Konrad Raab vs. Marie Jones

Portland, Oregon (Mount Hood climb). Friday 9th February. (Offline)

As we were getting in a taxi to get to this hut where I and this guy Ross found, Jacob Thomas who was my mountaineer who was going to be with me, I was looking at the mountain from the car and I was already gulping and shaking a bit because this would be my biggest fear to climb the mountain. I just feel it was going to be such a struggle for me that I literally didn't want to do it. Jacob had already been briefed with Ross on why he selected this task for me to do. Jacob could already tell I was uncomfortable. We had large rucksacks with us with all the equipment we needed. We had radios for communication as well, including Ross having one as well. Jacob saw I was shaking and being afraid and he couldn't keep quiet about it anymore.

Jacob Thomas: “You're going to be fine. That's why I'm here to take care of you and we'll climb this together.”

Konrad Raab: “But you've climbed this mountain and other mountains before, I haven't.”

Jacob Thomas: “Well the fact is I saw your equipment and it seems your all equip up for this task, even got some emergency supplies that's not stated to bring, but it's always a good idea, especially for a first timer with this.”

Konrad Raab: “I don't know what I'm more afraid of, this or going for the World Title?”

This is like a world title match preparation for me and I already felt like I was going to be sick as I was so anxious and paranoid. I pressed the button to roll the window down and vomited a bit before I breathed in and out. Jacob really saw the effects I've always had my entire life when it came to world title matches. I pressed the window back up.

Jacob Thomas: “It's OK, drink a lot of water and take a headache tablet when we arrive at the lodge. We aren't going to start tomorrow, we're doing it today, despite this.”

Konrad Raab: “Sorry for that. I feel completely embarrassed.”

Jacob Thomas: “Why? It's not embarrassing at all. You're just afraid that these things trigger everything Ross has been saying to you. You will do this and I will encourage and push you to do so.”

I stayed silent after that because I needed to look at the mountain to focus how in gods name I'm going to conquer this mountain climb, how am I not going to feel I need to get down, even with Jacob's encouragement? Anyway we got to Wy'east Day Lodge, two hours later as we had to change into our climbing and warmth gear. Because we were climbing in the winter, we had extra layer of clothes on. We went to the mens changing rooms to put on waterproof trousers, waterproof jacket, heavyweight gloves, beanie hat, neckwarmer, skiing goggles and mountaineering boot.

I was not looking forward to this at all, but I can't deny that Ross is right, I needed to confront my fears mentally and this was certainly a challenge. Jacob helped me put the crampons on my mountaineering boots. I also put on headlamps as well. I was also given a climbing harness which we put on We were also given climbing helmets, trekking poles and ice axe's too. We put the stuff we don't need in the correct places in our bags before we zip them up and leave the changing rooms.

However, after we had to fill out the form to get climbers permit, I wanted to sit down, taking deep breaths in and out before doing this hell climb. Jacob seemed to be extremely patient with me, understanding how much of a task this was for me to even leave this lodge and it's still holding me back, even with Jacob doing this with me. I covered my hands over my face, not able to believe I have to do this to improve my mentality which was as of right now at an all time low.

Jacob Thomas: “Come on, we aren't going to wait forever. We need to go now as it's one in the morning and it's much easier to climb when it's dark than when the sun is out. You can do this. Lets go.”

I closed my eyes and did a few breathing exercises for five minutes before I opened my eyes and we left the lodge on the other side and we turned GPS on and started walking through the dirt which seems to be the easiest part, especially when we approach the lifts part. The hard work begins by climbing the glacier with using our trekking poles to get up there. As we got half way, I was already exhausted, breathing in and out, still concerned about having altitude sickness. I needed to stop as I was losing my breath and I got a drink out of the bag and drank quite a lot of it and I sat down for a bit.

Jacob Thomas: “You've done better than expected Konrad.”

Konrad Raab: “I already want to get down. This hasn't been fun.”

Jacob Thomas: “Not everything you do will be fun. Look, you've reached half way in three hours. When we get to the triangle part, we are going right because that's the south part for beginners like you.”

Konrad Raab: “I'm exhausted.”

Jacob Thomas: “Come on, you can do it. This is to build on your mental toughness. The only thing beating you is your mentality.”

He was right, I couldn't have any answers for that. I was pretty exhausted and luckily, it wasn't so bad when it was still winter season, but most likely be a lot worse if it was summer. Suddenly, Jacob had another idea as well as something he just said.

Jacob Thomas: “Be angry and take every ounce of anger out on the mountain. Growl and shout if you have to because I feel your anger is a way to be successful in not only your wrestling and racing career, but with life and this mountain climb as well.”

Konrad Raab: “That's a good idea. Yeah I do that.”

It was brilliant of him and I know Ross heard every word of what's being said as Jacob and Ross have been communicating with each other with the progress I've made. Jacob showed me how to climb properly by kicking ice with my crampons via wearing mountaineer boots and I growled each time I did to get anger out because at this point, I did feel I need to get anger out because being all happy or trying to was not me. Ross then suddenly spoke on the radio.

Ross Barnes via radio: “Remember what I said about speaking positive thoughts about the future?”

I had forgotten about that because this climb was already taking so much out of me that I hadn't at all been positive about myself. It's pretty difficult to do so while doing this climb, growling every minute I took a step, even if I'm exhausted. I still had to do it and I had to train myself that no matter how difficult something was, I have to keep going and that's the hard thing about trying to chase titles I haven't won is I lost and I rather move on.

Jacob told me to stop because we needed ropes and ice picks to climb as he attached mine and his rope to the top and he signalled me to get up as he says this.

Jacob Thomas: “You need to be extremely careful here Konrad. Don't go too fast, but don't go too slow either. You need to focus on this part.”

I knew this was going to be extremely tough, despite being pretty close to the triangle part where we'd go right because I was still new to this and Jacob continuously shouts you can do it and to take my time and take breaks if I need to. This was tough and bloody brutal. I don't know if I can do much more of these mental training.

Suddenly, I started sniffing and I smelt fire, fumes, ashes and coal. That was the motivation I needed. I went from wanting to get the fuck down from this stupid mountain climb, to wanting to continue because I love the smell. So I was using the love for fire motivation to climb. I never had the feeling of smelling something that would motivate me badly before.

Jacob Thomas: “Now, that's the motivation I'm talking about, you switching a fucking gear. Knew you had it in you.”

I chuckled because I would obviously do that, although I had to laugh as if to make it as a joke for Jacob's and Ross's sake. I literally now want to get to the top. I still growled, but I kept sniffing fire, fumes and coal like it's a sniffing glue and aerosols addiction when it comes to love of fire. Now this was when I forgot about being exhausted altogether, despite I literally was and the fears of getting altitude sickness was completely gone when the smell of fire hit me in the face.

Well not literally, but that's the mentality I had with it. Now it took me a lot quicker than it once was to get to the triangle part where I'd meet Jacob. I did want to settle down for a bit as I needed a drink of water which I took large gulps of it. I was exhausted properly, but this was a proper challenge. I go to say this is more of a challenge than winning wrestling and racing titles. I rested for twenty minutes before Jacob stood up and pointed me the right direction for the south summit.

Konrad Raab: “You know, this was really tough and I won't deny that, but when I smelt fire, it helped me realise that I have been avoiding too many difficulties like running from wanting to win world titles.”

Jacob Thomas: “I think you were afraid of pushing yourself the extra mile. You lost and accepted it instead of going for the goal itself. Just like here today. You were afraid to do so with climbing this mountain, but we still got some way to go. We need to continue because it's still a bit of a walk.”

I nodded as Jacob was dead right, there was still more walking to go and I had been punishing myself about the whole thing because I legitimately was scared. But the fire lighted my fears up in smoke when I smelt them. I was so confident of wanting to reach the summit that I ended up being ahead of Jacob. I also remembered what Ross said earlier and I start doing so, as much as I find being positive within myself difficult.

Konrad Raab: “These idiots aren't going to change me, but they aren't because I refuse to be the nice guy that shows massive amount of respect to wrestlers that have shown me zero. I'm going to make things personal for them and crush their fucking soul.”

I smiled as Jacob knew why I was saying those things because I needed to be positive about myself, although I hadn't gotten to the point. But I aim to do that now as I continue to climb with the rope and with the ice pick.

Konrad Raab: “They all want me to be the same as everyone else, but I won't because I'm not going to be pathetic and fall into a pack like they are. The motivation for me was anger and that's far more of an effective tool for me because it made me a better wrestler and it made me more determined than I ever was.”

It was positive in my own way and that was all I wanted to say quite frankly because my motivation was to climb to the summit of the Mount Hood. I barely spoke until I had to stop and it was the feeling of me fearing to go the extra mile because it causes pressure on myself and also the fear of losing a world title match really did me in. However I was a minute away from standing on top of the summit and the smell of fire meant I was close to the top. I finally made it, six hours after starting the climb.

Jacob Thomas: “Congratulations Konrad, now, lets take a selfie for you to say you've done this very difficult task it was for you.”

We took a selfie picture which he sends to Ross and he got something else out of the bag and it turns out to be a flag with stating, Konrad's part one of his mental training completed at Mount Hood. It was just part one? Yikes so it means I may have to do more of these climbs, but I still felt the difficulty of doing more mountain climbing. Jacob gave me the flag and I just held it because I don't know what to do with it.

Jacob Thomas: “Go on, plant that flag down to the ground.”

I growled with anger and stood on my feet to plant the flag down to the ground and left it there since a ton of people have done before, but what I later discovered was the reason I smelt fire was because I discovered that it was more than just a regular mountain and I saw a couple of others doing the same behind us.

Konrad Raab: “Did I just climb a volcano?”

Jacob Thomas: “Yes, that was the other part that was dangerous as well as climbing up it. Granted I think when you smelt fires, that was motivation you clicked into gear. Now, lets take a picture of you with the flag and then the flag on it's own.”

I nodded as I walked over to where the flag was and Jacob took a picture with me with the flag and then the flag on it's own as I looked around me and saw multiple of mountains to climb that wouldn't be surrounded by fire or volcano ash I should say, but I enjoyed the views to look at as we ascended down to the bottom, getting me some really valuable rest and we did the north summit of the path as well and then I was done by Sunday where I flew straight to Florida because of Daytona coming up.

Talking about the rest of this pathetic screaming children field on why they've destroyed than improving the business blog (Online)

“According to SCW wrestlers, what you have to do to get an title shot in SCW is screaming loudly saying in every video how much heart and passion you all have for this business and how badly you want to win championships and be the top wrestler to achieve your goals. You scream that, you get a title shot immediately. You have so many different names, but because there's barely to no characters in wrestling anymore to stand out from others and zero creativity, I can barely tell who's who anymore because you lot act and say the same shit as each other as if everyone in SCW doesn't wrestle for the same reasons which makes all of you pathetic for saying so. But anyway, let's get talking to the rest of you chumps who act entitled to be in matches.

Yuyo, sure you nearly won the rumble well done for outlasting half of the roster even though it was a complete fluke just like your win was against Marie, I still laugh at you if you kneed me in the face because you still are a comedy and a cosplay joke and your harmless. But you should've stuck with that because you had character with it and that would stand you out to the rest of these wrestlers. Nothing you've done will change my mind because I'm not stupid like everyone else in this match is, praising you for your efforts.

I love when David Striker loves to throw two certain words around to other wrestlers including my team. You're the biggest pertualent child in this match. You scream, cry and bitch so much about how bad you want to win titles, how bad you think you've earned title shots when really you've been handed many title shots since you got here with the Underground title the only title you've earned and that win turned out to be a fluke. I don't think you know or earned your place in SCW at all. Chris Lawler is right, your impatience is a weakness, especially you're still have plenty of years ahead of you and you should go back of the line after this match until you fucking earned your title shots. I will praise you for the creativity of doing that Underground title match. Saying that, where's the creativity of your character? Maybe you should be the Chaos bringer and seek revenge because at least you'd stand out from everyone else and actually being creative.

What can I say about the Lexy bitches of Fall St. Patrick and Ravyn Taylor. Now, I get why Ravyn Taylor being a threat and I think honestly, she's the only wrestler I consider being a threat in this entire match, although obnoxious Lexy actually gets title shots for her which Ravyn Taylor can get herself because she's the only wrestler that will actually give me a fight because unlike the rest of the wrestlers in this match, she's patient as fuck for title opportunities and she doesn't need to scream every video to get them. However, what has Patrick said and done since they got into SCW? Right, nothing. I find it funny Marie Jones hasn't called Patrick for his lack of heart, passion and lack of title goals. Worst of all I defeated him long ago along with Gavin Taylor in the same match too.

Gavin Taylor is certainly interesting me right now because he's becoming creative, something we need in this broken wrestling business. Jesus Christ, absolutely brilliant creativity and I can't wait to see this Jesus Christ Gavin Taylor because we sure need a lot more character wrestlers around here to stand out from boring pathetic screaming passion, heart and title desperation wrestlers of the world.

I don't have much to say about Chris Lawler because quite frankly, I know little to nothing about him, but I feel sorry that you have to face that whining, crying and pathetic child who has no business being in this tournament. But I don't think I've seen much of you to comment, but you're exactly like Marie Jones, coming back because you weren't able to deliver last time around. At least the difference is your not doing it for a family legacy.

Nobody can fucking question about how I stand out to everyone in this match because unlike the rest who play by the rules both in this tournament and facing Bree, showering her with respect in the world, I won't be whatsoever both in this tournament and the match against Bree herself. I mean fuck, beating everyone she's fought for the title isn't really that impressive and more so she's won the Adrenaline title before. She's pathetic and the only thing you hear of Bree is her life outside the ring with Josh Hudson. That's not even worth to talk about.

See how much passion, heart and want to win a title more than the rest from this and the last video? See how different I am? Because you can fucking believe I will take taking short cuts, cheating to win because that will show much more how I want to win. I will show no respect and go in there to win for myself. Marie Jones will be easy to beat because she is of no threat, despite convincing everyone she has me beat because of opponents she's fought before that do nothing to tell me she's a threat, especially she's already fucked her chances up against Bree already and she lost to a comedy joke recently too.

She's already beaten and eliminated from the tournament because she will suffer a brutal beating and I won't leave any room for you worthless fucks to walk away from this match. I'm deadly and powerful and you all, including Bree won't see it coming as I'll be the new Adrenaline Champion because I was patient to time shit right to actually strike, compared to everyone else who can't do so and that's what makes me dangerous and a threat more than all of you that I will do absolotely everything to win because I believe in every action I make and I have no consequences what I do in the ring.”
