The wrestling world is still applauding Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks for their work putting together All In, as it should.

Those boys pulled off the biggest non-WWE or WCW show since 1993, attracted over 11,000 fans to Chicago's Sears Centre and put on quite the card. There were surprise cameos aplenty, including Chris Jericho's post-match attack on Kenny Omega and old NWA/WCW favourites like Magnum T.A and Diamond Dallas Page.

Page, who has long-considered Rhodes' dad Dusty his own wrestling father figure, has known Cody since he was a child. This week, the WCW legend revealed what nickname he had for Rhodes Jr growing up, and why he's waited until now to tell it to the world. Let's just say life moves in mysterious circles.

Other facts include why Triple H approached Samoa Joe on a WWE tour bus to personally congratulate him for his work in NXT, who is responsible for WWE's (often erratic) production style, what Mae Young told Kurt Angle before an on-screen spot and which items Jim Ross wanted back from WCW before joining the WWF in '93.
