More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Jump in that water, be free
Editor Convoy here: in between taking notes and writing the column last night, I lost at least part of my draft in a fashion where it couldn’t be retrieved. Frankly, I didn’t feel strongly enough about either the show or what I had already written to reconstruct all of it. If this missive lacks the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I do, I don’t, whatever*
Despite a week of teased returns and accusations of AI slop and peculiar match ups causing yet more intense feelings… …AEW only went and put on not only the best post pay per view Dynamite, maybe ever, but maybe one of the best Dynamites ever, period. Certainly one of the best CROWDS ever; 3,500 Detroit…

U.N. Squadron sounds like a Cannon film starring Michael Dudikoff
When I walked into the classroom, that shining day in 1989, she was there, waiting for me. The one. Well, maybe not THE one. That would come later, of course, at a time where I was unprepared and from a direction I didn’t suspect. But for eleven year old me, smart, awkward, head full of…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: There’s no Canada like French Canada
We could argue all day the merits of AEW slowly but surely crawling towards the once per month pay per view model… suffice to say I don’t like it but it’s not like I don’t understand it. Money talks, and all that. I do think that there is a touch of nuance lost when AEW…

40th Anniversary Non Apology Tour
An awful looking, tacked on CGI horror dropped into MY Transformers the Movie (1986)? A “secret” in a story “we know so well?” I know I’m supposed to sink to my knees in fanboy supplication and say six “Hail Hasbros” while I hold my hand over a resin copy of the Matrix of Leadership, but…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: To hurt, they try and try
We are at that part of the weekly AEW discourse where jerks are making (some) good points but in insufferable fashion, the defense force is out in full force and mad YOU might not be into the PPV since this is a weird cycle, diehards are telling you why a LITANY of WWE people coming…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: When I needed soul revival
May as well get right into it this week, as I kick it speed style. If you want the more thoughtful, more introspective side of my writing, I dropped a near 7,000 word screed about TNA earlier this week. Tranquilo. Assenayo. Much like most heel commentators when the in-ring action gets… questionable… you might say…

Dark Side of the Ring: In this world I find a way to cross the line
This is for you; you know who you are. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and poorly produced documentaries. While this isn’t really the space to go into a line for line attack on the latest Dark Side of the Ring documentary, this time featuring Total Nonstop Action (a dark…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Clarissa wrestlesplains it all
I could write paragraphs, COLUMN INCHES about the difference between wrestlers using sand for a dumb, crooked finish and wrestling MANAGERS using powder or salt since time immemorial but I get tired of wrestlesplaining or being wrestlesplained to, so we can table that. A plea from ship to shore and all points east; I try…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I can blow you away or you can ride with me
You can’t say AEW gave you a sleepy post pay per view Dynamite THIS week, and to top it off, due to the impending holiday, a Thursday night Collision to boot. Then, on top of all that, next week’s Dynamite sounds insane. AEW feels fairly hot, feels like they are stomping on the gas pedal.…
