I was geared up earlier; I had half of this column already written in my head. I was prepared to write a fiery defense of AEW in light of WWE poaching signing Stephanie Vacquer and the LEGENTIL ENGINES going into overdrive this afternoon, trying desperately to distract from what was looking to be a fun…

Happy Fourth to those who celebrate (which would not appear to be me as I’m writing this whilst at work). Not that there’s much to celebrate this year as my country slowly erodes into oblivion. Cough. At any rate, before I get started talking about Dynamite (which was a really good show and will be…

Whew! Good to finally have an episode of Dynamite that I can wholeheartedly get behind. Not that there weren’t issues or things I could nitpick… but this was probably the best Dyna in MONTHS. Big picture stuff first… the Will Ospreay / Swerve Strickland segment was REALLY good. Like, REALLY, REALLY good. How’s that for…

“Was the movie really bad or was I just in the wrong mood?” – Tom Servo Sometimes (read as: often), I feel like a picked a bad time to launch this blog. Not because no one reads any longer… well… YES, because no one reads any longer, but more because I picked a time where…

No, not Swerve’s house. That guy is great. There are two AEWs. There’s the AEW where Will Ospreay and Kyle O’Reilly kill each other for twenty five minutes; the AEW that casually put on that ridiculously great battle royal gauntlet, the AEW where world class wrestlers like Roderick Strong and Swerve Strickland struggle for ring…

Despite my dour, cynical leanings and tendencies, I promise… I do try to enjoy things. Now, you have to work HARD to convince me something is worth my time… but once you have me on side, I’ll give you a LOT of leeway. So it went yesterday, when I saw a LOT of people losing…

I’ve really whittled down my wrestling consumption and ancillary wrestling content consumption of late… I’m really down to a handful of podcasts largely because either the insights are can’t miss… or the creators are my friends. There’s only so many ways, so many times I can hear about the softness of AEW business, the dissatisfaction…

Shout out to the late, great Buddy Wayne. A big regret of my life is that I never got to meet him. Also, I must offer a belated mea culpa to the people of Everett, Washington. On Monday morning, I wrote the following: “At any rate, Vancouver was a terrific crowd, up for everything, even…

The most disappointing thing, when you’re writing a fresh, new blog that literally TENS of people read that features a weekly column about a TV show… …is when that show has an episode that is neither particularly bad nor particularly good and just sort of exists. Dynamite last night was not particularly newsworthy. They did…

Three hours plus, Art. Hopefully I can write this review in less than three hours. You know, from a storyline standpoint, I actually was pretty okay with this episode of Dynamite (plus Rampage) for the most part. The follow up to the TK piledriver stuff was fairly logical, and despite some gaps here and there,…
