The Stadium Stampede has been a tremendous success for WWE and has been critically acclaimed. The fun ten-man tag match between the Elite and the Inner Circle was the main event of Double or Nothing and now Chris Jericho thinks they should win an Emmy for it.
In a recent interview with ESPN, Jericho discussed the process of putting together such a match. Here is the full quote:
“When you film a movie, there’s weeks, months of filming, weeks and months of editing. All that different stuff. We filmed the entire Stadium Stampede in nine hours. From 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Friday night to Saturday morning. And we had three hours to edit it before we had to take it to the truck. What we created in that time frame is monumental. We literally should win an Emmy for that.
You’ve got 10 guys and a great crew that were all on the same page. We all knew what we wanted. What’s a Stadium Stampede match? Well, it’s a match in a stadium. But we went out there [at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ TIAA Bank Field] on the first day, on Thursday, to see. I’m like, it’s an empty stadium. It’s an empty football field. With empty rows and rows and rows of chairs. We’re gonna have to dress this up a bit. And that’s kind of what we did.”
The Inner Circle did end up being defeated by The Elite when Kenny Omega hit a massive One-Winged Angel on Sammy Guevara.
