Stadium Stampede : une 2e édition très différente selon Shawn Spears

En entrevue pour WrestleZone, Shawn Spears, qui est membre du clan The Pinnacle, soutient que la seconde édition de Stadium Stampede, présentée ce soir au PPV Double or Nothing de la AEW, sera très différente de la première version.

Dans ce match très spécial, The Pinnacle affrontera The Inner Circle dans le stade TIAA Bank Field de Jacksonville, sans la présence de spectateurs.

Spears fait remarquer que c’est devenu un concept brillant de la part de la AEW. Il souligne que l’an dernier, le Stadium Stampede a vraiment attiré l’attention dans un bon moment, alors que la pandémie compliquait les choses.

“Like you said, it’s become a staple in AEW, and that’s a tip of the hat to the creative genius that is Tony Khan and the concept that he and the team came up with, and that’s to put all these wrestlers inside of an empty stadium and let them fight everywhere and all over. I think it caught a lot of buzz, it put a lot of eyes on AEW, it was different and it was different at a very dark time, not only in professional wrestling, but in the world. And I think it gave people an escape and gave them something to look forward too. So, now we fast forward a year when the world is kind of slowly trying to open up and go back to normal, we’re going right back into the Stadium Stampede.

Spears mentionne que le match de dimanche sera moins humoristique que celui de l’an dernier. On y avait vu notamment une chaise roulante et Matt Hardy se “transformer” après une baignade. Cette année, il prévoit un contenu fort différent et qui s’inscrira dans la suite logique de Blood and Guts.

“I will say that last year—and I’ll quote Dax Harwood who said this last week and I agree with him wholeheartedly—was a dog and pony show. It was a little comedic, it was over the top, you got to see wheelchairs and you got to see people swimming and changing underwater. And it had every bit of entertainment aspect that you could ask for. This year, much like Blood And Guts, things are going to be vastly different. So, at least that’s the plan for The Pinnacle, we get to be in the second-ever one, we got to be in the first Blood And Guts match ever here in AEW and for me, how can I complain? Being in this industry for 19-years and to be able to do something relatively new and to do something for the first time in a company, is fantastic.”

On doit donc s’attendre à un résultat plus sérieux et violent, alors que la rivalité entre les deux clans a gagné en intensité au fil du temps.
