Going from a wrestling loss to car potential issues. Daytona Beach, Florida. Thursday 17th February. (Off-Camera)
While all the other wrestlers on Breakdown stayed around after their match, Konrad didn't. Mostly because he had another job to do, until his match, Konrad listened to every radio communication Brad gave him before he left for Tampa, which was only two hours from Daytona Beach. Because Konrad couldn't do the races due to wrestling always coming first, he allowed one of his teammates in the Xfinity series, another series Konrad's racing in. Tyler, who's a nineteen-year-old kid, stepped in. While listening to Tyler's communication with the team, one thing that strikes on his mind was brake issues. So that was another reason he left Tampa right away.
Mainly he didn't need a shower when one of his team crew drove him there and back to and from Tampa to be back at the circuit in time. The team crew member known as Darren Myles didn't understand wrestling. So as they were driving back to Daytona Beach in Darren's car, Konrad sitting in the front, had some questions to ask about the sport.
Darren Myles: "So what the hell is that all about?"
Konrad Raab: “My way of wrestling. All I will say is I had to do what I must. These assholes in that company aren't good people, and besides, I've burnt all of my bridges with them. Mainly because each of them has mocked and treated me like a piece of garbage. So the real me you see in NASCAR has no effect in wrestling."
Darren Myles: "Oh, so you were being bullied, is what I'm hearing? I now understand. I've got nothing to say about it because as long as you don't rage over things in NASCAR, that's the main thing."
Konrad Raab: "I appreciate you taking me to and from Tampa. I would've got a plane straight there and back, even if I have a private plane of my own."
Darren Myles: "It's what being a part of Brad Rogers Racing is all about. I never understood why Brad hired you to be a racer, especially at the time, I thought you had no experience, but Brad, he got me to watch some races you did in Germany and said, that's why I always wanted Konrad to race with us."
Konrad nodded his head, hearing Darren's story about how he had to ask Brad why Konrad was a racer. It was another story that Konrad had no idea about. However, he did change into his racing work clothes and washed the face paint off, the only thing in his locker room he did since he had to be a racing professional instead of being dressed as a wrestler.
Konrad Raab: "I think that win I had in Atlanta shut a lot of people up on them doubting me as a driver. I never felt more respected; in fact, I get more respect in the last few months of being a NASCAR driver than I have on seven years of being a wrestler in SCW."
Darren Myles: "I can tell you're a different guy in wrestling. At the same time, Kyle Young did mention to me in private you do have anger issues, mostly because you admitted it to him, and that shocked me because I never thought you'd lose your rage at anyone."
Konrad Raab: "Well, if your dad continuously beats you up since you were five years old and tries everything to make sure you don't exist as well as the emotional abuse I kept getting. Even had high school bullies treating me like hell, you would freak the fuck out. I'm banned from Twitter because of my explosive anger. I got bipolar. I don't take my tablets when it comes to wrestling in SCW because I got sick of being calm and acting like shit don't go wrong and having to put up with shit. These wrestlers are fucking assholes at best. It's why I have a fetish for violence and blood."
Konrad had never felt better, even if it meant to tell Darren about him having bipolar and nobody, but Luiza, Brad Rogers, Dakon Theron and Kyle Young knew anything about it. At that moment, Konrad sat silently in the car, thinking more about the racing side of things now. Nothing wrestling is on his mind, and he didn't care if he disrespected the company by not sticking around; they knew full well about Konrad's NASCAR career, especially the bosses who spoke to Konrad about it last week. Darren did want to bring up another question about the match Konrad had.
Darren Myles: "When I look at you, it doesn't seem like you cared you lost the match with Christy Matthews. For someone who's so competitive, you don't act like it with wrestling."
Konrad Raab: "Her former tag partner isn't around anymore, the one that emotionally bullied me with baby pictures and mocking everything I fucking said. I got this title from him, despite his brother assisting me in winning the belt for me, but that's not my fault. But no, I don't care about the loss. I did damage to Christy, beaten her when I could, and that's good enough for me."
Darren Myles: "It's almost as seems you enjoy the beatings because it takes away the emotional pain you have for years. I see that NASCAR, while you are fantastic, although you need to work at starts/restarts and learn more of the tracks you've not been to, you use the sport to relax you away from the fighting."
Konrad Raab: "Partly yes, but also because I always wanted to do it. Let me think about NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series races now; that's all I want to focus on."
Darren decided to leave the conversation there. It was clear Konrad was thinking more about racing than wrestling now, primarily what Tyler communicated to the team on the radio. They arrived back at the Daytona Beach circuit two hours later as both Konrad and Darren showed their Daytona five hundred passes to gain access. Darren parks the car, and Konrad chucked his large Brad Rogers Racing rucksack out of the car, and he gets out himself before picking it up and goes straight to the team garage. As he does with all the racing finished and they still have the lights on, Tyler comes straight to Konrad, trying to tell him about the issues with the car.
Tyler: "Let me get straight into it. I drove that car today and th............."
Konrad held up a particular radio which made Konrad know about the issues Tyler was having with the car, and Konrad patted on his shoulder, even shaking his hand. The team was looking at Konrad, seeing how he was already getting along with Tyler, well they had to be teammates, and he did Konrad a favour.
Konrad Raab: "I thank you for being willing to drive my car today. However, I need to see these brake issues for myself. Was there any other issues I missed while you drove that car you want me to test?"
Tyler: "There was also some tech issues with the engine making a buzzing noise, and the throttle at times got stuck. Other than those things, your car is fine."
Konrad Raab: "I'll go and test my car in fifteen minutes and see the issues apply to me so the team can go and fix them."
Konrad gathered a lot of feedback from Tyler. Of course, the team was aware of it, but they told Tyler to give Konrad information about the car and its behaviour. Konrad sighed, thinking his car was perfect for the race, but it wasn't, according to Tyler. So he picks his large rucksack and goes straight to his motorhome.
When he got there, he kissed Luiza on the lips and knew full well what had happened; she didn't ask. Konrad got into his overalls from his regular clothes, putting on his racing boots and grabbing his helmet. He leaves his motorhome and goes straight to the garage again. He goes in the car, and Brad nods before going over to Konrad.
Brad Rogers: "Do two laps."
Konrad nodded as he turned the engine on his NASCAR and drove the car out to the pit lane, and then he drove. As he drove for two laps, he did notice the most important thing, the brake issue as Konrad's going so fast; he had to slow right down because the brake wasn't working correctly, and there was the buzzing noise Tyler mentioned and the throttle being stuck. Konrad drove the car back to the pits, and the pit crew gathered around Konrad. Tyler also came over as Konrad got out of the car and took his helmet off.
Konrad Raab: "The kid is right; there are brake, throttle getting stuck at times and the buzzing noise from the engine was very loud."
Gerald: "We'll work overnight to get the problems sorted for you, Mr Raab. Thank you for the feedback, and same with you as well, Tyler."
Tyler: "We so should get used to one another at some point. I got to see you wrestle someday. You seem a decent guy. Such a shame you couldn't be my dad."
Konrad Raab: "So you had father issues as well?"
Tyler: "No, my dad loves me, just I heard how wonderful you are with children, and I know about you having a lot of kids. Do you see them?"
Konrad Raab: "Every other week, they come to stay with my fiancee and me. As for the offer of hanging out in the future, I would love that. We're a team for life. I can't wait to race with you and Brandon tomorrow in the Xfinity Series. Going to be one hell of an experience."
Tyler and Konrad embrace, slapping hands and patting each other around their shoulder before leaving off after doing a fist bump as that's where Konrad and Tyler went their separate ways of going into each of their motorhomes. Konrad could finally relax as he took off his racing overalls and put them and the helmet on the chair. Konrad closes the motorhome door and turns the light off for him and Luiza to have private time together before Konrad because he had to get up early for Xfinity and Cup Series practices, and qualifying goes straight off to sleep.
-------------------------------
Does Konrad have his first fight and argument in NASCAR? Daytona Beach, Florida. Monday 21st February (Off-Camera)
Because Konrad won the primary Daytona five hundred race yesterday, on top of many drivers wanting words with a specific driver, he told the team the driver is on to meet him in the garage tomorrow. Konrad sure was happy he won both the Xfinity and the Daytona Five Hundred race because nobody thought Konrad could do it, but it would've gotten better if Brad didn't nearly take him out of the race with front bumper damage. First thing in the morning, without Konrad taking a dose of his bipolar tablets, Konrad got out of bed and put on some regular jeans and his Skittles shirt. Konrad shook his head, noticing that Luiza would wake up, and he shook his head at her.
Konrad Raab: “You stay here.”
Luiza Doe: "Where you going?"
Konrad Raab: "To sort a certain driver out."
Luiza slapped herself in the face as sure; there was a reason Konrad decided to talk to a driver today because of what happened in the race, despite winning it. At the same time, Luiza wasn't going to stop him because she couldn't when he hadn't taken his bipolar tablets, and it certainly wasn't looking like he was going to. Even Kyle Young, a guy who also had a lot of car damage from the same driver, was like Luiza as she discovered how close Kyle and Konrad were.
Kyle Young: "Please, Luiza, go to our motorhome to keep yourself safe."
Luiza Doe: "You know about Konrad's anger issues?"
Kyle Young: "Yes, he opened up to me about it a couple of weeks ago in Los Angeles. Please, go and see my son and my wife. Because the driver messed with the wrong guy."
Luiza does just that, mainly to keep herself safe, although Konrad would never hit Luiza if he did, even by accident. Kyle, Christopher and Tyler, Konrad's closest NASCAR friends, were going to walk with him and break up something that could go very wrong. Konrad goes to the garage with pure anger and forcefully opens the garage, and he eyeballs the driver who nearly cost him the race win yesterday. A guy they go by the name Brad Lane. Konrad gets right up to Brad's face.
Konrad Raab: "What was your fucking problem?"
Brad Lane: "What do you mean? You won the race yesterday, for god's sake."
Konrad Raab: "I would've had a better race if you didn't ram what thirteen cars, including myself at the beginning. How fucking dare you think you can be friends with me, and then you go and do that. It's not just me, my best fucking friend nearly retired, and you caused Christopher to retire because of you."
Konrad had all this pent up energy, and Christopher and Tyler had no idea about Konrad's anger until now. Brad laughed it off, but because of the mood Konrad's in and he hadn't taken his bipolar tablets, he grabbed his throat and dragged him against the wall, gritting his teeth across his lip, breathing in and out.
Konrad Raab: "Oh, you think it's funny, do you to go and cause a fucking wreak on me, my best friend Kyle Young and Christopher?"
Brad Lane: "I do because how can someone who won the race be so angry with me?"
Konrad Raab: "Because of what you have done. You don't seem like you're condoning anything you did. You can be aggressive all you want, but not to a point you wreaked thirteen cars and ten of them retired because you're just a dangerous motherfucker. You don't want to try and hit me. You damn well know where the fuck I came from."
Brad Lane: "Yeah, a wrestler that loses half of his matches every single time he goes out there to wrestle. You're weak ass piece of garbage."
Konrad had enough at that point as he bangs Brad against the wall and takes him down to punch the hell out of him. This wasn't the fight Brad had with Jeff many years ago where he could defend himself; Konrad was another level because of the wrestling background. Because of the wreak, Brad caused yesterday, Kyle and Christopher were not going to get involved and enjoy Konrad busting Brad open without any media around them. Konrad goes to pick up a tool, a hammer that has been seen in a wrestling match before. As Tyler sees Konrad batter the hell out of Brad, he runs in and takes the hammer off.
Tyler: "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Sure, he caused a wreak on you, Kyle and Christopher, but you don't have to resort to using a hammer on the guy."
Konrad Raab: “I don't care. Brad has it coming to him, disrespecting me like that. No, I've had enough people bullying me and thinking they can get away with shit. Now move so this guy can forever regret that he lost trust in me, and he lost trust in all of you. This piece of shit deserves to have his brains scrambled."
Tyler stood back as Kyle put his hands up.
Kyle Young: "Can I tell Tyler and Christopher why on what you said away from here?"
Konrad nodded as they went away, and Konrad, with a sick smile on his face with Brad struggling to get up, and Konrad used a hammer on his legs, hearing Brad screaming out in pain as Christopher and Tyler told why Konrad said what he said. Konrad still had a sick smile on his face, and then he used the hammer across his left arm, causing it to bleed, which only fired him up a lot more. It only got him to remember all the emotional pain he had in wrestling and his father in his mind. Konrad uses the hammer on Brad's chest. When Christopher, Tyler and Kyle went back, they saw Konrad lifting the hammer up, but as Konrad was going to do that, one of his wrestling friends came in.
Dakon Theron: "No, no, you can't do that, Konrad. You're the Underground and Daytona champion, remember? You'd lost those cups and title belts if you're about to do something you'll more than likely regret."
Konrad Raab: "No, I don't regret shit. This fucker was my fucking friend. You saw what happened yesterday when this cunt tried to retire me. Kyle nearly retired, and Christopher had to retire because of this wacko, and now he'll pay for his crimes."
As Konrad lifted the hammer above his head, Dakon took the hammer off from Konrad, and Konrad placed his foot across Brad's mouth as he crouched down, shaking his head until he found a spanner. Something that wasn't so deadly and dangerous, and then he uses the spanner across Brad's head viciously and painfully. Tyler and Christopher know why Konrad does these acts on wrestlers and is doing it on NASCAR drivers. Konrad smashes Brad's head with the spanner multiple times until he couldn't beat Brad up anymore. Konrad saw a lot of blood dripping Brad's head as he laughed.
Konrad Raab: "Now who's a worthless piece of shit? It's funny because the entire time you've been a part of the Cup Series championship, you should know better than not to wrack thirteen drivers. Be lucky I didn't try to tear your fucking head off with the hammer, or if I had it here, my spiky chain necklace to hurt you even farther. Next time you think about doing that shit, and if you do it again, I will come and do all of those things and also, I won't hesitate to do it in front of a live audience either."
Kyle Young: "Um, Konrad, you can't use weapons on drivers, though."
Konrad Raab: "When did I say I'd beat him with a weapon? I'd use my whole body to beat this son of a bitch up."
Dakon Theron: "You've proved your point now, come on, go back to your apartment and take your anger pills."
Konrad Raab: "They aren't anger pills; it's bipolar. I wasn't going to argue with him after I was taken them. It would've had no effect. I'm leaving this fuck alone now, though."
Konrad dropped the spanner as he still grabbed hold of Brad's throat, breathing in and out heavily as he held him up.
Konrad Raab: "Stay the hell away from all of us, Brad and never come to see me ever again."
Konrad drops Brad as Christopher and Kyle partly did like what Konrad did because of their races being ruined by Brad, but at the same time, they knew Konrad might've gone way too far with his comments and his actions. However, Konrad felt a lot better about himself as Luiza came out of Kyle's motorhome and walked back to Konrad's motorhome with her noticing blood on Konrad's hands.
Luiza Doe: "Konrad, do you realise that by doing what you did, you could end up going to prison for this shit?"
Konrad Raab: “It was well deserve Luiza. The guy wreaked Christopher's and almost Kyle's race as well. It's not the first time Brad's done dodgy shit either. Multiple times, that dogshit has wreaked a few drivers, even got in a fight with Jeff one time. He didn't even attempt to throw a punch at me since Brad was scared."
Luiza Doe: "I mean seriously, Konrad. I understand you were upset, but I heard all the screams you did. There was no need for you to go that far. Your addiction to violence is getting worse, and while you've not hit me, you need help."
She hadn't been wrong; Konrad had been stalling on seeking help for his anger issues as Luiza noticed a few tablets on the bedside table, ones Konrad always got out. Luiza placed the tablets in Konrad's hand."
Luiza Doe: "Take them right this second, and we're not leaving until you do."
Konrad had calmed down enough to a point he did feel ready to take his bipolar medication. He pops a few in his mouth before drinking water. They were done as Konrad and Luiza packed up everything and left their motorhome to head straight back to Chicago for a wrestling match Konrad has today in another company.
