ALL IN
 

Is anyone else excited for this?
10,000 tickets sold out in less than 30 minutes, and only 1 match has been announced
rumor has it that CM punk will show up, possibly have a match

0% he will have a match

CM Punk is like the least thing I'm interested in about for the show, never been a fan of his anyway. I'd be alright if they stream the show and he's on commentary though.

His MMA fight is before this PPV right? If so, i'd give it more of a chance.

If his fight is after ALL IN, then ya. Zero chance.


I'm just annoyed they couldnt get some PPV rights going on this thing. I might have bought.

Still possible and they said they had meeting this week to talk about it. They didn't drop a new Being the Elite yesterday so they might have been busy with said meetings.

What would Punk even do? Face Okada? That I could get behind. Maybe Punk vs. Pentagon Jr. but other than that their's not much I'd like to see him do. But either of those would make up for that lack luster Magnus-Rhodes match.

Punk vs Omega would be awesome to see. Won't happen though.

Eh, that doesn't sound very interesting. Okada-Punk and Omega-Pentagon would be a sick 1-2 punch though.

I don't think you should get in your head that Punk is a lock that is just wishful thinking.

If Punk doesn't wrestle it's gonna be a garbage show

Punk wrestling would be the garbage show.

Punk comes in to work one night on the big show...hmm...sounds familiar

Honestly, if Punk were willing to work, with those tickets already sold, I don't know why you wouldn't just do an angle so you can come back and do the match.

Also, I know he has got some issues with Vince, but Punk seems the sort to make sure he gets paid a lot. I don't know why they would throw money into the dude's bank account when they didn't need to make a promise of him wrestling. They got there without him.

Really good video package

Yeah I agree. This is the way to build a promotion.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I love Cody Rhodes now. He's a main eventer now, he's a top guy.

Like many guys in WWE, he always was, just needed a chance.

He wasnt then and isnt now. Medium fish in s small pond

I haven't seen too much of Cody after WWE, but to me he feels very much "less" than he did in WWE.

He feels a lot more like he is "pretending" to be something he isn't, he doesn't seem as "real", judging by that video his gear is terrible, and all around he feels very "indie" now instead of "big league".

Fake it until you make it.

I agree w/ Ruien

I've watched a couple of those NWA 'Ten Pounds of Gold' videos now. I dig the approach they are using, a little more 'up close/grounded'. I haven't really watched the NWA product recently though, so I can't comment on the wrestling itself.

If you've watch the Ten Pounds of Gold then you've seen their product. They don't have anyone except Aldis and maybe Jocephus who has a title shot but they just go from promotion to promotion defending the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.

If they actually run AI2 at MSG this year that will be something

It would be something for sure. It would be incredible. They could run during WM week. But the downside is that they will have to pay an arm and a leg to get there. And the even bigger downside is that if they stream it, they will have to pay an arm, a leg, and some balls because it will be very expensive to shoot TV at MSG, much less rent the venue. But to be fair, smaller kickboxing and boxing shows run MSG all the time with shitty turn outs. At least ALL IN would sell out.

Cody feels like a mid-card wrestler playing main eventer.

well the end of this year some non wwe wrestling company booked msg, I don't know how they did it wcw with ted turner couldn't even do that. how did vince let that happen?

I read that it could be JCW. Juggalo Championshit Wrestling. They have a huge fanbase and a shit load of money that they suck from them. Vince doesn't have an exclusive with MSG anymore. They do a few house shows because that is a lot less expensive than the contract to broadcast from MSG. Booking Barclays is almost half as expensive as booking MSG.

It would be worth renting MSG if they were able to organize some kind of "War of the Worlds" show where they got talent from all major non WWE companies to compete in the same venue on one night. Which I guess they already do lol, but they could market it as such and try to figure some big deals to bring in.

NVM I just read that AAA is the company rumored to have a hold on MSG.

pwinsider

AAA so msg could turn into the impact zone never thought that could happen

Just from a historic nature alone, kind of crazy someone else besides WWE is going to run a show in MSG. Guess the equivalent would be if WWE ran a show today in Arena Mexico or the Tokyo Dome for how big of a deal this is.

Probably the best for Cody and ROH it wasn't them running this show since the level of pettiness and wrath from the WWE would have been a new high. Bad enough that both are pretty much on WWE's shit list (Cody for All In's success, ROH for being seen as a threat even if its just a minor one).

yeah I am thinking goldust will give curt hawlkins his 1st win in over 200 matches.

any wrestler that wrestles in this msg show will have a hard time going to the wwe any time soon.

going by keeping it 100 podcast today konan said it is some south amarican network fitting the bill for AAA doing the garden, damn good for konan.

According to Voice of Wrestling, there are rumored plans for CM Punk to be involved in All In but only in a non-wrestling role. Also are dependent on how his fight in UFC went which is why it could get shelved and why its not for a wrestling appearance.

Enzo is also rumored to be desperately trying to get booked for this show but to no success so far.

I would think that someone completely squashing Real1 would be a good layer for the show.
