More Dangerous Than Dynamite: She’s a lot like you- the dangerous type
You know, I was commiserating with a pal for most of the week about two major things I was not looking forward to on this week’s Dynamite (you know who you are) and both of those things ended up… well, if not FINE, then at least interesting. “May you live in interesting time,” as the…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: When I realize with fright that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
A behind the scenes glimpse into how the sausage is made here at YOUR favorite lukewarm takes factory, La Zona Muerta. I watch a wrestling show (or something), lament that I don’t take the time to write about more non wrestling topics, beat myself up for awhile, remember that I have been writing about wrestling…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Sounds like work
I had mentally prepared a rant (and I suspect we’ll get to it) as last evening’s Dynamite progressed but it was somewhat derailed by the events that transpired at the end of the show; Maxwell Jacob Friedman came out, got distracted by Hangman Adam Page’s music, and then got completely HELLMURDERED by Brody King. Brody…
I was born about ten thousand years ago
The yearly Voices of Wrestling top ten wrestling poll has again been compiled, and again, the nebulous space I occupy in wrestling “media” has granted my opinions and I a slot. I didn’t vote for what will likely be the number one match AT ALL (readers of this space can guess what match everyone else…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You can’t escape, no one will survive
Look, I like Tomasso Ciampa well enough. Well, I did, anyway. Like ten years ago. “It’s not the years; it’s the mileage.” – Indiana Jones Hell, even five years ago, if Ciampa wanted into AEW, I would have been hooting and hollering. Probably, anyway. The succession of bigger and grander matches between him and Johnny…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I’ve seen the future and it will be
There are a couple (well, MORE than a couple) sayings in wrestling that are loaded, just PREGNANT with double meaning. Stuff that might appear complimentary on the surface but really is kind of a knock. “______ is a good hand,” is one phrase where it might seem like you’re putting over someone’s in ring proficiency,…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Fix up, look sharp
Darby Allin is a polarizing kind of wrestler. Last night, during his match with the Bastard PAC, I was reading comments from people putting over his resilience, his tenacity. I was reading others saying “how is he the babyface?” and “kill the twink.” The most important reaction of all, that of my wife, was one…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I need somebody to shove
Not a bad Dynamite last night but a bit disjointed, perhaps, so this, too shall be equally disjointed, just some thoughts, no big picture whatsoever because what is the big picture, anyway? Sorry… huffing and puffing due to that run on sentence. I’m winded. I hate when AEW does angles / promos / gives you…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: ‘Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Friend of the blog BIG T (you know who you are and if the clichéd phrase “a brother from another mother” EVER applied, well Good LORD, it applies here) asked me the other day where my pay per view review was. Obviously I generally review every (or near every AEW PPV), especially as my overall…
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…
