Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks' self-funded Indy wrestling event All In has been a bigger success than anyone could have ever predicted and tickets for the show in Chicago on September 1st sold out in just 30 minutes. That's incredible and a clear sign that the gap between WWE and promotions like New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor is finally beginning to become a whole lot smaller.
During a recent edition of Talk is Jericho, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks talked to Y2J about the All In event and Chris Jericho revealed how Vince McMahon reacted to the event taking place.
"Speaking about Vince [McMahon], I told Vince about All In four or five months ago," Jericho revealed to Rhodes during this podcast appearance. "We were just discussing it, shooting the breeze and I go, ‘yeah the show is in September in Chicago.’ Vince is like, ‘ah I wish they would have called me. September is the worst time of the year to promote — it’s terrible!’"
Vince obviously knows his stuff when it comes to promoting events but the fact All In sold out so quickly arguably proves that his theory was incorrect so his opinion may have changed in recent months!
