Beyond Wrestling: Heavy Lies The Crown- My Thoughts and Predictions

beyondSo if you are a wrestling fanatic like yours truly, then you are probably looking for something to watch tonight on New Year’s Eve as you prepare to see what 2018 will provide you. Well, I have an answer for all of you and it’s in the form of one of my favorite independent wrestling organizations in Beyond Wrestling. The company is holding an even tonight known as Heavy Lies The Crown which is happening at The White Eagle in Worcester, MA and features a pretty entertaining card. The event is also being held online (if you cannot make the event in person) on Powerbomb.tv and if you sign up with promo code BEYOND, you can enjoy a free trial and this event for FREE. One of the matches that stuck out to me on a card full of great matches was the return of Ring Of Honor superstar Flip Gordon as he takes on the young and very talented Wheeler YUTA. The first time I saw Wheeler YUTA was at the Beyond event Feeling Minnesota during a pre-show match and the kid put on quite the show that I was thoroughly impressed. Flip is just one of the guys whose resume and in ring ability speaks for itself and match him with the young talents of YUTA and we should have a classic on our hands tonight.

(web)-Beyond---HEAVY-LIES-THE-CROWN-(poster-2)Now the other match that actually attracted me to this event is the main event match between David Starr who takes on Bad Boy Joey Janela in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match. The mere thought of fans bringing the weapons is just pure insanity, but the question moving forward is will this top a match both these man had before in an anything goes match at Beyond Wrestling Presents Paying Paul. That match was absolutely brutal and I do not expect anything less when Joey Janela shows up to town. Another match that will get extreme is the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs tag team match that sees EYFBO (Mike Draztik & Angel Ortiz) as they take on Doom Patrol (Chris Dickinson & Jaka). Some of you may know EYFBO as the current Impact Wrestling tag team champions LAX (Ortiz & Santana), but tonight it’s back to their Indy names against the hard hitting Chris Dickinson who is just pure intensity and his charismatic tag team partner Jaka. The event also features one of the most exciting and top 5 guys in Indy wrestling Keith Lee taking on up and comer Josh Briggs in what should be a great battle of the big men. Matthew Riddle is holding an open challenge tonight because his original opponent Jimmy Jacobs had to cancel due to injury.

(oney-lorcan)-Beyond---HEAVY-LIES-THE-CROWN+(1)There are plenty of other matches on the card like Joey Ryan, Johnny Cockstrong, & Massage NV (Dorian Graves & VSK) taking on the Amityville Project (Dan Barry, Mike Verna, Rex Lawless, Ryan Galeone). AR Fox will be taking on Ricky Shane Page while Jordynne Grace takes on John Silver. Now that is just the main card, there is also a mega pre-show card that starts at 6PM ET that features matches like a Santiago Street Fight between Zenshi and Brandon Watts as well as Jonathan Gresham with Stokely Hathaway taking on “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams and many more. If that doesn’t entice you to want to watch this end of the year mega card then I don’t know what will. Oh and fans in attendance will have a special appearance by NXT superstar Oney Lorcan which is pretty damn cool. The pre-show starts at 6PM ET and the main card starts at 9PM ET so tune in to Powerbomb.tv and use the promo code BEYOND to check it out. Do not be left in the cold and Happy New Year to all you wrestling fanatics out there.

Predictions:

David Starr will defeat Joey Janela

EYFBO defeats Doom Patrol

Flip Gordon will defeat Wheeler YUTA

AR Fox will defeat Ricky Shane Page

Josh Briggs defeats Keith Lee

John Silver defeats Jordynne Grace

Joey Ryan, Johnny Cockstrong, & Massage NV will defeat Amityville Project

Zenshi will defeat Brandon Watts

“Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams will defeat Jonathan Gresham

“Filthy” Tom Lawlor & Chuck O’Neil will defeat American Strong (Rory Gulak & Jay Freddie)

Orange Cassidy will defeat Supercop Dick Justice

Brian Milonas will defeat Mikey Webb

KTB will defeat Damien Smith

4When it comes to different types of No Holds Barred matches, I have been scouring the internet looking for them. We’ve hosted an ambulance match, a deathmatch, and now we have for all of you out there a parking lot brawl. On the September 11, 2003 episode of WWE Smackdown, John Cena would battle Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero in a parking lot match. After months of the pestering Cena who was a much better and grittier character in 2003 then he is in 2017, Eddie Guerrero was out to end this feud especially after Cena had stolen his low rider. The two when the match finally started were just beating the hell out of each other as they slammed each other on top of the cars. After bodyslamming Cena on top of a car, Eddie climbed it and went to deliver a vertical suplex, but Cena reversed it and delivered it to Eddie forcing him to land on the roof of the car. At one point, Cena opened up a minivan and started grabbing weapons which was everything from a lawnmower to a shovel to try and use on Guerrero to which he failed every time to land a shot. Thank God for that because the lawnmower would’ve not been a pretty site to see what damage it caused.

5Eddie would proceed to use a car to his advantage as he hit Cena with the car door and then proceeded to beat him while he choked thanks to a seatbelt being around his neck. Cena would eventually do the same as he backbody dropped Eddie on to a windshield and then started beating him with the car door. The match was not pretty at all as both men would proceed to go through a car window at some point in the match head first. This is everything a WWE fan wants in a match and they were delivering. At one point in the match, John was looking to end it by delivering an FU (basically an AA) to Eddie on top of a car, but Eddie was able to reverse it with a hip toss. Then out of nowhere, Chavo comes out and smashes something on top of Cena’s head which gave Eddie the time to hit a five star frog splash from the top of a car for the win as he covered John for the 1-2-3. The rest as they say is history and we will always miss Eddie Guerrero.

Main Event Madness: Vampiro Vs Corporal Robinson

vampiroNow, if you were a fan of the Attitude Era like I was then you will all remember the time the Insane Clown Posse was involved with both WCW and the WWE. In the WWE, the Insane Clown Posse ran with The Oddities which was one of the coolest segments of the time that I enjoyed a lot. I then remembered that the Insane Clown Posse founded their own wrestling company called Juggalo Wrestling Championship or simply just JCW. So, the match I have for you tonight is from one of their pay per view called Bloodymania 5 and it pins one of my favorites from WCW in Vampiro challenging the JCW champion Corporal Robinson for his belt. The match started off with both men trying to gain the upper hand in the collar & Elbow tie up until a visitor came down to ringside. Evil Dead made his way down to the ring and eventually inside of it as he attacked both men delivering a double DDT. Then as both men tried to rise to their feet, they were engaged in a good ole fashioned slugfest.

vampiro 2Both men then traded advantages and big shots, but Corporal Robinson seemed to be on top of things, always cutting off Vampiro’s onslaughts. Both men were showing off what they could do from Vampiro’s educated feet to an impressive tornado DDT from the Corp. But it wasn’t until later on in the match when things started to get interesting as both men started bringing some toys to the ring like chairs and tables. As one of the announcers said, it went from being a classic wrestling match to something very violent. Unfortunately, no one went through the table which I am sure some people were bummed out about. Vampiro was on the advantage hitting Corp with kicks, the steel chair, but the Corp never gave up and at one point in the match it looked like someone gave him a shot of adrenaline because he brought it to Vampiro. At the end of the match, he was able to hit Vampiro with the bootcamp which is basically a cobra clutch leg sweep and he covered him for the 1-2-3 and the win to retain his title.

Killshot, Lucha Libre, Lucha Underground, Lucha Underground Season 3, Main Event, Main Event Madness, Mariposa, Marty Martinez, Weapons Of Mass Destruction Match, Wrestling

wmdWe are continuing right along with another edition of Main Event Madness goes No Holds Barred style. Now I have to be 100% honest in saying that I haven’t watched too many episodes of Lucha Underground which by the way airs every Wednesday on the El Rey Network. I decided to check out an episode from last year which was the second episode of season three and the featured match is a Weapons Of Mass Destruction match between Marty Martinez and Killshot. If you do not know what kind of match that is it’s basically a no holds barred street fight with military style weapons around the ring along with your standard chairs. For the first ten minutes of the match, they spent it on the outside of the ring with Killshot getting the best of Martinez with a Gatling gun to the head which busted Martinez open and just brutal beatdowns on the outside. After only being in the ring for only a minute or so, Martinez was able to take control by throwing a running Killshot face first into a ladder to create some separation.

wmd-1Most of the match, Martinez would counter to slow Killshot down, but then he would waste too much time allowing Killshot back into the match every time. At one point, Martinez superplexed Killshot on top of some missile cases and that slowed both men down for sure as they reveled in pain. After both men slowly made it to their feet on the outside apron of the ring, Killshot delivered an AA like maneuver to Martinez on top of a ladder on the outside and then proceeded to throw him back into the ring and deliver an double stomp from the top rope. He covers him for the pin, but Martinez would kick out at 2. The action just gets more intense after that as we see Martinez powerbomb Killshot onto a table on the outside of the ring and you agree with the crowd who is chanting “Holy Sh**”. The outdoing of moves continued with Killshot hitting an JML driver, but Martinez kick out of the pinfall attempt. At one point in the match, they have a 20 foot ladder set in the middle of the ring with a table on each side of it. Both men have climbed to top of the ladder and they are try to gain the upper hand by throwing hay-makers at each other. Then out of nowhere, Martinez’s sister Mariposa tries to help him out, but Killshot kicks her until she falls and goes through a table. He then gains the advantage on Martinez, steals his dog tags back, and delivers the swerve stomp to Martinez through the table. He then covers him for the 1-2-3.

Main Event Madness: Brock Lesnar Vs John Cena

Extreme_Rules_(2012)_PosterAt the time of Extreme Rules 2012, I felt that the WWE was lacking in the excitement category. I felt that the writing and the talent that the WWE had at the time was not showing their true potential. The only exciting wrestlers at the time were Daniel Bryan and CM Punk and John Cena in my opinion had become stale. The match he had with The Rock at Wrestlemania the month before wasn’t the greatest match of the night, but a lot of us were happy The Rock had won. But on April 2ND, when John Cena was blabbering about his loss to the Rock, we were treated to a special return. All of a sudden, Brock Lesnar’s music had burst out of the speakers and the man was back. He headed to the center of the ring and before any words could be spoken between the two, he delivered an F5 to John Cena. That set up the very fight we are talking about here on Into The Vault, it was the first ever meeting between Brock Lesnar and John Cena in an extreme rules match.

lesnar cenaJohn needed to win this match badly, he couldn’t go two PPV’s in a row with losses, he would have never been the same. Right from the get go, Brock tackled Cena and busted him wide open with some huge elbow blasts to the head that connected. Brock would brutalize Cena with tons of fists and some brutal knees to the ribs. I mean for a good 10 or 15 minutes, Brock was brutalizing John Cena. He was dismantling the fan favorite and any time Cena tried to gain some momentum, Brock was there to cut it off. Some time into the match, John tried to hit the AA, but Brock countered it and hit Cena with the F5. The only problem is Cena’s leg knocked referee Charles Robinson out of the ring. When the second referee showed up, it was too late.

lesnar cena 2They had wasted too much time as Cena kicked out. So, in response, Brock clothes-lined the referee out of the ring. A couple of minutes later, Brock would bring the steel steps into the ring as he used it for leverage when he locked in the Kimora lock. Cena was able to get himself free by using his power to lift Brock and slam him against the steps. Cena would try to climb the top rope to drop a leg in Brock, but Brock would move out of the way as Cena rolled to the outside. After Brock regained his composure, he used the steps as a launching pad as he ran into a defenseless Cena hanging on the outside of the ring, but Brock would stumble as well. Brock would try for the same move a second time, but he didn’t realize that Cena was able to get his hands on the chain as he used it on Brock Lesnar. Cena came back into the ring and he delivered an AA to a bloodied Brock Lesnar and he pinned him for the 1-2-3. John Cena would win the first of the three battles these two have had so far.

maxresdefaultOne of the best highlights of 2016 was the Cruiserweight Classic tournament that the WWE held on the WWE Network. Most of all of your 205 Live stars all wrestled in that tournament and they impressed the hell out of us. The next highlight from the network was the WWE UK Tournament that gave us a look at guys like Trent Seven, Mark Andrews, Tyler Bate, and one of featured wrestlers today in the bruiserweight Pete Dunne. A massive cruiserweight that beats the hell out of you like he was a heavyweight. Well, back in April of 2016, the WWE held a qualifying match for the Cruiserweight Classic at Progress Wrestling at the Electric Ballroom in Camden Town, London at Progress Chapter 29: Practically Progress in Every Way. which saw Dunne take on the Gentlemen Jack Gallagher. Jack started the match by showing Pete his superior grappling skills that looked like he was applying a butterfly submission right into a pin attempt. Pete would leave the ring to regroup, but when he came back in he showed Gallagher his wrestling skills with a front face lock. Jack being the showmen that he is, simply tiptoed his way out of the front face lock which angered Dunne.

38Gallagher continued to show again when he did a handstand in order to escape the side headlock that Dunne had locked in. Dunne would then try to resort to some brawling like techniques, but Gallagher was again on top of his game embarrassing the Bruiserweight. Gallagher would stick to his gameplan of grappling by applying the octopus like submission hold on to Dunne. It wouldn’t be long though until Pete had his opportunity after Gallagher failed to keep him in the hold. Dunne would start his path of destruction with a big elbow to the jaw and he followed it with a underhook lift and toss that slammed Gallagher to the mat and hurt the gentlemen. He would continue to punish Gallagher working on the legs with some stomps and even a reverse figure four leg lock. Dunne’s only problem in the match is that he allowed himself to get distracted by the audience which always allowed Gallagher back into the match. It worked again as he started trading forearm shots with Dunne to which he ended with not one or two, but three dropkicks that put him in firm control of the match again. It was the chance he needed to change the momentum.

39Dunne would attempt to regain the advantage by biting the hand of Gallagher, but the referee catching him gave Gallagher the chance to lock him into a single leg King Crab (really the Boston Crab). They were starting to throw everything at each other which spelt that the end was near. Dunne would get himself out of the crab and he would nail Gallagher with the crash landing, but unfortunately he couldn’t get the pinfall. He would then hit Gallagher with a powerbomb but Gallagher wasn’t giving up that easily. After missing a gentlemen’s dropkick, Dunne would roll him up for the pinfall, but the referee stopped the count after seeing Dunne use the ropes for leverage. With the referee yelling at him, it gave Gallagher the chance to hit him with the Gentlemen’s dropkick, but Dunne would kick out of the pin attempt at two. After enduring some offense from Dunne, Jack was finally able to lock in the Achilles lock which was all it took to get Dunne to tap out.

evolve 67For today’s Main Event Madness match, we are going back to the indies to check out a man who has been making a name for himself in the indies. We are watching Cody Rhodes taking on another man who say goodbye of sorts to the indies in the one and only Chris Hero. The two locked it up at Evolve 67 which was emanated from the Saint Finbar Catholic Church Gymnasium in New York City and according to cagematch.net, it is a highly recommended match to watch which is why we are checking it out today as well. Cody Rhodes had proven to this point that he could hang with the best of them but he hadn’t faced Chris Hero, a true legend of the underground who stood his ground and was originally let go from the WWE for it (as far as his weight issue). Before any action would ensue, they were looking for affection from the crowd which seemed to lean more towards Cody. Cody would ultimately extend his hand for a handshake before the match, but Hero wasn’t having any of it as he slapped Cody in the face. An ultimate sign of disrespect from the knock out artist, but no worries as Cody retaliated with a dropkick that caught it’s attended target. After putting the boots to him, Cody would look for a handshake again, but Hero wasn’t having it.

35To continue the mind games with Hero, Cody went to the outside and he shook the hand of everyone in the front row. Hero would finally go to shake Cody’s hand, but he attacked him during it, but Cody got the best of the exchange with some vicious chops and he lifted him for what looked to be a vertical suplex, but he held him in the air for at least 20 seconds or more and just dropped him on his face. The battle would pour out into the crowd where both men just brutalized themselves in the name of wrestling. Chris would eventually get the best of the mayhem as when both competitors entered the ring, he was in control of the match. During an exchange, Cody had reversed an Irish whip to the ropes by sending Hero towards them, but when Hero went over, he manage to land on the apron, but it looked like he had tweaked his knee a little during the landing. Apparently, he had entered the match with a knee injury of sorts, but he is a tough guy who wants to continue. So, the match was temporarily halted while Chris was walking it off. But it was all a trick as he shot out of the corner of the ring with a big kick to the head of Rhodes.

36Hero was in firm control of the match as he dished out the brutal attack of his which included the discus elbow (death by elbow), but he couldn’t get the pinfall. At one point, he was distracted by a fan on the outside who was holding a big head sign of Dusty Rhodes’s head to which he grabbed and used it as a weapon on Cody. After a little bit of showboating with the sign, Hero decided to climb the ropes with it, but Cody cut him off and delivered an awesome superplex. Hero tried to use the knee injury again to stop Cody’s run, but he didn’t buy it as he attacked Hero. Cody would then try to hit a moonsault from the corner, but Hero caught him and hit him with a cutter. He would follow that up with the death by elbow, but Cody refused to quit as he kicked out of the ensuing pin attempt.

37Both men were trying everything at this point to put the other down. Hero would go for the ripcord elbow, but Cody would counter. Both men would hit each other with impressive bicycle kicks and Cody even hit Hero with the disaster kick, but Hero refused to quit. Cody would try for the cross-rhodes, but Hero would counter it into a short piledriver, but Cody still refused to stay down. Hero would look to try the ripcord elbow again and he connected, but no dice on the pin attempt. At this point, you were wondering in the hell was it going to take to win? Then it happened, a moment that would shock the crowd for sure. Cody had just hit Hero with the cross-rhodes, but Hero had kicked out. While on the ropes trying to catch his breath, Drew Galloway came out of nowhere and hit Cody with a cowbell. After three rolling elbows and one ripcord elbow, Hero pinned Rhodes for the 1-2-3. Thanks to Galloway, we had a winner that night and a what a way to ruin a run.

1I have been a big fan of Braun Strowman since he debuted with the Wyatt Family only because I saw huge potential in him. Here is this massive figure that can be a dominant force as long as he fine tuned his game and that he did as it has paid off for him since he is getting the big push. On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, he began the show demanding competition from Kurt Angle and then he began decimating the locker room by taking out Golden Truth first followed by Kalisto before The Big Show stepped up to him. It then became clear that the main event of Monday Night Raw was going to Braun vs The Big Show. As The Big Show was making his way to ringside, Braun exited the ring and rushed right over to Show starting the match in a slug fest with Braun getting the best of the first exchange when he launched Show right into the security barricade. The Big Show got the best of the second exchange with some huge rights and lefts as he launched Strowman right into the steel steps. If you are expecting a wrestlimg match, you can forget especially with these two behemoths going at it.

18The Big Show continued his assault in the ring as soon as the bell rang by hip tossing Strowman out of the ring to which he followed that up with the world’s largest baseball slide. Strowman would finally create some separation with a big dropkick after he ducked a clothesline from the Big Show. Then it shocked me when they started having a wrestling match. Show had a wrist lock on Strowman and as he was trying everything he could to get out of it which included a kick up and and arm toss that broke the hold. Both men would then attempt to bodyslam and suplex each other with The Big Show getting the bodyslam. When he attempted the choke slam following that, Strowman blocked it and nailed him with a vertical suplex. The two would trade heavyweight shots for the rest of the match with Big Show nailing him with a chokeslam or Braun nailing him with a big powerslam. Nonetheless both of them refused to give up. Then it happened, The big Show had climbed the ropes only to be met by Strowman who would superplex him causing the ring to implode and collapse. There was no official winner, but Strowman was the last man standing.

Main Event Madness: Matt Taven vs Luke Robinson

15Back in 2011, WWE had their reality show Tough Enough where men and women competed for a contract in the WWE. During that season of the show, I truly believed that Luke deserved to win the season and get his WWE contract only because I thought he was better than Andy Leavine (The eventual winner). Unfortunately, the cards didn’t land in his favor and it was back to Indy wrestling for him which brings us to today’s match. At CTWE (Connecticut Wrestling Entertainment) annual event March In Madness IV, he would take on one of my favorite members of The Kingdom in Matt Taven who was accompanied to the ring by Kasey Ray. Matt Taven started out the match getting the best of Luke Robinson with the shoulder block and then a slap to the face that was to get in the head of Robinson, but it didn’t work. Luke began tuning up Taven with some chops and even hung on the ropes and swung the ropes until he flew off them. The redneck rock star was in firm control of the match and he continued it with an impressive Lou Thesz press from the middle rope.

17He continued his assault on the outside of the ring, making fans leave their seats so that he could continue pounding away at Taven while also getting him familiar with the Bethany Town Hall. Unfortunately, Robinson’s cockiness got the best of him eventually when Taven caught Robinson’s crossbody attempt and slammed him against the steel post. Robinson would try to fight back, but a stun gun and a spinning heel kick would halt any attempt from him. Taven would work on the small of the back of Robinson which was a smart strategy and anytime he nailed him with a backbreaker, he would go for the cover which was smart. After being in an abdominal stretch for a bit, he was able to break out of it, but he had to fend for himself in a fist fight with Taven which he would get the best of. This alerted Kasey Ray who would then climb to the ring apron to try and prove to be a good distraction as Robinson was caught with a superkick for taking his eyes off of Taven. Taven wouldn’t hold on to the advantage for long, but Kasey Ray would make the save again for Taven. After missing the Asai moonsault, Taven would get hit with a superkick to the side of the head. When Robinson went for the cover, Ray would interupt the count and Robinson would confront her. While he was doing this, Taven snuck up, hit him with the low blow, and pinned him for the 1-2-3.

Main Event Madness: Mr. McMahon/Shane McMahon vs Shawn Michaels & God

Backlash 2006, Easter, God, Main Event Madness, Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon, Shawn Michaels, The Spirit Squad, Vince McMahon, WrestleMania 22, Wrestling, WWE, WWE Backlash 2006, WWE Network

12.pngToday is Easter Sunday so I figured I would incorporate a little bit of the spirit of the day with a special match that took place 11 years ago. There was an angle going that had Mr. McMahon constantly testing Shawn Michaels and his strong faith and beliefs in God. Remember, nothing is safe in your life when it comes to Vince McMahon and a strong story line. So, Vince and Shane challenged Shawn Michaels to a no holds barred tag team match, but the only problem is that Shawn couldn’t choose anyone to be his partner other than God and the fight would happen at Backlash 2006. Vince was starting to insult Shawn and his religious background when Shawn decided to get things started by socking him right in the mouth. He took care of Shane with some rights and a backbody drop and then he launched himself over the ropes and on to Vince with a crossbody. He would then launch himself over the ropes on the other side in a moonsault on to Shane McMahon. Shawn continued his assault on Shane all the way up the ramp where eventually Mr. McMahon would join in on the fun. After slamming Shane into the Backlash staging, he launched himself at Mr. McMahon with a crossbody right into the staging area below.

13It looked like Shawn was going to be in control of the match, but as soon as he climbed up the stairs back to the ramp, he was nailed with the chair by Shane McMahon which busted him right open. Shane began senselessly beating Shawn from the top of the ramp all the way back to ringside. Things looked bleak for Shawn as Shane just kept chipping away at the then future hall of famer. At one point, it looked like Shawn was going to retake the advantage, but Shane squashed that with a big DDT. Vince was begging to get in the ring so Shane made the tag only to see Vince take off his belt. He started whipping Shawn like a government mule repeatedly. After he was done with that, he grabbed a metal trash barrel from Shane and he nailed Shawn with it keeping him on the mat and helpless. Vince would then resort to grabbing a microphone and he began patronizing Shawn by calling out to God asking him, “Where are you going God?” Then he would boldly state, “God has left the building!”

14The big mistake was that Mr. McMahon gave Shawn time to recoup while he was going through this spiel that when he attempted Shawn’s own move the superkick, Shawn caught his foot and started attacking Mr. McMahon. After hitting Vince with a running forearm, he kicks himself up to his feet only to dodge a running Shane who has a chair in hand that hits his dad with it by accident. With Vince down, Shawn begins to work on Shane as he hits him with a flying forearm, followed by the kick up, an atomic drop, a bodyslam, and finally a flying elbow. Shawn was feeling it as he tuned up the band and nailed both McMahons with a superkick (not at the same time). Instead of just covering one of the McMahons, Shawn decided to grab two ladders (to set them up on) and a ladder. Shawn climbed the ladder, but instead of jumping off to the McMahons, he jumped on The Spirit Squad who had just arrived ringside. Before you knew it, the Spirit Squad took care of Shawn Michaels and hit him with the high spirits through a table. That allowed Mr. McMahon to ultimately make the pin and steal the win from Shawn. Hey, don’t forget to like our page on Facebook at Facebook.com/MRXPUNCHOUT and while you are it why don’t you follow us on Twitter too.
