Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks were recently guests on Chris Jericho’s podcast, Talk Is Jericho. During the podcast episode, they shared some behind-the-scenes tidbits about their upcoming ‘All-In’ event and more.
One of the most interesting parts was when Jericho spoke about Vince McMahon’s reaction when he first told him about the ‘All-In’ event.
Here is the story from Chris (quote via Wrestling INC):
“Speaking about Vince [McMahon], I told Vince about All In four or five months ago. We were just discussing it, shooting the breeze and I go, ‘yeah the show is in September in Chicago.’ Vince is like, ‘ah I wish they would have called me. September is the worst time of the year to promote — it’s terrible!’
“I’m like, you’re got old-school forty years of promoting and [he says] ‘they should have called me,'”
They also joked about how that hypothetical conversation would have gone between Cody, the Bucks, and Vince:
“Hey Vince, it’s Cody, I’ve got the Young Bucks on the phone. They have a couple of questions about promoting in the fall.”
While Vince says September is a bad time to promote, the ‘All-In’ event sold out in about 30 minutes.
