How would Tony Khan begin the biggest show of his professional wrestling booking career, All In? Would he start things slow? Get as many performers in the ring as possible? Or bring the energy early on to really get the fans up? Well, as it turns out, he went right for the jugular, booking the […]

There’s a reason why fans call Bryan Danielson the greatest wrestler in the world.
