More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Playing Favorites
Most of my favorite wrestlers are dead. Now THERE’S a way to kick things off… but it’s true. Obviously I can’t talk about my REAL favorite; he ended up a monster, brain turned to soup by concussions and drugs and grief (and let’s face facts; he was probably not a great guy prior to what…

You need a fire engineer when I lay this blaze
Why, friends, is HOMICIDE, one of the most important wrestlers of the early 2000s, retiring tonight on some tiny show no one has heard of? If my addled brain isn’t playing tricks on me, I believe the first time I saw Homicide was delivering a VICIOUS lariat to his longtime rival, Samoa Joe, a man…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Hold on to me tightly, I’m a sliding scale
I try not to judge the post pay per view Dynamites too terribly hard as those shows usually have to involve a lot of recaps and direction resets and etcetera (plus the fact that EVERYONE is probably a bit beat up from Sunday, surely one of the most hard hitting shows I’ve seen in ages)……

I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down: Now don’t be sad (’cause) two out of three ain’t bad
Yes, Revolution was great. Yes, the main event stunk. It’s okay to point both of those things out, I promise. You’d think saying one thing was bad was a capital offense! Blame the wrestlers, not the reaction. The real diehard AEW fans will cop to EDGE / Jon Moxley stinking like a man covered in…

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: And I say, it’s all right
I guess we should talk about the AEW releases? Do I have to? It IS my site, after all; no one is holding a gun to my head… that I know of, anyway. I dunno… this isn’t really a news site and I don’t particularly have any huge, revelatory thoughts you already haven’t heard about…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Why don’t we turn the clock to zero, honey
As ever, the AEW discourse rings dumb throughout the endless tubes of the internet. The latest non-controversy controversy is whether the upcoming Australian show was designed to be a pay per view or not and then, on top of that, there is suddenly a LOT of hand wringing that the good folk of Australia aren’t…

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…

TEN
Another year, another Voices of Wrestling Top Ten Matches of the Year list. 2024… look. Obviously there were plenty of good matches… but as my watching, my interest flag, I found coming up with ten matches that I’d genuinely recommend to be a bit of a challenge. Anyway, I recruited a friend, Tye, er… no,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I open up my hand and smack dab in the middle is a slow, slow fly
It seems like a pretty easy formula… you start Dynamite hot with dudes the crowd likes and that puts ’em in a good mood for a fun show… LO AND BEHOLD. With maybe one or two little missteps, Dynamite started hot, hotter than it has in a long, long time. Will Ospreay and his hotel…
