More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I can feel myself fading away
Another week where I can’t tell you Dynamite was bad but it didn’t really do a lot for me, either. Another week where it feels like Colision might be the thing I’m looking for, instead. I dunno. Just not really feeling the residency, I guess; I’m about ready for the thing to end. And the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: There is no god up in the sky tonight
Approaching this a little different than usual this week. Normally, I like to think I’m fairly thick skinned, but last night after Dynamite, someone who I thought I was cool with kept attacking me over hating the finish to the main event. Like, maybe they had a bad day, I dunno… but I was told…

Even a SNOWICANE or whatever couldn’t slow the momentum AEW seems to be be building over the past couple of months. It does seem like, after long last, even if everything isn’t perfect, the ship has at least been righted. There are pitfalls along the way… the existence of EDGE… WWE trying to sabotage Forbidden…
