More Dangerous Than Dynamite: To turn your mind around I know will take time
I don’t know that AEW has a great record with go home shows. Often times they overshoot the mark, miss the peak, end up DECREASING interest in matches, etc. I’d say they made a concerted effort with the build to Revolution to avoid that, and even if I don’t love Mercedes Moné and her same,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Mutiny on the Bounty
It’s rare that I would say this… but it almost doesn’t matter what I feel about Dynamite (or Collision); this upcoming AEW pay per view is shaping up to be a best ever, full of big time singles matches with natural, logical builds while the other guys are counting on a weird promo, seemingly fueled…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Yes the world spins for you
Sometimes I feel bad when I don’t enjoy Dynamite as much as everyone else seemed to. Staring here at the blank screen, I’m not even really what I want to say or even if I have ANYTHING in particular to say about last night’s episode. I get it; people WANTED to enjoy the show, to…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: And I say, it’s all right
I guess we should talk about the AEW releases? Do I have to? It IS my site, after all; no one is holding a gun to my head… that I know of, anyway. I dunno… this isn’t really a news site and I don’t particularly have any huge, revelatory thoughts you already haven’t heard about…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Why don’t we turn the clock to zero, honey
As ever, the AEW discourse rings dumb throughout the endless tubes of the internet. The latest non-controversy controversy is whether the upcoming Australian show was designed to be a pay per view or not and then, on top of that, there is suddenly a LOT of hand wringing that the good folk of Australia aren’t…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Loneliness is not a phase
As much as I’ve come to hate the term, there is something to be said about “restoring the feeling.” I don’t think you have to look much further than last Saturday’s episode of Collision… a show that garnered near universal praise (at least as near as one can these days) and last night’s Dynamite, a…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I open up my hand and smack dab in the middle is a slow, slow fly
It seems like a pretty easy formula… you start Dynamite hot with dudes the crowd likes and that puts ’em in a good mood for a fun show… LO AND BEHOLD. With maybe one or two little missteps, Dynamite started hot, hotter than it has in a long, long time. Will Ospreay and his hotel…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
As much as I’d like to have told you Dynamite was a home run, especially after a weekend where AEW announced a stinky match and it was OPEN FORUM WARFARE between the haves and have nots… it was probably a solid double, at best. If that. It wasn’t all bad, certainly… Kenny Omega and his…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Return of the good gumbo
So God came back the other day. Look, I know I was not particularly kind to the Kenny Omega / Gabe Kidd match, but that was largely due to my distaste for both Kidd as a performer and the match layout casting Kidd as a virtuous defender of New Japan Pro Wrestling. KENNY, in the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: A self imposed penance
Unless I wake up tomorrow and it turns out David Zaslav sold off WBD to a conglomeration of Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Ari Emmanuel, it would be hard to say THE MOTHER OF ALL SIMULCASTS was anything but a success. The picture on MAX was GREAT; the feed looked like a million bucks. The…
