More Dangerous Than Dynamite: No pasa nada
Man, I was all fired up to tell you what a good Dynamite this was, already mentally composing what I was going to say, tallying up highlights and it WAS good, don’t get me wrong… but then suddenly, five minutes before the show ended, the SPIRIT OF JEFF JARRETT apparently seized the means of production…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
I dunno. The shows AEW fields after a big pay per view often feel kinda ad hoc, kinda thrown together… and while there were presumably the ends to a couple of long running programs (Chris Jericho and Ricochet, Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida)… I just didn’t think there was enough meat on the bone to…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Watch this space
Apologies and mea culpas; faced with this three hour show and the pay per view I don’t have any particular faith or interest in save one or two matches, I’ve decided to skip this and save my quill for that, if you get what I mean. Our time on this Earth is limited, friends, and…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t say something about one R.E. Turner the Third. Don’t worry; I’m not doing three thousand words on the eccentric philanthropist. I haven’t the time and frankly, I don’t know the lore that well. This is a light entertainment blog, not a heavy research think tank. The part…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I’ve got the straight edge
Dynamite was a hot show, in front of a juiced crowd in Fairfax, Virginia. It started with a memorable match, Maxwell Jacob Friedman versus Kevin Knight, and ended with an even more memorable match, Darby Allin versus Brody King. I’m guessing, just due to that last match ALONE, that everyone is probably raving about this…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
If nothing else, you’re going to gasp out loud at least once or twice every week for the next six or seven weeks as Darby Allin does something potentially career threatening to himself or to others. Good Gotch in the Great Ring in the Sky Above; this dumb dumb took an AIR RAID CRASH from…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I’m a skateboarder (I’m a Transformer)
I mean… Look. I like Darby Allin well enough. I’ve seen him have crazy matches, or crazy spots, anyway. So have you. If you’re the kind of wrestling fan who believes in “you deserve it,” there’s no question that the man deserves it; he’s put his body through Hell for wrestling, long before he came…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Can’t you feel it coming (Empire)
In the Convoy household, we have a kind of saying. Many moons ago, many versions of NXT ago, there was a thing where a number of good guys lined up in ring against a number of bad guys to have a big brawl, and that was clipped and dropped into the opening of the NXT…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Annie, are you okay, are you okay, Annie
Forgive the “lateness” of the column this week, please (pretty please with sugar on top) as AEW only went and AVOIDED THE BIG FOUR OR THE FINAL COUNTDOWN or whatever it’s called and placed Collision on Thursday. COWARDS. You know, Mrs. Convoy enjoys ROUNDBALL (how dare she; didn’t she get the memo that the only…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Risky, that’s your name
Ahhhhh. THAT’S more like it. Dynamite was back in the good gumbo column this week and, frankly, after the lousy week I’ve been having, a couple of hours of decent graps buoyed my spirits. There were nits to pick (it is ME, after all; I never saw something good that I couldn’t whine about) but…
