More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Got a lot of spare time, some of my youth and all of my senses on overdrive
Jesus, it’s time for the next pay per view already? These three week windows SUCK; just no time at all to breathe. I guess it helps the Dynamite TV booking a touch; no chance to overdrive the various angles into the ground, but on the other hand, I feel like there are only a few…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Boogaloo dudes (I want to talk to you, all of you)
I blame YOU. Well, maybe not YOU in the specific, but certainly you in the abstract. Definitely that guy over there, and maybe her, too. Maybe… I dunno, a week or so ago, for some reason, someone dredged up that weird deal from a couple years back where Ricky Starks was sharing a ring with…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Help me lay the renegade to rest
Obviously it was already going to be an emotional show, AEW Dynamite celebrating the career of the stalwart second banana Rebel (not Reba) and her struggles against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gerhig’s disease)… …but then Andy Williams, the Butcher (of Butcher and Blade infamy) only went and passed away on Sunday at the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Life goes on after the show
What deadly dose of poison do I quaff before Dynamite starts; dirt awful discourse about the ratings Big Dave Meltzer is going to give the top matches at All In, SUPER dirt awful discourse about how no matches have been announced for Dynamite as of 2pm PST, or the SUPER, MEGA TOXIC discourse about how…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: That’s the colour of my room
O frabjous day! The clanky sounds of Chairgate (don’t ask) have given way to the sharp, barking sounds of Dogggate (super don’t ask). Sigh. Look, all I require is a decent episode of Dynamite and a star to guide her by. In This Week in Supplemental Material, AEW remembered Will Ospreay is meant to be,…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Jump in that water, be free
Editor Convoy here: in between taking notes and writing the column last night, I lost at least part of my draft in a fashion where it couldn’t be retrieved. Frankly, I didn’t feel strongly enough about either the show or what I had already written to reconstruct all of it. If this missive lacks the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: To hurt, they try and try
We are at that part of the weekly AEW discourse where jerks are making (some) good points but in insufferable fashion, the defense force is out in full force and mad YOU might not be into the PPV since this is a weird cycle, diehards are telling you why a LITANY of WWE people coming…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Clarissa wrestlesplains it all
I could write paragraphs, COLUMN INCHES about the difference between wrestlers using sand for a dumb, crooked finish and wrestling MANAGERS using powder or salt since time immemorial but I get tired of wrestlesplaining or being wrestlesplained to, so we can table that. A plea from ship to shore and all points east; I try…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I can blow you away or you can ride with me
You can’t say AEW gave you a sleepy post pay per view Dynamite THIS week, and to top it off, due to the impending holiday, a Thursday night Collision to boot. Then, on top of all that, next week’s Dynamite sounds insane. AEW feels fairly hot, feels like they are stomping on the gas pedal.…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
I dunno. The shows AEW fields after a big pay per view often feel kinda ad hoc, kinda thrown together… and while there were presumably the ends to a couple of long running programs (Chris Jericho and Ricochet, Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida)… I just didn’t think there was enough meat on the bone to…
