The next few weeks are going to be pretty exciting for wrestling fans around the world with two of the most anticipated wrestling events of the summer. If you haven't guessed already, we are talking about ALL IN and SummerSlam 2018. While both these events won't be going head to head as they aren't going to be held on the same day, both these event have generated buzz among the wrestling fans all over the world.

ALL IN has specifically been making the right noises in the wrestling circles. The event which is self-financed by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Cody (Rhodes) is going to feature the who's who of the current independent wrestling circuit and promises to something special. SummerSlam, on the other hand, has had a decent amount of buzz around majorly due to the fact that it is a WWE event and the SummerSlam brand but the build-up to the event has been average at best. The current Card for the event is as exciting as the WWE Universe would've hoped it to be.

While a comparison between ALL IN and SummerSlam would've been ludicrous just a few months ago, the current scenario has prompted us to come up with this list where are we are going to look at three reasons why ALL IN is going to be a better show than SummerSlam 2018.

So, Let's get started.

# 3 Broadcast Team

The WWE Commentary has been facing a lot of flak from the WWE universe over the past few months. Fans have been pointing to the numerous botches made by the current broadcast team of RAW and SmackDown every week with. Booker T, in particular, has come under severe attack from the WWE universe for fumbling lines and saying nonsensical things multiple times on Live TV. (H/T- Wrestling New.co)

The only shining armor in WWE's Current Broadcast team has been Corey Graves but even he is not prone to fumbling lines and mispronouncing words on Live TV. Additionally, his constant bickering with his fellow Commentators is becoming too much to take.

On the other hand, Don Callis is currently one of the best color commentators in the world today. He has been a revelation in the commentary booth and along with Kevin Kelly is largely responsible for New Japan doing so well outside their home turf. His chemistry with Kelly is amazing and together they are a treat to listen to. Joining Callis at the Commentary booth in Chicago will be Ian Riccaboni who is well known for handling commentary duties in Ring of Honor and Excalibur, who is the play-by-play announcer for Pro Wrestling Guerilla. With such talent and gifted men on the mic, ALL IN certainly trumps SummerSlam in the commentary department.

# 2 Fan Excitement

The thumb of any wrestling event is to get the fans excited for the event as in the end it's the fans who ultimately decide the fate of a show. A Sell-out crowd reacting positively to the match is a clear indication that the event is a huge success whereas a half-empty arena with a dead crowd means that the event has failed to deliver.

ALL IN has generated an unprecedented amount of buzz among the fans so much so that the tickets for the 10,000 seater event were sold out in less than half an hour. If this isn't an indication of the excitement among the fans about ALL IN, we don't what is. Cody and The Young Bucks have been tirelessly promoting the event where since they officially announced the show last year.

While a full house is expected at SummerSlam on August 19th given the brand that SummerSlam is, the card for the event is quite uninspiring and the level of excitement isn't what is expected of an event of the stature of SummerSlam, which is the company's biggest event during Summer.

# 1 Stacked Card

The Main card of SummerSlam this year is one of the weakest in the event's history. With matches like Finn Balor Vs Baron Corbin, Seth Rollins Vs Dolph Ziggler and most importantly the never-ending feud between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns taking center stage on August 19 and with stars like The Undertaker, John Cena, Dean Ambrose and Triple H set to miss the event , this one might turn out to be one of the dullest SummerSlams in recent memory.

The WWE machinery has been trying their best to hype the event but the unexciting card isn't helping things at all.

On the other hand, ALL IN has a stacked card which includes all the major stars of the independent wrestling circuit. Names like Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi, Rey Mysterio and Kenny Omega has already been announced for the show and every other week a slew of matches are being announced for the event that is going to take place on September 1st.

A number of high profile match profile matches have already been announced for the show including the NWA World Heavyweight Championship match between Current Champion Nick Aldis and one of the promoters of the show, Cody. This show will also have an ROH World Championship which will see Jay Lethal defending his title against the winner of ALL IN OVER BUDGET Battle Royale which will be taking in ALL IN ZERO HOUR. In addition to that, the event will also see Kazuchika Okada and Marty Scrull facing off against one other in a single match for the very first time and The Golden Elite (Young Bucks and Kota Ibushi) locking horns with Rey Mysterio, Fenix, and Bandido in a Six-man Tag team match. With such high Calibre matches, ALL IN promises to be one of the greatest nights in wrestling history.
