End of the Year Open Invitational

[Konrad Raab]

Overcoming his fears of telling Sebastian his family life. Las Vegas, Nevada. Friday, 20th December. (Off Camera)

Although everyone in SCW had time off from wrestling lately because of the Christmas holidays coming up, Konrad didn't have time off at all as he had to wrestle against Xander Valentine and placed himself in the battle royal for the Cruiserweight title. He didn't fail to impress, but he has signed a couple of contracts to wrestle in two other companies, although one of them was only for the Junior Heavyweight division.

Today wasn't about those companies as he sits in Alliance Mental Health specialists, as usual, waiting for Doctor Schneider to be ready for him. It was a bit quieter in the waiting room today since rarely anyone wanted to discuss their problems during this time. Still, because Konrad had missed a few sessions as of late, he had to come in today, especially his adopted son Sebastian kept asking Konrad questions about his family life quite a lot recently. Konrad shakes his head while having his head down, looking at the floor and says this to himself in the waiting room, already wearing the white overalls he has to wear each time he came there.

Konrad Raab: "Why can't I tell Sebastian about my family life?"

As the door opened for someone to come in, while they saw Konrad shaking his head, a man known as Doctor Schneider sees Konrad shaking, panicking on what he said. Schneider walks closer to Konrad, and he says this. 

Doctor Schneider: "Because you're afraid of telling him. Come on, let's go."

Konrad thought what Schneider said and part of what Schneider said was right, he was afraid of telling Sebastian of his family life because he doesn't like to talk about it. Schneider knows that's what they need to talk about, Konrad's fears in life as he picks himself up and drags himself to Schneider's office. Konrad sits down, having his head looking at the floor again, even shaking a bit.

Doctor Schneider: "Is Sebastian, your eldest son, you adopted?"

Konrad Raab: "Yes."

Doctor Schneider. "I always wondered what his name was. Yes, what I said is true; you are afraid to talk about it. I sense that you're afraid of showing your emotions towards your son."

Konrad Raab: "It's apart of that, yes, but I also have no idea how I can explain something so graphic you know to a fourteen-year-old boy. What if he doesn't understand me?"

Doctor Schneider: "I suggest what you'd do is tell him not necessary the graphic parts of what your dad did to you, but just small bits like the beatings you used to go through and burns on your face. If he asks questions a bit more about it, only then you tell him what happened."

Konrad Raab: "I don't want to tell him the graphic parts or want to tell him at all. I don't like to cry in front of my kids. Heck, they've never seen me angry because I don't let them see the ugly part of myself."

It's something Schneider nodded at as he went through all the notes of Konrad's life and it matches what Konrad said; he wrote down his fears of crying in front of his kids which has always been difficult. It was one thing to tell his eldest daughters from his previous relationship what happened as they were adults, but telling a teenager is another story altogether.

Doctor Schneider: "You have to tell him. Do you know how old you were when you started attempting suicide?"

Konrad shrugs his shoulders, shaking his head to Schneider as he says this after reading notes on the age Konrad started to do things on trying to end his life.

Doctor Schneider: "Fourteen so yes, you need to tell him now."

Konrad Raab: "What happens if I cry in front of him? What happens if I get angry in front of him?"

Doctor Schneider: "Then you let it all out, let him see you cry, let him see you angry."

Konrad Raab: "He will never see me be angry. I go away from him to let my anger out because I've told you what happened to my mum and Fizz when I got angry. They got hurt. If I hurt Sebastian, I wouldn't live with my kids ever again and to be honest, would attempt suicide if I attacked Sebastian or any of my kids."

Konrad doesn't like to be angry, not even during the sessions he has with Schneider as he knows what his anger is like. If he were able to do the things Konrad's done with Fizz and his mother, it would be the same with Sebastian; only he feels it would be worse due to his fear of having his father rights taken from him. Schneider writes it down and sees tears running down from Konrad's face, knowing he can't ever be angry in front of them.

Doctor Schneider: "There's no need to cry, Konrad. I agree, being angry is never good for your kids to see, sorry I went too far with you there, but Sebastian's old enough to know about your family life. Sebastian asks because he wants to know more about you, especially since he was adopted."

Konrad Raab: "I know he has every right to ask, but the problem is I need to be away from the other kids to tell him, and I haven't had the time to tell him alone."

Doctor Schneider: "I understand with your wrestling schedule, but you need to tell him before he starts to doubt if you love him or not. I agree you need to tell Sebastian away from other kids. If you cry, don't worry about it, it will show and teach Sebastian that even parents have emotions and it's natural that he does too."

Konrad nods on the part of him feeling fine to cry in front of his son if he forced himself to go there and sure, there are things Konrad didn't know about, but after the last session of him being explained in full of his DID, he fully understands now and even brought more books to know more about it. Schneider writes everything Konrad says and does in the room. Konrad grabs a plastic cup full of water and drinks it.

Doctor Schneider: "I would like for you to tell Sebastian either before or after Christmas Eve and Day. Those aren't perfect days to tell him, but other times, you can. I also want you to tell him before you come here next time. He needs to know. Do you think you can do that?"

Konrad gulped, when being told to tell Sebastian about Konrad's family life right away, especially Fizz, has already told Sebastian her side of the family. It's why in Konrad's mind Sebastian has been asking Konrad every other week. Konrad moves around, feeling very uncomfortable of what Schneider asked for Konrad to do, but he says this.

Konrad Raab: "I think so."

Doctor Schneider: "Konrad, I want you to tell Sebastian, and I want you to be confident in doing so as well. You don't have a choice; you have to tell him. I think so is not the answer I want to hear. I ask again and say it with confidence, do you think you can do that?"

Konrad Raab: "Yes."

Doctor Schneider writes down what was said and Konrad's body language of twitching and uncertainty he can overcome his fear of telling a teenage boy about his life. If there's a good thing to come out of all of these discussions, it was knowing everything before his other kids were teenagers to know about Konrad's family life. It was a hard one, even if the session today was meant to be planned for Konrad to cope with his anger on the past being hidden from him, but it was clear Konrad got distracted by asking himself a question.

Doctor Schneider: "I still sense your anger of you not being told about your past with your dad earlier. That's another reason why I want you to tell Sebastian because so he doesn't end up here."

Konrad Raab: "I can't guarantee that because he hasn't had an easy life growing up and he doesn't know anything about his real parents as they died when he was four years old and his grandparents didn't want to know Sebastian or felt they could take care of him."

Doctor Schneider: "I understand, of course, but I meant to say your other kids won't end up here in the future. You need to let go of the anger on secrets kept from you. It will take you time I know, and I'm sorry your mother was unable to tell you earlier, but that's something you learnt from. Never keep secrets from your kids."

Konrad Raab: "I'm still angry inside on my mum not telling me, but I get why she didn't on me losing my temper with her and go on a full attack, like last time."

Doctor Schneider: "Yes, it was down to that, and if you could cope with it, which was clear when you were told about your DID, you couldn't. I think that's all we have time for today. Before we end the session here, I need to ask as I always do in every session, how are you sleeping?"

Konrad Raab: "Everything is fine in that department, even if Jerry and Fizz sometimes remind me to take it before I go to sleep because I nearly forgot a few times, but it's all good. No nightmares of my dad and Drexel, nothing."

Schneider nods and writes down Konrad's sleeping habits not being a problem since he went on the tablets permanently which now he takes for the rest of his life due to Konrad's violent outbursts in the night he used to do in his sleep. Konrad finishes the cup of water before he pulls the chair back and gets up to leave the room. Konrad goes to the changing rooms to change into his clothes again as Konrad goes to the reception to collect his personal belongings. He leaves the building to drive back home with Fizz and his kids around him.

Konrad finally tells Sebastian his family life. Anaheim, California. Friday 27th December. (Off Camera)

It's a hard road for Konrad for him to know everything he needed to know about his dad and the amount of bullying he had to endure himself when he was a young boy. Christmas has finished with them mostly spending time in America with Konrad's twin brother, Konrad's twin brother's husband and their kids and they not long got home. Due to the holidays, his frequent hospital visits are cancelled, but he had the perfect chance to talk to Sebastian, alone about his family life.

Before he tells him, Konrad manages to play with his younger kids of the toys they got for Christmas and them along with Konrad were happy, especially when it involved putting lego pieces together to make vehicles. It was a Christmas Konrad enjoyed with his family, even if Markus and Samuel came back with them for protection in case Drexel and Osker came to kill Konrad and his family.

After he put his younger kids in bed, he whispers to Fizz's ear on him telling Sebastian about his past, alone. She nods and kisses him as he went downstairs and sees Sebastian watching wrestling on TV, inspired to be a future wrestler. After the show finished, Konrad pats him on his back, and Sebastian turns around to Konrad and says this.

Konrad Raab: "Sebastian, I need to speak to you alone in your bedroom."

Sebastian: "What about?"

Konrad Raab: "Something you've been asking me a lot lately, and I'm ready to tell you now."

Sebastian said ahhh to himself, knowing what Konrad was talking about as he got up from his sofa and they walked upstairs to Sebastian's bedroom. Sebastian's bedroom were maroon coloured walls, having many posters of Konrad both as a wrestler and a footballer on the wall as they took a seat on his bed, having FC Koln duvet and pillows as he was a fan of the team, like Konrad as well. Konrad sighs before he speaks.

Konrad Raab: "I had to tell you away from every one of my family life story because unlike your mums, although tragic as it was her mum dying at a young age, it's nothing like that with me and my family."

Sebastian: "So what happened?"

Konrad Raab: "My dad, he wasn't good to me. He never wanted me in his family, so he used to beat me up every day, even without the alcohol as my dad was an alcoholic. He always said things like I'm an ugly boy and a devil, even a few times, he burned my face over the cooker. My mum, she wasn't able to do anything, not even call the police because if she did, my dad would've burned the house down with me inside of it."

Sebastian: "Why did he beat you?"

Konrad Raab: "I don't know why but he never wanted me to defend myself, being treated like a piece of garbage, saying how much of a woman I am and how I should have never been born. This entire time, even when I was at school, he wanted me to be bullied and hurt in the playground and classrooms."

Konrad tries very hard not to let tears come down on his face, feeling afraid to let Sebastian see how much it hurt Konrad to explain the family story to him. The next part was going to be the hardest as Sebastian sees his father shaking, covering his face to be ashamed of himself on how weak Konrad was as a child. The worst is yet to come as Konrad uncovers his face, seeing tears run down his face.

Konrad Raab: "It was so bad that at your age, I started to attempt suicide, wanting to end my life because of what I've gone through. I was sent to an army camp because my dad wanted me out of his house at fourteen, and I was afraid because I didn't know how to fight and defend myself. Now I discovered, it was never to toughen me up, or I wanted to serve my country, it was because my dad wanted me shot dead, removing me from his life."

Sebastian: "Oh my god, I'm sorry for forcing you to tell me."

It was at that point, Sebastian hugged his father, letting his dad tears run down his face, the first time Sebastian saw his dad cry. Sebastian began not feeling bad about himself on the anger he feels every day, wondering what happened to his parents as it took Konrad a while to come around to say this to Sebastian.

Konrad Raab: "No, I should've told you a lot earlier, but I didn't know if you would've understood the amount of hell I went through as a kid to get where I am now."

Sebastian: "Trust me, dad, I understand. I understand why you acted the way you did in your early days if your dad was a drunken idiot. Do yo…………………."

Konrad Raab: "Yes, but my dad wouldn't allow me to do karate or any martial art, let alone wrestling. When I think back, I should've been a wrestler in the first place. Problem is it's not easy to be a professional wrestler in Germany."

Sebastian: "Yeah, that's what I thought as you and Markus are the only German wrestlers I knew. The difference was I wanted you as my dad because you're a nice guy and getting to know you as my dad, I knew I picked a perfect father and mother in my life, knowing I can be a professional wrestler."

Sebastian hugged his dad pretty hard, although he wished he didn't force his dad to tell him, it's still something Konrad needed to do and was lucky as well to at least say to another child, besides his eldest daughters from his first marriage. Konrad didn't like to pour tears to his kids, but he had to as Sebastian says this.

Sebastian: "You're a kind dad because you want to be nothing like your dad. It explains why you were trying so hard to adopt me, so I don't end up growing up like your dad."

Konrad Raab: "Exactly, and I also told you this story because I don't want you to feel like you can't tell me or your mum if you feel suicidal. You must tell us right away if you do so we can get you help for it. I didn't have support for that because my mum was too scared to do anything, but she loved me a lot which is why I'm still here."

Sebastian: "So how did you become a professional wrestler if it was difficult to get there?"

Konrad Raab: "You know I told you I saved Fizz's life to get her life back on track after being left for dead? Well, she saved my dreams from going away and getting me involved in the professional wrestling business. I would have never made it if I wasn't going out with your mum. I hope I can change that in Germany, to open up a wrestling school there so people can be professional wrestlers easier via progression and get other wrestling companies to sign them up."

Sebastian nods, smiling at the idea his father had, opening a wrestling school in Germany is an excellent idea as he claps his hands and Sebastian says this.

Sebastian: "I like to be apart of that as well, helping wrestlers get their start. It seems like we were both lucky to be or in my case, near enough to be professional wrestlers because of my mother being involved. Shame she doesn't want to be involved anymore."

Konrad Raab: "It is, but at the same time, my wrestling career grew so much more without her. If we were still wrestling, we wouldn't be together. She didn't want my career to be overshadowed with her's. It was also during the time she lost complete interest in the sport. She did MMA, but she didn't go far with that, and there are no MMA companies who'd sign Fizz. That's why now after she's had the baby, she's going to be a motorcycle rider next year."

Sebastian nods, acknowledging his father and his mother not wanting their relationship to collapse or their careers to overshadow one another. It gave Sebastian hope on Fizz getting herself back on track with her job of doing what she dreamt of doing, being a motorcycle rider which not many people dared to do. However, Sebastian got off track and talked about something on his mind.

Sebastian. "What's the deal about the battle royal coming up with the SCW title on the line? That's unusual to me."

Konrad Raab: "In Supreme Championship Wrestling, every year in the company, three members of randomised teams take part in what we call trios tournament where six teams compete for a prize to earn themselves a contract that lets wrestlers do what they want. This year, the team of Regan Street, Glory Braddock and Kellen Jeffries won the Trios tournament. Kellen Jeffries decided to go for the SCW title in the battle royal."

Sebastian: "That takes guts for him to do something big like that. Are you going to wrestle in it?"

Konrad Raab: "Yes because being in that match against Alistaire Allocco changed my competitive nature, big time. I had this belief in myself of never being able to win the SCW title because the goal was too far of a reach for me. While it was the last of my goals in the past, it no longer is because of Alistaire giving me the opportunity and wanting to go for the belt, consistently."

Sebastian once again hugs Konrad, but a happier hug as it was not as tight as before, but both of them smile, knowing they were able to keep each other happy, especially Sebastian hearing his dad, wanting to compete in the battle royal. It bothered Konrad a lot on him not competing at a PPV event since the win against Casterillo back in September. Fizz knocked, and Sebastian comes to the door and let's Fizz in, seeing Konrad wipes his face due to his tears earlier.

Fizz Raab: "Is everything alright?"

Sebastian: "Yes, mum. Dad was telling me about his family life."

Konrad nodded, feeling shaky about telling him. Still, due to the age of him attempting suicide, the age Sebastian is now, he had to before Sebastian even started having thoughts on it and that Schneider told him he wouldn't get any support until he does. She sits on the bed with Konrad and Sebastian.

Fizz Raab: "I'm glad. For your dad to explain his family life was hard, especially him crying in front of you as I imagined."

Sebastian: "He did cry, but at the same time, I understood everything my dad said, it's why he wanted to adopt me, treating me and my other brothers and sisters equally and wanting to be a wrestler, so he doesn't end up like his dad."

Fizz Raab: "Yes, that's right."

Sebastian: "Dad said he will compete in the battle royal coming up."

Fizz Raab: "Your dad already told me, and I understand because he wants to be an SCW champion so badly. He may not say it, but he does when you look at his body language, not to mention the hours he spends in the gym is more than I ever did. That says a lot about your dad wanting to be champion badly. Now, I think it's time for you to go to sleep."

Konrad raises his head, nodding at Sebastian, agreeing with Fizz to go to bed as Fizz and Konrad leave Sebastian, but not without them equally hugging him with Sebastian receiving a kiss on his left cheek by Fizz herself. They said good night to each other and Sebastian closes the door as Konrad finally lifting his head, smiling towards Fizz as he got the difficult part of telling his eldest son of his family life out of the way. They walked to their bedroom and closed the door behind them to have a bit of loving time together before they went off to sleep.

Earning my entry to be the SCW champion youtube.com shoot. (On Camera)

"There's a lot of reasons for wrestlers to enter in this match, including myself because you see, back when I first competed here, winning the SCW title was the last goal I want to achieve. It all changed when Alistaire Allocco wanted to face me for the title; it gave me the competitive spirit I was missing. Therefore I will compete, regardless because opportunities like this do not come around every single day.

Especially a few wrestlers who rarely get opportunities for SCW title who worked their butts off to earn one their entire SCW career. Most people from what I've heard have been criticising Kellen Jefferies for making a match like this. If he competes in this match for the SCW title, that's one gutsy wrestler. If I were an SCW champion, I would love the chance to test myself against the top wrestlers in a battle royal with my title on the line because I love competition and would make sure I'd work for my title reign as well.

How many of you would dare to force yourself with odds stacked against you in a match like this? I praise Kellen for having the guts to do something not many wrestlers would do, putting himself in the deep end to work for the title at higher stakes. Who knows if Kellen would compete? If he does good on him.

If not, that's when I'll question why Kellen set up this SCW title match when he didn't compete in it. Why would he waste the opportunity away to others? That would be the only thing I have against the match. I get those who already question it on him giving it to undeserving wrestlers like Syren as she doesn't deserve a shot at all, but instead of complaining about it, why not be in the match yourselves to stop her from capturing gold? How does anyone know Syren will be in the battle royal?

I'm in it because there's nothing more I want than to not only win the SCW title but to compete to win the SCW title again. I've not wrestled on a PPV event since September and to be honest, that has bothered me a lot, but I use my frustrations out on my opponents in the ring because complaining about certain things gets you nowhere.

I believe in balance, and that's why I see advantages and disadvantages in Kellen's decision to put the SCW title on the line in a battle royal match. We all have earned shots for titles, no matter what title it is and I respect wrestling and the business-like anything, but none of you will see the positives as I do.

I know I've not spoken about what an individual wrestler has done to me lately, but I hope Gavin Taylor will enter this match because I want my revenge on him after everything he's done, not to myself, but to Asher as well. Cheating his way to winning the Adrenaline title isn't considered to be a champion. I will get my hands on Gavin first chance I get to teach him a thing or two about the respect he lacks in the sport, possibly a match for his Adrenaline title will be down the road sooner than later because he's the most undeserving champion in SCW right now.

Nor is a champion, despite their talent in the ring to work to win the SCW title who exploited Kelcey's baby and pretending to be the mother to Kelcey's son either. What right does Sienna have, naming Kelcey's baby without her consent? That's disgusting and wrong. That's one of the reasons why I do not support Sienna as champion. I won't deny her in-ring talent, that's not in question for debate whatsoever as Sienna's in-ring ability is why she's champion, it's the way she got there to exploit Kelcey's baby and her health I have a problem with.

Point is I will stop these undeserving wrestlers of Syren and Gavin should they enter and sick wrestlers like Sienna from getting anywhere near the SCW title again. Things did need a change around here and who knows will compete in the match. You will know one thing; I will be in the match to use my frustrations out on lack of PPV matches I've had since September and will attempt to throw out anyone I can in the match to win the SCW title.

I know when I win the match, I would have earned the title win, the way I would love in a battle royal situation, upsetting and overcoming the odds against me. Everyone in the match will look back and say, damn Konrad took advantage of something he wouldn't do in two thousand and seventeen and win the SCW title. I will be the last person standing, and nobody can stop how much I've been craving for another opportunity like this and will take advantage of it.

All of you will prepare to be Iceinated by The Iced Rainbow because I want to be the top wrestler in this company and will make an impact, showing everyone I have what it takes to get there with all the hard work I've done this year to get where I am now. Never been happier and confident to believe I can and will win the battle royal and be the SCW champion. See you all tomorrow night and may the top wrestler win."

So Much More Than Just a Championship Belt…

Hello, Hello, Hello!

I am so excited and before you say what you are thinking, yes, there are sometimes that I am not excited, though I have a confession to make and say that it does not happen very often that I am not excited. Honestly most of the time most of you can probably hear me smiling anytime that you hear my voice, but considering that 1) It is me that we are talking about here and 2) It is the holiday season, which everyone knows that I adore, so did all of you expect me not to be excited? Seriously though, how could anyone not be excited right now? I mean, we just unwrapped all our Christmas gifts this week (I sincerely hope you got everything that was on your Christmas wish list) which now means that everyone is primed and ready, pointing toward the new year.

The new year is such a hopeful time of the year, because no matter what you have done during the past good or bad, at the new year the slate gets wiped clean and everybody gets to start fresh. This culminates with New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. New Year’s Eve is of course the last day of the previous year technically, and because of that it is a time for looking back at everything we had set out to do the previous year and whether or not we achieved those goal that we set out for ourselves. It also is the time for New Year’s Eve parties and who could forget watching the ball drop, in Times Square, in New York City.

I can remember watching so many movies when I was a little girl about waiting for the ball to drop and kissing my prince charming at Midnight. That was in my mind how I would the previous year and at the same time, I would ring in the new year with my prince charming also. Of course, now I have married my prince charming in the form of my husband Victor Mason, but that is another story for another time. As I was saying before I accidentally rabbit trailed myself, after New Year’s Eve is New Year’s Day and the hopes and dreams for the next twelve months start with that day. No, I don't mean all the college football games that are on television that day either, even though you can be certain that my Daddy would always have my cheering for the University of Miami in Florida.

What I mean is people always turn to hope in the new year with new horizons to pursue, and new goals to achieve, and believe me when I tell you I am receiving all sorts of opportunities coming up in wrestling and even more importantly in life. In Global Champion Wrestling, I have the third chance in a year to become a Champion when I face the GCW International Champion Dustin Adams at the GCW End of Year Bash this Sunday. If you are thinking to yourself that this match sound a little like Déjà vu, that is because this is the second time in my GCW career that I have challenged for the International Championship. The first time was in May as part of Resurrection VII when I took on the International Champion at that time Krissy Sweetheart. That of course did not work out so well for me, as I was not even five months into my professional wrestling career and I admit that I still had a lot to learn, especially as mat technician in the ring Krissy knew all of this, and she capitalized on my inexperience to win the match and keep the Championship. Fast forward to now and I have been a professional wrestler now for just over a year and I really think with everything I have experienced in the last year that I am better equipped to challenge Dustin for his championship.

Normally, that would be enough for any professional wrestler to think about, challenging for one championship, but this is my life and so it can be described as a lot of things, but normal is not one of them. As all of you watching this on promo TV are probably aware of already, I wrestle for not just one but for two major promotions, so that means besides getting prepared for my match with Dustin I also have to spend a lot of time weighing out my options carefully. That is because in Supreme Championship Wrestling these days everyone is talking about the opportunity to become the SCW World Champion at the End of the Year Battle Royal on New Year’s Eve night. It was given to everyone in wrestling by Kellen Jeffries who did so through his Trios Tournament Contract. All you need to do is enter the battle royal and you have the chance to win the title. Again, when I was a little girl I used to constantly fantasize about New Year’s Eve night and what that might like, but never in my wildest dreams did I think that I might be able to make another one of my dreams become a reality and win the SCW World Championship on New Year’s Eve night.

So, will I enter and receive a shot at the SCW World Championship?

Everybody will find out soon enough because it is a lot to consider, but for now, I need to go talk to someone about something much more pressing, something Victor was correct in telling me recently that I had been putting off...

4pm

It is the day after Christmas, or Boxing Day as it is commonly in Canada and European countries that are part of the British empire. Although not as big in the United States, shoppers still come out to the stores to see what sales there are, some people even are looking to get a head start on next Christmas already.

Kelsai Adamson-Mason used to be one of those shoppers, because Kelsai always wants to make the Christmas holiday a memorable occasion and up until recently Kelsai always had they day to rest and relax. Kelsai’s life has changed however in the last year, as she became a star in the world sports, first as pro bowl wide receiver for the Buffalo Blizzard of the Lingerie Football League, followed by an emerging superstar in the world of professional, where she wrestles for both Global Championship Wrestling and Supreme Championship Wrestling.

All at once, everyone who pays any attention to these two sports knew who Kelsai was, and her personal life was getting considerable attention also because in January of 2018 she married Victor Mason, an ex-professional wrestler and business mogul right after their first date. Obviously, this was questioned by many people, but Victor and Kelsai’s marriage has never been anything but strong, and Kelsai’s charmed life continued. Sure, there were injuries that could happen to any athlete, especially one that continually spreads herself soon thin as Kelsai does, an addiction to caffeine, and one incident where she was attacked in the early morning hours in New York City’s Central Park, for which the perpetrator is still at-large to this day. Overall though, Kelsai was living a great life, until earlier this year on July 13th, when Kelsai’s is shocked to learn from her parents Ex-Champion professional wrestler Dwayne Adamson and his wife Karen that they had actually adopted her when she was a baby.

Kelsai still loves her parents very much, but to say the least she has been confused and hurt since that day. Even more confusion would follow as the next night Kelsai would find out that her biological mother was the best friend of Kelsai’s mentor and manager Amy Chastaine and that she was dead, though Amy had never said anything because she was barred from doing so by a non-disclosure agreement.  

That is where Kelsai is at today too, with her husband Victor by her side, coming to meet her mother Kay McDaniel for the first time, a little over five months since she had first found out about her for the first time. Have parked their car as close as they could to the cemetery gates, which was nearly a block away, Victor and Kelsai walk toward Kay’s gravesite, though saying very little a long the way.

When they finally arrive at the gravesite, Kelsai looks toward Victor unsure of what to say or do next, she looks at the grave.

Kelsai: Well, here we are baby…

Reflective, Victor gives a soft sigh, feeling the gravity of the moment for his wife, as this is the first time that she has met her biological Mother for the first time.

Victor: Yes, he we are.

Normally taking her cues from Victor in times of trouble, Kelsai looks even more confused when Victor is giving her no cues to go off of for the first time

Kelsai: I am not really sure what to do or say here. I mean she is my Mom, but it is not like I have ever really known her. I always seem to know what to say, and so I am really confused her because here is this person who gave me the gift of life, and I don’t really know what to do here at all.

Noticing his wife discomfort and confusion, Victor tries to put everything in perspective for her in this emotional time.

Victor: I know you say that you don’t know Kay, but when you think about you really do. You were in her womb for nine months before she gave you up to a wonderful couple that you have known as your Mom and Dad. Kelsai, I know this is hard, and I am going to be right here if you need me just like I always am, but this is your opportunity to meet your Mom, so I am going to stand back here, out of your way.

Taking Victor’s hands in hers, all Kelsai can do is nod before she turns around and walks right up to the grave slowly, taking it all in as she walks to the headstone reading right next to Kay’s father who is there on the left…

Kay Frances McDaniel
April 4th, 1976 – July 29th 2005

Looking closer, there is a metal oval about four inches tall. Kelsai slowly reaches out and touches the oval, after which she is face-to-face with her Mom for the first time as she begins in a low voice

Kelsai: Hi Mom...I mean Kay. The truth is I am not really sure what I am supposed to call you at this point, and I happen to believe that maybe that is alright too. I mean, yes it’s true, that I am your daughter and you did bring me into this world, but after that, who really knows how long I was with you before made the decision to place me up for adoption. An hour? A day? A week? A month? I suppose that I could ask my Daddy and my Momma and see what they have to say about the issue and maybe I will do that at some point too.

That is the first thing that I want you to be aware of too, the people that ended up adopting me, my Daddy and my Momma have given me such a great life. Their names are Dwayne and Karen Adamson and it is because of them I have never wanted for anything a day in my life as far as I can remember. I am not talking mostly meaningless things that can be bought with a dollar either. Yes, money is important for food, shelter, clothing, the essentials as it were, but things really matter in this world, faith, hope, and love, growing these were always present in the Adamson home in abundance. They are good people who did their very best to ensure that they raised me to be a good person as well, and I like to think that they did a pretty good job there too. They even named me Love, though everybody calls me by my middle name of Kelsai, because they me to represent that out of the three I mentioned earlier, faith, hope. and love, that the greatest of all of them is Love.

So they are good people that have great parents to me, and I wanted to be certain that I told you that, because Jaina told me that you would probably really like to hear that and since that is true I figured why not? By Jaina I mean Jaina Lancaster by the way, someone that I have been told by sources that would know meant a great deal to you while you were alive. Jaina is a beatiful person inside and out, and she has become one of my very best friends, like a sister to me, and I would be lost without her in my life sometimes. The same can be said for Jaina’s Mom and your best friend in all the world Amy Chastaine, who is my mentor, one of my managers, and someone who has helped me out of some dark situations. You actually asked Amy to look after me in case anything ever happened to you, and I have to say that by my way of thinking she has and continues to do a pretty spectacular job by all accounts. I have to say also that just looking at your picture that Amy was right when she told me multiple times that you were absolutely beautiful.

By manager I mean that Amy comes out to the ring with me for most of my matches in Supreme Championship Wrestling, one of the two major professional wrestling promotions that I wrestle for currently. That is right I am a wrestler just like Amy was, though I am not as good as she was yet, though I would like to get there some day. Amy does not like it when I say that because she says that I should be trying to better that she ever was. I guess Amy never experienced what it was like to be trained everyday by one of your heroes like I am with her. If she had, maybe she would understand when I say that I have a really difficult time even imagining a scenario where I am a better wrestler that her. I have the same probably with my Daddy because he is also a retired wrestler with multiple world championships to his credit, just like Amy. I guess you could say that I have a lot to live up to in the world of professional wrestling. All I can say to you and everyone else is I going to keep trying my very best, but I still don't ever foresee a scenario in which I am better than either one of those two, two of the best wrestlers that I or the rest of the world for that matter has ever saw.

Amy is more than just a hero and mentor to me. I also turn to her we I need advice, just like I did last weekend in her office...

BlackOut Academy
Amy Chastaine's office
Saturday, December 21, 2019
9am


Standing right outside the door to the office of Amy Chastaine, Kelsai Adamson-Mason takes several deep breaths before rapping on the door. It only takes a second before a familar voice is calling to her from the other side of the door.

Voice: It's open Kelsai, come on in sweetie.

Immediately Kelsai freaks hearing her own name, despite the that she knows that it is her manager and mentor Amy Chastaine on the other end of this conversation as she opens the door to Amy's office and walks inside.

Kelsai: Why does it freak me out so much everytime that answer me without seeing me on the other side of the door?

Offering only a slight smirk of satisfaction to her young charge, Amy doesn't even look up from her paperwork.

Amy: Kelsai, I can usually hear you on the other side of the door breathing before you ever even knock, okay?

Kelsai sits down along the same side as Amy's desk and sighs, which immediately catches Amy's attention, as she reaches out and shuts and locks the door.

Amy: Okay sweetie, tell me what is going on?

Trying to look calm and doing a terrible job of it, Kelsai offers a nervous little laugh.

Kelsai: Why does there have to be anything up? Can't I just be in the area and come visit me friend at her office?

Slowly assesing damage control, Amy just looks at Kelsai and starts to shake her head with a smile.

Amy: Yes, it is perfectly fine for to stop by the gym here when I am working just to say hello anytime, but I can see  through you Kelsai You and your Mother are alike in so many ways, you know. Sometimes it is just like I have my best friend back. Have I ever told that before?

Actually calming down now, Kelsai starts to smile and laugh thinking about what Amy has said.

Kelsai: Only about a dozen times or so. Seriously though, can we talk about her, just you and I for a little bit?

With genuine smile, Amy puts an arm around Kelsai who leans into her.

Amy: I always love to discuss my best friend, every opportunity I have, but especially with her daughter. What would you like to know about your Mom sweetie, how can I help?

After studying Amy's face for a few moments, Kelsai says something that completely catches Amy off guard.

Kelsai: Well, Victor and I have been discussing recently the possibility of starting a family and...

Just the idea of Kelsai and Victor possibly having a baby has Amy interrupting Kelsai without even realizing it.

Amy: Wait, what?

The thought of what she was starting to talk about causes Kelsai to start to beam from the inside out, despite the fact that she knows that thought of she and Victor starting a family comes as a shock to Amy.

Kelsai: Victor and I have discussed it recently and we think that it is time for the two of us to start a family.

Starting to contemplate everything involved, Amy chides softly wanting to make certain that Kelsai and Victor have thought of all of the details that having a baby would change, while still wanting to be positive, supportive, and upbeat at the idea.

Amy: Sweetie, you have so much love to give, so much more than most people could ever even imagine much less give, and though I had reservations in the beginning when I heard about you and Victor getting married, he has proven to be just as great of a husband to you as you are a wife for him.

Kelsai nods with a big smile.

Kelsai: I know that you had reservations Amy, and part of that was personal experience because of what happened between you and the Mason family and specifically Blake and what happened with Victor and your friend Kara, but Victor has grown up a lot since then.

Amy laughs, knowing exactly what Kelsai means.

Amy: Yes, I admit I misjudged your marriage in the beginning for the reasons that you have mentioned plus the fact that your marriage, but to say that Victor has won me over as your husband is an understatement. I think that you and Victor are perfect together and if the two of you want to go ahead and start trying to have a baby I think that is a wonderful idea and the two of you will be amazing parents whenever that happens. But you do know that once you are pregnant, wrestling will not be an option for you for at least a year, right? Now, I am not saying that this should stop you from trying to start having a family if that is what the two of you want. I just want to be sure that the two of you have thought about everything.

With her trademark smile growing even wider as she is looking more like herself all of the time, Kelsai talks to Amy more confidently about the plans that she and Victor are making.

Kelsai: Yes we know that once I get pregnant I won’t be able to wrestle for at least a year, but right now we were not talking about me getting pregnant, because I have so much I want to accomplish in my wrestling career, which is just starting to really take off with the title match I am in for the GCW International Championship at the End of Year Bash, which is of all places right here in New Orleans!

Amy smiles like a proud Mother.

Amy: You certainly have a lot of things going for you heading into that match, though Dustin Adams should not be taken lightly.

At the thought of mentioning Dustin Adams being taken lightly, Kelsai emphatically shakes her head no.

Kelsai: I have already been there, done that, and got the t-shirt alright? That what I did with Krissy Sweetheart the first time that I received a chance at the International Championship, and I will not make the same mistake twice. I know how good Dustin is and I will need to be at my very best to defeat him. Besides that though there is the End of the Year Special in SCW also, where I have the opportunity to become the SCW World Champion if I decide to enter the battle royal.

Talking about the battle royal in SCW makes Amy laugh again just at the idea of the whole thing.

Amy: Thanks to one Kellen Jefferies, basically everyone in the entire World has the same opportunity if they enter the battle royal.

Looking at a nearby wall, Kelsai starts to think out loud.

Kelsai: The SCW World Championship, the title I used to dream about the most growing up. I always used to want to win that more than any other championship. But, I am only one year into my career as a professional wrestler, so am I ready for this challenge? Right now, I just don’t know. It is a lot to consider.

At this point Amy decides to offer her advice.

Amy: I won the SCW World Championship in less than a year. Granted, I was a veteran of several years in the ring already, where I have won multiple championships, including world championships. Competing for World Championships is not about how long that you have been wrestling, its about whether or not you can compete on that level no matter how long you have been doing it. Do you believe in yourself and are you ready to face the challenge of competing for a world championship, that is the question.

Kelsai contemplates all of this slowly then slowly starts to smile again.

Kelsai: Yes Amy, I believe in myself, and yes I believe that I am ready to compete for a world championship.

The proud Mama look is back written all over Amy’s face.

Amy: That is all that I needed to hear. I think that you should definitely enter the battle royal then.

Kelsai smiles right back at her.

Kelsai: Then that is exactly what I am going to do. I am going to enter the SCW End of the Year battle royal and I am going to challenge for the SCW World Championship!

Amy: And I can’t wait to watch you compete for that championship either. I am confused though because you were saying that you and Victor were considering starting a family but then you said that you were not going to get pregnant anytime soon because of your wrestling career taking off so well, so I don’t understand, do you care to explain?

The excitement is at a fever pitch even for Kelsai.

Kelsai: Well considering that it worked out so well for me, Victor and I are considering adopting a baby.

Now Amy’s excitement is actually on par with Kelsai’s for once.

Amy: I think that is an absolutely wonderful idea.

All at once without warning Kelsai’s apprehension is back sighing lowly and sinking down in her chair a little bit also, a fact that is not lost on Amy who questions what is going on.

Amy: Okay, what is going on here, because for somebody that just gave me news that should make her ecstatic, your certainly seem like something else is going on here.

Kelsai: Victor says and I agree that before we start going through the adoption process that I need to quit putting it off and I need to go see my Mom…I mean Kay…I mean, I don’t even know what I should call her Amy?

Amy puts an arm around Kelsai again.

Amy: Kelsai, sweetie, you are not required to call her anything besides what you are comfortable with. Just know that you Mom loves you very much just like you love everyone almost very much, and she would be happy with whatever you want to call her. When were you thinking about going to the cemetery, because I know that you have yet to do that, and yes if both you and Victor are in agreement that this is something you need to do before the two of you get started on the adoption process then it would probably be a good idea.

Once again, Kelsai is stunned by the first hand knowledge of her life that Amy always seems to have.

Kelsai: How do you know that I still haven’t been to see her at the cemetery without me telling you?

Amy: Due to people vandalizing some of the tombs, you can’t just go to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, which is where Kay’s tomb is located. You need a family pass, and if you can tell me when you are thinking about going, I can make a call and get one of the passes for you and Victor to go together.

The mood is much more somber now, as Kelsai starts getting a little choked up.

Kelsai: I believe that we would like to go next Friday, Amy.

Amy strokes Kelsai’s hair.

Amy: Alright I will make a call then later on, and I should have your pass for you sometime next week sweetie, and don’t worry, nobody ever is ready to go to the cemetery, no matter how many times that you have been there already. Also please remember, again you call her whatever you want, and just remember that you Mom loves you no matter what, I am sure of it.

Kelsai starts to softly break down in tears, crying as Amy holds her.

Kelsai: (sobs) Thank you, Amy.

Amy: You’re welcome, sweetie. Say, did you have anything for breakfast today before coming over here?

Kelsai: No, nothing at all.

Amy starts to have a grin form at the corners of her mouth.

Amy: Come on, I know a place that I have been wanting to take you to for quite sometime now, I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity and I think that this is it. I am treating you, and I am not taking no for an answer. As your manager, I know that it is not good for not to eat either, so we are going to get breakfast, alright?

Kelsai perks up again, cracking the smallest of grins.

Kelsai: Okay, okay, we can go to breakfast together and I will let you treat me if you must.

Amy: I do.

Kelsai and Amy, get up and leave the office, Amy turning off the lights and locking the door as the scene fades back to the cemetery.


St. Louis Cemetery No. 1
New Orleans, Louisiana
Friday, December 27, 2019
4:38 pm


Kelsai: …..and that is how Amy has been a help for me in so many ways. She is right about a lot of things to, for example when she told me several times before today just how beautiful you are..

Kelsai has a lump in a lump in her throat and pauses, but eventually continues, Victor watching behind her the entire time just in case she needs him.

Kelsai: …I mean were, because you were incredibly beautiful just like Amy tells me all of the time. Thank you for choosing Amy to watch over me in case something were ever to happen to you so that you could no longer watch over me from a far. Other than Victor who is my rock, Amy is just unbelievably important to me.

The other person I really want to talk to you about is of course Victor, who despite marrying him after knowing him for only two days has become my world. Victor is the smartest man I know, and the perfect calm to my fire for life with the boundless energy that I have. I used to think that no man was ever going to compare to my Daddy, but then I met Victor, and everything changed in my life. Suddenly, I had another man in my life that I could depend upon and rely on. So many times since we have known each other Victor has been there for the me no matter how bad things have become whether I was attacked in New York City’s Central Park and everything I endured to get through that, getting addicted to caffeine and trying to stay away from it afterward despite being it being a struggle every single day, or finding out that….

Kelsai breathes in heavily, trying not to crack and break up into tears as she tries to continue with what she was saying, with Victor coming really close to coming to get her, but still staying back for now.

Kelsai: ….finding out that you were adopted and that your biological Mother who you have never met is dead. I think that is that hardest part in all of this for me to, realizing that no matter how much I might want for it to happen you are never going to meet Victor or I either one. Amy was right though when she is always saying how perfect she thinks Victor is for me. He has been here through it all and he is going to be here for the end of time for me. Victor is my guy no matter what anybody has to say about how we started this life together, I am going to love him longer than long. I can’t really say that I am going to be here for the rest of his life because as you are a testament to nobody can say for sure when there time is up on this earth, but I swear that I am going to love Victor for the rest of my days.

I just wish that he could meet you…

Kelsai’s voice starts to crack and tears begin to roll down her face, as Victor is alongside of her now, putting his arm around her shoulders as she leans her on his shoulder while still trying to finish her thoughts...

Kelsai: (crying now) ….I wish I could have met you, because even though there are a lot of things that I would like to talk to you about, one thing that I would want to be sure that you know immediately how much is unconditionally how much I…love…you….

Kelsai starts to sob now, burying herself in Victor’s shoulder…

Victor: Believe me baby, I think that she already knows, how much you love her.

In between sobs, Kelsai tells Victor…

Kelsai: I didn’t want to you to see me like this, so vulnerable and weak because I don’t ever want you to think that you always need to be the strong one in our marriage all the time, because I can be strong for you too, okay?

Victor shakes his head no and allows Kelsai to cry on his shoulder again.

Victor: Kelsai, we are here for each other always and forever okay? That is what being married to each other means. And strong? Kelsai I have never saw you look so strong as you do right now.

As the scene fades with Kelsai sobbing into Victor’s shoulder now while even he has tears rolling down his cheeks we are reminded that sometimes even the strongest people, like wrestlers need a shoulder that they can cry on.


So, what are you doing for New Year's Eve?

I think many of you are probably going to do the status quo, which means you will be at home for New Year's Eve waiting patiently for that big ball to drop in New York City as you watch hopefully with your friends and family, getting ready to let one year go reflectively while at the same time wondering what the new year might have in store for you. I say that I think that will be what New Year's Eve will be like for the majority of you not because I am making fun of you either. I would never, ever do that because it is you, the wrestling fans who really make professional wrestling possible. You come here to be entertained and without you doing that none of what we do as professional wrestlers would ever exist, so I just want to take this opportunity to be certain that I say thank you for being the best part of Supreme Championship Wrestling, I love all of you so very much, and never in my wildest dreams would I ever make fun of any of you. Rather, I say that is probably what the majority of you will be doing on New Year's Eve because I used to be just like you and I know that is what I was doing growing up on New Year's Eve-unless my Daddy had to wrestle somewhere, in which case I would be there watching him.

New Year's Eve is a time to dream however, and dream big to because with a brand new year standing right in front of you anything is possible, or at least it really seems that way. So, just imagine for a second that you are going to have the chance, just one opportunity to make one of the biggest dreams that you have come true, how would that feel? At first you might be in shock or disbelief, saying to yourself or your closest friends that this can't really be happening to you. Once the shock and disbelief was over though, you would then do everything in your power to make certain that you did everything that you could to make your dream, your one opportunity, because after all you might not ever receive another one for the rest of your life so you are going to do everything humanly possible to make those dreams of yours come true, right?

This New Year's Eve I have been given the opportunity along with anybody else in wrestling to go after my dream because the annual SCW End of the Year Battle Royal is offering to the winner not just $250,000 and a new car but also the SCW World Championship. There are a lot of people who will tell you privately, and some not so privately that I should not receive this opportunity and while everyone is entitled to their opinions and will no doubt quiet vocal about them, I will respectfully agree to disagree. Yes, it was less than a week ago on Monday, December 23rd that I celebrated my one year anniversary as a professional wrestler, but despite that not being a lot of time in the industry a very good friend and role model mine told me not too long ago that it not about how long you have been a professional wrestling, but whether or not you believe in yourself that should say whether or not you should compete for the world championship. Thank you Amy, I do believe in myself, so because of that, and a man that I have never actually met before in Kellen Jefferies who used his Trios Tournament Contract to make this an open opportunity for everyone, I have decided to enter the battle royal.

Thinking about the year that I have had too, why shouldn't I believe in myself? I mean after all, just look at all of the adversity a have had to go through. I was attacked by a still unknown assailant in New York City's Central Park while I was jogging, and the person or persons responsible for this assault, because that is what it was is an assault, they still have yet to be brought to justice. In June, it was found out that I was addicted to caffeine, a flareup from a caffeine addiction the previous year that landed me in the hospital, more importantly caused a lot of very important people to me to wonder whether or not that I could actually be trusted again. Then finally in July I was the one who was second guessing some of those very important people when I was told by my parents that I had actually been adopted, followed by finding not long after that my biological mom that I have never met I am never going to meet either because she had already passed away several years earlier.

So, I have came back from all of that, and what have many people in the industry have said about me? They have said that I have had it too easy, that the things that have happened to me should have caused people numerous problems in the ring rather than having their star on the rise in SCW and they want to know why I am bright and cheery all of the time, being so energetic with a heartwarming smile and almost never gets upset with anyone? That is not me talking like that people is what one writer actually said about me word for word and all I can do is shake head at just how ignorant this person along with several others is about my life right now. I wonder if those people would sleep better every night knowing that the next morning I am going to struggle to not have a morning cup of coffee because I know that putting caffeine into my body again could very well be deadly because I am not able to control my urges. I wonder if the same people would walk around with smiles during the morning or afternoon knowing that my husband Victor had to hold me the night before when I woke up crying about someone trying to assault me again or worse while jogging in the park. Maybe it please them to know that I was just brought to tears in my husband's arms again this weekend because I was going to meet my Mother for the first time, knowing that I will never get to hug her and kiss her or tell her that I love her.

Would that make them feeling better?

I can't tell you what would make them feel better and I have to tell you honestly that for the first time I really don't care would make them feel better either, because I really don't care anymore how they feel or what they think about me because they really don't know me. I have scars from life just like everyone else, the only difference is rather than dwelling on them like so many people do, I am going to keep on putting the very brightest of smiles on my face, an energetic spring on my step, and I am going to be sure that even if you happen to see me out on what might be my worst day you are going to look at me and think it is my best because is what pay your hard earned money to see when you come to an SCW event, no matter how I might I actually be thinking or feeling in reality. Because I have said once already and I will say it again, the most important part of SCW is all of you, the fans, not the writers or the critics who even have the audacity to question whether or not I have gone through every thing that I have in the last year just because people always see me with a smile on my face.

I do this for the fans, for the people more than anything else, my people.

And on New Year's Eve night?

I might just make one of my biggest dreams come true and win the SCW World Championship in the End of the Year Open Invitational Battle Royal.

I already know that I trust in myself and I do deserve this opportunity, time to go out there and make all of you trust me too and go out there give it everything I have to win that championship and become your new SCW World Champion on New Year's Eve night. So that is exactly what I am going to do, do my darnedest to become your new SCW World Champion.

Most importantly though, I am going smile my best smile and make sure that everyone remembers win or lose that Kelsai loves all of you!
