During the Dominion broadcast on NJPWWorld.com, viewers were treated to a bit of interesting news in regard to the upcoming All In show and its already led to a lot of speculation. It was announced that Don Callis — New Japan color commentator and current Executive Vice President of Impact Wrestling — will be performing commentary duties at the sold-out Chicago show.

All In, an independent wrestling undertaking by The Young Bucks and Cody, recently received headlines for selling out all 10,000 seats of the Sears Centre in less than one hour. The 1 September event will feature the stars of the Bullet Club and various international competitors like New Japan's Okada, Mexico's Penta el Zero M, and NWA Worlds Champion, Nick Aldis, among others.

With the event's star-power and as an already-proven success, the further announcement of a commentator -- especially Callis -- has already led fans and analysts to question if a potential broadcast of the event could be possible. Logic dictates that a commentary team isn’t necessary if there won't be some form of television, pay-per-view, or streaming service — even just a potential later home media release. For the time being, further news about Callis’ role at All In and the event’s broadcast potential is unavailable but sure to come about soon.
