Cody: Bullet Club members committed to taking next step together

While the future of Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega remains uncertain, it seems that they plan on sticking together.

During a conference call to promote the Starrcast convention during All In weekend earlier today, Cody was asked a question about what could be next for All In after the first show on September 1. Cody said that he wasn’t sure, but that he and other members within the Bullet Club are verbally committed to one another going forward.

“One thing that is special about this group is we have verbally committed to each other, and I don’t know that that’s ever been done in the history of wrestling, where I have verbally committed to the Bucks, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page,” he said. “There’s this verbal commitment that the next step we take because it’s no secret. Our contracts are all up. What happens next? The next step we take, we’re going to take it together and we’re going to take it as a family.”

Matt Jackson later seemed to comment on Cody’s comments, tweeting the word “pact”.

When asked about a second All In show on Observer radio recently, Cody seemed to indicate that he and The Young Bucks would stick together, but wasn’t sure as to what the future would hold for them.

Marko Stunt added to All In Over Budget Battle Royal

The ninth entrant has been announced for the All In Over Budget Battle Royal set for next month.

Marko Stunt, whose nickname is Mr. Pint Size, was announced tonight via All In’s Twitter account. He has been making a name for himself on the indy scene in the last year, competing for a number of regional promotions including IWA Mid South. One of his more higher profile matches came last night when he accepted a challenge against KTB at Joey Janela’s Lost In New York event. Despite looking extremely impressive, he wasn’t able to get the win.

Marko Stunt joins eight other competitors who have been announced in the last week: Moose, Rocky Romero, Colt Cabana, Jordynne Grace, Ethan Page, Brian Cage, Billy Gunn and Jimmy Jacobs. The winner of the battle royal will earn a shot against ROH champion Jay Lethal later that night. The Over Budget battle royal will be part of the pre-show called Zero Hour which will air an hour before All In. It will air on WGN America at 6 p.m. EDT.

All In will go down September 1 at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, near Chicago.

Flip Gordon on ‘All Out’, making ROH his home

By Gary Mehaffy for F4WOnline.com

All In is one of the most eagerly anticipated wrestling events of the year…unless you’re Flip Gordon, who, as of this writing, still isn’t booked on the show.

However, he is hosting a party in association with Pro Wrestling Tees called All Out: a pre-show event in the Sears Centre parking lot for those going to the event.

I recently spoke with Gordon on the All In show, why he hopes his “friends” that are involved with it do well, and his insight into just how hard Cody and The Young Bucks are working on the show.

Other topics included why he decided to make Ring of Honor his home promotion, why he thought he blew his 2017 tryout with them, how he combined his Army Reserve training with his wrestling dates, his work for New Japan Pro Wrestling, having the opportunity to wrestle Rey Mysterio for Northeast Wrestling, who he would love to face, and much, much more.
