More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Outside, it’s America
Obviously, this is not really a political blog… this is a place for me to whine endlessly about wrestling and comic books and other childish nonsense, but some things are bigger than “politics,” whatever THAT means. I’m devastated at the outcome of the US presidential election and afraid for my brothers and sisters who aren’t…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
Well, fortunately this week, I did NOT, in fact, see weapons in the hands of young children. I was a fairly harsh critic of last week’s showdown between the Mox World Order and the AEW Frontline (and rightfully so; all that nonsense sucked on toast and hurt everyone involved, perception-wise) with all the dorks wielding…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: This isn’t my love song / It’s more like my love-gone-wrong song
Dynamite the last couple of weeks has been a bit difficult to pin down. They seem to have directions that they’re following and they’re back to PROMOTING UPCOMING SHOWS (thank goodness) but… there just hasn’t been much good wrestling the last two weeks. The people who don’t watch AEW regularly or who try to make…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: All the locals hide their tears of regret
Scuttling around my various internet haunts yesterday, there was a weird vibe. I mean, there usually is after an AEW Pay Per View, successful or not, but there’s generally a feeling of “I hope they follow up all the cool stuff that happened” mixed with some “this company can’t promote, what are they doing,” a…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: When you’re down on your luck and they repo your truck- SPOW KAINE
What the… ?! Doing this on a Wednesday morning? My whole rhythm is thrown off. I should be playing Balatro or something, wiling away the half hour before I have to turn on my work computer. Oops, I’m peeling back the curtain a bit too far. I don’t know if I have much to say…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: It’s been five long years
So. Nearly a year and a half ago, there began to be whispers of AEW expanding and getting a new media rights deal. It was coming at a time of great upheaval for the company; it was after the infamous backstage brawl between the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, CM Punk, Ace Steel and, depending on…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Did you watch over the men who fell?
No Nostradamus I, but as Nigel McGuinness stood in the middle of the ring, asking for the missing Bryan Danielson to be counted out due to forfeit, I looked over to the venerable Mrs. Convoy and said “Final Countdown hits and Dragon comes out?” Her (once considerable) love for Danielson has long since died (once…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I’m getting back on my feet and I’m grooving to the beat
Feels good to have a decent Dynamite after whatever the hell last week was. Sure, Grand Slam sounds decent (and will likely be a wasteland, attendance-wise) but ultimately… past the business metrics and incoming TV deals and the moving goalposts and whatever… did the show entertain my surly ass? The answer this week was yes.…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Not much to say
After a tremendous pay per view, man, Dynamite left me cold. There were a couple of good things, but… I have to be honest… most everything was mediocre to awful. I don’t really have a lot to say about the show. I would rather talk about the good stuff, but in brief: Mariah May grinding…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Let me hear you cut it, DJ / Let’s make some noise / The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
I mean… talking about a so-so Dynamite practically feels like an anti climax after Hangman Page got his pyromania on (NOT a Def Leppard reference but it COULD HAVE BEEN) at the end of Wednesday’s episode. Instead, if nothing else, we should probably look at this instantly infamous ACT OF ARSON as compared to the…
