Kenny Omega sails over the ropes during a dive

#7 All In becomes the most successful independent wrestling show in history

The Time: September 1, 2018

The Place: Sears Center, Hoffman Estates, Illinois

The Event: All In

It was the wrestling event that began as a social media dare. When longtime wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer was asked whether or not a small independent organization like Ring of Honor would be able to sell out a ten thousand seat arena, his response was "not anytime soon."

One man disagreed with the much ballyhooed Meltzer, however; Cody Rhodes. He tweeted back "I'll take that bet, Dave!" Initially, All In was going to be an official ROH sanctioned event, but due to rising costs, the promotion backed out. Fortunately, Cody and the Young Bucks pooled their resources and managed to not only sell out the venue but make history in the process.
