On a recent episode of The Jim Ross Report, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross shared his opinion on ALL In and also talked about rumors of an ALL In 2 around Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea.
Ross considered ALL In to be a success due to Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks turning the event into a cause that all fans of pro wrestling could get behind.
“They created that event like it was a cause. It was a cause that all wrestling fans, to some degree, could relate to. So the cause caused emotional investment and there’s your money. And so, whether it is a cause, an emotional investment in a thing, a person, a match…” Ross continued, “they created a cause and everybody got on their bandwagon to support the cause. It’s like a very positive political party. None of this ‘this side of the aisle, that side of the aisle’ bulls–t. It was really, really good and I was proud of those cats.”
He also talked about the rumors on the ‘G.O.A.T. On A Boat’ cruise that ALL IN 2 will take place in May of 2019.
I know that the rumor on the boat is they’re going to do another one in May,” Ross divulged. “Rumor and innuendo, but that’s about right, about one a year. The old wrestling promoter would say, ‘well, I can do two a year.’ Oh yeah, then it’s, ‘let’s do one monthly.’ Do you know what I mean? Nothing is ever enough in that respect.
“So I think, those kids have a good little nucleus there and their futures are all very bright. The nice thing that strikes me about The Young Bucks and Cody, among these other cats that are here [on Jericho’s cruise] like Marty Scurll, I got that right, and of course Kenny Omega.”
