[9/1/18] The Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes Present: "All In" Sponsored by Ed G's tears

[Reality Check]

It started as Cody and the Bucks self financing, but Sinclair Broadcasting got involved and provided all of ROH's screens/rings/camera crew for the event. It was sponsored by TGIFridays and Cracker Barrell, and I'm sure Pro Wrestling Tees and other more local area stuff.

PWT was a sponsor (tough not to miss the seemingly 20 minutes of commercials during the Pre-Show) and Hot Topic was another national sponsor

I forgot to mention something about the arena

They converted a couple of women’s bathrooms into mens, that’s how much of a sausage fest it was

Was thinking of going back and watching Scurll/Okada since I went to do some things during that match. The first 8-10 minutes really bored me, and I enjoy both wrestlers.

Long ass episode of BTE going behind the scenes of All-In

 

[julesocean]

Saturday's All In: Zero Hour broadcast, which aired on WGN America at 6 p.m. Eastern time before the All In main card started on pay-per-view, Fite TV, and HonorClub, averaged 196,000 viewers.

It's difficult to say what this means other than that it was the highest rated show on that station on that day. It fell almost exactly in between what a typical Impact episode on Pop TV and a Lucha Underground episode on the El Rey Network would do, but both of those shows air in prime time. Last week's Impact drew 225,000 viewers, and their lowest total for the year is 168,000.

Zero Hour averaged a 0.08 rating in the important 18-49 demo and finished 85th for the day in that demo on all of cable TV.

The Zero Hour portion of All In featured the Over Budget Battle Royale -- which was won by Flip Gordon as he advanced to challenge for Jay Lethal's ROH World Championship later in the night -- and The Briscoes vs. Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky.

Saturday was also the kickoff for the college football season. Games airing on ESPN, FOX, CBS, and ABC averaged a combined 10 million viewers airing directly opposite Zero Hour.

[DoubleJ13]

Briscoes vs SCU- 3.75*

Over Budget Battle Royal- 4*(Dave called it the best Battle Royal in years)

Cross vs MJF- 2.75*

Daniels vs Amell- 2.75*

Women’s four way- 3.25*

Cody vs Aldis- 4*

Page vs Janela- 4.25*

Lethal vs Flip- 3.5*

Omega vs Penta- 4.5*

Okada vs Scurll- 4.25*

Golden Elite vs Mysterio/Fenix/Bandido- 4.5*

Dave is so fukking shameless

The key players in the ring, Cody, Omega, Young Bucks and Page (Scurll was not in the ring for the finish and he’s the only one whose contract doesn’t expire by the end of January) vowed to stick together in their upcoming negotiations and certainly left one with the impression they aren’t going to WWE. The best we can say right now is this. The vow to stick together among the five is legit. The decision of what that means hasn’t been made and WWE, which has made strong overtures, is an option. It’s not going to be an easy decision. There are many different things to weigh, some obvious and others not so obvious. The belief is that WWE is not blind to the obvious angle and has the same basic idea that would be obvious regarding how to use them at first.

He's even trying to help them squeeze a little more out of ROH/NJPW

[Superkick Party]

- Live Gate: $458,525
- Merchandise: Every item sold out, no finite numbers from this
- FITE: Grossed more than $1 Million between Starrcast and ALL IN iPPV sales.
- Starrcast sold 11,000 tickets
- Pro Wrestling Tees did just under $500k of t-shirt sales
- Highspots had it's biggest merchandise day ever at the convention
- PPV Numbers: Not out yet and impossible to predict due to no prior reference point. Google Trends showed that this didn't have mainstream steam, but no wrestling show outside of WWE has shown that in recent memory.
- WGN Zero Hour: 196k Viewers. In line with station's top rated prime time shows, even on worst week of the night for TV and not in Prime time.
- Overall financial verdict: Grand Slam home run

Goodness gracious! @ how liberal he was with the Okada and Daniels match ratings.

Okada-Marty well into the 4's? When they did NOTHING for the first 10 - 15 minutes. The 10 - 15 minutes that were supposed to go to the main event anyway???

The Daniels carry job gets near a 3...the same score he gives to a FAR SUPERIOR match in Cross-MJF.


I agree with his thoughts on the Battle Royal, tho. battle royals are usually lightweight terrible up until the last 5 minutes. This one was good from beginning 'til end. Made Moose look like a monster fresh off the angle on Impact! Showcased the spot monkeys. Put over Grace. Had a fun ending with Flip.

Finally watched the Cody vs Aldis match that I missed live, shyt wasn't good. Cody cannot get to another gear to save his life & Aldis had his biggest stage since TNA & proved he's just a guy. The hilariously random entrences, Brandi looking great, & Earl getting a mic & rambling just enough to almost crack Cody up .were the best parts of the whole thing.

Cody at one point misses a superkick by a mile.

Cody dives & gets hit & can't get blood (pretty sure dude didn't blade & was using some fake blood) but he was atleast hiding his face in the ground & under the table at ringside, except at one point DDP comes down & Cody looks right at the camera without any blood, DDP & Daivari do their spot, & then the next time you see Cody after he went back under the table during the DDP/Daivari spot he comes up bloody

Aldis gets tripped on the apron, the camera goes black for 4-5 seconds, & the next thing you know he's doing a running powerslam on the floor.

Cody goes for the Alabama slam but drops Aldis & starts selling his back, but immediately just picks him back up for it again including spinning around with him this time.

Aldis kicks out of every finish Cody has & then loses to a sunset flip reversal where Aldis doesn't even attempt to sell struggling to kicking out.

I thought the same at first but the match picks up
