AEW: Double or Nothing 2021

I liked parts of Stadium Stampede but I don't think works as an actual blood feud between two factions. The Elite and Inner Circle were barely feuding by the time they got booked in the Blood and Guts match last year that had to be cancelled, and whatever feud existed cooled even more when most of those guys couldn't be in the skeleton crew for the QT Marshall gym shows. So leaning heavily into the silliness in that match felt justified and there were no fans in the building to worry about. Plus the US was like two months into the pandemic and the world was utter shit at the time so that 30+ minutes of ridiculousness in the Stampede helped me forget about things for a little while.

Won't be another Stampede at Double or Nothing next year as they'll very likely be back in Vegas I think Daily's Place will still get a token couple of Dynamites a year as the "home base" but unless they're gonna do a Stampede on TV I think the match type will be retired.
