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…

If you like Giorgio, you’ll LOVE Primo
Sorry, I’ve been a little quiet the past couple of orbits about the sun. I’m actually on a few days’ holiday, so I have been purposefully trying to lay low. However, the world of La Zona Muerta, your favorite lukewarm takes-based blog, never stops. Just today, no fooling, I received an email from a bot…

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…

A duckotomy and the power of negativity
This is very much me at my get off my lawn, yelling at clouds old man-est, so if that isn’t for you, skip to the end for a relatively amusing drawing where matter and anti matter seemingly collide on the page for your amusement. “To the terminally online members of Comics Twitter – you’re aware…

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…
