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…

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…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Lead me to your door
I mean… it was a good show. Good build to the pay per view. Shitty venue with a crowd that started fine and ended up as Florida goobers, but we’ll (probably) get to that. The ELEMENTS, the COMPONENTS of the show were good. But there are a couple of things that left a bitter taste…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Sane Planning, Sensible Tomorrow
This week saw an interesting Dynamite in a few ways. I’m not sorry to see the residency come to an end… we’ll get to that, but the show was bookended with some stuff that makes me VERY hopeful for the future. Look, I nitpick AEW every week. I wouldn’t say it’s my JOB; but it’s…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: War has always been the bosses’ way, sir
Looking back, I feel like I don’t have a great deal to say about Dynamite; not a bad show by any means, but I wasn’t particularly GRIPPED by it, either. I was a bit worried it was gonna be an endless parade of misplaced ECW nostalgia and was dreading that, honestly… but other than the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I’ll take the low road
Feels like football season started early. Did the Zombie Princess come back and we just weren’t told? The last couple of weeks of Dynamite have felt a little… Fed-y? Fedular? Fedtastic? I can’t call a show with a thirty minute FTR / Bandido / Brody King (I refuse to type the other thing) match BAD.…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Ol’ Chicago, she’s a woman, make a young man a bum
If I liked Toni Storm better, that would have been a pretty killer title. Oh, how I LAUGHED when young Billie Starkz gave the Timeless one a gentle TAPPY TAP with the title belt in order for her mistress, ROH Forever champion Athena to get heat. Just the most GENTLE of belt shots. Athena keeps…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: The first time was the charm when you came calling
Some things, maybe of relevance, maybe not, bouncing around in my brain the last day or two: “How are we gonna financially recover from this?” – Nick Jackson “I will never let somebody weaponize a friendship against me.” – Ricky Saints née Starks “Save the performative bullshit for your entrance!” – Toni Storm “Baby, life’s…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Aimed at you, we’re the cowboys from hell
“WHY DO THEY EVEN BOTHER HAVING A CHICK IN THE RING WITH A MAN IF THEY AREN’T GONNA GO ALL THE WAY?!” the bloodthirsty, woman-hating woman to my left thundered at the television. “This stupid intergender stuff is NEVER DONE RIGHT. THEY. ARE. ALL. WRESTLERS!” Right as she said “WRESTLERS,” Hangman Adam Page leapt over…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: New moon on Monday
I dreamt I had invited Tetsuya Naito over to my apartment and was feeding him Golden Grahams… and he was really, REALLY impressed (with the Grahams, not me and my apartment). “SUGOI!” NO, I don’t know what that means. Dynamite (and Collison) did NOT emanate from Seattle, Washington as they said no less than six…
