I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: 497 day absence (leg)
Well, All Out has come and gone. A mostly good show, drug down at times by a crowd who was really into ENTRANCES AND MOMENTS. There were other factors dragging the show down as well, some self inflicted. You know what ultimately ruined wrestling? It’s not superkicks or the DDT not being a finish or…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Vegetable lasagna
As Forbidden Door finally comes into sharper focus, the eternal battle rages… is there too much New Japan content on the show with people the Western audience won’t know? Not enough New Japan? Where are their biggest stars? Why are there no New Japan tag team in the FD tag team tournament? Wither STARDOM? Why…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Que soy yo quien te espera
You’ll have to forgive the (relative) brevity of this week’s column… I’m very under the weather thanks to my plague carrying wife.

A quick word about grift
“Psst. C’mere. Yeah, YOU.” I beckon you with a crooked finger. “Just a moment of your time, please,” I grin, slipping my arm around you in a friendly, perhaps overly friendly manner. “Ah, you’ve got an eye for quality, don’t you? I can tell right off the bat by the way you dress, the skeptical…

I’m beggin’ and I’m pleadin’ but you always tell me no
I was gonna say something on BlueSky (come say hi if you have a chance) but I didn’t want to deal with word counts and whatever else. Since LZM is a clearing house for my thoughts, I thought I’d jot down some quick ones about the absolute one. I like Ricky Starks. I DON’T like…
