More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You can’t escape, no one will survive
Look, I like Tomasso Ciampa well enough. Well, I did, anyway. Like ten years ago. “It’s not the years; it’s the mileage.” – Indiana Jones Hell, even five years ago, if Ciampa wanted into AEW, I would have been hooting and hollering. Probably, anyway. The succession of bigger and grander matches between him and Johnny…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Fix up, look sharp
Darby Allin is a polarizing kind of wrestler. Last night, during his match with the Bastard PAC, I was reading comments from people putting over his resilience, his tenacity. I was reading others saying “how is he the babyface?” and “kill the twink.” The most important reaction of all, that of my wife, was one…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I need somebody to shove
Not a bad Dynamite last night but a bit disjointed, perhaps, so this, too shall be equally disjointed, just some thoughts, no big picture whatsoever because what is the big picture, anyway? Sorry… huffing and puffing due to that run on sentence. I’m winded. I hate when AEW does angles / promos / gives you…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: ‘Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Friend of the blog BIG T (you know who you are and if the clichéd phrase “a brother from another mother” EVER applied, well Good LORD, it applies here) asked me the other day where my pay per view review was. Obviously I generally review every (or near every AEW PPV), especially as my overall…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
Well… you would probably have to say that the Continental Classic lived up to it’s name. I guess maybe not so much the “continental” part. I was never ONCE offered FINE CHAM PANGNYAH. But genuinely, from an in ring perspective, this was probably the single best tournament AEW has yet fielded of any kind. That’s…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You know you drive me up the wall
The Rainy City provided a lovely backdrop for AEW this week; hardly surprising since AEW is pretty well loved over in the UK. I could be a snarky boy and be like “well, then why didn’t they give them a better show” but the show was… aggressively fine. Honestly, it was really only one thing…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: It’s your world and I’m just a squirrel
Continental Classic episodes of Dynamite tend to be a bit harder to write about; I have some thoughts about yesterday’s show (mostly positive, obviously; it was a good show and the time went by very quickly) but there’s not a lot to drill into without boring blow by blow move recaps… that’s not really what…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: One guy’s wasted and the other’s a waste
Is ‘Nevermore: The Raven Effect’ worth a stream? I’m torn. It certainly wasn’t bad or anything; it was clearly made by filmmakers with a vested interest in the subject and was able to even achieve poignancy a time or two. On the other hand, if you’ve been watching wrestling since the time Raven was actually…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You f*ckin’ wit’ the champion (you already know)
Greetings, friends! DON’T WORRY; If AEW died the second Hangman Adam Page lost to Samoa Joe, it was resurrected when Kazuchika Okada stepped in the ring with Kyle Fletcher (he who implores us to say his full name but I don’t feel like anyone has a problem doing that in the first place). IS THIS…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Three hours will fill him, three hours will kill him
Oh, I kid. The three hours were mostly FINE. Didn’t love EVERYTHING, but as far as AEW go home shows go… I think this one was fairly good. I think there were only a couple of matches that had me HOOTING AND HOLLERING, but that’s not an indictment… and sometimes I have to stop to…
