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…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Loneliness is not a phase
As much as I’ve come to hate the term, there is something to be said about “restoring the feeling.” I don’t think you have to look much further than last Saturday’s episode of Collision… a show that garnered near universal praise (at least as near as one can these days) and last night’s Dynamite, a…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
As much as I’d like to have told you Dynamite was a home run, especially after a weekend where AEW announced a stinky match and it was OPEN FORUM WARFARE between the haves and have nots… it was probably a solid double, at best. If that. It wasn’t all bad, certainly… Kenny Omega and his…

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…

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: 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…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Outside, it’s America
Obviously, this is not really a political blog… this is a place for me to whine endlessly about wrestling and comic books and other childish nonsense, but some things are bigger than “politics,” whatever THAT means. I’m devastated at the outcome of the US presidential election and afraid for my brothers and sisters who aren’t…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: To everything turn, turn, turn
Say what you will about AEW (Gotch knows I do every week) but they are a company UNPARALLELED when it comes to Pay Per View. Is every show perfect? Not hardly… but they have to be the company with the biggest ratio of delivering the goods when money is on the line. My beloved WCW…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: It’s been five long years
So. Nearly a year and a half ago, there began to be whispers of AEW expanding and getting a new media rights deal. It was coming at a time of great upheaval for the company; it was after the infamous backstage brawl between the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, CM Punk, Ace Steel and, depending on…
