More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Seven thumbs up
I can already see the general population doing the “Dynamite was still pretty good” thing but, let’s face facts. Obviously, this was a post pay per view show, and it was a bit ad hoc, a little bit vibe deficient. A trifle middling. The bane of the Dynamite reviewer is precisely this; a mid Dynamite.…
I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: Three times a night, it all equals subliminal sequels
You gotta laugh, you know? The news will get’cha right down. If I told you that AEW Revolution was a newsworthy show because We are, what, about a quarter of the way through probably the most wretched year I can personally recall? So far, you could probably sum up the story of AEW in Two…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
Sometimes, I feel like a right heel. Not because I “body shamed” one David Finlay earlier in the day (more on that later), not because of the litany of shortcuts I take regularly in order to make life one degree more tolerable, not because of my generally miserable demeanor but because AEW consistently presents us…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: They put you down, they say I’m wrong
“Who the fuck is that guy?” – Prince Devitt asking incredulously about the mascot-like Captain New Japan “Fuck your dreams, fuck your life” – from AJ Styles’ New Japan entrance theme, Styles Clash “Well, if it isn’t the Three Star General!” – Kenny Omega on one certain second generation wrestler seemingly incapable of breeching that…
Crackin’ in heads and jumpin’ in and out of beds
We’ve looked for evidence for years, and the ribald, violent nature of the movie should put paid to the notion, but the missus and I have always felt that Joe Don Baker’s disheveled and sweaty Mitchell (1975) really, really, REALLY feels like it’s a pilot for a TV show. We get patterns of behavior, call…
More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?
I don’t always keep up on the match announcements for a typical AEW Dynamite; I don’t really live and die on that as so many seem to (look at Bluesky any Monday afternoon when a full card hasn’t been yet announced and watch the entitlement flow)… but I did see that there was something called…
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…
