An Unexpected title match.

["The Animal" Samuel McPherson]

A surprise family meet up. New Orleans, Louisiana. Saturday 23rd February. (Offline)

The last two weeks, since Samuel won against Farcry, he did need a break from wrestling considering he hasn't had one in a long time, heck some said Samuel suffered from burnout because of the losses, even though he showed he didn't give a damn mainly due to how he is. The win against Farcry didn't mean anything at all, other than showing him he didn't deserve a shot for the TV title at all whatsoever.

It meant however for Henry and Samuel discussing the upcoming TV title match as they are sitting in Samuel's hotel room on the bed. Samuel had been lost on the reason why he had it, considering his record apart from the win wasn't really up to scratch. He knew Teo was a tough challenge and has been studying to not repeat his mistakes from the last match he had.

Samuel has some respect for Teo due to his skills in the ring, but John McCarty, he had no respect for him whatsoever. He shakes his head each time he thought about that time where he had to involve himself because it was his son being trashed and mocked under the sun with John agreeing with it.

Suddenly, while they were going through their plans for the match against Teo and John, there's a buzzing sound coming from Samuel's mobile. He gets it out of his pocket and notices it was a text from one of his family members, stating he's outside of the station and for him to meet him there. He shows the text to Henry who reads it and says this.

Henry Losak: “Whoever this family member is, you better go and meet them. Wonder why they didn't state who they are?”

Samuel shrugs his shoulders, not having a clue to the question of who it was, regarding his family member, all it states that it's a family member waiting at the train station. It's not too far from where they were staying and Henry says this.

Henry Losak: “Anyhow, you deserve to have a bit of time with this family member who wants to talk to you. I'll see you around.”

Samuel gets his money, cards, key for his hotel room, notepad, pen and phone ready and places all of them in his pocket as he gets up from the bed, stretches for a bit and then walks towards the front door as he opens it and passes the door to Henry and both left the room. While Henry goes back to his room, Samuel took the lift down to the ground floor and then leaves the hotel to go and meet with a family member.

Since the text, Samuel still has no clue who he's meeting, although he knew it wasn't his husband who's back in Las Vegas to deal with their son and he doubts it'll be his brother or family cos they are too busy. He walks to the station and he sees a face he hadn't seen in a long time, a fellow wrestler in the business known as Konrad Raab who's Samuel's brother in law.

Konrad Raab: “Bet you never thought you'd see me here, huh?”

Samuel McPherson: “Naarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “I figured that. Let's go for a drink somewhere in Starbucks.”

Samuel shook his head as although, he wanted to go for a drink, it wasn't Starbucks he wanted as he wrote down the other coffee shop which was costa coffee and Konrad says this.

Konrad Raab: “That's a good idea. I have no problem with that location.”

Konrad was considered one of the most respected and kindest individuals in the wrestling business, especially when it concerns the Raab legacy of the business as rarely anybody had a problem with Konrad, not even Samuel himself who got along with Konrad right away. They found costa and lined up to grab themselves a drink.

Konrad got water which was down to him sticking on a strict diet at the moment, while Samuel got himself decaf coffee. Konrad had his hands full of his upcoming title matches Konrad has in Rebellion Pro and Supreme Championship Wrestling in a few weeks time. They finally found a seat indoors as they take a seat and Konrad speaks.

Konrad Raab: “So it occurs to me you've suffered from burnout, right?”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “I remember when I have, heck I still suffer from having a burnout in UGWC. I've been there for almost a year and not once I've had any solo's title shots. I don't understand why I can't get a title shot there, while I can easily in Rebellion Pro and Supreme Championship Wrestling.”

Samuel gets his notepad out and opens it up and writes what Konrad said as he understood what he says and writes down his opinion on it and then he shows Konrad and says this.

Konrad Raab: “I could do that, but if I do, I'd get called a coward and that's something I refuse to do right now cos otherwise if Casterillo finds out I did, I'd be a hypocrite.”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “It wouldn't be a good example of me teaching him, although it concerns me I have to go back being that Black Ice guy again. Honestly, I don't know if I'm feeling comfortable to do all of that again. Heck, my mental trainer only found out after he asked me about it today.”

Samuel nods before writing again to calm Konrad down since he was nervous of bringing that dark side of him out again, especially that he's changed his mentality to another level and Konrad gets shocked on how understanding Samuel is. He sighs and Konrad responds to him.

Konrad Raab: “I'm guessing you've been watching Supreme Championship Wrestling shows, huh?”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “I guess I need to get some training done before I face Casterillo to use that side I've been trying to hide, but that guy keeps running away from me and it's to a point where I'm forced to use it.”

Samuel nods, but he had nothing to say this time, Konrad, on the other hand, did as he opens his bottle of water and drinks it before he places the lid back on and talks.

Konrad Raab: “I'm hearing you've also got a TV title shot waiting for you, right?”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “I also know you're facing a guy I heard you don't like on John McCarty, right?

Samuel took a sip of his coffee and says this as a response.

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “Honestly, after what Markus told me, I can't blame you on hating him because of him agreeing with what Noble did. I hate to swear, but she was a piece of shit for things she said about your son. I don't care how much someone said or did wrong, I wouldn't stoop that low to insult and mock someone's child who can't defend themselves.”

Samuel McPherson: “Naarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “He did the right thing, so did you. I mainly came down because I don't want you to resort to saying half of the stuff Lord Raab said to Noble, I'm concerned you will with John. Sure, you can bad mouth him, but don't lower yourself to say things like cancer or suicide sort of things cos you'll regret it in the future.”

Samuel hearing every single word on what Konrad said to show some value of decency as a human being in himself to not resort to using that sort of language and he writes down on his views about it and Konrad speaks.

Konrad Raab: “I'm glad to hear you won't because you're bigger than that. I already told Markus off for the things he said, although I can't blame him for lashing out as he did, the things he said were completely out of line.”

Samuel writes down another question to Konrad, while nodding at him, even finding out that Konrad did tell Markus off for the comments he made to Noble Savage that was out of line and tasteless. Konrad saw the question which was a valid and relevant one to ask as he says this.

Konrad Raab: “I know it's difficult, but in order to prepare for title matches, I personally find being on lockdown from any sort of contact, even from Markus, Henry and Callum help you get in the mind frame to think of nothing, but winning the title. It's how I became the SCW TV champion last time around. Also, having complete focus is important too.”

Samuel writes two letters down and then he takes quite a large sip from his coffee and waits for Konrad to respond which he does after also taking a large sip from his bottle of water.

Konrad Raab: “Focus is what you're lacking. The burnout can be the cause of it, but you've had a break and you should go out there and do the best you can to win against Teo and John, being within the rules of the match of course. Have you watched a video of your last match against Teo?”

Samuel McPherson: “Yaarrp.”

Konrad Raab: “That's good because you look at what you did and what Teo did and find those weak spots in him cos every single wrestler you know, even Noble herself have their weaknesses in their wrestling game, even I know my weaknesses. At the same time, you use them to your advantage and push yourself through to win the match. I'm glad however you've not bitched or complained about losses once.”

Samuel smiles, seeing how kind Konrad was to spend his day with Samuel, even if Konrad generally wanted to meet with Samuel as he hadn't seen him in a while and Konrad took his water, realizing the time as he says this.

Konrad Raab: “I better get back to Chicago as my mental trainer doesn't like me being away from him for so long at the moment. I let you get in the mind frame of the TV title match coming up. We'll catch up soon.”

Konrad and Samuel stood up and they give each other a hug and a pat on the shoulder before Konrad leaves for the airport back to Chicago, while Samuel sits back down to drink his coffee and once he finishes his coffee, Samuel heads back to the hotel to meet with Henry. He knocks on the door and Henry answers it and Samuel walks in before sitting down on Henry's bed.

Henry Losak: “Who was it you saw?”

Samuel wrote the name down of the person that's his family member and Henry was in shock, even Samuel writing down some advice and guidance Konrad gave Samuel about title matches.

Henry Losak: “He really took time to give you guidance, despite being busy as shit? Damn, didn't expect that. I have to contact Markus about this. Now go to your room and have a rest.”

Samuel nods as he gets up and leaves Henry's hotel room and goes into his own room to watch some TV, having a rest from talking. After watching TV for a couple of hours, he turns it off and gets the laptop out of his bag to turn it on and set up his blog to write about his opponents for the TV title match.

Unexpected TV title match blogger.com notes (Online)

It feels like I've not been in a wrestling ring for a while since I defeated Farcry single-handedly without doing too much damage who clearly didn't deserve a title shot in his first match in WCF and where's has he been as of late? Down the unemployment line because I beat him so bad, even with Lord Raab's appearance which I didn't expect, to be honest as he was wrestling in Carnage the same night so god knows how he got there in time.

Anyway, so I'm facing against Teo Blaze and John McCarty for the TV title. I have to say, it's unexpected, but at the same time, glad I got a title match cos I felt I made a ton of mistakes last time out against Teo, feeling like I've could've done a lot more, but I didn't. Fact is, he may and will say bad things about me, but I don't have a single bad thing to say because at least the guy doesn't go personal and at least he doesn't praise and agree with a wrestler who trashes and mocks seven-year-old boys.

Unlike my other opponent who's only good for kissing Noble's ass, when she was fucking stupid who couldn't tell the differences between what's online to use and offline to not use in her shitty fucking videos. You're fucking scum for supporting bullshit like that. You are someone who seems to think insults are too high school for you.

Funny coming from someone who also insults people at high school level and sticks up for Noble's high school insults like she's a fucking angel you hypocritical piece of shit. It was also funny you lost your tag titles in your first tag title defence and most people forgot you and Matt were even champions. Fucking hell man and I have no respect for pieces of shit who support Noble for picking on a child. You're no hero, you're a fucking disgrace of one. Sure, brag about you winning the tag titles, but nobody cared about you or Matt being champions.

You deserve a beat down, regardless of what you think of me, but you can't deny you aren't the smartest bulb in the match. In fact, you're just as stupid as Noble and Slayer are. You'll be nothing more than a footnote in this match because everyone wants to see me beating Teo for the TV title because I refuse to overlook Teo again because that guy is a consistent champion.

But I will win because while he has the killer instinct for the title, John doesn't because he's a weak fool who honestly doesn't want to win the belt. I do and I'm making sure that this time, I'll deliver and I will pin Teo for the three count because I The Animal do things to hurt and destroy my opponents to win titles. Better watch out for this killer instinct wrestler who wants to do better than hold the title for one fucking week and I'll also take the other belt he's got as well the Infinity title.

Once you're beaten down Teo and John, I will pin John or Teo, most likely John for being such a fake fucking hero and a disgrace to wrestling for the three count or submit the prick to a point he'll be in so much pain and I will brutally and violently beat the pair of you until I become the TV and the Infinity champion. See you motherfuckers out there tomorrow night in New Orleans, Louisana.
