More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Que soy yo quien te espera
You’ll have to forgive the (relative) brevity of this week’s column… I’m very under the weather thanks to my plague carrying wife. She’s forced to go into our office three times a month and clearly the last time she was there, she caught THE DREADED SKUNGE and passed it along to me, so we’re coughing…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You rock me like the real thing
I don’t really have the energy to rant about four hours of AEW action being too much this week… and I think the more militant weirdos about it have largely backed off, anyway. People sort of figured it out… this wasn’t really a four hour “blockbuster,” if you’ll excuse the term, a four hour “pay…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Then four hours ’til it starts again
I mean, yeah, sure, we’ll talk about the four hour show AEW produced last night (well, really, it’s an episode of Dynamite and then an episode of Collision) but I have something I need to get off of my chest. If I’m talking about YOU, I’m sorry, but so be it. Seriously, if you feel…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Somebody tired of dreaming
Honestly, there wasn’t a lot of meat on the bone for me in regards to Dynamite last night. The best match on the show had a dumb, dopey disqualification (sigh), and… it is seven LONG weeks until All In, so that’s gonna mean a LOT of treading water for all of the top programs. Thekla…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Last week, messed around and got a triple-double
Another back to back Dynamite / Collision double header this week, due to, I dunno, sports of some kind. Hockey-ball or summat. It was probably for the best… while there was some stuff I REALLY liked on Dyna… the lack of actual, in-ring wrestling content left me fairly cold… but Collision… a show that the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I know it’s not your thing to care
I guess whether or not you dug last night’s Dynamite really comes down to how into SHENANIGANS you are. If you’re into FOUR segments with the Hurt Business / MJF, if you’re into GABE KIDD and around 12 other people being involved with a cage match (and it’s aftermath) or not. I’m not into either…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I kicked the leg out of your leg
Another back to back Dynamite / Collision taping means a ganged up review POUR VOUS. And hey, Dynamite was pretty great and Collision was solid. Both had a tiny bit more “sports entertainment” or whatever we’re calling it this week than I STRICTLY prefer, but that’s not a sin. I think the record will show…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: When you’re a boy, other boys check you out
If you read this, you probably don’t need the reminder or roadmap but wrestling, when you strip it down (ooh er, missus) to its bare essence… wrestling is more than a little homoerotic. Largely, it’s two dudes (sometimes two gals, sometimes a non binary pal) rolling around in their underwear. Have a problem with that?…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Tag team, back again
Sorry; at a bit of a deadline crunch this week so a truncated column… but I won’t leave you hanging too much. Last night’s Dynamite was another REALLY good show, full of great wrestling AND angle advancement. YES, VIRGINIA, YOU CAN DO BOTH. We had a Nitro-esque opening involving Master P (!), the Death Riders,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: This is what it’s like when worlds collide
Figured I’d delay MDTD until the Collision show was over since they were on back to back nights this week… and frankly, Dynamite was SO GOOD, anything I have to say about it is nitpicky (and my two big gripes would probably be considered nitpicks) and I didn’t want to bring anyone down. That being…
