Commercial of Motrin pills. Bridgeport, Connecticut. Saturday 17th August.
It was a situation Konrad's never done in his whole life, starring in a commercial. It's not something he feels comfortable doing, but because it's for attention he needed for his upcoming title match and UGWC company, he was forced to star in a commercial. He was shaky, biting his lip, breathing very quickly, fiddling with his hands. However, they did set up a wrestling ring so at least it gets Konrad comfortable wrestling in the ring as apart of the commercial. One of the film crew who's behind the camera speaks to Konrad.
Film Crew: "Nervous?"
Konrad Raab: "Yes. I'm not a very good actor."
Film Crew: "You aren't making a movie, this is commercial, and the advice I can give you is to have fun, do what you usually do in wrestling, even if it's serious."
Jerry Flack walked to Konrad and the film crew, seeing how shaky and fiddly Konrad is with the whole commercial thing, especially he's never been the one to star in something as big as this, especially he wasn't a fan of doing things like this.
Jerry Flack: "I know it's difficult for you, but the film crew is right, it's about having fun. It's not like you're doing a commercial on things you aren't already doing, it's why I asked them to do stuff with wrestling and soccer, so you feel comfortable. I even knew you'd be like this before they contacted me about you."
Konrad Raab: "Oh, I'm playing soccer too?"
Jerry Flack: "Yeah, of course, I would never make you do something you don't usually do. At the same time, you've been told to act like your in pain. I know acting is the hardest for you, but have fun."
Konrad Raab: "I will."
It reassured Konrad a bit from the film crew and Jerry about Konrad being so nervous as he was still, but not as much as he was at the beginning. Konrad sat on the floor, placing his hands together and closes his eyes to breath in and out ten times. After he's done that, he opens his eyes, placing his hands apart and got up from his feet, especially when they were almost ready with the things being set up.
As he's up from the floor, Konrad sees what Jerry was talking about with them setting up a football goal on the other side of the filming room. Konrad went to get changed as he was told he was doing a commercial in a wrestling ring. He quickly got changed from his jeans and his white shirt to his wrestling clothes.
Luckily, the guy he was wrestling with had been doing a lot of wrestling training and bumps training for many weeks, who knew he was doing a commercial with Konrad before Konrad found out. The guy's name was Terry, who had done a lot of commercials before. Everything was set up as they were told to get in the ring as both Konrad and Terry do as the cameras press record to state this.
Voice-over: "Have you always suffered from back pains that won't go away?"
After a few wrestling moves had been made on Konrad via Terry with a hard scoop slam and a steel chair to his back, Konrad gets out of the ring, clinching his back and walked away to the locker room, like he would in the wrestling business as the cameras followed him all the way through as they say this during when Konrad pops out a pill from the packet with some water.
Voice-over: "If so, then you can get yourself a pack of IB Motrin pills today, available from your local chemists all across America."
Konrad places the pill in his mouth and drinks water to swallow it. He goes back into the ring and wrestles to a point he wins a title that looks precisely like the Chaos title He then holds the Chaos title in the air, and he comes on camera, being fully aware of the number of suicides happening recently, he comes on camera to say this, holding an orange box of Motrin tablets.
Konrad Raab: "Please do not take more than eight tablets a day and don't take tablets for four hours after you've popped one or two in your mouth. Be careful of the amount you take and don't let your dreams go away into dust."
Voice-over: "Motrin pills, the best way to recover yourself from pain. Highly recommended by your local doctors, chemists and hospitals."
The camera crew says cut as they came towards Konrad, patting him on the back to say this to give him some reassurance."
Camera crew: "That was good, we didn't tell you to do what you said, but it's excellent you did."
Konrad Raab: "Because a lot of people out there in the world are committing suicide, and I thought to get people aware not to destroy their dreams."
Camera crew: "It's great. Now we get you to change into your soccer gear."
Konrad nodded as you couldn't waste time with films or commercials. The camera crew left the locker room for Konrad to change into his soccer clothes and boots he usually wears for them. He comes out, wearing his LA Galaxy football kit and goes to the other side of the filming studio to promote football this time with five players on each team. They start playing as the cameras roll.
Voice-over: "Do you get muscle pain in your legs or arms?"
As Konrad was playing, after it was shown he scored a goal, he got a heavy tackle and went down on the ground, pretending to hold his leg as the manager and fitness crew came to help Konrad up and then gave Konrad a bottle of water along with a pill, looking like liquid as someone kicks the box to catch it in Konrad's hands and says this.
Voice-over: "You can get this large pack of IB liquid gels today from your local chemists and doctors from all over America."
Konrad then goes on camera with a ball in his hand, still dressed in his football gear to say this once again.
Konrad Raab: "Please do not take more than eight tablets a day and don't take tablets for four hours after you've popped one or two in your mouth. Be careful of the amount you take and don't let your dreams go away into dust."
Voice-over: "Motrin pills, the best way to recover yourself from pain. Highly recommended by your local doctors, chemists and hospitals."
The camera crew were told to cut as Konrad once again got himself changed into his regular clothes once again with Jerry discussing things with the camera crew on Konrad, doing surprisingly well, even throwing in one idea of his that was very important for the awareness of suicide Konrad mentioned earlier.
He came out of the locker room wearing his jeans and white shirt, having both his wrestling and football clothes packed in the bag as Konrad sighed, but Jerry shook his head and said this.
Jerry Flack: "I'm proud you've brought up the warning for people overtaking the tablets as they said it's something they've never thought of."
Konrad Raab: "It's not a lie when many people are committing suicide from taking pills. I needed to make people around America aware of it."
Jerry Flack: "It was brilliant, they said. They noticed your nerves, but I told them it's because you have no experience with commercial stuff and you haven't, but they'll be more than happy doing more work with you."
Konrad Raab: "As much fun as this was, I'm likely not going to do it again. I prefer to get down to business and face against Ace Sky with my focus on facing Roxy Cotton for the Chaos title."
Jerry noted it was understandable for Konrad not to want to do commercials again because he wasn't a good actor, nor an entertaining one, but it was set up by Jerry and UGWC staff for Konrad to do, to see how he acts around cameras, apart from when he wrestles in the ring. It was a strange day for Konrad, but a day of fun, which is something he needed to do. He walks out of the film studio and goes back to doing gym training for the match against Ace Sky.

Highflying match is what I need to relax for a while youtube.com shoot.
"What a refresh from doing so many Chaos matches these last few weeks, having Jerry make me be on a learning curve again, dealing with the amount of damage I've taken. Despite all of that, with my lack of experience of hardcore wrestling, I somehow got the win. Ever since Jet Somers gave me some tips, I've been on a roll and winning three matches in a row is something I don't even think that's happened in UGWC and if it has, not in a long time.
I give credit and respect where it's due with Kate Steele and especially Gabrielle who I never thought I'd be saying this, but she has the skill, and she showed how serious of a wrestler she can be. However, I'm facing against an opponent who's very skilled at high flying, Ace Sky. I don't know much about you, other than you being a high flyer.
Now, not many people know I do Cruiserweight moves that I'm not afraid to do because I wanted to be able to wrestle all styles of wrestling because that's how much I respect this sport. I'm not going to trash you because quite honestly, you've said and done nothing wrong to me and from looking how you act, you won't either.
However Ace, I have to admit I need to have another win behind my back because if you're not aware, I've got a Chaos title match coming up because of my hard work paying off right now and I'm more than happy to show you what I have here on Chill. I'm more than happy to wrestle a high flyer and be on par with our skills, making sure Roxy hasn't and won't forget about me when I'm challenging her for the Chaos title. Roxy, I hope you'll watch what wrestling is meant to be when me and Ace fight tomorrow night, teaching you a thing or two how to respect this business. I will speak more about you when our match comes around. I wanted you to make sure of our Chaos title match.
As for Ace, well I have respect for the guy who wants to do his best and win matches fairly because trust me, there's a lot of guys and girls out there who do anything it takes to succeed by cheating, but you don't need to do that. You're incredibly talented, and I'm looking forward to what you'll bring to the table in UGWC by facing me. However, I need to pin you to stake my claim to being a Chaos title contender. Tomorrow night here in Bridgeport, Connecticut, we'll tear the house down and me wishing you all the best of luck. However, I will always say this, even though I respect you, prepare to be Iceinated by The Iceman."
