I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: The last great American dynasty
“The heat, my god, the heaaaat!” – Elaine Benes I was prepared to come here and tell you, brethren, that Dynasty was an all timer, and what a dummy I was for almost skipping it… but the final two minutes of the show saw the collective AEW audience sentenced to a summer of repeats and…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Can’t you feel it coming (Empire)
In the Convoy household, we have a kind of saying. Many moons ago, many versions of NXT ago, there was a thing where a number of good guys lined up in ring against a number of bad guys to have a big brawl, and that was clipped and dropped into the opening of the NXT…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Annie, are you okay, are you okay, Annie
Forgive the “lateness” of the column this week, please (pretty please with sugar on top) as AEW only went and AVOIDED THE BIG FOUR OR THE FINAL COUNTDOWN or whatever it’s called and placed Collision on Thursday. COWARDS. You know, Mrs. Convoy enjoys ROUNDBALL (how dare she; didn’t she get the memo that the only…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Risky, that’s your name
Ahhhhh. THAT’S more like it. Dynamite was back in the good gumbo column this week and, frankly, after the lousy week I’ve been having, a couple of hours of decent graps buoyed my spirits. There were nits to pick (it is ME, after all; I never saw something good that I couldn’t whine about) but…

I Want To Shoot The Whole Day Down: Three times a night, it all equals subliminal sequels
You gotta laugh, you know? The news will get’cha right down. If I told you that AEW Revolution was a newsworthy show because The greatest luchadore of modern times signed with the company, well, that sounds pretty good If a good for nothing Fed expatriate who is only in AEW because the Fed wouldn’t pay…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: They put you down, they say I’m wrong
“Who the fuck is that guy?” – Prince Devitt asking incredulously about the mascot-like Captain New Japan “Fuck your dreams, fuck your life” – from AJ Styles’ New Japan entrance theme, Styles Clash “Well, if it isn’t the Three Star General!” – Kenny Omega on one certain second generation wrestler seemingly incapable of breeching that…

Crackin’ in heads and jumpin’ in and out of beds
We’ve looked for evidence for years, and the ribald, violent nature of the movie should put paid to the notion, but the missus and I have always felt that Joe Don Baker’s disheveled and sweaty Mitchell (1975) really, really, REALLY feels like it’s a pilot for a TV show. We get patterns of behavior, call…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?
I don’t always keep up on the match announcements for a typical AEW Dynamite; I don’t really live and die on that as so many seem to (look at Bluesky any Monday afternoon when a full card hasn’t been yet announced and watch the entitlement flow)… but I did see that there was something called…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: She’s a lot like you- the dangerous type
You know, I was commiserating with a pal for most of the week about two major things I was not looking forward to on this week’s Dynamite (you know who you are) and both of those things ended up… well, if not FINE, then at least interesting. “May you live in interesting time,” as the…

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: When I realize with fright that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
A behind the scenes glimpse into how the sausage is made here at YOUR favorite lukewarm takes factory, La Zona Muerta. I watch a wrestling show (or something), lament that I don’t take the time to write about more non wrestling topics, beat myself up for awhile, remember that I have been writing about wrestling…
