Atlanta, Georgia. Wednesday 24th April. (Offline)
It had been a week since Dakon's and Ludvig's new arrival from Turkey, Kemal Yilmaz had arrived, and they had been busy getting Kemal settled into America. So instead of going out to a bar, although they could have if Kemal didn't have alcohol, they decided to hang out in a Starbucks coffee shop around the corner from where they were living. Granted, Kemal knew he had to start everything from scratch, maintaining his Halal meat and Muslim status, which was new for Dakon and Ludvig to learn about and for Konrad in a way, too.
They all got hot coffee, seeing how packed it was in the area, and because they had been busy with their own careers with their clubs. At the same time, they've kept an eye out for Kemal and him getting settled in America. They barely got to know him in the last two weeks, apart from the halal and Muslim religious stuff.
Dakon Theron: "It's so good to see you settling in America well, despite how much of a culture difference it is from Turkey to Germany and now here."
Kemal Yilmaz: "All three are very different countries for sure. I still struggle with the English language at times."
Ludvig Eriksson: "Honestly, you speak better English than I did when I first got here, and even Dakon does too."
Dakon Theron: "All despite losing everything in the earthquakes."
Kemal Yilmaz: “Don't remind me. But I do need to tell you how I survived."
That was still heartbreaking for Kemal a year on from the tragic earthquakes that made him lose everything thoroughly, and he goes into more detail on the story about his days of being homeless as they didn't know much about that.
Kemal Yilmaz: "I was wandering the streets for six months, barely surviving because many places in Turkey had run out of food, and we barely had any visitors because everything was demolished, even the airport. So I had to search out of Antakya to various places in Turkey where I could get food."
Dakon Theron: "You didn't get money by buying and selling drugs, did you?"
Kemal Yilmaz: "Of course not, because things like that are forbidden in Turkey. I was offering only money. I mean, a lot of people in Turkey somewhat resorted to that, even if it's forbidden, but I didn't. It was so hard, very hard, and I came back to Antakya to remind myself over and over again about losing everything, and then Konrad came around."
Ludvig was less emotional about the situation at first because he was still the youngest member, but Kemal was only a couple of years older and had only been training for a few months. He still had yet to visit the Atlanta Wrestling Alliance wrestling school. Dakon pats his back, seeing how hard Kemal had to endure the earthquake disaster.
Ludvig Eriksson: "It is commendable that you didn't resort to selling illegal drugs."
Kemal Yilmaz: "I didn't want to live that life of being in danger when I was already in danger of trying to survive. It's all thanks to Konrad, that really saved my ass, honestly. To think I met Konrad for the first time nine months ago and got to where I am now is remarkable."
Dakon Theron: "Yeah, and I pitched the idea to create The European Fiery Nation tag team to attract young kids like yourself into the sport."
Kemal Yilmaz: "What a great idea you proposed to Konrad. He has helped me, that's for sure."
Kemal didn't know the relationship between Dakon and Ginny was closer than just being a team manager. But that's to be discussed later on, as that wasn't important right now, especially since Kemal was still getting his stuff daily from Germany to America, although it was a little stuff.
Ludvig Eriksson: “We're all proud of Konrad. Anyway, you've settled in nicely. Dakon and I have jobs, but you should consider having your own job here and being a professional wrestler. Trust me, it will help you pay for wrestling sessions you'll get, and we can help you with that."
Kemal Yilmaz: "I want to open a Turkish restaurant in Atlanta. This town and the country need to be aware of cultural differences, honestly, and it would encourage people from Turkey to come to America."
Dakon Theron: "Man, you're fucking brilliant; you're already embracing the Europe side of our team. No wonder why Konrad wanted you as well. I never considered having more of a Norwegian part of my motorcycle club, and I must do something about that."
Ludvig Eriksson: "Well, currently, I'm arranging for the World Poker Tournament to come to my casino. There are still discussions about it, and some players are from Sweden, so I've got that covered."
Of course, they have yet to speak about wrestling because it was vital for Dakon and Ludvig to get to know Kemal more. They only met him for the first time a week ago, and there was a lot to discuss. Dakon shook his head and immediately said this as they continued drinking coffee. Of course, Kemal discusses something he had not brought up with anyone, not even Konrad.
Kemal Yilmaz: "I've never had a girlfriend."
Ludvig Eriksson: “Welcome to the club. I never had a serious girlfriend, either. I'm sleeping with lots of women every day. I'm pretty wild when it comes to that."
Dakon Theron: "Don't take lessons from him, especially with your culture and all."
Kemal Yilmaz: "Although I feel I should have freedom, I want to honour my parents and my country. Any girl I get who lives in America and is from Turkey will automatically be my girl. I've not even had sex at all in my life. But at the same time, I came here to start everything from scratch and create my own family when I found the right girl."
Of course, it was understandable, considering Kemal was trying to survive for six months and hadn't been interested in dating until now due to the earthquakes. Of course, they were enjoying time to discuss things about Kemal's life, and he was a permanent member of the Dakon and Ludvig household now who had a Turkey flag above his bed like Dakon and Ludvig have their own flags above their beds too. Dakon finished drinking his coffee while Ludvig and Kemal still had some left.
Dakon Theron: "I can relate to that for real. It's great you're so motivated to start your own family, a bit like I want to do."
Ludvig Eriksson: "I have no desire to do that, but in your case, it's understandable after that tragic event. We give you three more weeks to settle in before we take you to Atlanta Wrestling Alliance to get more training and get you matches for at least a few months. We've already told them about you coming to America and how we feel you needed to get settled before you get to the school to learn more wrestling skills."
Kemal Yilmaz: "I have to be honest. I'm nervous about wrestling in front of a live crowd for the first time at Atlanta Wrestling Alliance."
Dakon Theron: "We will make sure your first match will have Ludvig or me managing you at ringside, as everyone has to be in a single match in their first professional match in the company. Ironically, Ludvig's first match was against me."
Kemal widened his eyes at the discovery because they were European wrestlers. Still, he wondered about the history as he sipped on his coffee, smiling and delighted at being in America. He was relaxed because Dakon and Ludvig had helped Kemal get to know Atlanta better, which they had done, and they even showed him the halal meat shop that they had discovered a few weeks ago themselves.
Kemal Yilmaz: "What about my dreams of opening a Turkish restaurant?"
Dakon Theron: "When we get back from Japan and Australia, we'll look around online for any former restaurants that are permanently closed. While you're away, though, just go to community clubs around here to talk to people and play bowling and arcades; that's not gambling machines, of course."
Kemal Yilmaz: "Of course, I explore the city a bit as well."
Ludvig Eriksson: "We get you a key cut tomorrow so you can explore Atlanta and leave you with money; trust me, I make a lot of money with casino and private strip dances that you never have a problem lacking money. I will leave you three thousand dollars, which should last two weeks. Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia, and welcome to The European Fiery Nation team for now, at least until we, including Konrad, feel you're ready to wrestle in SCW."
Kemal Yilmaz: "Thank you guys for everything. I guess I'll leave you guys to pack for Japan. It's such a shame you have to leave me in America on my own when I've only just arrived."
Dakon Theron: "We will also set up your bank account tomorrow so you have your own card, and Ludvig would put at least three thousand dollars in there to start you off with. Yeah, we are going to get our things together and get our visas sorted for Japan, too. Let's go home."
Ludvig and Kemal finished their coffees and left the table to head back to their home, which was the most significant home Kemal had ever seen; he relaxed for the entire day, getting settled in America, not doing anything until tomorrow, while Ludvig and Dakon go on the computer and enter their flight details.
They also got a suggestion from Konrad about the hotel he suggested for them to stay in Japan. To their discovery, even Dakon didn't know, considering he and Konrad had been friends for a long time; Konrad lived in Japan for two years, can speak and write Japanese and is willing to help them translate their video into Japanese for Japanese wrestling fans.
Although Dakon and Ludvig did the hotel stuff on the phone to Konrad as they didn't understand the language, it didn't take them long to sort it out with Konrad's help. They got their stuff together, or at least bits of it, and socialised with Kemal the rest of the day in their home.
--------------------------------------------
Going to Japan to wrestle is a great start, but we should be wrestling in god damn Europe as well youtube.com shoot. (Online)
Dakon Theron: “The fact that there's not a single European Tour this year for SCW and Japan and Australia get one makes me sick. We should be wrestling in Europe too. Getting to the topic in hand. Losing to Glory and Brittany and them pinning us was pathetic and a joke because not only it shouldn't have happened, but their days in the tag division are over, the most undeserving team in the entire match. They have no business being tag title contenders at all. What are they going to do when they fuck up again?”
Ludvig Eriksson: “Retire is what these two will do after they've failed against you lot for tag titles they didn't deserve once again. Hello, you remember us attacking you both when you were tag champions last time?”
Dakon Theron: “We fucked you both up good and we loved that. People say we should show respect for teams and how we should change, change to being respectful, change to being individual wrestlers like everyone else in this god damn place because they are scared to be stuck in one division?”
Ludvig Eriksson: “It's stupid and shows the lack of dedication the teams have for tag wrestling. Anyway, what does your tag name even mean? Like how can you possibly have light in the dark, unless you have green LED lighting like Konrad has sometimes?”
Dakon Theron: “I mean you two don't help yourselves, do you to be on the end of us being your target because you're tag champions. Anyone who's a tag champion is automatically a target and those tag contenders aren't true tag wrestlers, they only exist for Glory's pathetic grand slam achievement.”
Ludvig Eriksson: “The fact is we're completely different to anyone you've seen. We're hardcore wrestlers that beat the shit out of people and we are very different, more so when we bring the Turkish kid in our team who's culture is completely different from us and we come from the same continent. We represent our European countries and we represent Konrad's wrestling school.”
Dakon Theron: “But somehow, despite Konrad doing a lot of attacks on his own without us, we're his lackies when Konrad does absolutely nothing with us. We seek rivalries on our own, like we did with you both. Konrad didn't tell us to attack you both, we decided on our own accord.”
Ludvig Eriksson: “It took SCW bosses this long to get us to face you guys. We're the only ones that are consistent with our goal of being tag champions. That's the only thing we care about and we don't acknowledge individual glories of being solos champions because we don't give a damn.”
Dakon Theron: “What you got around your waists is what we care about and what we came to do. We exist only for tag titles and once we done it, we aren't going to retire, we're going to win the belts again and again, multiple times with or without Konrad and our future Turkish wrestler on our side.”
Ludvig Eriksson: “We aren't changing because of teams changing shit, changing shit isn't going to solve anything and we're still doing the same thing because it's what we are good at. Why change when we enjoy what we do?”
Dakon Theron: “Because they want to win matches regularly, we only care about winning if it's beating tag champions or beating every team that should've happened at the PPV because we're the better team, not hacks of Glory and Brittany. You guys might not be hacks, but please, make sense when coming up with a tag name because there's no light inside of darkness.”
Ludvig Eriksson: “Everyone was so happy when you guys won the tag titles from the hacks, but we know you're already a better team than them, but we're better and when we win this match from you both, we'll be in the tag title hunt too because that's where we should be clearly.”
Dakon Theron: “And we'll fuck you both up far worse than we did when we attacked you both from behind because of our decision to. We lost every tag match, so what?”
Ludvig Eriksson: “Except for the Retribution PPV, none of them meant a damn thing, we weren't getting the tag title match if we racked up a lot of wins, we win when things matter and we are going to win this match.”
Dakon Theron: “We do what we're here set out to do, beat the living hell out of the pair of you and we'll do it over and over again until we get our rightfully deserved tag title shots that we, not Glory and Brittany should've gotten. What a right way for us to show anger than to dish it out on you tag champions who have the tag title contenders saying they've should've beaten you both.”
Ludvig Eriksson: “You two are fucked and done for honestly. We're sick of being called Konrad's lackies when we do nothing for him in favour, despite Enigma being a coward because he's afraid of attacking Konrad.”
Dakon Theron: “But it's fine because despite me wanting to beat the shit out of Enigma for reasons I can't say, we're going to unleash hardcore wrestling onto you girls because great champions you both are, but we're so much better and we don't need wins unlike Glory and Brittany do for some reason to prove that we're more deserving. The attacks we've done will be a distant memory of the brutality and pain we'll give to you girls. Because hot headed Europeans have that style in them.”
It had been a week since Dakon's and Ludvig's new arrival from Turkey, Kemal Yilmaz had arrived, and they had been busy getting Kemal settled into America.
