All In 2: 8 Things We Want To See
5. Even More 'Being The Elite' Immersion
All In did a tremendous job of gratifying those fans who consume every bit of content Cody, The Young Bucks and chums put out online. There were nods to the group's 'Being The Elite' show all over the place, but again, it didn't become overwhelming for those who haven't watched an episode.
To recap, we saw Adam Page's talking boots, some Joey Ryan-related nonsense, Jay Lethal's Randy Savage-inspired alter-ego (along with a neat appearance by Lanny Poffo), and even Marty Scurll breaking some fingers.
Everything worked, and there's no reason why a sequel show can't feature more of this immersion into The Elite's world. The whole night felt like a showcase of why anyone who hasn't should check out some old 'Being The Elite' stuff, and just how clever that is should not be overlooked. Talk about selling one's product to new eyeballs.
The fact fans opened up the show by singing along to the show's theme song proves what kind of connection Cody and The Bucks have forged with their audience. There's genuine appreciation there for what they're doing, and that's something they can exploit next time.
