Konrad and his temporary new Kaulig Racing team member friend from Australia Will Brown hanging out and the good old days of the Chris Cannon and Konrad rivalry commences.

Welcome, North Carolina. Tuesday 1st June (Offline)

We all finished up the team meeting we have either on Tuesdays or Wednesdays and the team decided Tuesday was a perfect day as they had a lot of cars to take, especially one special guest we had on our team just for this weekend. A guy that the team wanted me to hang around with just for today as the other Xfinity Series drivers of Daniel, Josh and Christian were going to spend time with the guy tomorrow. 

Because I couldn't due to meeting a potential new The European Fiery Nation member Dakon and Ludvig wanted me to see, I had today with him instead and decided since he was a special guest, to take him downtown of Charlotte, North Carolina. The special guest was a guy from Toowoomba, Australia who drives in the same series that Shane Van Gisbergen came from with Australia Supercars and he was the guy I was setting the car up for in Mexico that caused me nothing, but hell, Will Brown.

He seemed very mellow and a pretty good guy to be honest and I for one am glad he's apart of the team. Especially when he discovered in the team meeting today that I was the one who had been busy setting up his car for Chicago in Mexico. I did get along with Shane Van Gisbergen last year and I was already connecting with Will. We left the shop and I said this to him as we were walking to my car.

Konrad Raab: “How do you fancy playing some bowling?”

Will Brown: “Sure thing. I like a good game of bowling.”

Of course, we only discussed about racing so I hadn't had the opportunity to have wrestling discussions thrown in. In fact, it was very rare the team spoke about my wrestling career, apart from the Mexico race. But saying that, he did notice something about the wrestling stuff he saw around the shop and although he didn't know who it is as we got in the car and got our belts on for me to start the car up and drive, he did have a question to ask.

Will Brown: “Being that I'm from Australia and new for this one off team and seen some stuff that isn't racing related in the shop, who's the professional wrestler in the team?”

Konrad Raab: “I am.”

Will Brown: “What? No way. You look so different with all that gear on.”

Konrad Raab: “Because my friend, it's part of who I am so don't be surprised when you see fans today, that they'll be talking about wrestling with me.”

Will Brown: “I never thought I'd see the day where I'm hanging out with someone who's doing two sports at once. Does that stress you out at all?”

It was a very valid question and I do like the guy's Aussie voice, more so than I liked Shane's to be honest and he had a comedy touch to him as well. I really feel like I can be open to the dude, especially as he knows about me helping him with the car and I know I may have fucked up the car settings as I didn't know if it would be comfortable for him to drive. I can only find out on Saturday as I responded to his question.

Konrad Raab: “It can be stressful, especially when I had to tell Chris earlier today that I have to swap my Cup Series duties from Indianapolis to Iowa.”

Will Brown: “Ah, why's that exactly?”

Konrad Raab: “In one of the wrestling companies I wrestle on, Supreme Championship Wrestling have this well they call it their biggest show of the year, but it's really just a regular big show for me, Rise To Greatness and unfortunately, I discovered the Indianapolis race clashes with that and I have to be at Rise To Greatness big show, well they call them Pay Per Views. I don't know what I'm going to do if I'm scheduled to wrestle on that Saturday. I'll be pissed.”

Will Brown: “Ah yeah because of the Xfinity Series race on Saturday.”

He already got the idea, although today was going to be fun just to have one game as I did have to fly to Atlanta to meet with a student only to fly back and forth with Los Angeles California, which I wish the location was next week which would've been perfect and then fly back to Chicago immediately after. Of course, the time was now to spend with Will Brown and because he was part of the team, I really wanted him to experience wrestling like all the other Kaulig Racing team had this year. But I guess we'll see.

As we spoke for a bit, we reached to the bowling alley in Charlotte, North Carolina known as Bowlero Charlotte where I booked even if it was the last minute as I didn't know I had to spend time with him until Chris told me to a VIP spot for me and Will to play in. As we checked in at the desk along with having some food although I was left with little choice with just going for fries. Will chose a Cheeseburger and chips.

As we got into our own private VIP area, Will hadn't really seen a bowling alley before and was amazed at how special this place was and I nodded, seeing how happy he was to hang out with me and I said this.

Konrad Raab: “Yeah man, this is our time together.”

Will Brown: “Bro, it's pretty sweet. Lets play one game and get to know each other more.”

Konrad Raab: “You got it pal.”

It was the first time I interacted with a driver aboard that I immediately bounded with. It took me a bit of time to get used to Shane, but me and Will connected instantly. So I know we couldn't keep quiet and I know Chris would be upset with me if he found this out and so I decided to get into the discussion as I set the game up for me and Will, seeing Will's the guest for America, he goes first.

Konrad Raab: “So, did Shane inspire you to do the NASCAR route last year?”

Will Brown: “Partly yeah and because I wanted to do something new. You done any other racing series beyond NASCAR?”

Konrad Raab: “Actually I have. I've done IMSA, Pro Late Models both dirt and tarmac racing, UMP Modifieds racing and back in May, I did Indy five hundred. I done some ARCA Menards Series, heck doing an ARCA Menards Series race in Sonoma next week.”

Will Brown: “Damn bro, that's fire. All that despite being a professional wrestler as well? How do you fit it all in?”

I liked how interested he was in me and especially wrestling, although I haven't thought that much about it today until just now when Will rightfully so asked me questions about it and I know I got a match against Chris Cannon on Thursday.

Konrad Raab: “Wrestling I do on a weekdays and some weekends, although that will be a thing of the past next year as I'm retiring from wrestling in Supreme Championship Wrestling to do Cup Series full time run next year.”

Will Brown: “Na, I think I just stick to driving Australia Supercars and the one off NASCAR race thanks. Speaking of saying thanks, I do owe you for the car setup. Chris told me privately even before it came out in the meeting that you helped me set the car up for me for Chicago at Mexico.”

Konrad Raab: “I'm concerned about that to be honest as I'm not entirely sure if I fucked up the setting so if your car is shit and stuff, blame it on me and I take responsibility for my mistakes. Chris said if I failed badly, I will take Engineering and Car Setup course at college.”

That was what I was nervous about on Will might want to hate my fucking guts if he drove terribly and it was all down to that fucking punishment. I know I need to get over it and it was difficult admittedly for me to do, but Will was a good dude and I already feel guilty. Will did say this to me as a pat on my shoulder.

Will Brown: “It's alright buddy, we'll get the car right for me with the team at least if things go wrong. I won't ever hate you, trust me. You did what you can and that's the main thing.”

Konrad Raab: “Truthfully, it was stressful, but it was part of my punishment. You see what happened early January was this big wrestler, Xander Valentine came to the shop and set the car on fire. While I set him on fire. Because of it, the punishment was for me to drive a Cup Series car at Mexico City, but at the last minute, they forced me to set the car up for you.”

The food came as although Will saw me as this big dude, he did wonder why I had small amount of fries, despite me not really wanting to eat them, but I have no choice as it was the only thing I could eat here and we took a few bites of our food and drinks which we got fosters as alcohol drinks as I hadn't drank alcohol for quite sometime. But it's an Aussie thing. As far as the score was concerned, I was a bit ahead with twenty five points while Will had fifteen points.

Will Brown: “No way, you sell Aussie beer here and you ordered it?”

Konrad Raab: “Yes I did because you deserve it after the stuff you've done in Australian Supercars.”

Will Brown: “I broke records there. But I've also done some GT car racing and some TCR racing too which are like touring car racing.”

Konrad Raab: “Shit, GT racing exists in IMSA. I've never done GT or Touring Cars racing. Might be an series to explore. Not this year though as the last time I get a break from racing NASCAR Xfinity is in September where I race NASCAR Euro Series in Germany to do my bit to promote NASCAR like you are with Australia so we have that in common this year.”

Which was true that me and Will had that same similarities going on in regards to that, even to grow the sport, especially how big of a deal this whole NASCAR Euro Series in Germany will be. We talked and thrown balls, even poked fun out of each other when we missed. But I was enjoying myself with Will. Honestly, more I think about it, more I should invite him to watch my match with Chris Cannon on Thursday. We finished the game with me taking the win, but Will was only five behind which wasn't bad. I pulled tickets and a VIP pass out of my pocket to hand to Will.

Konrad Raab: “I don't think it would be fair if I left you out from seeing me wrestle as all the other team members saw me wrestle in Germany. So I say you meet me in LAX airport on Thursday after spending time with Christian, Daniel and Josh that you come and see me wrestle. So we can talk more.”

Will Brown: “Woah, seriously?”

I nodded, showing I was serious and it was my last ever year to wrestle and I doubt Will will be apart of NASCAR next year and if he was, it'll be with a different team.

Will Brown: “Bro, thank you. I'll be there to watch you wrestle, whoever the guy you're wrestling against.”

Konrad Raab: “Chris Cannon and I'm not entirely sure why, unless Chris wanted me to wrestle him on my retirement tour I call it which is why I'm inviting you to watch me wrestle. Come down to LAX airport on Thursday after meeting with the guys and I get you to meet the team I'm working with in wrestling too. Anyway, I got to go to Atlanta and see what my wrestling team want. See you Thursday bro.”

We shook hands and even exchanged numbers, mostly for Thursday, but also I got the sense of connection with the guy and we talked a lot, mostly about racing, but thrown in comments about wrestling too. We went our separate ways as Will did have to come back to the headquarters and hang around with Christian, Josh and Daniel tomorrow, while I had to fly to Atlanta to rest in my holiday home which is more my second home to sleep in.

Good old days of rivalry commence huh Chris blog (Online)

“Exactly as the title states and I get why you may wanted to face me, seeing I'm on my way out of the door in Supreme Championship Wrestling at the end of this year and I think I've spoken enough about my career in the future about that, even with my special guest that's going to come and watch me wrestle for the first and possibly the last time in my racing team mate for the Chicago NASCAR race this weekend Will Brown who will be watching me wrestle against you from the VIP seat area.

Funny thing is you think I should still be mad at you for the way you treated my fuck buddy in the past huh? To be honest, what you did was horrible and disgusting, but it was nowhere near the top chain of things you've done, compared to what The Project and especially The Connection have done to me on wanting to beat the living shit out of them. It's just a co instance really that since I announced I'm retiring from wrestling, everyone suddenly wants to face me including you.

Granted my last match with Veil, that was my own decision to want a rematch with him because of what he did to my niece, but this is a different story as I don't see that it was me who wants to face you, it's clearly down to you and that does mean a lot to me Chris that you want that one more match with me.

But saying that, it hurts to say that part of me is very angry of what you did to Minerva because she meant everything to me and she was the only reason why I was apart of The Jackals since I refuse to acknowledge Kandis and Tommy exist to me in my world since they refuse to acknowledge I was part of their fucking team. I know you're coming back to relive the glory but to be honest, you aren't consistent with that. You'll fuck off again and then return again. When I'm leaving SCW, I'm leaving for good, not returning ever again because even if I leave NASCAR, I still be doing racing in some form of capacity. Some series I've actually done over the past few years that I'm more than just a NASCAR driver.

But at least you acknowledge me for once that I'm a worthy opponent to face and I can't wait to get out there and beat the holy living shit out of you and it's not necessary personal whatsoever as much as I claimed in the beginning I was, but a lot has changed since you last saw me that I became because of Tommy and Kandis that I'm all about causing burns to people, especially to people like Kandis, Tommy and the entire Project team. I got all burns all over me because of what I tried to do and it made me better for it.

Made me become what a lot of people say I am and I won't say it, but you get what I mean and for that, I know what you can do in the ring and I want to forget the fact you associated with yourself with that stupid bitch Amelia who should be better off teaming with her tag partner. Anyway the point is I know you want to be involved in facing me because I'm hitting the roads as the saying goes in my context because NASCAR staff and Kaulig Racing team want me to be a full time NASCAR Cup Series driver full time and I can't be a wrestler here full time when the races are on Sundays.

But until then, I'm more than focused on wrestling you and beating the hell out of you along with getting The European Fiery Nation team more well known which they are growing by the minute La Pequena Luz you stupid fuck. To answer your question, we got plenty of wrestlers that can take Dakon or Ludvig's place as tag wrestlers only if they were to get injured. Heck there's three wrestlers outside of SCW that are representing the team and the school as we speak in other companies and one of them is champion. There's going to be plenty more wrestlers that are going to be under mine and my twin brother's wings too in other companies. Shows how much you know about my team, my wrestlers and the wrestlers we're currently discovering and training every single week.

Getting back to you Chris, I know that would seem impossible for you to imagine I'm building the future of wrestling talent which I would be laughing at myself if I said that last time around, but it's true. We know about your accomplishments Chris and I'd be stupid if I say you weren't a threat and pose no challenge to me because you do.

But I don't want this soft ass Chris Cannon to face me, no, I want the brutal, violent maniac Chris to come out and if it means I trigger something in you to get you to make me bleed, make me suffer, make me be in pain, I will because I don't want these soft fucking fights, I don't want non violent fights. I want a psychopath Chris Cannon that will unload Cannons onto me.

Even if it means I have to touch your girlfriend to get you to unload your violence onto me, I will because that's the fight I want. I want that and it makes me happy when I trigger something into you, especially I'm sure my special guest who will be watching from the VIP box because he's racing for my team this weekend Will Brown will enjoy seeing us violent maniacs wrestle to beat the holy daylights out of each other.

But unfortunately for you, considering you're only here to face me and I admire that because you want to. Only one of us can win this match and that man will be me because I'm desired and passionate to face anyone in my retirement year and known for my violence that I will unleash upon you Chris. All I will say is good luck because you will need it when you face The Burned In Blood Konrad Raab in Los Angeles, California.”
