I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: Leonard Bernstein
I find myself coming out of Worlds End happy with the wrestling AEW can field, seemingly at the drop of a hat, but depairing at the focus on certain things, certain things I don’t like. I also despair at the state of (some of) AEW fandom, so desperate to tell you if you don’t like…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: To everything turn, turn, turn
Say what you will about AEW (Gotch knows I do every week) but they are a company UNPARALLELED when it comes to Pay Per View. Is every show perfect? Not hardly… but they have to be the company with the biggest ratio of delivering the goods when money is on the line. My beloved WCW…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: State of shock
Warning: post contains rambling, potential gatekeeping, eye rolling and gushing, plus rampant speculation. Very much a first draft, stream of consciousness thing. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. When I woke up this morning, a buddy of mine had posted a reaction (likely from someone a lot younger than I) from a person over the weekend, pertaining…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, for there’s life in the old world yet
Nothing to get hung about; just some thoughts re: ZED ESS JAY, the G1, Yota Tsuji and the state of New Japan Pro Wrestling. Of course, we watched the G1 semis and final over the weekend. Not bad; I don’t do star ratings but if you had me rank the three final matches I’d probably…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Precious and few
A little something for the weekend; some (mostly but not all) pleasant viewing as the GRADE ONE CLIMAX begins over in the hallowed halls of SHIN NIHON PROWRES. A word about this year’s G1; I’m not super into it. I realize that this is a transitional year, a year where they are starting to elevate…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Below the sliding doors
Still kind of digesting Forbidden Door a bit; featuring both the best and worst of AEW. Before I get into talking about the show properly, I’d like to make a special aside to one Mike Mansury: Take your Vince McMahon-loving, LED board-having, camera cutting when there’s action going on ass back to Stamford and the…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Love will get us through the awkward stage
Double or Nothing Weekend started, for me, with watching Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Star Navigation night two. I don’t want to be here all day or I’d probably write more about that show than I would about the AEW Pay Per View. NOAH is interesting to me; like AEW, it’s also a company that struggles with…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Something for the Weekend
The old lady and I took in a LOT of graps this weekend. Three hours of AEW (man, I can’t wait for the shows to go back to normal; I’m a weirdo who actually LIKES Rampage on a Friday night, for the most part), NJPW Best of the Super Juniors night one, a bit of…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Qu’est-ce que c’est?
I didn’t watch WWE Backlash: France, so I don’t really have any big thoughts about it (save one: Tanga Loa? Hahahahahahahaha. Get Hikuleo too, please. Loa was washed YEARS ago). I would like to talk briefly, however about the fallout thereof, specifically Triple H and the post show presser. WWE released a bunch of NXT…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: All I wanted was a Pepsi
Welcome to the first installment of “I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down;” yet another example of an old dork ranting out into the ether. Despite this column title, I am not particularly a Boomtown Rats booster and the idea of Bob Geldof bossing around his contemporaries to aid in his attempts at feeding…
