More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I wonder why in LA
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 Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Love will get us through the awkward stage
Double or Nothing Weekend started, for me, with watching Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Star Navigation night two. I don’t want to be here all day or I’d probably write more about that show than I would about the AEW Pay Per View. NOAH is interesting to me; like AEW, it’s also a company that struggles with…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Sing, you pricks
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…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: “I don’t know what the fuck Central time is. I need Everett, Washington time.”
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…

Chef Recommends: You Know you Ain’t Gettin’ No Younger
The thought occurs that I talk a LOT about wrestling I don’t like… but how about a quick recommendation for something I do like? Hence, a new, recurring feature: Chef Recommends. Have you TRIED the Clams Casino? A fake (aka digital) painting of my shoot El Desperado pyonsuke on some shoot drapery I think it’s…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Something for the Weekend
The old lady and I took in a LOT of graps this weekend. Three hours of AEW (man, I can’t wait for the shows to go back to normal; I’m a weirdo who actually LIKES Rampage on a Friday night, for the most part), NJPW Best of the Super Juniors night one, a bit of…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: All Surface no feeling
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…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Qu’est-ce que c’est?
I didn’t watch WWE Backlash: France, so I don’t really have any big thoughts about it (save one: Tanga Loa? Hahahahahahahaha. Get Hikuleo too, please. Loa was washed YEARS ago). I would like to talk briefly, however about the fallout thereof, specifically Triple H and the post show presser. WWE released a bunch of NXT…

More Dangerous than Dynamite: I got love in my tummy
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,…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: All I wanted was a Pepsi
Welcome to the first installment of “I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down;” yet another example of an old dork ranting out into the ether. Despite this column title, I am not particularly a Boomtown Rats booster and the idea of Bob Geldof bossing around his contemporaries to aid in his attempts at feeding…
