The
Outkast... Returns
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the
live event, I was a bit exhausted. Charisma really gave me a run for
my money out there, couldn't really believe it but I certainly got the
win. It was harder then I thought it was. The rust seems to be
showing, wasn't aware that it would be as difficult as it was to keep
pace with her. Her command of the ring was impressive.
Reno
Destiny:
Someone go get Cassandra.
I walked
back to my locker room sweating like I just ran a 10k marathon, I sit
down on my chair and grab the towel and wipe my face off and grab a Gatorade
from the cooler. Cassandra walks in with a smile on her face.
She drops her bag on the couch and sits in the chair next to him checking
out his face and his other bruises on his body.
Cassandra :
You did good out
there baby, you really dug that win out.
Reno
Destiny :She gave me a run for my money, that should not have
happened.
Cassandra :
All that matters in the
end is the win. You will get the rhythm back and be flawless in that
ring in no time.
I look at
her and smile but on the inside, for the first time , I find myself
doubting my feelings going into this match, the rust was never a
problem before. I would go into matches seemingly smooth and majestic
with my approach but this time was a little different. I was a step
slower, hesitant. I put my stuff in my gym bag with the only thing on
my mind is training.
Reno Destiny
: Lets get our stuff together and head back home.
She gathers
her stuff and I grab my gym bag and head towards the garage. The next
day I wake up around 5 o'clock in the morning and prepare for my morning run
around the Atlantic City Boardwalk. I grab my under armor gear and my
headphones selecting cult of personality by living colour. I look at
my love and see her sleeping peacefully in the bed and I find my motivation
all over again for why I am doing what I am doing. She is carrying a
life that I have to provide for and that life will look at me for the
example. I can't fuck this up.
After my run
around the boardwalk, at around 6:45 I arrive back home and see
Cassandra fixing breakfast for me.
Cassandra
: Breakfast fit for a king.
Reno
Destiny : You should be resting.
Cassandra
: You are working hard
Reno Destiny
: I need to, I was almost caught off guard by a noob.
Cassandra :
That's not true, you may have shown a little bit of rust but
that's
normal, you haven't been in a match in over a month and you may have
been a little anxious
I look over
my shoulder at her with a funny face
Cassandra
: Well you were all pumped up and excited to be back in Boardwalk Wrestling
and you did go really hard training to get back into the ring. Didn't
you say you wanted to destroy her?
Reno Destiny
: yes, destroy so I can show everyone that im still a force, and I am
still a force. That was to close. I can't make the next
match that way.
Cassandra I
know, and you will win the next match, against the current casino
champ.
Reno Destiny
: They are really throwing me into it. Bring it on boardwalk, im
ready for it.
I take my
bag and sit it next to the chair and sit for breakfast. I worked to
hard to get back into this and I can't lose. I have a goal I
need to attain
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I got a call
today from an old friend, he wanted me to meet him out at the beach.
I almost walk into a kid who is playing Pokémon go, he excuses
himself and runs over to find a lapras near the pier. I look out
on the beach and I see my friend mason waiting for me at the tiki bar.
I approach him and give him a hug.
Reno
:Been a minute brotha.
Mason Randal
:Yeah it has, I see you are living the good life down here in Atlantic
City.
Reno Destiny
:It Really isn't. Atlantic City is about to default and the
state is in the middle of taking it over. Don't really know what's going
to go down with boardwalk, hopefully pettis keeps his tabs down on it.
Mason Randal
: You sure know a lot about Atlantic city, you have only been here
maybe a month or so.
Reno Destiny
:A guy like me keeps his ear to everything going on. I wouldn't be me.
Mason Randal
:Well I know you like to get down to business so I will just cut the shit.
The state of Texas is levying taxes against your previous business ventures.
Reno Destiny
:Which means what to me? That place shut down.
Mason Randal
: It basically means they are trying to get you arrested and put on
probation. Wont be able to wrestle for a year.
Reno Destiny
: Well how the fuck can they do that, isn't this the United States of
America? last I checked, this isn't boxing.
Mason Randal
:True but the alternative is that you get put in jail. There
were something's left unchecked from the previous owners that the I.R.S has
picked up on and they are coming after who is let to come after.
Reno Destiny
: I am the only one left to come after. So who do I have to grease?
Mason Randal
:We need someone to look into what the previous owners didn't do. Know
any good detectives around here.
I chuckle
for a second before I answer this dumb question.
Reno Destiny
: Only good detective I know is dick tracey and he doesn't exist.
Other then that, Imposters maybe.
Mason Randal
: Don't worry, I will try to fix this, otherwise they will take your
money and your freedom.
Reno Destiny
:You can NOT tell Cassandra about this. I have a Kid on the way
and this is NOT what we need right now. I just got my feet back wet in
this business and it seems I got more work to do then I would normally need.
Mason Randal
:Hey , you know I am here if you need to get back on that horse old man.
Reno Destiny
: I am about to turn 30, im not old.
Mason Randal
:30 the new 20? 30 isn't what it used to be especially for
someone 16 years already in the game.
Mason smirks
and gets up from the table leaving some cash to pay for the drinks.
What the hell did those guys do down there in Texas, this isn't the
right time for this to be happening. I can't have this distraction
coming towards me especially while im trying to revamp this career I have.
I got to focus on next live. I can't think about the past because it
will only hinder my future.
I get
up from the table and make my way back to my home. Outside the
bell boy walks over to me and asks for an autograph, he must be new.
I get up to my place and Cassandra is waiting on the couch watching Rizza on
TV.
Cassandra :
Babe, Look who it is.
I walk over
to the TV and watch the promo with my arms folded.
Reno Destiny
:Well, At least everyone likes the name Destiny.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
camera cuts on to a picture of a skyline with 2 bright lights beaming to the
sky. New York City, the site of the twin towers is where we find Reno
Destiny staring into the 2 spaces where both towers once stood. The
rain from earlier in the day has made the area humid and hot as pedestrians
walk the perimeter looking through all the names of the people lost on that
tragic day in September of 2001. Reno looks at it differently however.
Reno
Destiny : A
lot
of people lost their lives on this terrible day in history over 10 years
ago. To calculate or measure the amount of pain that this event in
time gave would be impossible. So many families have lost so much and
the men and women who died sacrificed themselves to history. The names
that are engraved around this shrine to the Twin Towers is a reminder of
that sacrifice. God called for their lives to join him in heaven
and while we on earth can't accept that right away, it took time to
heal. It will take a long time to heal.
Recently
wrestling lost its towers, and without getting into the gory details ,
those towers fell and whether people want to admit it or not, it was one of
those real moments where time stood still. I was apart of those
towers and now, those towers are gone. A piece of me was destroyed
when those towers fell. I wasn't sad, or hurt when my home was
destroyed, I was angry because it could have been avoided and people
act as if they didn't have a hand in pushing the button that imploded it.
Karma comes back to those who deserve it, and she will be there.
This is why
I fight so hard, this is why night in and night out I come to win.
I don't bust my ass and put myself on the line night after night after night
just for shits and gigs. I do not believe in wasting my time, this is
all business. I am the best wrestler on the roster and I proved that
last week against Charisma. She put up a great effort and in
many ways like I said previously, she reminds me a lot of me when I first
started, the fire that burns inside her is infectious. I am on
the other side now and it is invigorating to know that there are still
people out there that have a chance at their destiny and Charisma has a
chance , a great chance at achieving her destiny.
I also said
that this match would end one way, and that's by me getting my hand raised
after Destiny's end. I am here to prove without a shadow of a doubt
that this " old school " soul can still get it done in the new era,
this new era of "peace" or whatever they want to call the mask they
put over the true face of wrestling.
Wrestling
has become shaded now, and you can be on one side or the other.
Most people think it's cool to be on the not so honorable side of wrestling
while others put on the show and entertain the crowd and prove they belong
in the spotlight. I am called the most controversial wrestler in the
business because I have stepped on both sides of the shade. I have
been apart of the old era, and now I am apart of the new era and I can say
with confidence, No one in this era can hold a candle to the old
guard.
The last
time I was in boardwalk, it wasn't for very long, I literally pissed away
wasting time with my last run and it turned sloppy very fast. I
was to headstrong thinking I could jump in here and go after a god.
Don't get me wrong though the man was no god, he was beatable but I
learned when you are going for vengeance, it never really works. I wont
make that mistake again this go around. I am here to prove to the
world that there should be no doubt about Reno Destiny and his legacy.
I have Won Multiple world championships and made sure my name is known for
the wrestling.
Brings me to
this week, Rizza, Mr. big Tyme himself. First I would
like to say I am not boardwalks past. I stepped a toe in this
building and really that was it. They never got my full potential and
full attention until now. Come live
there can be only one winner and I can't think of another way to show who is
better then facing off against each other. You are a 6'10 mountain of a
guy who is ready and eager to make his name off of the legacy of destiny. I
am sorry to say that you and everyone else in Pittsburgh will have to settle
for the Steelers winning over the expectations of you beating me.
I get it though, you have a reason to believe you are big time,
everywhere you go everything turns to gold for you and my friend I believe
that is great. Something however is missing from you and when I
look into your eyes Big tyme, all I see is a insecure little boy
who while being a giant of a guy, is just a little bitty child on the
inside with the chip on his shoulder the size of world. You have a lot
to prove in order to take down someone like me, and its going to take more
then your cocky attitude to counteract my cocky attitude.
To be honest
my friend I haven't heard to much about you. Only thing I know is
you and your partner beat one of my oldest enemies, Mike Zybala and you are
the Casino champion. Seeing as I hold a winning record over mike
zybala , it doesn't impress me in the least that you were able to bring the
tag championships to your camp at the expense of Mike Zybala and his
partner. You beat someone from the old guard who has passed his prime
and let his torch flame dim. You have to understand when you
aren't beating anyone of importance , and you boast about it, it makes you
look weaker and you show your flaws very easily. I know you have heard the "
you haven't beat anyone " story and Mike Zybala is no snuff, however
I don't see anyone in the business today with the ruthless disregard as the men
I faced in my day. This wont be easy for
you , I am Faster then you , more athletic than you and there are
just some mountains that even giants shouldn't attempt to climb. I
look at this as a very interesting thing seeing as you are a double
champion. This would be my time to prove that I can beat said champion
in this organization and maybe get a future championship match. I have
to give you some credit for being a double champion, then again I
don't
owe you a damn thing.
You are from
the city of champions but when I look at you Rizza I do not see a champion,
maybe one day you can become one but while my arrogance is apparent,
My arrogance comes from winning. You make your mark by putting on the
best matches and dazzling the crowd, Well I build walls and Made a
career by out performing and out wrestling the best this business had to
offer. In and out of this ring all I do is out class , out whit and
out smart my opponents. You are just simply behind the curve when it
comes to me. One thing I know thought Rizz is that this will have a
big fight style, this match will be PPV worthy because we both covet
being wrestlers overall. My second run in Boardwalk will not
be a failed experiment, It will be an exercise in futility. You
or anyone else wont stop me from becoming the best in Boardwalk and in turn
show the world that Reno Destiny has been and always will be the real deal.
This isn't
the past my friend, we are looking into the future, what I was ,
is no more. Who I am now? That's all you should be worried
about. It's Just Destiny.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us pray.
Lord I look to you for
guidance all the time, But I never thank you.
I want to give my thanks to you for every breath in my body.
for giving me the strength every day to wake up to do what I love to do.
The sins of my past you have forgiven and for this I dedicate myself to you.
I dedicate myself to the profession you have give me the gift to be apart
of.
and for the strength to persevere over my opponents.
you made me the best WRESTLER in the world once
and I thank you graciously for it.
and it is through you that I will become the best WRESTLER in the world.
Again.
Amen
