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.

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
Well, fortunately this week, I did NOT, in fact, see weapons in the hands of young children.

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…
