More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Bruv, bruv me do
All In is here and man, I dunno. I’m sure it will be good. Mostly. But it just doesn’t feel particularly special. Again, AGAIN AEW produces this ancillary content about Will Ospreay fpr YouTube and AGAIN, they dump it all on you (and I and everyone) mere days, mere HOURS before AEW All In, the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: That’s the colour of my room
O frabjous day! The clanky sounds of Chairgate (don’t ask) have given way to the sharp, barking sounds of Dogggate (super don’t ask). Sigh. Look, all I require is a decent episode of Dynamite and a star to guide her by. In This Week in Supplemental Material, AEW remembered Will Ospreay is meant to be,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Oh, Sammy. Sammy is so dirty
Have to say before committing eyeballs to phosphor and fingers to keyboard; this is not the best sounding Dynamite on paper. There are three weeks to Wembley, brethren; in the words of TONY KHAN HIMSELF, let’s fucking go! No time to slooooow down, so what is this card? Tonight, Dynamite emanated from a very lackluster…

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…

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…

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.…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: This is the Knocking Song; I’m knocking on a door
In essence, we’ve got two things to go over, here. Thing the first? No victory laps on Forbidden Door, please. Sure, it looks like a good card NOW, but that largely all came together between the time I last wrote in this space and the time I’m writing this now. I dunno if that’s a…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: With six, you get egg roll
Forbidden Door season remains an awful time for wrestling discourse; everyone up in arms over who is working, who is not, who is xenophobic (!), who has a visa, who has a potential deal on the table and most importantly, who is actually gonna BE on the Forbidden Door show itself. Meanwhile, AEW seems anxious…
