More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
Well… you would probably have to say that the Continental Classic lived up to it’s name. I guess maybe not so much the “continental” part. I was never ONCE offered FINE CHAM PANGNYAH. But genuinely, from an in ring perspective, this was probably the single best tournament AEW has yet fielded of any kind. That’s…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You know you drive me up the wall
The Rainy City provided a lovely backdrop for AEW this week; hardly surprising since AEW is pretty well loved over in the UK. I could be a snarky boy and be like “well, then why didn’t they give them a better show” but the show was… aggressively fine. Honestly, it was really only one thing…

If you aren’t sick of me by now
And mighty PRIMUS, why wouldn’t you be… you can “enjoy” (?) two plus hours of me yammering about music with the young but mighty Andrew Rich on his show, MUSIC OF THE MAT. THRILL as we speak of sophomore records and the value therein. CHILL as I admit ignorance to BOTH classic seventies rock AND…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Sucks me in when you’re aloof
Gotta be honest with you, gang… and if I weren’t, there’d be no point to me writing this OR you reading it: this was another week where I don’t feel like I have much to say. Not symptoms of burnout or anything, at least I don’t think so; I just wasn’t particularly moved. There was…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: It’s your world and I’m just a squirrel
Continental Classic episodes of Dynamite tend to be a bit harder to write about; I have some thoughts about yesterday’s show (mostly positive, obviously; it was a good show and the time went by very quickly) but there’s not a lot to drill into without boring blow by blow move recaps… that’s not really what…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: One guy’s wasted and the other’s a waste
Is ‘Nevermore: The Raven Effect’ worth a stream? I’m torn. It certainly wasn’t bad or anything; it was clearly made by filmmakers with a vested interest in the subject and was able to even achieve poignancy a time or two. On the other hand, if you’ve been watching wrestling since the time Raven was actually…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You f*ckin’ wit’ the champion (you already know)
Greetings, friends! DON’T WORRY; If AEW died the second Hangman Adam Page lost to Samoa Joe, it was resurrected when Kazuchika Okada stepped in the ring with Kyle Fletcher (he who implores us to say his full name but I don’t feel like anyone has a problem doing that in the first place). IS THIS…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: The distance in your eyes
Towards the end of AEW Full Gear, I figured the discourse this week would be entirely based upon either the show being too long or letting too many people bleed. By the ACTUAL end of Full Gear, I knew those potential “problems” had been replaced by another. For the record (and I guess that is…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Three hours will fill him, three hours will kill him
Oh, I kid. The three hours were mostly FINE. Didn’t love EVERYTHING, but as far as AEW go home shows go… I think this one was fairly good. I think there were only a couple of matches that had me HOOTING AND HOLLERING, but that’s not an indictment… and sometimes I have to stop to…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Red skies at night
You know what? Despite some gnashing of teeth, despite the fact that there’s a pay per view nine days from now, so the timing is a little hinky… despite claims of “struggling” to fill the room… you’d have to say AEW’s annual Blood and Guts was a success, certainly creatively. Both Blood and Guts matches…
