More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Aimed at you, we’re the cowboys from hell
“WHY DO THEY EVEN BOTHER HAVING A CHICK IN THE RING WITH A MAN IF THEY AREN’T GONNA GO ALL THE WAY?!” the bloodthirsty, woman-hating woman to my left thundered at the television. “This stupid intergender stuff is NEVER DONE RIGHT. THEY. ARE. ALL. WRESTLERS!” Right as she said “WRESTLERS,” Hangman Adam Page leapt over…

Trouble Shooter
“I wanna be Jim’s Shooter!” some ‘clever’ wag in fandom said once in the 80s. HA HA GOT ‘IM. Cool way to enjoy comics, bro. There was a LOT of vitriol around Jim Shooter then in those times (and certainly extending into the 90s as he launched several failed publishing ventures), some of it warranted,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: New moon on Monday
I dreamt I had invited Tetsuya Naito over to my apartment and was feeding him Golden Grahams… and he was really, REALLY impressed (with the Grahams, not me and my apartment). “SUGOI!” NO, I don’t know what that means. Dynamite (and Collison) did NOT emanate from Seattle, Washington as they said no less than six…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Que soy yo quien te espera
You’ll have to forgive the (relative) brevity of this week’s column… I’m very under the weather thanks to my plague carrying wife. She’s forced to go into our office three times a month and clearly the last time she was there, she caught THE DREADED SKUNGE and passed it along to me, so we’re coughing…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You rock me like the real thing
I don’t really have the energy to rant about four hours of AEW action being too much this week… and I think the more militant weirdos about it have largely backed off, anyway. People sort of figured it out… this wasn’t really a four hour “blockbuster,” if you’ll excuse the term, a four hour “pay…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Then four hours ’til it starts again
I mean, yeah, sure, we’ll talk about the four hour show AEW produced last night (well, really, it’s an episode of Dynamite and then an episode of Collision) but I have something I need to get off of my chest. If I’m talking about YOU, I’m sorry, but so be it. Seriously, if you feel…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Somebody tired of dreaming
Honestly, there wasn’t a lot of meat on the bone for me in regards to Dynamite last night. The best match on the show had a dumb, dopey disqualification (sigh), and… it is seven LONG weeks until All In, so that’s gonna mean a LOT of treading water for all of the top programs. Thekla…

When cometh… THE COMMUTER
Peter Allen David got it. He was a journalist. He wrote stuff. The amazing thing was… Marvel editorial didn’t want him. They were locked in battle against the forces of the Sales Department, which is where PAD got his foot in the door at Marvel. It took maverick editor Jim Owsley (now known as the…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: Gambling is the finest thing a person can do, if he’s good at it
Feels good when you place your faith in a product and are justly rewarded for said faith. AEW pay per view remains the surest bet in the PPV universe (yes, even better than “Naughty Co-Eds open a Car Wash” vol. 6) and when the complaints are already coming in about how LONG the show was,…
