More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Enumeration makes it happen
No real huge thoughts coming out of Dynamite. ‘Twas okay, and the stuff I liked I really liked. Did it hype me up for the PPV? I dunno. Some people take the Owen Hart Cup a LOT more seriously than I do… AEW has sort of established the Continental Classic for me a bit better…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Playing Favorites
Most of my favorite wrestlers are dead. Now THERE’S a way to kick things off… but it’s true. Obviously I can’t talk about my REAL favorite; he ended up a monster, brain turned to soup by concussions and drugs and grief (and let’s face facts; he was probably not a great guy prior to what…

You need a fire engineer when I lay this blaze
Why, friends, is HOMICIDE, one of the most important wrestlers of the early 2000s, retiring tonight on some tiny show no one has heard of? If my addled brain isn’t playing tricks on me, I believe the first time I saw Homicide was delivering a VICIOUS lariat to his longtime rival, Samoa Joe, a man…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Me stab someone down the lane
Even a SNOWICANE or whatever couldn’t slow the momentum AEW seems to be be building over the past couple of months. It does seem like, after long last, even if everything isn’t perfect, the ship has at least been righted. There are pitfalls along the way… the existence of EDGE… WWE trying to sabotage Forbidden…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Hold on to me tightly, I’m a sliding scale
I try not to judge the post pay per view Dynamites too terribly hard as those shows usually have to involve a lot of recaps and direction resets and etcetera (plus the fact that EVERYONE is probably a bit beat up from Sunday, surely one of the most hard hitting shows I’ve seen in ages)……

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Now don’t be sad (’cause) two out of three ain’t bad
Yes, Revolution was great. Yes, the main event stunk. It’s okay to point both of those things out, I promise. You’d think saying one thing was bad was a capital offense! Blame the wrestlers, not the reaction. The real diehard AEW fans will cop to EDGE / Jon Moxley stinking like a man covered in…

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…

Never trust a man whose ass is wider than a satchel
A pal posted the original of this online Sunday and I knew I had to try my hand at it; not sure if it’s from a manga or just a well meaning fan with a sign (sorta seems like that, like someone drew around Funk’s signature) or if it was from a magazine or what…
