In what is frankly a pretty brilliant piece of marketing synergy, All In - the 10K seat show Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks are self-financing in Chicago (actually, Hoffman Estates, Illinois) on Sept. 1 - will have a wrestling podcast convention associated with it.
As part of the announcement for the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg will be the event’s official hotel, the team revealed that Starrcast 2018 will be the “official convention partner” for All In. Cody and the Jacksons will appear, as will a lot of the other wrestlers who’ll be performing on Saturday at Sears Center. The official website promises “pictures, autographs, one of a kind experiences, live podcasts and more”.

The decision to head to Chicago-land is also making more sense, as buses to the Pro Wrestling Tees brick-and-mortar store in Chicago proper are being offered from All In’s official hotel.
What better way to lure in indie wrestling fans than with podcasts, merch and rasslin!
