The YouTube subpocalypse is for real and my YouTube channel could use your support. I need 1,000 subscribers to survive and it's at 749 subscribers right now, an increase from when the bad news broke, but I still need 251 more. While the revenue generated is small compared to a Game Grumps or a NoDQ it's still very much necessary to keep our operation running. Please subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan and help me out!

Cody RhodesIn this interview Cody Rhodes says his late father Dusty Rhodes would've liked All In: "The first time he tuned in to ECW, this is a good example, I thought like, oh, he's gonna hate it. Look at what's happening, there's all kinds of sex and violence. He was so entertained, and I remember sitting in front of him with my little Hasbro figures and watch the shows, every pay-per-view. So he had this forward-thinking knowledge that I think all of the great minds in pro wrestling have. So, I think if he saw this, he'd have a few touches for sure, but I think he'd be pretty stoked about it. I hope he would."

At Starrcast last night, Busted Open host Dave LaGreca talked about tonight's All In pay per view: "This is something that honestly, to me, feels like the '80s; it's like the territories all over again. You have other federations that are healthy, and the whole business in general is very healthy. I'm really excited about this weekend, and I don't think we've experienced anything like this in probably 20-25 years. For a lot of younger fans, they're experiencing this for the first time. An event at this caliber that's not connected with the WWE, and even just coming here and seeing the t-shirts; you're not seeing Cena, you're not seeing Roman Reigns. ODB has her food truck right outside the hotel. This is pretty awesome. This is no disrespect to WWE, but that's pro wrestling. What were experiencing right now is wrestling. I'm really excited about this."

One final hype video for All In tonight can be found below.

In this interview Ken Shamrock says it's STILL not over with Royce Gracie: "I've always said that I think the fans deserve better than that in the last fight we had. And I thought that Royce should have come out and did a fight after the low blow, and he didn't. He ran off with the wind, basically saying 'Oh, he should have known I was gonna knee him low.' And I was like, 'Dude, we don't fight like that anymore.' So, it was really, to me, very disrespectful and I thought it was really disrespectful to the fans and to the world of MMA."

New WWE related videos are available below.

Speaking to Two Man Power Trip, Tonga Kid remembers an infamous fight between Haku and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake: "I've seen him take up Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake in the dressing room because of the fact when they had The Dream Team with Beefcake and Greg 'The Hammer' (Valentine) and the blonde guy Johnny Valiant that in our matches Haku was chopping him so hard and I had kicked him real hard, which I just liked picking on people because I know they aren't going to mess with me (because of Tonga) but I didn't know King Tonga was going to chop him that hard. When he chops you, you can feel it in your soul. That is how hard he hits you and how hard King Tonga chops you. So he (Beefcake) goes back and tells Vince that he didn't want to wrestle us and he wanted to wrestle another team because the fact is that we are hitting him too hard. I said to him if you can't take a chop than you are in the wrong business. Maybe you should find another job or something and he didn't do it once he did it again and again and he thought it was funny and he kept doing it over. So King Tonga walked over to him and grabbed him by the throat in the shower and yanked him straight up and lifted him right up like three or four inches off the ground. Of course Hogan is going to run in there and help him because that is his boy. That is like his little boy that can go like get him hamburgers and pick up all of his clothes or whatever you want to call him almost like his 'butler' I guess so of course Hogan is going to run over there. When the rest of the guys ran over to help Beefcake, I am going to throw this out there that nobody came close. Pat Patterson and Vince McMahon had to come in himself to calm down and tell Haku to take it easy. Even with Hogan as part of that too, but trust me if you saw the look Haku had in his eyes when he had Beefcake lifted up, nobody was going to come near him whatsoever if it wasn't for me and maybe Pat Patterson."

Speaking of Ed Leslie, Brutus Beefcake explains how he got his name: "They had no idea what Brutus Beefcake was, they just came up with a name. Honestly, I thought the name was really crazy. Brutus Beefcake, just completely off the wall but sometimes that is the best thing you can do is go off the wall and the name Brutus Beefcake became a worldwide sensation, and it's a name you don't forget: Brutus Beefcake. Here I am in the pro wrestling business, which I was 7 or 8 years into it and then now I am going to have my name picked, and this name will be my name for the rest of my life, well, it would have been my entire life if circumstances didn't change becoming other characters in WCW, but after all these years it really doesn't matter, but Brutus Beefcake, Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake, just crazy."

Via social media CM Punk thanks everyone who came to One Hour Tees to see him: "I don't have the words to properly express how thankful I am to have seen, spent a small amount of time with, and listened to some moving stories from some great people today. Appreciate you all. Thanks for the smiles. #fans #friends #strangers #samekids"

Here WWE NXT UK's Kenny Williams says he wants to face Rey Mysterio: "Rey Mysterio is the perfect example of my style. He's redefined what it means to be a smaller sized wrestler, and when I started wrestling, I took inspiration from that, and I watched a lot of his matches to study him and see how he worked with bigger guys. When I was younger, people would always say I couldn't wrestle, and I would always use Rey Mysterio as an example of why I could. So to be across the ring from him in front of a home crowd, was just incredible. And then to come out on top was something that a 12-year-old version of myself would be losing his mind thinking about it."

Add Hulk Hogan to the list of people saying Kenny Omega should go to WWE: "Would I love to see him go to the WWE? Yes. Would I love to see him be used correctly? Yes. If he ever got lost in the mix, it would be a sad, sad story. But if there is a chance to sign him, Vince McMahon could be the guy to take him to the next level. If you don't touch on the WWE, your story is not complete. But rules are made to be broken, and Kenny is such a big star that he could be the one to change all that. Kenny is such a big star that he doesn't need to sign in New York, but it would complete the story if he went and dominated and had a hell of a run in WWE."

Sadly Will Ospreay is forced to withdraw from this weekend's Rev Pro shows in the UK due to injury.

Here Xia Brookside talks about being in the Mae Young Classic: "This is the first time my dad is going to see me wrestle live. Luckily, it's at the Mae Young Classic. All of these women have worked very hard to be here. So, it's a great experience to be in it at such a very young age. I've wrestled at a fair few places. I've wrestled around the world. Now I get to show everybody what exactly I've worked hard to do."

In this interview Lana talks about who she wants to face at Evolution: "There are so many women on the current roster who are just incredible competitors, and I'd love to fight them. But then there are so many women from the past I would love to fight. I mean, who doesn't want to get in the ring with Trish or Lita or Molly Holly? Trish was my inspiration for so long. But I've always been a huge fan of Stephanie McMahon. Growing up, I wanted to be in WWE because of watching characters like Stephanie McMahon and Paul Heyman. They just are such incredible storytellers, such incredible, compelling characters. When I look at Stephanie McMahon's entire career, I'm always blown away at how she just moves your soul. Literally, my heart is moved by her. Either I hate her, or love her, or love to hate her. I probably won't face off with her at Evolution, but just in general she is one of my dream opponents."

Here Naomichi Marufuji says he was jealous of KENTA (Hideo Itami) went he went to WWE: "He and I are on different paths, I did feel some jealousy when he went to America, because I had decided that I had to do it 'here.' I don't want it to be lost in the meaning of his going to America, I have been thinking about that. Because of the excitement, I want to show content that matches it, and above all the 'results.'"
