Cody Rhodes is still flying high off the success of his All-In event that saw him win the NWA Championship from Nick Aldis, and there is already buzz generating about an All-In 2. Cody recently appeared on The Ross Report, and discussed the event, his win, and what he would do differently for an All-In 2.

“I didn’t get a chance to sleep and I went right to gorilla after my match and I directed and timed the last half of the show” Cody said about the event. “I’m not the best timer judging by the main event time. I’m learning, but, I didn’t get that moment to, I didn’t get many moments. It was just happening so fast.”

As far as an All-In 2, Rhodes is already in the planning stages.

“Well, maybe we already started planning” Rhodes teased.

“I kept writing these lists, and my dad was a big list guy, and I have become a big list guy too” Rhodes said.

“I kept writing these lists of these are the things to do to make sure you’re in peak condition, and also make sure you’re in peak mental state, and make sure you paid this guy, and talked to this guy.

I also learned I wanted to do every single thing with this show. I wanted to do payroll; I wanted to know elements of production; I wanted to know how many chairs were in the union catering room.”
