Last month, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks took the world by storm by officially announcing their self-founded independent wrestling event named "All-In" being held September 1st. When long-time wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer was asked if ROH could sell out a 10 k arena, he replied: " Not anytime soon". This prompted 'The American Nightmare' to reply with the following “I already gave [Ring Of Honor] their biggest [PPV] butyrate…put The Bucks & I on the card & 3 months to promote.”
Which brings us to where we are right now, With the multiple members of the Bullet Club, Stephen Amell and Tessa Blanchard announced. Let's get into who I think would be great additions to the event on September 1st.
#5.) Kota Ibushi
in July of 2008, a Young Kenny Omega started his first Japanese tour with a promotion called DDT pro-wrestling. There he quickly became friends with a Japanese wrestler named Kota Ibushi. While the team disbanded and went their separate ways, due to Kenny Omega wanting to stay in the junior heavyweight division and Kota Ibushi wanting to move onto the heavyweight division. Although the team didn't end on bad terms, with Kenny Omega joining the Bullet club it wasn't believed that the Golden Lovers would team up again.
Fast forward to 2018, Cody Rhodes is feuding with Kota Ibushi while there is dissection within the club. While it has been announced that Kenny Omega will face Cody at SuperCard of Honor during Wrestlemania Weekend, having a Golden Lovers reunion at the "All-in" event would be a fantastic addition to the card and a great step forward in the dissection of the Bullet Club Story.
#4.) Austin Aries
Who other to have wrestle on "All-in" than the greatest man who ever lived, Austin Aries. Aries currently holds the Impact World championship, IPW World championship, Defiant World Championship, and WSW championship. Since being released from the WWE in September, Aries has been on a tear winning championships at almost every promotion he has stepped in. With a rivalry with Marty Scrull at Defiant Wrestling, a rematch between these two would be a great match for the crowd and having Aries defend one of his championships would be a great layer to add to "All-In" Card!
#3.) Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler has been a main stay for WWE for quite some time, constantly doing whatever is asked of him by the company. Throughout his tenure with the company, Dolph has put over multiple Superstars and has watched multiple Superstars come into the company and get a better position than him within months. Dolph Ziggler works his butt off every single night that he steps into that ring only to grab one of Vince McMahon's imaginary brace rings. One of these days, Dolph is going to get tired of not being able to reach any higher in the company and might test his luck elsewhere. The question remains could it be as soon as September 1st?
Being able to score Ziggler for the "All-In" event would be a tremendous addition to the card. Ziggler has shown he can steal the show on any given night under the WWE banner. Imagine what this man could do without any handcuffs, without anyone scripting his lines or telling him what to say. If Ziggler is really as good as he says he is, maybe he should make that jump and see if he could help sell out a 10 k arena.
#2.) Hulk Hogan
Surprised to see him on the list Brother? Released from WWE in 2015 due to racist slurs used in a released sex tape. Hulk Hogan has mostly been out the wrestling business since the sex tape scandal happened. Last year, Hogan was asked if he would ever join the Bullet club.
Hogan Responded by saying “I would love to be in The Bullet Club. I’d love to be the OG for The Bullet Club.” Hogan then added “Teach Dem boys how to really get corrupt!”.
Hogan reinstated what he said last year only a few weeks ago by saying "I'm about ready to jump on a plane and fly to Japan and get involved with that Bullet Club, man. I'm so excited about those kids."
To me, It sure seems like Hulk Hogan is ready to cause some more chaos. So why not do the big reveal at "All-In"? Adding Hogan to the Bullet club during the time period where Bullet club is having a civil war would be a smart move. Someone who has been through the same thing with NWO and WolfPac, Is Hulk Hogan the one to talk some sense into Kenny Omega and Cody?
#1.) Cm Punk
Who else did you expect to be number 1 on this list? While a venue hasn't been announced yet for "All-In", There's been a lot of speculation of it being in the Windy City Chicago. Who better to get than 'The best in the world' Cm Punk? Since leaving the WWE, Punk has kept himself very busy by entering MMA and the UFC. His first UFC fight didn't go well at all, maybe proving the octagon was too much for him at this stage of his career.
If Cm Punk was smart, he would at least entertain an offer for the "All-In" event. The number of eyes a Cm Punk return would put onto independent wrestling would be incredible for all parties involved. Punk was the best in the world "on the Mic, in the ring, even on commentary nobody could touch him.".
With that said, Who would you guys like to see at the Cody Rhodes And The Young bucks self-funded event "All-In"?
