Since the announcement of the big All In event earlier this year, it’s no secret that Ring Of Honor star Flip Gordon has been lobbying to get booked for the September 1st show in Chicago, Illinois at the Sears Centre. Whether it be on social media, through Brandi Rhodes or any other various show (including yesterday’s All In press conference which you can check out here), Flip has continued to push Cody Rhodes to get him on the show. While Cody has not been receptive to Flip’s attempts, today ‘The American Nightmare’ announced that he will be giving Gordon one more chance to earn his way there:

EA’s Take: I’ve always felt that it was just a matter of time before Flip was announced. A lot of what he, Brandi and Cody have been doing via social media to further the angle has been nothing short of excellent. I see loads of potential in Flip and Cody’s a smart guy (much smarter than me likely), so I’d be willing to bet he sees it too. This whole thing, in my opinion, has just been a way to elevate Flip and it has worked brilliantly, as more people at least know who he is than ever before. Now, do I think he wins this match? I’m not sure. I could see them stretching it out further and quite frankly, I don’t see why they wouldn’t. Flip was never a name that would significantly help ticket sales and now that the show is sold out, you may as well keep it going with him for another month or two before he finally gets “booked”.
