The Fabian K. Files

The official MBTG mascot has another incident to explain.

Employee? Mascot? Security risk?

Meet Fabian K.

Nobody at MBTG remembers hiring him. He just showed up backstage with a headset, a cape, an MBTG championship belt, and a battered briefcase marked “MBTG Secret to Success.”

Fabian K. claims he has uncovered the formula behind every great story and every unforgettable show. His plan is simple: reveal it, sell it, and finally cash in. The only problem is that somebody from the MBTG team always catches him before he gets the case open.

Whether he is helping the crew, creating chaos, or whispering his latest deal to anyone who will listen, Fabian has become part of the family. He represents the same spirit behind MBTG itself—small ideas, big shows, bigger plans, and just enough trouble to keep things interesting.

“Everybody’s got a gimmick. Mine pays.”

THE FABIAN K. FILES — INCIDENT NO. 007
THE TOUR MANAGER

Danny told Fabian to help the crew get ready for MBTG’s upcoming appearances.

Fabian heard, “You’re in charge of the tour.”

By breakfast, he had taped a handwritten sign to his briefcase:

FABIAN K. WORLD TOUR
Featuring special guests: everybody else at MBTG.

First stop: ICW’s Halloween Show in Brookport on October 17. Fabian asked Travis whether the camera could follow him all night.

“We’re filming the wrestling,” Travis said.

“Right,” Fabian replied. “And their reactions to meeting me.”

For McKenzie/Bethel Boo Bash on October 22, he requested a private candy bowl, a reserved parking space, and a security escort through the bouncy houses.

Linzee handed him a bag and told him to help carry equipment.

Fabian wrote “VIP luggage” on it.

Then he saw Danny Ice and Duane Cashman were teaming up at Delta Blues Wrestling’s Halloween Magic on October 24.

He volunteered to be their manager.

Danny declined.

Fabian offered to manage Linzee against Jennifer Justice instead.

Linzee declined faster.

He has now appointed himself Director of Appearances and Candy Acquisitions.

Nobody approved the position. He’s already asking about mileage reimbursement.

Come say hello to the MBTG crew:
October 17 — ICW Halloween Show, Brookport, IL.
October 22 — McKenzie/Bethel Boo Bash, McKenzie Town Square, 5:30–8 PM.
October 24 — Delta Blues Wrestling: Halloween Magic, Ripley, MS. Doors 6:30 PM; bell time 7:30 PM.

If Fabian hands you an invoice, please give it to Linzee.

The Fabian K. Files · Incident No. 006

The talent rider.

Official status: Termination request under review

🚨 THE FABIAN K. FILES — INCIDENT NO. 006 🚨
THE TALENT RIDER

Fabian found a blank clipboard backstage and announced that MBTG was finally ready to discuss his contract.

Nobody had offered him a contract. He wrote one anyway.

By lunchtime, he had a six-page talent rider demanding entrance music every time he walked into a room, a private dressing room, someone to carry his briefcase, and a crew member to yell “FIVE MINUTES!” whenever he looked bored.

He put “FABIAN K.” on the supply closet door and called it his dressing room. Linzee removed the sign because she needed the extension cords inside. Fabian put it back with the words DO NOT DISTURB THE TALENT underneath.

Then the ladies found out he had added a clause requiring everyone to applaud when he arrived.

“Can we fire him yet?” they asked Linzee.

Fabian overheard them. He flipped to the last page of his rider and pointed to the signature.

Head of Talent Relations: Fabian K.

“All termination requests go through me,” he said. “Request denied.”

Travis handed him a light stand and told him load-in had started. Fabian carried it halfway across the room, stopped to wave at a camera, and whispered, “They can’t fire the main attraction.”

It was a security camera.

He finished carrying the stand, then submitted an invoice for his appearance fee and “hazard pay for working in a hostile environment.” The hostile environment was Linzee asking him to give back the extension cords.

The ladies have filed a second termination request. Fabian says he’ll review it after his entrance music plays. 😂

The Fabian K. Files · Incident No. 005

The promotion department.

Tonight · Falls Count Everywhere Podcast · 9 PM Central

Fabian K. at a social media desk promoting Falls Count Everywhere Podcast, tonight at 9 PM Central

🚨 The Fabian K. Files — Incident No. 005 🚨

Fabian K. has been assigned to help promote tonight’s Falls Count Everywhere Podcast on social media.

He was given the show graphic, the start time, and one simple instruction: Tell people to watch.

Instead, he sent Dave Ruby a list of questions.

“Dave, if I share the show twelve times, does that make me a sponsor?”

“Can I put ‘official podcast correspondent’ in my bio?”

“If somebody watches on two phones, do they count as a tag team?”

“And how many hashtags before the post gets a title shot?”

Dave has not answered all of them. Fabian has already made another list.

While we sort that out, here’s the information Fabian was supposed to share:

🎙️ Falls Count Everywhere Podcast — Episode 242
📅 Tonight at 9 PM Central
🔴 Streaming live

Go watch the show, join the conversation, and show our friends at Falls Count Everywhere some love.

Fabian, please stop asking Dave if the microphone comes with entrance music.

The Fabian K. Files · Incident No. 001

Caught again.

Official status: Briefcase confiscated

Fabian K. caught trying to sell the MBTG Secret to Success briefcase

🚨 Fabian K. has been caught again. 🚨

Apparently, Fabian tried to sell the “MBTG Secret to Success” for $19.99, a gas-station energy drink, and a guaranteed spot in the main event.

When confronted, his official statement was:

“Me? I didn’t do anything…yet.”

The briefcase has been confiscated. Fabian has been placed on probation. Unfortunately, nobody can figure out who actually has the key.

If this little masked troublemaker contacts you with an “exclusive business opportunity,” please notify MBTG immediately.

Do not give him money. Do not offer him creative control. And whatever you do…do not let him book the show. 😂

The Fabian K. Files · Incident No. 002

The case is open.

Official status: One very disappointed salesman

Fabian K. opens his battered briefcase to find batteries, a tangled microphone cable, cold coffee, a note to keep telling the stories, and a sealed red envelope

🚨 Fabian K. has a very important announcement. 🚨

After the last incident, someone finally found the key. Before we could stop him, Fabian opened the “MBTG Secret to Success” briefcase.

Inside: three dead batteries, a tangled mic cord, a cold cup of coffee, and a note that says, “Keep telling the stories.”

Keep telling the stories.

Honestly? That last one is working pretty well. From wrestling locker rooms to businesses across West Tennessee, the stories behind the people are why MBTG exists.

Fabian still thinks there must be more to it. He might be right: a sealed red envelope was tucked beneath the note. Nobody knows what is inside yet.
