More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Give me a head with hair
I didn’t feel especially moved by Dyna one way or the other last night… there’s usually a show or two in their cycle to build the next PLE PPV that just treads water a bit, and this one surely did that, although it did feature some good in ring action (and some not so good…

Like Olympus above the Serengeti
I get it to a degree; Monty Brown wasn’t having thirty minute classics back in 2005 in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. I can sort of sympathize with the Powers That Were wanting Brown to take more indy dates, to get better at wrestling, before they would look at strapping him up with the NWA World…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Cheaper by the dozen
Sometime in the last week, TNA AEW died. RIP. At least it looked that way if you were following any sort of online discourse. Last week’s Dynamite had a bad rating, a record low for a normal time slotted episode and EVERYONE freaked out. Let’s leave aside the fact that it was the day before…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive
Sorry I didn’t grind out a Full Gear review. Honestly, I didn’t really have any great takes, lukewarm or otherwise coming out of Full Gear, and I knew it would be covered to death, anyway. The show largely went how I figured; oh, they could have killed Orange Cassidy a bit more dramatically, and maybe…

I’m beggin’ and I’m pleadin’ but you always tell me no
I was gonna say something on BlueSky (come say hi if you have a chance) but I didn’t want to deal with word counts and whatever else. Since LZM is a clearing house for my thoughts, I thought I’d jot down some quick ones about the absolute one. I like Ricky Starks. I DON’T like…

Happiness is a Warm Gun
A word on wrestlers and the convoluted set ups to their moves: Bang.

Chef Recommends: The Big Texan
Just a quickie for a Friday afternoon… legend has it that, on a tour of All Japan circa 1996, Dory Funk Jr. and his wife Marti went out to dinner with Giant Baba and HIS wife, the (in)famous Matoko Baba. Legend further has it that Marti was said to opine, during this dinner, that maybe…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Second gear, I lean right
I think I’m off the Mox train. I’m not sure I was every fully ON the Mox train, but now I’m off. Longtime readers will know I don’t particularly care for Jon Moxley; sure, I recognize his value to the company and so forth… he just doesn’t really do it for me on a personal…

The Road to Madripoor
Another fabulous fake homage; this time to one of the favorite comics of my youth. Do you want forty eight pages of Wolverine just relentlessly trolling the Incredible Hulk? Look no further than Wolverine issues 7 and 8 from tht ancient year of 1988. Wolverine is BRUTAL here, just nasty for no discernible reason. Hulk…

Bad Man
Was thinking about Vegeta sacrificing his pride to take the Majin power up shortcut and then, ultimately, sacrificing himself. *sniff* One of two moments in Dragon Ball that still get me a touch choked up. I used a “brush” in Procreate that was more like using ink. Mixed results, at least as far as I…
