To the surprise of nobody, Hangman Page turned down an offer for a new contract. Cody and The Young Bucks also haven't signed new deals but Page just turned down his offer of late. Obviously nothing is happening until January. Cody was on the Jericho Cruise and said that he would not be going to WWE, saying he swore to God he wasn't going there. It's the first time anyone in the group has said that definitively. He said he would do everything in his power to have an All In 2. There has been talk of two All In shows in 2019 but right now nothing is definite on that account either, past talk of a holiday weekend like Memorial Day on the West Coast, but Cody made it clear that as of right now, there is nothing definite. The tag line "All In: Double or Nothing" which Cody used at the end of the first All In was talked about as the name for the second show, but again, there are so many uncertain things going on. Another question being asked is whether Sinclair and ROH would allow its exclusive talent to perform on an All In show if the key players promoting are no longer with ROH, and obviously this is too early to know about but those in the industry have noted this being another issue regarding the show. In addition, ROH gave the group extensive help on the first show, with Gary Juster of ROH being mentioned as a behind-the-scenes MVP who caught them so much about dealing with buildings and running a major live event. Cody said he couldn't do All In without the whole crew together and at this point can't say definitively that were will be one. I don't see him being exclusive New Japan, so if he's not staying with ROH and not going to WWE, that does point to a new party getting involved. Really, the only true free agents right now would be Cody and Jericho. The others are still under contract until the end of the year, or in the case of Kenny Omega, end of January. Of the crew, several have spoken highly to me about New Japan in the past week and whatever issues, they want to work there in 2019, and are fine with how things are going with management today, but others haven't disagreed with the idea going around on the Cruise of the issues and wanting to be in control. There is a theme of wanting to expand Being the Elite. Given its success as a YouTube property and its value in building the first All In, the idea of expanding that, or making a television deal for a weekly show has to be on the table and has been talked about. But again, nothing seems to be in place for that right now. They would not have the control of their creative, which they enjoy having, nor the power to put their show on television if they went to WWE, but since nothing can be official now due to tampering issues with ROH and WWE that go way back, the belief is that WWE would allow them to continue the show if they sign, as part of the deal, similar to how they allow Xavier Woods to do this thing. One person I know who is not in this ROH group and is actually under contract to another organization, but would be one of the first people someone would go to on this subject, when I joked about if any billionaires have talked with him about a project, he joked, more than you'd think. That said, talk and actually doing it are very different.
