He also notes that there is a portion of the audience that exists simply to troll and he tries not to even give those people fuel for their fire. Nonetheless, in the end it’s all good because whether they love you or hate you, they just need to care one way or another. Ross agrees, noting that you can’t make any money in the wrestling business being neutral.
Ross informs that all VIP tickets for Starrcast sold out in 15 minutes which is just incredible. General admission weekend passes are available for under $60, and Ross thinks that’s an incredible deal. Bischoff says that this is such a phenomenal statement of the interest in independent wrestling in the United States right now.
Bischoff says he’d already have his eye on ALL IN 2, 3, and 4 if he was Cody Rhodes or the Young Bucks, especially the cities and the venues. He notes that time goes by fast and they need to capitalize on their momentum, especially if the first show goes off without a hitch.
Bischoff thinks ALL IN should run for 3 hours at the most because he’s a firm believer in leaving the fans wanting more. He thinks people need to walk out of the building that night saying they had a great time, not talking about how long the show was.
He’s also a fan of storylines and arcs. A lot of the performers on ALL IN are coming in cold from a storyline perspective, even though they all have big profiles in the business. If they plan for ALL IN 2 when they layout some of their finishes, that’ll allow them to carry their momentum forward and build some storylines for the next show.
