If WWE Were Being Honest About ALL IN
Chicago Fire
Vince McMahon was probably asleep.
Well, he probably wasn't snoozing - the man abhors sneezing, let alone giving his body up to occasional bouts of tiredness - but he was dozing on the job when he allowed Cody Rhodes to walk away from his organisation loaded with long-dormant creativity and bigger dreams that ones gathering star-dust on B-show storage crates, so it wouldn't be completely out of the realms of possibility that he was having a power nap whilst ALL IN announced itself as WWE's first noisy neighbour in nearly a decade.
McMahon has neither the time nor inclination to worry about other businesses as he flits between an Alpha Entertainment XFL wet dream and a beta entertainment WWE dry spell. But his son-in-law and heir to the throne will have certainly kept one eye on events from inside the Sears Centre.
Triple H's important reinvention as the future's gatekeeper was a crucial turning point in the early 2010s, but he spent his own wrestling career trampling on his peers just to remain relevant. ALL IN (and particularly t's intrepid leader Cody) worked not just promote tomorrow's talent today but also shine the brightest ever light on the men and women of independent wrestling - the scene Hunter cribbed liberally from when he bathed Full Sail University in yellow.
So no, The Chairman probably won't have given a single sh*t, but has a game-changing night changed things for 'The Game'?
CONT'D...
