OOC: Credit to Jon Kellar on working this with me.
Footage from backstage at Pride of Puroresu: Resurgence.
Kellar staggers backstage, covered in streamers and with Melissa still on his shoulder. Sean has the belt over his shoulder as the backstage crew applaud.
As he reaches the bottom of some stairs leading from the entranceway, he finds his opponent Konrad Raab waiting for him. Raab has removed his mask and wiped the blood from his forehead. As in the ring, he extends his hand and Kellar accepts it, after dropping Melissa to the floor gently.
Kellar: You sir, are one stubborn bastard. I thought I'd have to rip your leg off.
Raab: I don’t give up with submission holds. I continue fighting, especially in title matches, until I can’t fight anymore.
Kellar: We’re a rare breed these days, you and me. If it makes you feel any better, no one gets out of the Klutch, and I don't let go for anything.
Sean: It’s true you know. He's like a bulldog with a stick.
Raab: That’s what I respect about you, you are willing to go the limits to win any sort of title belt. That’s why you are a real champion.
Kellar: Thanks.
Kellar turns to leave, then stops.
Kellar: Listen. Myself and two of my GZW2K1 colleagues are looking to start something in Atlanta. If you're game, we could use people like you. We've got the makings of something big, but we need some established stars.
Kellar turns to Sean, who produces a couple of tickets from his jeans.
Kellar: At the very least, come to our next show as my guest. It's for charity.
If there’s one thing Konrad always feels bad on not doing nearly enough in the wrestling business, it’s doing things for charity as he looks up and speaks.
Raab: It will be my honour to come down to Underground Zero Wrestling and be your guest. I’m a huge fan of wrestling shows doing something for charity. Something I’m ashamed to admit I don’t do enough of. Of course I accept your offer.
Kellar: Great! I have some business to take care of here in Japan before I head back to the States, but I’ll sort us out some flights and be in touch.
Raab: Does that business involve finding Fujiwara Masaki?
Kellar frowns
Kellar: How did you know about that?
Raab: I heard whispers at the press conference. If you're interested, I happen to know he's doing a show at the Budokan in a few days.
Kellar: I heard, but I can't scare up tickets for love or money.
Raab smiles and produces a couple of tickets from a nearby aide.
Raab: Least I can do is return the favour.
