Inside of a Japanese arena. Tokyo, Japan. Sunday 13th SeptemberAfter WEW Legacy PPV has finished, along with the interviews this guy has to do a ton of, instead of going straight home, there's one guy who's sitting in the middle of the ring after kissing the ring goodbye as a WEW competitor and the man who respects the wrestling business is known as The Iceman Stefan Raab. He's aware that he's got a match coming up against three other guys for the chance to be the Global championship title contender which he felt it's far too fast, but it's what he's assigned to and he speaks about it. Stefan Raab: "It's been a while since I last debuted in a new company like EWC, even with my stupid twin brother being apart of the company, but the difference is the shows we are on. You see you all know him as a violent and dangerous wrestler. This other Raab is completely opposite as I destate weapon matches because they are never a way to win matches and plus, I respect my opponents as well which is why I'm in New Japan Fighting Championship to learn their ways of wrestling and gain experience from it."Stefan's mouth was dry as he swallowed his saliva before talking again. Stefan Raab: "Japan from my experience here has been wonderful and I didn't only just come here to wrestle Vantage on WEW Legacy PPV, I also came here to sign a contract to NJFC last night. Wow, this match came out of the blue, didn't it of my arrival on facing against three talented individuals for a chance to be a Global Championship title contender against whoever wins between Devin Hearst and Kurt Newman, but first the opponents of my match need to be talked about."It's hard for anybody to think of things to say to people he doesn't know, especially as they are making their debuts to EWC NJFC themselves and Stefan lies in the ring a bit before talking again. Stefan Raab: "I'm not gonna go and say negative things because that's not who this Iceman is. The thing is I respect each and every individual I face in the ring and I say all of you are very different because one person who has the high flying nature of his wrestling, Stigma. Then we have a guy who already wrestles for the Brawl brand on EWC already making a name for himself on Shawn Cage and then another guy who just like me and Stigma are also new to the company, but has a thing for violence just like Markus Lord Raab, Monroe."Although Stefan doesn't have much information other than what he said, he's looking forward to the challenge and knows a little bit more of Shawn Cage as so does everybody and he speaks again after slowly getting up from lying in the ring. Stefan Raab: "Although we know that Shawn's had three wins to his career in Brawl and that's someone we newbies have to view as a threat because we've seen what he can do in the ring, but the problem is he hasn't seen what me, Monroe or Stigma can do in the ring, although I roughly know about Stigma who seems to have the same style as someone I know very well in another company, but that's not important to know. Monroe is someone that well has a lot of talent, let's put it that way, although I don't agree that violence belongs in wrestling because skill inside of the ring wins rather than cheating to use weapons to win matches, but that's just what I believe."
He likes how quiet the arena is now and he closes his eyes for a few minutes to feel the electricity in the air when he starts competing in Japan and he already likes the wrestling and the environment of the company as well. Stefan Raab: "I'm a very respectable wrestler and unless I'm provoked, I will never say bad things towards anybody. I just can't in a company like this and I encourage each one of my rivals to bring everything they have. I'm really looking forward to this match because Japan was somewhere I could learn a bit more wrestling because it may seem I have a lot of experience with wrestling, I actually don't have much at all, well I've only been wrestling for three years and I still have a lot to learn, hence why I come to Japan because I heard they are very respectful towards their opponents and the passion they have to wrestle is amazing."It's just the rumours Stefan's heard from many news sites around the world about Japan and their wrestlers wrestle for the passion of the sport which is what Stefan wanted to learn as he gets some ice out of the bag speaks again. Stefan Raab: "I can still go in the ring against anybody and it's extremely rare for German wrestlers like myself to be here, I want to experience Japan and their ways of wrestling as much as I can cos life's too short not to. I'm known as The Iceman because as you can see, I love to have ice all over my body and I just feel like with my mask that it's how calm I am towards the business. I hope my opponents can show that same respect as I have for them and like I do with my ice as well because the end of the day, we are gonna wrestle for the chance to be title contenders for the Global title. I'll end things there for now and speak more about the match later in the week."Stefan finishes spreading ice on his body as he gets up from the ring and goes underneath the ropes and walks straight out of the arena and the ring to get to the airport and fly back to America.

Going for a run in Chicago. Chicago, Illinois. Saturday 26th September. In the city of Chicago, Illinois, there's a man who's come here quite often to wrestle recently and he's honestly bored of being in Chicago, but it's where Stefan had to wrestle, but he's been everywhere within the city he's been to this year so he's suited up to do some running around Chicago like he's taking part in the Chicago Half Marathon, even though it's cold and pretty windy, it wasn't gonna stop Stefan to push the extra mile as he begins to speak. Stefan Raab: "I've been here more times than anywhere else in America and that's why rather than exploring Chicago, I'm out running like they do every year known as the half marathon which takes place right here in this city. Anyway it looks like I have to address a few things, but in a way that's constructive and what I feel about things. Shawn Cage seems to be rather quiet about this upcoming match so I think it's best to leave him, although I'm certainly taking him as a threat because quiet people do tend to come out on fire."Stefan knew he couldn't run as fast as he wanted to because of his heart is at a bit of a risk so therefore he was running at his own pace just to lower the risk of his heart and he continues to speak. Stefan Raab: "We have Stigma who comes from England, pretty much like me coming from Europe and that's pretty great to see a highflyer wanting to improve his skills in Japan and having a very nice family. He's right that I don't know the guy very well, but I see a massive amount of potential in what he does in the ring and I can see him going very far, even faster than I can run with the speed being a disadvantage for me in this match, but I also see him being distracted with his family that could cost him. I have family myself, but when I know I have to wrestle, I put my wife and kids behind me, especially in this situation with the title. I'm just giving you advice."Which seems to be the problem for Stefan to talk with his next opponent, considering he wrestles in a style Stefan will never approve on as he gets a bottle of water out of his pocket and lifts the cap up to drink before pressing it down to speak again. Stefan Raab: "Monroe, you think I don't seem to grasp about this business? Go ahead and say that because violence is not apart of what we do as wrestlers. It's just a way you think wrestling should be. Go ahead and enjoy hurting other people, but is that the way you gain respect by doing that? I disagree big time and if you want to be violent, go and compete in hardcore company's pal because this New Japan Fighting Championship company is not the place for that. I'm a safe wrestler I can be because that's how much I respect this sport."It wasn't too hard for Raab to stay calm, but it left questions on what he said about Stefan not knowing anything about the sport as he looks at the sights overview the river including lots of large buildings as he continues running in the streets. Stefan Raab: "Violence is never the answer to solve any problems in this business and quite frankly sounds quite silly. It's foolish to think pinfalls and submissions are being violent. No, I don't hurt people to win, I don't cheat or gain an advantage by violently destroying people to win. I wrestle with putting my skills on the line for the match and winning matches fairly without hurting people or making them feel unsafe. Although this is a little pointless, but every title match I've had, I've won them without being violent to anybody in the ring so yes people wrestle for their passion of the business and there's nothing passionate about breaking a bone in someone's body."Stefan thinks ahead of his future within New Japan Fighting Championships as he loves the idea of being able to compete and following the rules of Japanese fighting style and he had been when he's been training in Japan before his match against Vantage, but it's time to move on and thinks about the chance he's been given and speaks about it. Stefan Raab: "Four male wrestlers competing for the chance to be a number one contender for the Global Championship sounds pretty sweet, although it's a bit early, but I'm taking it by both hands because I don't think any of us will get another chance like this ever again, especially it's rare in this day and age to earn something so soon in our careers to get a potential title chance, but in order to do so, one of us has to pin the other wrestler and due to the three year experience, I think that's gonna be me because I live and breathe on wrestling and I'm gonna enjoy working in this wonderful Japanese company full of future stars to make it to America someday.
I'm gonna be the one that's either gonna pin or submit someone in a fair way and have my hands held up in the air and going through to face either Kurt Newman or Devin Hearst for that prestigious title we all have and we should take each other as serious threats equally because I have along with ice being poured all over me because tomorrow night, I'm gonna slide through the ice to win cos I need to. Tomorrow night in Chicago, Illinois, you four will prepare to be Raabinated by The Iceman."Stefan then stops as he walks back to the hotel and goes to his room to take everything, but his boxer shorts off as he then goes to sleep.
