More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You know you drive me up the wall
The Rainy City provided a lovely backdrop for AEW this week; hardly surprising since AEW is pretty well loved over in the UK. I could be a snarky boy and be like “well, then why didn’t they give them a better show” but the show was… aggressively fine. Honestly, it was really only one thing…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Sucks me in when you’re aloof
Gotta be honest with you, gang… and if I weren’t, there’d be no point to me writing this OR you reading it: this was another week where I don’t feel like I have much to say. Not symptoms of burnout or anything, at least I don’t think so; I just wasn’t particularly moved. There was…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: It’s your world and I’m just a squirrel
Continental Classic episodes of Dynamite tend to be a bit harder to write about; I have some thoughts about yesterday’s show (mostly positive, obviously; it was a good show and the time went by very quickly) but there’s not a lot to drill into without boring blow by blow move recaps… that’s not really what…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: One guy’s wasted and the other’s a waste
Is ‘Nevermore: The Raven Effect’ worth a stream? I’m torn. It certainly wasn’t bad or anything; it was clearly made by filmmakers with a vested interest in the subject and was able to even achieve poignancy a time or two. On the other hand, if you’ve been watching wrestling since the time Raven was actually…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: You f*ckin’ wit’ the champion (you already know)
Greetings, friends! DON’T WORRY; If AEW died the second Hangman Adam Page lost to Samoa Joe, it was resurrected when Kazuchika Okada stepped in the ring with Kyle Fletcher (he who implores us to say his full name but I don’t feel like anyone has a problem doing that in the first place). IS THIS…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Three hours will fill him, three hours will kill him
Oh, I kid. The three hours were mostly FINE. Didn’t love EVERYTHING, but as far as AEW go home shows go… I think this one was fairly good. I think there were only a couple of matches that had me HOOTING AND HOLLERING, but that’s not an indictment… and sometimes I have to stop to…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Red skies at night
You know what? Despite some gnashing of teeth, despite the fact that there’s a pay per view nine days from now, so the timing is a little hinky… despite claims of “struggling” to fill the room… you’d have to say AEW’s annual Blood and Guts was a success, certainly creatively. Both Blood and Guts matches…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: No new tale to tell, forty seven years on my way to hell
Another year older; not necessarily another year wiser. What have I learned over the past 365 days? I dunno. I specifically recall yelling “wow, I didn’t know that!” about something or other the other night but the fact must have been so trivial, so banal, that it immediately fell out of my brain. Whew! The…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Just who’s pulling the strings
A pal of mine took to social media during last night’s edition of AEW Dynamite, and, after a particularly divisive segment, he wrote “Are you not sports entertained?” to which I simply replied “No.” “Imagine being so joyless that you couldn’t enjoy that segment,” some random chirped in. “Imagine being blocked,” I replied, and did…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: M is for murder me and A is for answering all my prayers
I have to be honest with YOU, my faithful readers (a couple dozen of you, bless your hearts): for a minute there, I kinda almost thought about not buying WrestleDream. Blasphemy? I dunno… yes, the show ended up great and I’m glad I bought it, but for more than a split second, I was a…
