Offer to do racing in a one-off race in NASCAR Euro Series as an American European NASCAR driver in his home race in Germany, schedule possible conflicts between a wrestling PPV and a race in Germany and write about an egotistical, boring bitch Glory.

Austin, Texas. Friday 28th February. (Offline)

I just got out of the car for the Xfinity Series qualifying, which I qualified fifth for tomorrow's race, which was a decent qualifying run I had, considering the road courses I suck on. This man was standing in my pit garage, looking like he ran a racing organisation, as it did have NASCAR logos on it, but not the one I had seen before. I walked back after talking to the team, who pointed me to the guy who wanted to speak to me, and I looked at him as I was drying myself with a towel due to the heat in Texas today.

Konrad Raab: "Can I help you, sir?"

NASCAR Euro Series Founder: "Man, you're on fire today, considering you're not good at road courses, but I think you've done alright today."

Konrad Raab: "Yeah, that's all fine and good, but what's your name and what do you want me for?"

NASCAR Euro Series Founder: "Oh, how rude of me. I'm Jerome Galpin, the founder of NASCAR Euro Series. While I came to watch Alon Day race in the Xfinity Series today, being a four-time NASCAR Euro Series champion in the Pro class, I also came down to see you as well, as I want you to race in the series."

Konrad Raab: "I'm already signed up to do Xfinity Series this year and doing Cup Series next year. I'm not leaving America or the NASCAR Series in America anytime soon."

It was clear as day he was taking a professional interest in me, but knowing that I was committed and signed up to do the Xfinity Series this year and the Cup Series next year, there was no possible way this guy was going to take me away. Still, he stood there and smiled, but maybe there was something more to this that I was jumping to conclusions on that I hadn't yet figured out.

Jerome Galpin: "God no, I'm not taking you out of this paddock to race in my series full time, that's not what I want you for. You see, we've been waiting and seeking a European talent that's made it to the big leagues of NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series for a very long time."

Konrad Raab: "And what's your point?"

Jerome Galpin: "I've been wanting you to race in my Pro series for a one-off race for the last few years, actually, but the schedule always got in the way of us talking and planning this idea I have. I happen to know that you've not got a race to do in the Xfinity Series on the twentieth and twenty-first of September, and it's in Germany on the Oschersleben track."

He was right; I didn't have a race planned for the NASCAR Xfinity Series on those dates. However, there was a slight problem that I had to discuss with him. As the team passed me a drink of water in a metal bottle, I used the straw to drink before responding.

Konrad Raab: "You're right, but the problem is I did arrange to do the IMSA Indianapolis race on that date."

Jerome Galpin: "Hear me out, Konrad. Official NASCAR guys have approved for me to talk about this deal with you. With you going to the Cup Series next year, this would be huge if you do this one NASCAR Euro Series race in your home country, nevertheless, in the Pro class. Think of the promotion you'll get from NASCAR if you do this."

Konrad Raab: "I have to talk to Michael Andretti first, though, to possibly call the whole thing off, but you're not wrong in anything you're saying whatsoever on how huge the promotion will be for both series if I took part in the NASCAR Euro Series, especially in my home race as well. Just give me a minute."

I gave him a minute as I did need to talk to Michael Andretti, and there was a hushed conversation going on with me and him on the phone. It was pretty lengthy, but he understood more of what I had been saying, along with Jerome telling me what he had planned. Ten minutes later, I put the phone down and spoke to him.

Konrad Raab: "OK, you got yourself a deal. I'll be there in mid-September, and I want to do some testing days there before I do the race."

Jerome Galpin: "That's fantastic. I promise you, Konrad, you will be the biggest star the NASCAR Euro Series has ever had in the Pro Class. You can bring your team crew chief with you to the race, as I don't expect you to rely on one you can't trust, and the team I set you up with will be Bremotion, and we can use the number sixteen to market Kaulig Racing and the success they've had with that number. They will provide you with the car and everything. All you have to bring is your helmet, your crew chief and your spotters."

He got so excited that he almost forgot about the request I had for him to sort out, which he covered with his left hand over his mouth. It seems like a good guy. Who knew what he was doing, and he responds.

Jerome Galpin: "Of course, I will get you some testing days sorted for you, and you have to do some simulator work as well for the Oschersleben track, which I was speaking to Kaulig Racing about doing that sort of thing for you, and they agreed on that, too. So you get plenty of experience both using our car in Germany and in the simulator as well."

Konrad Raab: "Then we have ourselves a deal."

Jerome Galpin: "Welcome to the NASCAR Euro Series in September, Konrad Raab. We're promoting this as the biggest European playoffs race the NASCAR world has ever seen, with the Xfinity/Cup Series driver racing on the Oschersleben, Germany track in the Pro class."

The cameras from both the official NASCAR Series and the NASCAR Euro Series were there while we shook hands, and I signed a contract that I had done on camera with pictures taken, and he placed a NASCAR Euro Series hat on my head. It got me excited for September. I know he must be aware of me being a wrestler. Still, even if I were to be booked on an SCW PPV on these dates, if it were to come up, I'm not wasting this opportunity to promote and make NASCAR bigger in Europe by using the NASCAR Euro Series to promote the series bigger as a European American NASCAR star. 

He went away with all happy and smiles, and I certainly was as well, couldn't wait to tell the team. However, the NASCAR internet from the American and European series websites and videos will be booming, as I went back to my motorhome after finishing racing for the day. I cooked myself dinner, then watched a bit of TV before going to bed.

Portland, Oregon. Monday 1st September. (Offline)

For the first time since we met, I stayed at my niece's house as I couldn't stay in my motorhome after Sunday anyway as it needed to go to Madison, Illinois for the final round of the playoffs for Xfinity Series as I thought it was Bristol, but was decided there next week instead and a lot was on my mind to go and win the Xfinity Regular Season Championship. Also, I discovered that Supreme Championship Wrestling booked me to wrestle against Glory Braddock. Not an opponent I was expecting to face in the final half of my SCW retirement tour, but hey, I was open to anything.

But if there's one thing Ginny had noticed, it was that I had been watching a lot of racing, a series that she recognised, being it was a NASCAR series, but not one she had heard of before, as I got up in the morning. She had a question to ask about it as she came in after I told her to come in, pausing the TV with the Oschersleben, Germany race from last year.

Ginny Raab: "Why do you keep watching this racing series, Konrad?"

Konrad Raab: "Because back in Austin, Texas, in February, I made a deal with Jerome Galpin, the founder of NASCAR Euro Series, to race in the one-off race in Oschersleben on the twentieth and twenty-first of September. Plus, I wanted to see my competition I'll be going against in the Pro class too."

Ginny Raab: "What? What happens if you're booked for Apocalypse PPV?"

Konrad Raab: "I made the deal long before SCW even arranged the calendar for this year. I'm still doing that race. Ginny, you have to understand that this opportunity is massive for NASCAR, both the American and Euro Series, the drivers for both series and me. They need a lot of promoting, and Jerome has been seeking out talent like me for a long time. I need to do that German NASCAR Euro Series Pro class race."

It was completely understandable that Ginny would be mad at that, but it would be annoying as fuck if I were booked to do the Apocalypse PPV. Still, I know both situations do come first, I'd rather put the NASCAR Euro Series first over wrestling a PPV that I find completely pointless, to be honest, unless I was going to face Tommy Valentine. Ginny sighs and responds to this.

Ginny Raab: "I understand and get it. So yeah, if Jerome Galpin came to you about the deal and you agreed before the SCW schedule for September came out, I understand that it wouldn't be your or Jerome Galpin's fault."

Konrad Raab: "Of course not. I'm not backing out of that deal, Ginny. I'm doing that race whether the SCW staff likes it or not. I'd rather show up and wrestle on the Under Attack PPV inside of an elimination chamber since I've not wrestled in one since two thousand and sixteen. I will fly straight back to America to do this pointless Apocalypse PPV, should I be booked."

Which widened Ginny's eyes, which shouldn't be surprising as I thrive in hardcore, chaotic matches, but the fact is that's what I want to be remembered for, my last ever SCW PPV match, not regular matches bullshit. I hadn't even allowed Ginny to speak about Glory yet, as she was shocked by the discovery I made about the NASCAR Euro Series race I was doing.

Ginny Raab: "I get you. I know your focus is on winning the regular season Xfinity Series title from Allgaier and Zilisch this week, but you need to focus on Glory Braddock."

Konrad Raab: "Why am I facing that waste of space wrestler? I want to fight monsters and people that can give me a brutal fight, not technical, sticking to the rules, boring Glory wrestlers of the world."

Ginny Raab: "Maybe because Kemal Yilmaz wants to face her again soon, and he does. He wants to face her in an ultimate submission match. I know you prefer to face Enigma opponents of the world, but this is what you got to deal with. Glory isn't a waste of space; she's undefeated in the ring."

Konrad Raab: "Yeah, I guess. She's undefeated because she was a coward. She pulled out of the rumble match because she's afraid of losing. She hasn't been tested the entire time since she started going on a stupid streak to get a world title match. One she could've gotten in the rumble match. Connor Zilisch had a broken collarbone, yet he still completed a full one-stage race in Daytona. He has more balls than Glory has a pair of tits."

Which was true and something I can easily compare Glory to, and Connor had a god damn injury as well. I was more focused on winning the regular season Xfinity Series title than beating Glory this week, which is saying a lot. But I'm facing her for the sake of beating her arrogant ass down. I guess I can use my violence on her just for the fun of it.

Konrad Raab: "I just beat her down for the fun of it, using violence because that's all she's good for. She needs to be put in her fucking place for her cowardly nature. Anyway, I think I'd better get moving. I need to go to Fresno, California, for a match in another company on Wednesday and then obviously fly straight after the match from there to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to face boring Glory. Thanks for letting me stay at your house last night."

Ginny Raab: "You're my uncle, for gods sake. Of course, I let you stay here. But I understand you have to go. I see you on Thursday then."

I changed and grabbed my clothes, including my wrestling clothes, which were luckily dry thanks to Ginny hanging them out to dry overnight, to pack in my bag. I then gathered my personal belongings and flew straight to Fresno, California, to check in at a rented apartment.

Why is Glory my opponent instead of Enigma blog. (Online)

"Seriously, I'm lost as to why I'm facing the most boring basic wrestler in the entire world. Because Kemal Yilmaz wants to face Glory again? Yeah, most likely, and that's because their styles are alike. Kemal wants to fight you again because he wants to face you in an ultimate submission match. Nothing to do with me other than association with Kemal. Does anyone expect me to write about how proud Kemal and I won the tag match at Rise To Greatness against The Prostitute Connection and The Scared Project to brag about it? Or me winning a lot of NASCAR Cup or Xfinity Series races this year? 

I won't do any of those things, because unlike Glory, who has an ego as big as her head, I don't need to brag about my wins or accomplishments. Speaking about the opponents you beat like you're so proud of a stupid streak you got going, to prove to what? Earn a World Title shot to get staff to pay attention to your boring ass? You're not earning shit with any of the wins you've gotten, and you've not attracted attention with staff either, and you know why?

Because nobody you've beaten since you started your streak has been a former SCW world champion. Fucking hell, you arrogant, egotistical bitch, at least a way to prove you've earned a world title match is by beating former SCW world champions in the ring one-on-one. Challenge the former SCW world champions for a match to make your streak mean something, not beating wrestlers who've never been former SCW world champions, who are quite frankly, beneath you and because of that, your undefeated streak isn't impressive at all, it's a joke.

But then again, if you had a pair of tits instead of being a complete fucking coward, you would've done the rumble to actually win it, that you'd earn a world title shot, you dumb bitch. Even a nineteen-year-old kid I'm racing against for the Xfinity Series Regular Season Championship this weekend, along with a thirty-nine-year-old man, has more balls than you have a pair of tits.

At least that nineteen-year-old kid still drove a race in Daytona, the most dangerous race in NASCAR, for one whole stage, and he had a broken collarbone to deal with, too. You just couldn't be bothered to take part, let alone win the rumble. The problem with you is not only that you're so god damn boring since you have no entertainment or charisma factor, but you have a fear of losing. 

That's why you're so egotistical with bragging about being on a six-game undefeated streak, because once someone destroys your winning streak, you'll be crushed and shattered. After all, the thought of that scares the hell out of you, just like being thrown out of the rumble would've scared you.

All this earning stuff is bullshit. I'm sorry, but you're never going to succeed in life if you're going to stick to the rules. Sticking to the rules to earn shit is overrated. The reason I stopped taking part in the rumble was because I didn't have the stamina to last in the rumble anymore, and that's the fucking truth.

I don't have specific goals for my retirement SCW tour apart from facing Tommy Valentine in a one-on-one match and Enigma the Monster, because I've literally not fought him yet and personally, I should be facing him this week. Also, I doubt this will ever happen, but facing Alistaire Allocco in my last ever match on SCW Breakdown. There's one thing I want to achieve in my last ever PPV match at Under Attack that I want to be remembered for, and it's not about wins and losses, as I don't need to win matches anymore. I don't need this particular match to have a championship title or contendership on the line, as I'm retiring from wrestling in SCW at the end of December anyway.

Elimination Chamber, I want to be in an Elimination Chamber match on Under Attack PPV so bad, so I can recapture the memories of me being brutal, beating the living shit out of my opponents, as a way that Konrad Raab will be remembered as a fucking animal. Because I've not been in it since two thousand and sixteen. That's what I fucking want in my last ever SCW PPV match, nothing else. Heck, me attacking Xander from behind to get a World Title match in my home country will be more remembered than you winning the six matches you got to get a world title match.

Most people tell me I should give you respect where it's due, but that's just feeding your ego at this point, something you clearly don't need more of. Do you honestly think I give a shit about the past of you beating me? No, I genuinely don't, and just because you beat me before doesn't mean you can do it again.

The point is, I'll be a fucking animal again by destroying you because your ego totally needs to be crushed, and I will make you have a fucking concussion so you won't have the ability to brag about your piss poor, meaningless streak ever again. You're head needs to be destroyed, and I could use a piledriver onto you without having any consequences put onto me for doing a good fucking deed, and one you clearly deserve.

I will even use weapons to make you hardcore again, to make you have some form of entertainment instead of being as dull as a rock. I will crush you and break your pathetic streak that you love to brag about because there are more things that I want to achieve in my retirement tour than having so many wins and winning a world title. Also beating me again will be just like all the other opponents you've defeated since the Rebirth PPV, beating another non-former world champion. What a shitty accomplishment from a so-called one of the best wrestlers in the world, which again, is subjective because nobody is the best wrestler in the world, Glory, and that's a damn fact and why that sort of quote makes you hated for an untrue statement.

It doesn't matter, though, because although I don't care about winning matches once again, I have no goals or anything to achieve until I retire from here in December, and this match has nothing for me to gain or lose, while you have everything to gain and lose in this match. I will crush you because you Glory are fucking done for, and I let Kemal finish you off on breaking every bone in your body in his dream ultimate submission match he wants to have with you, and he will win. 

I want to hurt you, and that's what I'll achieve. That's why they've put me in this match with you to do that, and I will. End of fucking story because I don't care if I win or lose this match anymore, like you do. I want to be remembered as a brutal fucking animal that uses flames to burn and bloody his opponents again, because you deserve all those things that'll happen to you."
