OOC: Here's the second CD RP of changes to Konrad in this upcoming title match, well more of Konrad being reminded of them before Horizons PPV starts and it's all off-camera. Enjoy.
--------------------------------------------------
Konrad in his locker room before Horizons PPV starts. Chicago, Illinois. Monday 7th December (Off-Camera)
It wasn't long ago that Konrad arrived in Chicago from Arizona this afternoon and had to go straight to the arena. Konrad didn't get the chance to sort his bag out as Arizona was nowhere near Chicago. Konrad arrived at seven in the evening, barely having any time to grab something to eat, although he managed to have a big lunch in Arizona before he left for Chicago. As Konrad got his luggage from the baggage convoy after going through security checks, he went outside of the airport and placed the luggage in the boot of the taxi. After he's done that, he got in the taxi and went straight to the United Center. Once they got to the United Center, Konrad paid the taxi driver and got the luggage out of the boot of the taxi before the taxi driver drives off.
Konrad drags his luggage away from the fans who were waiting outside, luckily wasn't caught as he went around the back, where wrestlers usually check-in and Konrad obviously showed his wrestling pass to the security, and they let him through. He walked straight into the locker room where he then saw the one person who said they'd show up, his therapist, Doctor Conners as Konrad places his luggage on the floor and says this.
Konrad Raab: "What are you doing in my locker room?"
Doctor Conners: "I need to check if you got rid of the stuff I've told you to do. Also to remind you what you must unleash in the Cross-Hemisphere title match tonight."
Konrad Raab: "Alright, that's understandable."
Doctor Conners: "Of course I'd come to visit you in your locker room before your match. I forgot to tell you. OK, let me see if you left stuff I've told you to do at home."
Although Konrad had literally no time to go home and leave his stuff at home, Konrad unzips his wrestling suitcase, and Doctor Conners looks through, but he turns out to be disappointed as he found a couple of things in the suitcase.
Doctor Conners: "Oh, Konrad, what did I tell you to leave the mask and gloves at home?"
Konrad Raab: "To be honest with you, I've only just come from Arizona, and I had to wrestle in a different company last night. That gear I got with me, that's not to be used for UGWC. It's for a different promotion. I had no time to go home and leave all of the wrestling stuff there."
Doctor Conners: "I forgot you wrestle in other companies as well, my apologies, but I will have to take the mask and the gloves from you, in case you even think about wearing them in the match. I will give them back to you when the match is finished. So let me have them please."
Konrad digs out the mask and the gloves he fought with last night, although it wouldn't have been the mask he wears in UGWC anyway, along with the wrestling trousers he wore with a different design and Conners places them in a carrier bag and then places it in the drawstring bag. Conners couldn't be disappointed at Konrad for that as he saw in Konrad's eyes and with confidence that he was telling Conners the truth. Konrad took a seat on the bench and placed his elbow pads and his trousers on the bench.
Doctor Conners: "Looking like so far, you've listened to me on wanting to wrestle with just your wrestling trousers and your elbow pads. But what about the CD I gave you for the entrance?"
Konrad went digging in his hand luggage as he did manage to listen to the CD while in Arizona to get the feeling for him to prepare to be angry as he pulls it out and places it on top of his trousers. Conners nods at him and pats Konrad on his shoulder.
Doctor Conners: "I'm glad you didn't forget the CD because that's the most important aspect of you preparing yourself to get angry. However, I like to ask why you placed it in your hand luggage?"
Konrad Raab: "Because I was listening to it in my hotel room in Arizona, getting the feeling for it. You were right; it does get me prepared to be angry. I listened to it a lot, and I'll give this to the crew very soon to place with my entrance."
Doctor Conners: "Good, I'm glad you've listened to it more than once to get the feel for the song. I want to say with the video you did in France, while I was proud of you for using bad language and being angry, there was one moment that you were regretting when you said for god's sake. I told you not to do that."
Konrad Raab: "I couldn't help myself. It's the first time I swore on camera for a long time. It made me feel really uncomfortable, and I needed time to breathe from the shock of me swearing to Dave."
Conners nodded as he immediately got his notepad from his drawstring bag and wrote down what Konrad said after answering the question, he wrote down on the concern of Konrad's resistance in the video he did. He sees Konrad still relaxed, which was already concerning Conners as he says this while looking at him.
Doctor Conners: "Why are you so relaxed right now? You should be preparing to be angry."
Konrad Raab: "Because I'm saving for that when I walk in the ring with the theme song in the background. I'm not allowing anyone to see it at the moment. I don't want anyone to see me get angry because otherwise, I'll be exposed by my opponents who are facing me in the match."
Doctor Conners: "Good idea. I'm glad you know how important it is for you to unleash that beast inside of you out. Nobody has seen you use anger or they have, but with you wearing the mask. Will be no hiding your factual expressions tonight, you will show it in front of the world, as you've shown to me, you will do it to your opponents. Also, you have never felt punching your opponents face without the gloves on, and you need to experience how hard you can punch and feel the smash you have with your fists. All of those things will give you an experience you've never had."
Konrad Raab: "I understand. It's still a little uncomfortable and nervous for me to walk out and show anger in front of everyone, especially. It's one thing to show it to my wife and you, but in front of other wrestlers and the fans, that's scary for me."
Conners nodded, seemly expecting for Konrad to feel afraid to show it, but he knows he has to, to benefit himself and his life as a whole, evolving to a whole new Konrad Raab will change.
Doctor Conners: "I'm sure you are, but it's something we all have to do, even if you feel wary of it, you know you need to do this for yourself mostly. Not for anyone else. The most important thing you have to do is not regretting your actions afterwards, and I will be coming back straight after your match to see if you show any signs of regret. Not something I wanted to do, but if you do, I will be disappointed."
Konrad Raab: "I wish I didn't have that habit, but I was really feeling shaky during that moment of the video. It shook me up for a bit. I try to not think about it and being positive about using anger after the match has finished."
Doctor Conners: "I think I'll leave you to hand that CD to the staff and request to put that song on and getting yourself changed and practice preparing yourself to be angry. I will be sitting in the front row, writing notes on everything, your factual expressions, your body language and what you do in the ring. Good luck because I have faith you'll win the Cross-Hemisphere title tonight."
After the convocation, Doctor Conners leaves as Konrad picks up the CD he left on top of his trousers and leaves his locker room to go to the area where the lights, sound and videos play in the truck as he says this.
Konrad Raab: "I'm not going to play my usual theme tonight. I'm going to come out with this. It's the first track of the song I need playing."
Music crew: "No problem, we can accommodate you with this. Thank you for the heads up and good luck."
Konrad handed the single CD over to the music crew who nods his head at Konrad before he leaves the truck to go back to his locker room where the doors close for Konrad to get himself changed for the match and preparing himself to be angry before Horizons PPV begins.
