Ring Of Honor (ROH) and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) star Cody was recently a guest on Busted Open Radio to promote tonight’s All In pay-per-view (PPV) event.
Cody and The Young Bucks’ self-funded event sold out the Sears Centre in Chicago, Illinois in just a few minutes. All In weekend has been a huge success thus far, and it all culminates tonight for the big show.
During the interview, WWE Hall Of Famer Bully Ray asked Cody – if all goes according to plan – could All In surpass any one show Dusty Rhodes ever created:
“I don’t think I can speculate. Because, it’s mine, you know? It’s me, Matt [Jackson], Nick [Jackson], it’s the Being the Elite guys. It’s all of yours, you know? It is by wrestlers, for wrestlers.
“It’s by fans, for fans. If you look at this convention and you look at the show, I care more about whether Dusty would have a good time at All In than whether I win this match, if that makes any sense.”
Cody Reveals How “The Dream” Would’ve Liked All In
In regards to Dusty Rhodes, Cody believes that his father would’ve been “stoked” for All In. For example, he shared an interesting story about how Dusty first perceived ECW:
“The first time he tuned in to ECW, this is a good example, I thought like, oh, he’s gonna hate it. Look at what’s happening, there’s all kinds of sex and violence.
“He was so entertained, and I remember sitting in front of him with my little Hasboro figures and watch the shows, every pay-per-view.
“So he had this forward-thinking knowledge that I think all of the great minds in pro wrestling have. So, I think if he saw this, he’d have a few touches for sure, but I think he’d be pretty stoked about it. I hope he would.”
