Pro Wrestling Real Life Stories: Episode 1 - All In, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, and the butterfly effect

#4 A journalist's tweet led to Cody Rhodes taking up a challenge

Cody and The Young Bucks took Dave Meltzer's comments as a challenge

Names such as Bill Apter and Dave Meltzer are regarded by many as individuals who've successfully covered the sport of professional wrestling for years, and continue to do so even today. Meltzer answered a fan's question on Twitter last year, stating that ROH selling out a 10,000-seat show at a venue such as Madison Square Garden probably isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Well, Cody replied to Meltzer's tweet, and the rest, as they say, is history. In the weeks that ensued, Cody and The Young Bucks envisioned and plotted how they could possibly make a 10,000-seat show sell out in the US without being affiliated with the WWE.

Anecdotes:

Eventually, Cody and The Young Bucks broke news that they're set to put on an event titled "All In" at the Sears Centre in Chicago.

Needless to say, upon learning the specifics regarding the event, Meltzer shed light upon just how big of a deal All In would really be. Speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer explained that Cody and The Young Bucks would be the promoters of the biggest indie wrestling event of 2018; and should the event prove to be a financial success--something which shall unravel in the days following All In--chances are that All In may turn into an annual pro-wrestling spectacle...
