"Welcome everyone to the ACW Odyssey's countdown show. We have a crowd right behind us in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, but in twenty four hours we'll be in Madison Square Garden for ACW Odyssey. The crowd tonight is waiting for an eight man battle royal where the winner will either be the final man in Odyssey if Ash loses or an ACW Wildcard Championship next week if Ash wins. Also tonight, Ash Russo and Roman McIntyre will give their final words." David Harkness said. "But before we get to the match, we will be analyzing all five matches and making predictions while talking about the fans predictions as well. First, let me introduce the panel. First, please welcome, Insider Radio host…. Freddy Alvarez."
'What. Is. Up?! It is your favorite Wrestling radio host, Freddy "The D Writer" Alvarez! The D stands for Dy-No-Mite!"
"YOU SUCK!" Chants the Staples Center in Los Angeles at him.
"D stands for Dummy." Papa Hawk said to a massive pop.
"Not waiting for his cue, please welcome the owner of the Papa Hawk Agency and soon to be married again…. Papa Hawk. How are you doing tonight?" David Harkness said.
"I'm still pissed at my dummy of a son and his little girlfriend for ruining my mama's family BBQ!" He says. "Plus they cheated to get to this show, and I'll beat him with my belt the next time I see him!"
"I recall your team trying to cheat and having it backfire." David Harkness mentions.
"It's not cheating! It's playing by Papa Hawk's rules! My son is the cheater just like several of my exes!"
"I personally view CJ Hawk as a good pure wrestler. I've never seen him cheat at all in his career. Anyways, we have a third member to this panel. Please welcome the host of TMZ, Kiran Satin." David Harkness said.
"Hi guys! I'm so excited to finally be on ACW TV! I'm even wearing my favorite Jason Sabre shirt!" Kiran Satin points at his 'Go Ace' shirt.
"Don't let Detrick Cyrus or my former partner, Evan Neal, see that." David Harkness said.
"Those two are meanies." Kiran states.
"Why is he on this show?" Freddy Alvarez asked.
"It's a part of the deal where Detrick Cyrus will be interviewed on TMZ." David Harkness explains. "Anyways, before we start analyzing the show, we have a special Countdown show match. A battle royal where the winner will either, be the the last entrant in the Odyssey match if Ash Russo does not win tonight or will receive a ACW Wildcard Championship match is Ash Russo does win." David Harkness said. "Let's go to the ring, where the participants are waiting for the bell to ring."
We cut to the ring where Furno Moxley, Aiden Black, Mason Rivers, Eliza Bourne, Asher Darma, Lei Hedad, Mei Wu Long and Brandon Duke are all waiting. The bell rings and they all pair off into four different matches. Brandon Duke goes straight for Furno Moxley, who was across from him. Lei Hedad goes for Eliza Bourne, her rival. Aiden Black goes for Asher Darma. This leaves Mason Rivers and Mei Wu Long. Mason decides to flex his right arm. "Did someone order so teriyaki beef with that chow mei?" Mason weirdly tries to hit on her. Mei then slaps him across the face. We cut back to Furno laying in some punches on Brandon Duke with Furno's momentum backing Duke into the ropes. Furno then tries to pick Brandon up so he can throw him over the ropes. Mei Wu Long throws Mason over the ropes and onto the ring apron, but doesn't eliminate him. Mei tries push him off, but quickly gives up, before walking over to Furno (Who's right next to them) so she can help him eliminate Duke. Brandon is quick to punch Furno and then push Mei away, but he isn't out of trouble yet. Aiden Black runs over and dropkicks Brandon, while Mason Rivers pulls down the top rope from the ring apron! Duke falls out of the ring.
"WHAT?! I HATE MASON!" Papa Hawk is heard yelling
Mason quickly slips inside of the ring as Aiden helps Furno up. The two talk for a second, before locking eyes on Mei Wu Long. The two pick Mei up and throw her over the top rope. Mei nearly touches the floor, but holds onto the top rope. But Furno Moxley quickly kicks her hands, forcing her to let go and be eliminated. Furno and Aiden exchange glances before looking at Eliza Bourne who is hanging upside down on the ring apron, trying to headscissor Lei out. The two men walk over and each grab one of Lei's legs to assist Eliza in eliminating her. Elizas gets up on the ring apron and notices the Hounds of Justice right in front of her. She gulps, but Asher Darma gets in the way. 'Wait a minutes my friends who are also the dogs. She is a lady.' Asher tries to defend, before Furno Moxley gives Asher a right hand and casually tosses him out. While this is happening Eliza tries to sneak in, but eats a Superkick from Aiden Black. Furno turns back to Eliza and Aiden. Aiden picks Eliza up and throws her over the top rope onto the ground.
Furno and Aiden look at each other, before noticing Mason Rivers at a distance with a nervous look. 'Guys… we can talk about this.' Mason tries to negotiate. Furno takes a step closer
…
then Aiden grabs him by the back of the head and throws Furno out. Moxley is in a state of shock as Aiden says 'Every man for himself' before turning around into a New Belief (Boston Knee Party) that sends Aiden over the top rope and onto the floor, winning Mason the match, to the crowds shock
"What an upset. Mason Rivers is either going to ACW Odyssey or getting a Wildcard Championship match" David Harkness comments as we cut back to the panel
"Brandon was screwed. That boy Mason got lucky. He probably shoved seven horseshoes up his ass before the match. This should be thrown out. Someone suspend him. Duke should've won!" Papa Hawk rants
"What about Asher Darma?" David Harkness asked
"Oh yeah… him too." Papa Hawk said
"I'm happy that Mason won." Kiran Satin applauds. "Good for him."
"Only one person has that thought and of course it's you." Freddy Alvarez comments.
"Anyways gentlemen, the opening match of Odyssey is Katashi Suzuki versus Jason Sabre for the ACW Wildcard Championship. Let's take a look at the Analysis…."
Fan Bets: 77.8 Percent think Jason Sabre will win. 22.2 Percent that Katashi Suzuki
Height and Weight: Jason and Suzuki are both 6 Feet, but Jason has a five pound advantage at 235.
Style: Jason Sabre wants a slow place and is going to play a chess match. Katashi Suzuki, according to Evan Neal plans to torture Jason slowly as well.
Records: Katashi Suzuki has never had a match. Jason Sabre's season 3 record is 3-1 with a 2 match win streak (14-4 overall)
Strength: Katashi Suzuki according to Evan Neal
Speed: Jason Sabre
Agility: Jason Sabre
Strikes: EVEN but leaning towards Sabre.
Ring IQ: Jason Sabre
"So Jason Sabre is the heavy favorite in the eyes of the fans and the Analysis. What are your thoughts, comments and predictions in the match." David Harkness asked. "Personally, I think Jason Sabre will find a way to chop Suzuki down and retain. Jason Sabre beat Azriel so he has experience in outlasting brutes and tolerating pain. I think Jason will do the same here. Any thoughts Kiran Satin?"
"Jason Sabre is such a hero to me and I really can't wait to see him overcome that evil bully!" Kiran says like a child.
"Sabre has been smart by getting that title off of that big dummy CJ, but this time, he's just as big of a dummy as he is!" He says. "Everyone knows Sabre, even Neal and Suzuki! No one knows who that Japanese guy is, so there's nothing for Jason to go off of!"
"Listen, Jason might have all the fan support of the children, women, the wrestlers, and just about everyone else in the world….but I don't support anyone this piece of trash beside me does, and for that reason alone, he is gonna lose." Freddy Alvarez said looking right at Kiran Satin.
"I think you're letting your unexplained hate of Kiran Satin get in the way of your logical thinking." David Harkness said. "Papa Hawk, do you have an opinion on this match?"
"Whoever wins better go for that ACW World Title soon, cause if not, that guy has to deal with me and my agency!" He says with a smile
"Your agency hasn't been doing so well." David Harkness said
"Watch your mouth before you feel my belt!" He threatens
"Sorry sir. Now, moving on to Flynn Horde vs Detrick Cyrus. Let's look at the Analysis." David Harkness said.
Fan bets: 55.6 % think Detrick Cyrus will win. 44.4% think Flynn Horde will win. This is a close call for the fanbases.
Height and Weight: Both stand at 6 feet with Flynn having a two pound advantage at 225.
Records: Detrick Cyrus is 4-0 this Season (15-9 overall and on a 4 match win Streak). He has the most wins in ACW History. Flynn Horde has a 1-0 record this season (5-0 overall, 5 match streak).
Match Style: Detrick is going to cheat probably. Flynn Horde is going to keep it short and hit his moves in quick succession for an early win.
Strength: Detrick Cyrus is favored
Speed: Detrick by a small Margin
Agility: Detrick Cyrus
Strikes: Flynn Horde
Ring IQ: Detrick Cyrus is given the edge
"Okay, this is going to be interesting as Flynn Horde is going to attempt to end it early. He hasn't been the type of competitor who goes to the distance. I think if he can do that, we'll be crowning a new ACW World Champion." David Harkness said. "Kiran Satin, who do you see winning?"
"Well, Detrick has been such a baddie lately that I can't stand him anymore. I threw away all my t-shirts and ripped down all my posters. I bought all of Flynn's merch and am fully behind him in this match." Kiran "aggressively" says.
"I remember when marks were only allowed in the crowd." Freddy Alvarez said.
"Detrick Cyrus could be like the son I wish I had instead of CJ! He beat the guy that dummy could never beat, Roman McIntyre, which automatically makes him better than CJ and my pick to win here! Do me proud, Detrick, and I might let you intern for my Agency!" Papa Hawk cheers.
"Detrick leads Hope, which your son is apart of. Why would he need to be an intern for your lesser agency?" Asked David Harkness
"Any person that employs my dummy of a son is still a dummy. And what the hell is Hope anyway!?" Papa Hawk questions.
"An organization formed by the late Rey Pantera Sr that Detrick Cyrus took over." David Harkness explained. "Now, Freddy, what are your thoughts on this match? Are you team Flynn or Team Detrick? And also, if Jason retains tomorrow. How will that affect the winner of this match?"
"Flynn Hooooooooorde! Listen, Detrick may be the leader of Hope. He may be the World Champion. He may be one of 2 people to beat Jason Sabre….but ultimately, I think that Flynn has every advantage going into this match: His record is spotless, 5 wins and no losses. He's undefeated. On top of that, Jason Sabre is a close friend and stablemate of Flynn and I guarantee you that Jason has given him any advice on how to handle Detrick Cyrus." Freddy Alvarez said
"Yeah! Go Flynn! I'm glad we finally agreed on something. Give me five buddy!" Kiran Satin holds his hand out only for Freddy to ignore him.
"We seem to be mainly going for Flynn, but Detrick Cyrus is a crafty man. We have to take a short ad break, but wre will be back." David Harkness said
(Ad Break)
"Welcome back. Next on the card is Wei Wu Long vs Rey Aguayo in Fight Without Honor 5. Let's look at the Analysis." David Harkness said
Fan Bets: 88.9 Percent heavily favor Rey Aguayo over the 11.1 percent that favor Wei Wu Long
Height and Weight: Rey has a one inch advantage over Wei at 6'4 and weighs less than him at 240 to Wei Wu Long's 243.
Records: Rey Aguayo is 7-2 overall while Wei's debut season sees him at 1-1.
Match Style: This is going to be brawl for both
Strength: Rey Aguayo edges it out
Speed: We'll give it to Wei
Agility: It's about even
Strikes: Wei Wu Long
Ring IQ: Who knows?
"The fans are heavily favoring Rey Aguayo, but this match is going to be more of a fight. Rey Aguayo is fighting for his grandma in the hospital. While Wei is fighting for his family in general. This is going to be violent, but it's also been labeled the Desperados last stand. Rey Aguayo is leaving ACW regardless of what happens" David Harkness said.
"That Wei guy seems like a big bully. I don't like him as ACW Factions Champion either." Kiran Satin said.
"Lemme tell you dummies about the time I went to the Three Streets of Chinatown! It was back in ancient China: 1975! Papa Hawk was a slick pimp and didn't have a dummy named CJ for a son because I never laid this pipe down on his mama yet! So I'm walking through the big streets of Chinatown and I came up on this intersection called Wei Town, Wu Tang, & Shu Hoe! Those streets had some Chinese food, and Papa Hawk was a hungry pimp back then, ya hear me? And since I didn't have a dummy named CJ yet, I was BIG pimpin with the money! So I went to the Chinese restaurants on each street to eat like a pimp! Lemme tell ya, the Wu Tang food had some dry ass orange chicken! Drier than CJ's mama after giving birth to that dummy! The Shu Hoe was aight, but that place was full of hoes only after my money! The Wei Town….that place was SHMACKIN! It was so good I had to slap somebody's mama! And I did! So because of how SHMACKIN that food was on Wei Town, Imma go with Wei Wu Long!" Papa Hawk explains
"Smacking mama's are wrong." Kiran Satin said.
"Dis boy ain't right." Papa Hawk said.
"You're telling me." Freddy Alvarez rolls his eyes at the sight of Kiran Satin. "Back to the match. I think the crowd is underestimating Wei. Rey is a proven commodity because he had a whole season where he was the guy who the pins in Factions title match. He's also more hood than most people-"
"Not me." Papa Hawk said.
"Sure. But I think Wei Wu Long is going to shock the world." Freddy Alvarez said.
"No! Rey's going to pummel that guy. Really badly too." Kiran Satin said
"I'd pummel you if I didn't sign that contract to prevent fighting between us." Freddy Alvarez threatened.
"Thank god, that I don't have to call that nightmare of a match." David Harkness chips in. "But I am honored to call the next match that we're discussing. Possibly the biggest possible match we can bring to you. Ash Russo versus Roman McIntyre, but before we take talk about it, let's head to ringside where we have a special return."
In the Constitution there's no power of a throne
It makes government one that the people make and own
With three separate branches so that no one can control
They all work together to make justice the main goal
As the crowd dies a death at the sound of In the Constitution by Barbara Speicher, a hint of confusion also fills the Staples Center. Then boos at the sight of Rayleen Barnett. Rayleen walks down the ramp with a cocky smirk on her face, before walking up the steps. She enters the ring and asks for a microphone. She gets one
"You thought I was done, didn't you? Well guess what? Rayleen is back!" She announces to barely a reaction.
Money and the power
Once you get a 'lil they just want to take you down (cause)
I got the money and the power
Once you get a 'lil they just want to take you down (cause)
Roman McIntyre marches down to the ring. He is dressed in black slacks with a Gray Shirt that features his logo and has the words 'Kill in Silence, Make them feel your Violence' on the front. He also had Adidas Ultra 4D Shoes on. He slides into the ring and immediately Silent Kill's (Spear) Rayleen to a massive pop. He then picks her up and throws her outside. Roman picks up the microphone.
"I'm not much of a talker. I'm really not. Ash has this plan to brainwash me like he brainwashed a lot of you. I'm not drinking your kool-aid Ash. The world will change. But it's not because of you. It's because of Aldo Montoya. Here's the game plan, Ash. I'm going to walk down the aisle at Madison Square Garden and I'm going to hurt you. I'm going to hurt you and leave you so torn up, that you might need to put that mask back on. The only change that'll happen on Sunday is that Ash Russo will never be heard from again." Roman McIntyre states, before throwing down the mic and marching out of the ring, not taking in the mixed reaction. We fade away.
(Ad Break)
"Welcome back. Roman said his final words before the break and in a few minutes Ash Russo will close the show with his via satellite. All eyes are on Ash Russo vs Roman McIntyre. Let's take a look at the analysis of this match." David Harkness said.
Fan bets: It's a legitimate 50-50 split between Ash Russo and Roman McIntyre.
Height and Weight: Roman stands at 6'6, towering over a 6'0 Ash Russo. He also weighs 275 pounds against Ash's 220. Roman is also much more muscular than Ash.
Records: Roman McIntyre is 2-1 this season with a 12-3 record. This is Ash Russo's first match of the season, but overall he's 7- 4
Match Style: Ash Russo is really quick and will rely on that. Although he's surprisingly strong, it'll be useless against Roman. Roman will keep things Hard hitting and will likely be dominating a majority with his explosive nature.
Strength: Roman McIntyre
Speed: Ash Russo
Agility: Ash Russo
Strikes: Roman McIntyre
Ring IQ: Hard to tell as Ash seems erratic, even though he's clearly thought this out. One should expect both to have emotions run wild and cloud their judgement throughout the match.
"Roman is like the son I wish my baby mama birthed. Any man that can beat that dummy CJ every day will ALWAYS have my vote! Ash Risotto, or whoever, don't stand no chance. He gonna get whooped just as bad as I beat CJ with my Big Pimpin' Belt!." Papa Hawk shows off the belt.
"Roman has turned into a real jerk since he met Montoya. I'm glad Ash is back and he is on the side of good! I support Ash Russo all the way!" Kiran Satin cheers.
"Listen Satin, Roman McIntyre is built like a greek god. You're telling me that Ash actually has a chance against him?" Freddy Alvarez argues.
"Ash has heart!" Kiran Satin argues.
"His heart is going to get ripped out by Roman." Freddy Alvarez shoots back.
"Oh….that's not good." Kiran Satin said.
"Hopefully, for the children that will be watching, that won't happen. Anyways the big match of Roman McIntyre versus Ash Russo isn't even the main event. The main event is the Odyssey match. Two people start. Every four minutes, another person enters. The only way to be eliminated is by pinfall or Submission. This match is guaranteed to go forty eight minutes. I would hate to be number one or two. Let's take a look on what our Analysis says." David Harkness said
Odyssey Fan Picks
Ash Russo is number one with 33. 3 %
CJ Hawk is second at 23.3%
Freddy Escobar & Raptor Reigns at 16.7%
Alexis Espinoza at 10%
Everyone else at 0%
Our Analysis
Sofia Reynoso is heavily favored to win this match
Raptor Reigns is the Dark horse to win
If Detrick Cyrus, Erin Frost or CJ Hawk comes out last or at a later point, they'll win.
Alexis Guerrero is being looked at to have a star making performance tonight. We'll see if she can deliver and become a big name.
Jason Sabre might be able to pull it off if he retains tonight, but his chances are slim
"Who the hell rigged this!?" Papa Hawk yells to someone offscreen. "What dummies thought that that bigger dummy, CJ, would have a chance!? If it wasn't for that cheating, fiance assaulting, family BBQ ruining...tall dummy Erin Frost, neither of them would be in Odyssey! So lemme tell you dummies something...CJ is getting eliminated FIRST, because CJ is too much of a dummy to last long in any main event! Ask that...tall side piece with him!"
"I am going for either CJ Hawk or Erin Frost! I think it would be a nice wedding gift if one of them wins. Gee, I hope it doesn't come down to them. I do hope they defeat any evil people in the match. Gosh, I love a happy ending and I hope these two get it!" Kiran Satin says.
"Listen, I think that Sofia Reynoso might actually win." Freddy Alvarez said.
"She's taken from what I heard." David Harkness said.
"I change my vote to Raptor Reigns." Freddy Alvarez quickly said.
"Well, personally I'd like to think that Flynn has a chance if he beats Detrick earlier as he has a lot of momentum behind him, but Sofia Reynoso is a great pick to win this." David Harkness said. "I would like to thank all three of you for joining me tonight for this panel. Let's send it to Ash Russo, who is going to give his final words, before ACW Odyssey."
We cut to Ash Russo sitting at a table in a correction facility in a handcuff and an orange jumpsuit, as if he was a prisoner.
"Greetings citizens of the United States and the world. My name is Ash Russo. Currently prisoner number 49691231."
Ash Russo said, looking down at his cuffed hands.
"Is this all that's left for me in life? To be a number. To be considered the bad guy by the history books, because I am in jail and Aldo Montoya is possibly the next President of a country that runs on corruption. Tomorrow I have to fight for my freedom. A freedom that was taken away from me, not because of anything I did. But I was abducted and now bear the symbol of a Child of Despair. The cuffs on my wrists are no different from the cuffs that every middle class citizen in this country metaphorically has around them. The American Dream? That's propaganda. We all can only go so far by doing the right thing. The narrative in Aldo's mind is that I'm going to stop him from being President. And you're right…."
Ash looks up.
"I will. I have the power. To you I am an Anarchist that's trying to cause mayhem. And you'd be right again. Because I am. I need to destroy people like you. Because people like you, take advantage of people like me. I, as a teenager, became a weapon in order for your son to become President. The court ruled against that allegation, because corruption is around from the tippy top of the system to the bottom. I knew he'd walk away with his nose clean. But we all know the truth. I lived it. This Sunday, you want to put me to rest but you won't. Roman doesn't believe in my vision, even though he knows that deep down inside- he's on the wrong team. He knows that he sold his soul. Roman sold his soul for you Aldo, but I will sell my life so this country can become better. So that's what I'm going to do. This Sunday, I'll put my life on the line. I don't have millions of dollars to pay for bail or a good lawyer. If I lose, I will rot in a jail cell because of a corrupt judge. Two weeks ago when I was arrested, I only had a dime in my pocket because that's all I have left. I am putting everything on the line this Sunday for Change. And after Sunday, I'm going to get that dime back."
