At AEW Double Or Nothing 2021, the main event was the second ever Stadium Stampede match. The Inner Circle faced The Pinnacle, in a career threatening match. If The Inner Circle lost, they would have to break up. This meant that Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Santana, Ortiz and especially Sammy Guevara showed up in a big way. Thankfully however, Sammy Guevara had someone to shut down one of his ideas for this match.
Sammy Guevara Wanted To Jump Out Of A Helicopter Onto The Pinnacle
Having apparently played a Falls Count Anywhere match in the PS2 Classic, WWE Here Comes The Pain before pitching ideas for this match, Sammy Guevara had a great idea. In that game, when you battle far enough to the arena to reach Times Square, a player can grab onto a ladder hanging off a helicopter, climb up, and launch themselves down onto your opponent. This is roughly what Sammy Guevara pitched for Stadium Stampede II.
The Inner Circle made their entrance to the match by rappelling down the stadium, but the original plan was to use a helicopter. Santana would reveal this while on Talk is Jericho. “The original idea we all had was to have a helicopter fly over the stadium and we all rappel out of the helicopter. We had mentioned that to Jericho and you go, ‘Ya’ll can rappel. That helicopter is going to lower and I will walk right out of it,”
However that wasn’t good enough for Guevara, who would mention his plan on the same episode. “Imagine, 20-40 feet in the air, getting thrown out. I’ll make it work.” The helicopter idea was shot down by Tony Khan, and Guevara wouldn’t be allowed to perform another insane stunt.
A Familiar Tale…
Last year at Stadium Stampede when The Inner Circle faced The Elite, Guevara had another insane stunt in mind. He wanted to simply be thrown off the stadium. Guevara wouldn’t get to do this, but he did get to take a super One Winged Angel through a table from Kenny Omega to close out this match.
It’s people like Guevara that need to be kept under control by others in professional wrestling, as while these ideas are cool in theory? They’d be hard to pull off safely. Guevara still gets insane stunts in whenever possible, but lord knows what other ideas he’s had.
What insane stunt will be veto’d for Guevara if he gets into another Stadium Stampede match? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
