More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Stop me if you think that you have heard this one before
If you’re looking for super hot takes on Dyanamite, I dunno if I’m your man this week. I largely found the episode dull and don’t have a lot to say about it. There was technically good wrestling, but a lot of it felt marred by stupidity (should Kyle Fletcher cheat before MJF inevitably does? Yes,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Open Letter (To a Wrestling Promoter)
I don’t really have a ton to say about last night’s Dynamite. I thought the first hour was pretty bad (Will Ospreay and Lance Archer was fine; it was the MJF scaffolding around it that I didn’t care for) and I think they’ve dropped the ball pretty demonstrably on the Toni Storm and Mariah May…

Fuck the Fed
Please forgive the crudity of my thesis statement. And the crudity to come. I don’t like WWE. There are a number of reasons, and they apply to ME; I don’t apply that same judgement to YOU if you still enjoy the Stamford circus… as long as you don’t try to convince me why I should…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Knife goes in, guts come out
In a way, it’s kind of a relief to have Blood and Guts (hereafter B&G) out of the way; we can concentrate on All In and Out and Arthur Ashe and etc. I mean, there are a million other things to worry about and all of us, not one single person who watches AEW… collectively,…

I wanna be EVERYWHERE people are doin’ ART
A few things I’ve drawn recently and a few words about the artists and comics I ripped them off from that they came from: Toth meets Kirby in a show I probably would have watched religiously had it made air It was the great Alex Toth’s birthday a few weeks back and I felt like…

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Precious and few
A little something for the weekend; some (mostly but not all) pleasant viewing as the GRADE ONE CLIMAX begins over in the hallowed halls of SHIN NIHON PROWRES. A word about this year’s G1; I’m not super into it. I realize that this is a transitional year, a year where they are starting to elevate…

Qu’est-ce que c’est?
PSYCHO II is a terrible movie. Okay, perhaps that’s a bit hyperbolic. It’s NOT terrible; it’s a bit incompetent, the reach of the director exceeds his grasp… but it’s not terrible. Tony Perkins isn’t awful in it (Meg Tilly IS awful, but she was also just a kid. I think this was her first big…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: It had momentum, it was gaining traction
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…

He’d like to blow our minds
If you knew me in what we call the elusive and increasingly laughable “real life,” you probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the 1994 DC Comics series Starman means one hell of a lot to me. An example of what I would call my “$30 at a convention table” style. Tony Harris used to…
