[ ¤ ] STEP BY STEP
- prologue -
Anything and everything you do in life has a step by step process. Sometimes the step by step process was something small and only required two or three steps before getting what you wanted. Often times though it wasn’t that easy. Most things in life involved an elaborate step by step process before you got to where you wanted to be. That was something Damien Kingston was learning more and more every day as his quest to win the big one has led to him being on a 12 year step by step process to get there. Not exactly something he expected to take so long.
For the last year Kingston had traveled to companies such as ECWF and NLWF. In both of those companies Kingston made it known who he was and started to create a name for himself. However every time he got close to the Heavyweight Championship something prevented him from doing so. Whether it was the company closing or whether it was him getting screwed over. Never the less something prevented it and as one could imagine it didn’t make Kingston happy at any given moment it took place. It had him downright pissed off about it.
Well now that Kingston had come to Sin City Wrestling, he’s more determined than ever to make that lifetime goal become a reality. Only way to do so is by taking it step by step. His first step towards that goal was make himself known. He did that in his debut. Second step was to make sure people understood he was a forced to be reckon with and he did that in his first match. Then from there it seemed the company wanted to play games as they didn’t book him for two weeks and that’s when he took matters into his own hands.
He let it be known that he wasn’t going to be forgotten about or pushed to the side. He let it be known that he was going to achieve his goal one way or the other. He let it be known that he was determined to make it to the top and if he didn’t start getting the respect he deserved. If he didn’t get things to start working out the way he wanted then he was going to target none other than the bos himself, Matt Ward or better known as Hot Stuff. It seemed those threats were taken seriously as Kingston finds himself competing in his second match at the Summer XXXTreme II.
His opponent or as he’d put it his next victim is Casey Williams. Now Casey is a seven foot three hundred and seventy pound monster. No walk in the park by any means. Yet in the mind of Kingston there’s no giant that can’t be toppled and brought to his knees. With him being determined and with him being focused. Rest assured he’s going to do anything and everything in his power in order to bring Casey down. Will the Man of Liberty be able to pull it off? Or can Casey stop Kingston dead in his tracks? Find out for sure on August 18th at Summer XXXTreme II.
[ ¤ ] A LITTLE OF YOU, A LITTLE OF ME
- PEOPLE FEATURED: Damien Kingston, Tristian M. Kingston, & DR. Mary Johnson || DATE: August 9th, 2013 || LOCATION: NYU Langone Medical Center -
When you’re having a child every single appointment leading up to the child’s birth is important to a couple. Especially if it’s your first child. Today’s appointment for Mr. & Mrs. Damien Kingston happened to be a little more important than the ones they might face in the future. Both of them found themselves sitting in a room waiting for Tristian’s paternity physician to finally come in. Damien leaned against the wall tapping his foot against the concrete floor almost as if he was nervous about something. He happened to look over at her speaking to gain her attention.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: This is one thing I hate about doctors. They take their sweet ass fucking time before waddling on in here. It’s like they assume nobody in the world has anything else to do with their lives.
Tristian couldn’t help but smile letting out a breath full laugh as she turned to face Damien. He didn’t know why he was so nervous, it wasn’t like he was put on some sort of med bad paddle stool.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: They have other patients to you know? just because you're you, doesn’t mean you are more important than everyone else.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: I am more important than everyone else. Da fawk are you talking about woman? I’m like the most important man in the world right now.
No doubt about it Damien could be and would be egotistical every chance he got in life. That’s not to say he meant it all the time, but sometimes he did. At the current moment he was in a joking manner. However their child meant more than anyone else’s as far as he was concerned. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: If that was the case you wouldn’t even be here, lets be honest.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Har-har, smartass.
Before their discussion with each other could go any further than that. The door to the room finally came open and in stepped a woman the two of them were slightly familiar with. Based on the flew appointments before this one they had with her. Not being able to hold his tongue like he should have.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: It’s about damn time...
Tristian just gave Dame a stern look before tagging his shoulder with the back of her hand not hard just enough to let him know that was rude and she didn’t approve. He looked over at her just glaring a slight bit. He knew she didn't approve and often times it was that attitude that landed him in hot water because he didn’t know how to hold his tongue.
[ ¤ ] DR. JOHNSON: I apologize to keep the two of you waiting. Things do happen beyond our control Mr. Kingston. Never the less though, how are you Tristian?
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: Besides the slight scare we had, i’m doing pretty good.
She answered with a smile as the doctor sat at her desk and began the list of questions she needed to ask before every visit. allergies, discomfort, any abnormal eating habits, any smoking, does she feel safe at home. That one always made Tristian look at Damien with a slight smirk.
He looked at her shaking his head a little bit. It was the same look every single time and she always thought she was being sly with that smirk of hers. She just wasn’t as sly or as slick as she thought she was. That was something that was right up his alley. After the questions of the norm had finished off she looked at the two of them.
[ ¤ ] DR. JOHNSON: So, I would assume the two of you are pretty excited about today’s ultrasound?
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: No of course not, we didn’t obsess about this all week long or anything. Cause you know we’re just parents that don’t give a damn.
Again he was being rude and that had a lot to do with the fact that he hated people that asked stupid question. Always had and always will. It was just a pet peeve of his.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: Keep the attitude up, and see what happens!
her voice was very stern, one more outburst from Damien like that, she was tempted to kick him out of the room or not have the ultrasound done at all. For a second or two he just looked at her as he realized that she was being quite serious. Normally, he’d push her buttons because he could but today he wasn’t even going to attempt to go as far as he could have. He shrugged as he leaned back against the wall.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Fine Tris, fine.
Johnson rolls over in her chair to the light switch and turns it off before rolling back over to Tristian who she tells to lay back and relax as she gets the ultrasound machine ready. Tristain lifts up her shirt, before reaching her hand out to Damien to hold, they were about to see their baby for the first time, no matter how small it was.
Taking a few steps forward pushing himself off the wall. He noticed her hand out there as Damien grabbed a hold of it. He felt Tristian’s hand and fingers wrap around his with a bit of a tight grasp. Their attention turning towards the scene as the doctor seemingly had everything ready to go. Damien himself didn’t know what to expect really but he was excited.
As Johnson placed the gelled liquid scanner wand over Tristian’s slightly risen tummy, there was a few statically like sounds before a black and white image appears on the screen of a blackened area almost like a whole to cave with a single grey peanut like shape on the the side of the wall. Reaching over, the doctor turned up the volume as a single heart beat could be heard within the little room they were in.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Wow...
That’s all he could let escape his lips at the moment. Granted he wanted to say more. He was just so taken back and so excited literally he couldn’t say anything more. Never in a million years would one expect someone as tough as Damien and with his attitude would allow himself to be that shocked or that emotional over such a situation. However there was something about children that could make the toughest son of a bitch in the world weak in his knees.
He leaned in closer to get a better look at the screen with his chin resting slightly on his wife’s shoulder. Hearing the heartbeat of their unborn child just made the situation so real to him. He had accepted they were having a child before this moment, but this for whatever reason made it that much real to him. Trying to hold back what he felt like a possible tear coming on, he just smiled kissing Tris’s forehead lightly.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: Can you tell what it is yet?
[ ¤ ] DR. JOHNSON: No not yet, but from the heartbeat I can take an educated guess if you’ll like.
He looked over at Tris raising his eyebrow a little bit. Hearing those words made him want to find out what it was although they would have months to go before they’d know for sure. At the same time he didn’t want to make the entire decision.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: You know that’s something we never talked about babe. Do you want to know what it is? Or do you want to wait till he or she gets here? I’m cool with whatever, but there’s a chance what she says now is going to be wrong later.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: I know, but... I still want to know what the guess is, don’t you?
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Of course, I want to know the guess. I just wanted to make sure you didn’t want it to be a surprise or anything. You know how some people are.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: Those people, are never prepared either. So what is your educated guess?
[ ¤ ] DR. JOHNSON: DR. JOHNSON: Well, from the heartbeat alone, I can say that it is leaning towards being a Boy.
Now whether or not a man would admit it was irrelevant to this situation, but deep down inside every man wanted to have a boy. Maybe it was because they wanted someone to carry on their legacy. Maybe it was because they found boys easier to deal with. Maybe it was something completely and utterly different than a normal reason. Never the less all men wanted a boy. Damien couldn’t hold back the smirk that formed across his lips at that moment as he looked at Tris.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Educated guess or not, that’s good news right?
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: Don’t get overly excited, it’s just a guess. Though if it happens to be factual? I’m good with it.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Pfft me? Overly excited? C’mon you know me better than that.
Of course he was going to play it off like he was just making a general statement. It was the exact opposite and he was pretty sure she could look right through it. Never the less to avoid too much of the conversation his attention over to their doctor. To ask a question that he felt was important.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Now let’s say it is a boy, when are we going to be able to find out without a shadow of a doubt that’s what it’s going to be. Course, we don’t want to be unprepared or anything.
[ ¤ ] DR. JOHNSON: In about eight more weeks is when we can see the definite sex of the baby.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: That’s not too far away really, especially when time seemingly flies by.
Little did he realize he was giving himself a way majorly as he was all smiles over the news. Granted it was just an educated guess. It didn’t change the fact that he had tricked himself into believing no matter what in eight weeks they’d find out they were going to be having a boy for sure. The doctor began to put her things away giving Tristian a towel to clean off her tummy with.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: I guess we should start picking out names, that should be fun.
Sitting up she put her shirt down knowing that no matter what their baby was going to have some comic book themed name there was no doubt about that.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Bruce Wade if it’s a boy. There’s no arguments on that one. I win. Nothing like combining Batman with Deadpool. It’s an automatic win.
For a second or two Tristian looked at him like she was going to respond, but she knew this was going to be an argument that he was going to lose. She slightly shook her head and decided to remain quiet in the matter.
[ ¤ ] DR. JOHNSON: Alright then folks, I'll go set up the paper work for your next scheduled appointment and then you'll be on your way.
[ ¤ ] TRISTIAN KINGSTON: Thank you.
With that being said their doctor excused herself giving them a few moments of privacy. Those few moments was used up when Damien helped her up off the table as the two of them locked lips in a passionate kiss. Obviously this baby was bringing them closer and closer together. More than they ever expected. They had several more months to go but judging by the love they shared for each other and the overall excitement for the baby meant they'd be perfect parents in the future.
[ ¤ ] STATUE OF KINGSTON
- PEOPLE FEATURED: Damien Kingston || DATE: August 10th, 2013 || LOCATION: Statue of Liberty -
Today we were reporting live from New York City, New York. The home city of the Man of Liberty, Damien Kingston. However the setting for what was about to take place was out of the norm but not only was it out of the norm. It was downright historic. Our cameras revealed that they were standing right inside the Statue of Liberty. With that being said it didn’t take long at all for Damien Kingston to find himself standing in the cameras view. That smirk featured and all he looked directly at the cameras in order to begin speaking out loud and grabbing the attention of all the viewers that would eventually end up seeing this video.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: The Statue of Liberty stands for freedom. It stands for honor. It stands for respect. It stands for liberty. All for this great country that we live in. Because of what this statute means. Because of the story behind it. Because of how it effects this great nation. People don’t even think about questioning the Statue of Liberty. People don’t even think about disrespecting the Statue of Liberty. People don’t even think about crossing a line that is determined unhonorable. And to be honest that’s the way it should be.
There was a small pause on the end of Kingston, letting people take what he said into account.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: But this is what confuses the hell out of me and this is what pisses me off. I am the Man of Liberty to the world of Professional Wrestling. All I want is to bring respect, honor, and liberty back into the business that I love. I want to make the business mean something again. I want this business to mean exactly what it was meant to mean before people started to deface it, disrespect it, and show no honor towards it. Yet even though that’s my goal to avenge the business I love. You people don’t show me the same respect that you would show the Statue of Liberty.
Now this is where things would begin to set people off and set them off in a big way. For Kingston to stand there and imply that who he was and what he was doing for the wrestling business equaled to what the Statute of Liberty stood for was uncalled for and completely out of line - not to mention disrespectful.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: What I am attempting to do is no different than what the Statue of Liberty stands for. Yet I hear the boos. I hear the sly comments. I hear the disrespect. To be quite honest I’ve fucking had it. Because what I am and what I am doing is no different. It’s the right thing to do. I will not stop doing the right thing. I will not stop avenging this business until I have brought it to where it needs to be and until the respect, honor, and liberty has been restored back into the business. You can boo me. You can chant things at me. You can hate me all you want but it won’t change a damn thing.
He simply shook his head from one side to the other. In his mind there was nothing that anyone could say or do to him to derail the mission that he was on. Granted it was a mission that had purpose but the way he went about it was all wrong and that’s what people mostly agreed on.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Which brings me to Sin City Wrestling. It would appear to me that Hot Stuff: Mark Ward and Christian aren’t too pleased with the way I carry myself, with the way I do business, and with the things that I have said. Quite honestly, I don’t care what they are or aren’t pleased with because as I just got done saying. I won’t change who I am or how I do business in the least bit. However it would seem to me they didn’t like my most recent comments at Climax Control. Thus why they have booked me against the Seven Foot Three Hundred and Seventy Pound Monster that is the Freight Train of Pain, Casey Williams!
No doubt Casey was big. He was tall. He was a powerhouse. He was a monster and he was someone that brought the pain. That alone was enough to make people fear him and want to run away in the opposite direction. Thing was Kingston was not like that and he never had been nor will he ever be.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: I’m not too sure what their goal was by booking Casey and I against each other, but if it had anything to do with scaring me. If it had anything to do with striking fear into me. If it had anything to do with attempting to make me piss my pants due to being afraid. Well, then allow me to go ahead and put it out there right now. I’m not afraid. I’m not scared. I never will fear anyone especially someone like Casey Williams. There’s no need to be afraid in my opinion.
Kingston still had that arrogant smirk featured as he simply shrugged his shoulders seemingly without a care in the world over the matter at hand.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: You can be bigger than me. You can be stronger than me. You can be this freak of nature. But you know the one thing you’ll never be Casey? You won’t be smarter than me and you sure as hell won’t ever be better than me. I am a professional wrestler. I know all the tricks and trades of the business. If I can’t beat you one way. You can bet your jolly green ass I can find about three to five other ways to beat you. That proves just how smart I am. That proves how much better I am than you. Of course though, I’m not an idiot. I know that everything I am saying is going to go in one ear and out the other.
Most of his opponents in the past didn’t pay attention to anything that he had to say. They all thought he was full of hot hair. They all thought that he was full of shit. They all thought he just talked to talk, but in the end they ended up suffering for their thought process. That very well could be the case this time around.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: That’s when I am sure you’ll take the time to point every little accomplishment you’ve ever had in this business. Accomplishments that virtually mean nothing at all. Because it’s been so long since you’ve done anything worth mentioning. On top of all that it wasn’t like the small bit you have accomplished was worth anything at all. Now don’t get me wrong I am sure it’s going to piss you off that I disrespected anything and everything you ever achieved, but that’s what I do. That’s who I am. I don’t respect those that aren’t as good as me. I don’t respect those that disrespect me. You don’t have to like it but you do have to deal with it!
He let out this sarcastic little chuckle escape his lips. Clearly Kingston didn’t think very highly of Casey in the least bit. That wouldn’t go over well with the Giant himself, but obviously the Man of Liberty had no fear of where his comments could end up landing him in a week’s time.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: Then when you realize that won’t work. You’ll go the ever so typical big man monster routine. You’ll talk about destroying me. You’ll talk about ripping me apart. You’ll talk about causing me pain. It’ll be the only thing you’ve got to go off of and the only thing that you’ll have to stand on. But honestly where is that going to get you when the reality sinks in that I’ve done said that I already have three to five other ways to beat you? Where does that get you when it sinks in that I’m not afraid of you or anything that you intend on doing? And what happens when the dirty work Ward and Christian sent you to do to me blows up in your face?
Kingston stood there tapping his chin while looking at the cameras. It was like he was expecting an answer that he knew he wouldn’t get at the very moment, and an answer he already felt he had. The one he was going to reveal to everyone.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: I’ll tell you what happens Casey. You’ll have your ass handed to you on a silver platter. You’ll virtually have no chance against me. You’ll learn the lesson that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. You’ll also learn that doing people’s dirty work never works out for you and it sure as hell doesn’t work out for them. You might try your hardest, but ultimately in the end Casey. I’m going to take you down. I’m going to beat you and I’m going to make you my personal bitch. Nothing you do or say will change the outcome of what is bound to happen. Again, you don’t have to like it but you do have to deal with it. Them are the breaks junior!
That seemed to be a common thing with Kingston. He believed that he was that good that anything he said and anything he aimed to do was going to happen. People couldn’t change it and couldn’t stop him. They had the right to not like it but it was something they had to accept because nothing else would change.
[ ¤ ] DAMIEN KINGSTON: By the time that I’m done with Casey. By the time that I go through everyone else that Ward and Christian throw at me. By the time I’ve made it to the top of the SCW Mountain and by the time I’m standing in the middle of the ring with the SCW Heavyweight Championship held high above my head. Sin City Wrestling is going to want and need to put the Statue of Kingston aka the Man of Liberty right outside their main office in Vegas. Because after all let’s face it? I’m the greatest thing that has ever stepped foot in this company!
Letting those words escape his mouth, Kingston stood there looking at the cameras with the said smirk for a short amount of time. He had said what he needed to say. He had said what he felt had importance and what was going to get the point across he wanted to get across. That’s when the camera view changed to a different camera that was on the ground looking right up at the Statue of Liberty. It got the Statute in all it’ beauty before the cameras faded to all black leaving people wondering and waiting what was going to happen when these two forces met in the middle of the ring at Summer XXXTreme II.
