I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: M is for murder me and A is for answering all my prayers
I have to be honest with YOU, my faithful readers (a couple dozen of you, bless your hearts): for a minute there, I kinda almost thought about not buying WrestleDream. Blasphemy? I dunno… yes, the show ended up great and I’m glad I bought it, but for more than a split second, I was a…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: A white knight on his steed
Part of consuming wrestling, for better or worse, is consuming online noise about it (he says, typing on his computer in order to post wrestling criticism online). Sometimes that noise is good, sometimes it’s tiresome. Of late, I’ve found it fairly tiresome. Some of the dirt worst discourse of late; takes and raging anti-takes about…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Lead me to your door
I mean… it was a good show. Good build to the pay per view. Shitty venue with a crowd that started fine and ended up as Florida goobers, but we’ll (probably) get to that. The ELEMENTS, the COMPONENTS of the show were good. But there are a couple of things that left a bitter taste…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Tubular boobular joy
I wonder what the annoying discourse will be today; AEW has too many belts (good lord; look at the other place, then), the Dentist wasn’t there in Pittsburgh, Kenny is a bad guy for sticking up for his protege (oops, that was YESTERDAY’S discourse), ohimgod, FIRE is too dangerous or what. Sigh. Am I thrilled…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: The traffic is waiting outside
The groundswell of Japanese people going about their lives, the push of bodies against them. The chance meeting on the crowded street afforded one more opportunity to say what hadn’t yet been said. Darby Allin and Bryan Danielson embraced amongst the tulmolt, one last defiant gesture before real life came crashing back down over them…

Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man
Quickie self portrait. The beauty of the digital canvas… you don’t have to deal with my pores / complexion, the actual patchiness of my slovenly beard, my receding hairline (I shave bald every month or two these days), my wrinkles, etc. I was handsome, once upon a time. Now I’m just old. Also, yes, I…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I’ll take the low road
Feels like football season started early. Did the Zombie Princess come back and we just weren’t told? The last couple of weeks of Dynamite have felt a little… Fed-y? Fedular? Fedtastic? I can’t call a show with a thirty minute FTR / Bandido / Brody King (I refuse to type the other thing) match BAD.…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Vegetable lasagna
As Forbidden Door finally comes into sharper focus, the eternal battle rages… is there too much New Japan content on the show with people the Western audience won’t know? Not enough New Japan? Where are their biggest stars? Why are there no New Japan tag team in the FD tag team tournament? Wither STARDOM? Why…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: There is no god up in the sky tonight
Approaching this a little different than usual this week. Normally, I like to think I’m fairly thick skinned, but last night after Dynamite, someone who I thought I was cool with kept attacking me over hating the finish to the main event. Like, maybe they had a bad day, I dunno… but I was told…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Ol’ Chicago, she’s a woman, make a young man a bum
If I liked Toni Storm better, that would have been a pretty killer title. Oh, how I LAUGHED when young Billie Starkz gave the Timeless one a gentle TAPPY TAP with the title belt in order for her mistress, ROH Forever champion Athena to get heat. Just the most GENTLE of belt shots. Athena keeps…
