMA skills in the ring and beat your ass, even if you're talking shit about me on twitter to your buddies who are too cowardly to direct those comments to me. It's easy to work to talk that amount of shit about me when I don't have an account to respond back like pussies you all are for not being direct to me with your words.

Also, I do sign autographs and take pictures with the fans, you idiot. Every single day I step into the acting school, I get approached to get autographs signed and pose for pictures. I don't need cameras as proof for that because my acting teacher is there to witness it. Besides, doesn't everyone around here do interviews? Fact is, you may call me boring, but at least I'm working on being entertaining by going to an acting school to improve on that, unlike yourself being boring as hell to stand and do interviews every week as everyone else does around here. I never seen you do anything entertaining myself.

But what do I know, considering you've made the mistake of exposing your private life? You can say oh Markus and Samuel exposed it too, but was anything they have done was shown on camera to the world? No, you stupid cunt, nothing they did together was on camera so how do you know they did the stuff you claim?

I had a great MMA trainer known as Kazimir Sokolov who trained me to be the best fighter in the world and I left because I've done everything in the sport and I had to learn wrestling from scratch. Wasn't by Lord Raab who I didn't even talk to or Konrad himself, I learned how to wrestle by some guy who also has experienced the transition as I did know as Brock Jones. It was only when I started in Code Red Wrestling that Konrad discovered me wrestling for the first time and he didn't know until after I fought Sally Talford in a match too.

I know you're a tough wrestler and I know you've been on a winning streak, but the fact is all winning streaks come to an end at some point and that time is sooner than you think with true competition you have right in front of you, a guy who has changed for the better and will still change for the rest of his wrestling career, being the only guy who has legit pro MMA experience which is another reason why apart from these titles will make the match history breaking as well.

I was known more than just fighting for one MMA company, I fought in all MMA companies around the world to get better with the sport and I did. I can't wait to kick your thick head to your skull and be the first guy to defeat you in a match on my own without any help to win the SCW title from you. You may have defeated me in a tag match, but it will be a different story when you'll look at the lights, knowing you got pinned or tapped out in the middle of the ring and me walking away with the belts in my hands, bitching and complaining about it most likely just like Austin James Mercer has done, especially when you've never lost a match in your career. Good luck Fenris because you're gonna need it.”
