WWEekly Wrap-Up for the week ending November 19, 2011 + Survivor Series predictions

And here we are.  The inaugural edition of the WWEekly Wrap-Up.  This is fitting for me because Survivor Series is a very personal Pay-Per-View for me.  It was the first live event I ever went to and certainly not the last.

The format of this series will be very rough around the edges.  It’ll primarily be my base thoughts regarding the shows.  I’ll be forward with you, though.  I’m not happy with the current run of the WWE.  Still, though, it’s better than anything rival TNA comes up with on a regular basis.  However, I am not so bias that I won’t aknowledge when TNA does something good… like having a women’s division that tries to be entertaining.  More on my thoughts about the Divas Division later, though.  I didn’t tune into NXT or Superstars this week, so I won’t be covering them this week.  That said, let’s begin.

Monday Night Raw from Boston, Mass.:  November 14, 2011

It’s a three hour special tonight.  This is basically a return to the status quo for me, though, since I watched WCW Monday Nitro for so long and, for a long time, it was regularly three hours.  In spite of this, it seems the WWE still seems to never have as many matches as Nitro did during their three hour time slots.  I know, that the WWE tries to give everything a purpose and I commend them for that… still, would a throwaway fun match be so out of the question?  I mean, heck, what else is your undercard going to do?

Michael Cole Challenge:  Michael Cole vs. Jim Ross

This is the opening segment of Monday Night Raw and it doesn’t start off strong.  The Michael Cle Challenge that we’ve been having pimped before us for the weeks prior basically ended up being a redux of “let’s humiliate JR to piss off the fans again.”  The Challenge was that if JR could beat Cole in all three events, then he could have his job back and Cole would supposedly quit the WWE for good.  Honestly, I thought this would be where Cole evolves from the announce desk and become either a general manager later down the line or a manager of superstars.  I know there are some people who enjoy Cole’s commentary, but I’m not one of them and was NEVER one of them.  He was just passable back when he was pairing up with Tazz on SmackDown, but I think I began losing patience with him when he teamed up with JBL and became Rey Mysterio’s cheer leader.  In fact, it actually made me get irritated with Mysterio when I was originally such a big fan of his.  Granted, I’ve leveled it back off since then.  Still, Cole just doesn’t seem to hit the right chords with me.  Here’s my thing about being a good heel.  If you want your fans to get hot over the actions of your heels, it still needs to be entertaining.  Bobby “The Brain” Heenan was possibly the single greatest example of a heel commentator.  He was funny, he could play the bad guy, and he was good at commentating.  Paul Haymen was another fine example.  You just loved to hate his character.  Michael Cole, on the other hand, is a chore to listen to week in and week out and I find myself plugging in my iPod for the non-promo portions of the show more often than not.  Cole just doesn’t do it for me and the fact that he’s being shoved down our throats so much makes me really question WWE management’s sanity in keeping this charade up.

Anyway, the first challenge was an arm-wrestling contest, which JR won in under a second.  Heck, you could have run this a hundred times in the time it took Cole to finish strutting… which was funny.  Next, was the dance competition which was example #1of “let’s embarrass JR again” on the part of the WWE.  Oh, sure, JR’s dancing was funny as hell and damn entertaining… but it also shows us why we’ll never be rid of these things.  JR keeps going along with it and will let himself have too much fun with it.  This was a prime example as he really seemed to get into… what I guess people will call dancing today.  The third challenge was the one that he was supposed to lose.  “Who weighs less.”  Now, granted, I thought something funny was going to happen, like, JR setting the scales back so he weighed, like, 70lbs, but that’d probably get nixed by the Interim Raw GM, former wrestler Johnny Ace.

But, no, JR outweighed Cole by 40lbs and lost the challenge.  Now comes to where the segment really lost its merit.  CM Punk comes out to talk about the segment being a waste of everyone’s time, implying that there was more to do with JR coming soon.  Instead, he talks for a bit, Johnny Ace comes out and sets up the main event of the evening, and Punk puts Cole in the Anaconda Vice submission maneuver.  It really seemed like Punk forgot what he was initially going to do… or he just implied he had more in mind than making Cole hurt a lot.  We’ll get JR for all of ONE segment at commentary as a result.

I am not a fan of the idea of managers, announcers, or non-combative personnel having major air time.  The WWE doesn’t use their entire roster as it is and this only makes their situation worse.   Hey, kids!  Remember Drew McIntyre?  How about Tyler Reks?  No?  Well gee whiz!

Anyway, Punk and Big Show vs. Mark Henry and Alberto Del Rio is set for later tonight as a result.  Great.  Weeks of build-up amounts to a match leading up to Survivor Series that isn’t even the main event of the evening.  Not only is the whole premise stupid, not only will the match only be generic, not only do we get to see JR get shown up for no good reason later in the evening.  Is a sizable time of us having a good strong commentary team too much to ask?

Hey!  Mick Foley is here!  If you don’t read the wrestling Internet dirt sheets, this’d been a pleasant surprise!  If you did, well, this was just pleasant.  Foley’s been one of the most entertaining performers for years and he generally only adds to the shows he’s on, be it commentary or a promo made only for the cheep pop.

 

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes and Hunico vs. Kofi Kingston and Sin Cara

Oh dear Lord do I hate Cody Rhodes’s new music.  If you wanted a male strip club remix of his Dashing theme, Smoke & Mirrors, here you go.  The only problem is that nobody wanted this remix.  Also, Rhodes’s mask is gone.  Kind of an uncerimonial way to get rid of one of the WWE’s best gimmicks, don’t you think?  Anyway, Rhodes and Hunico win in an average match.  Not bad, but nothing really special.  Rhodes and Hunico get the win, leading up to their participation in the classic Survivor Series-style match… more on my thoughts on that when I reach the predction.

Before the next match, JR gets booted from the announce table.  Great.  Now we can’t even get good commentary for a whole hour.

 

Mason Ryan vs. United States Champion Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero

For the record, I like Vickie Guerrero.  She does SUCH a great job of getting under people’s skin by doing so little.  How does she do it?  I have no idea.  Maybe it’s prejudices, maybe it’s long standing love for Eddie Guerrero, I dunno.  Anyway, another match to preview the Survivor Series-style match and boy does Mason look green.  I don’t know his wrestling background, but he’s either a WWE lifer or fairly new to the craft.  I don’t buy the argument of “The WWE Style.”  For me, the WWE style is only shorter matches made for TV.  That’s all.  Ziggler, on the other hand, has superstar written all over him.  The man is consistently in command with whatever he does and I don’t remember a bad performance on his part.  Not bad for someone who used to be a member of the Spirit Squad, eh?  Anyway, Mason Ryan wins by DQ, Ziggler makes a break for it, and John Morrison comes out, throws Ziggler back in, and Ryan has at him.  The match was also just okay, made no better by Ryan’s inability to put together a match.  Ziggler, of course, saves it.

Top of the hour, Mick Foley comes out, calls out John Cena for a stupid “This Is Your Life” segment.  They run a montage on Cena as a kid, like we haven’t seen THAT done before, then we get to a dude impersonating John Cena’s little league coach.  I’m… pretty sure Cena was a football player, but hey, he could have played multiple sports.  It’s a dull segment that basically has the impersonator calling Cena a former crybaby and a loser, which the Cena haters should appreciate.  Next, we get BULL BUCHANNAN!  Buchannan talks about being Cena’s old running buddy, B2 (that’s B Squared).  He thumped up how great Cena was… then talked about how his life basically went to hell since the WWE fired him including losing his money in some kind of racquet scam and getting rabies.  Yeah, he concluded John Cena ruined his life.  Fun stuff.  Finally, John Cena’s real life father came out and ragged on all of the Cena’s haters, saying they suck and acting like he tapped out the open bar at his hotel.  Generally funny stuff.  Foley’s end goal was to get Cena and The Rock to be buddy-buddy for the long haul, even after their match against Awesome Truth at Survivor Series.  Instead, The Rock walks in, Rock Bottoms Mick Foley, and walks out.  Simple as that, funny as that… pointless as that.  Just a diversion that we, quite frankly, didn’t need.  Hopefully something comes of this with Foley in the coming weeks so this won’t just feel like it was filler for a three-hour Raw.

Sheamus vs. Jack Swagger

Another match in light of the Survivor Series-style match.  This wasn’t a bad match until the ending.  It felt horribly rushed and almost “Super Cena”-esque in how quickly Sheamus recovered for the victory.  Now, Sheamus is a hell of a breath of fresh air compared to the repetitive nature of Cena and Randy Orton that we’ve had for the past few years, but I can’t help but feel he’s going to fall into the same trap.  However, he can at least mutually put on an entertaining match with his opponent and he works better when not strapped for time.  His matches where he picked up where Randy Orton left off in unnecessarily burying Christian in recent months are proof of this.  As for Swagger… I can’t help but feel like nobody really knows what to do with him.  They thought high enough of him to be a World Heavyweight Champion, but didn’t think high enough of him to do anything with that reign.  Not to mention he often loses the gag matches nowadays

Kelly Kelly vs. Natalya

And now we’ve come to arguably the most painful part of WWE broadcasting lately.  The Divas matches, or as I like to call them, the Beer Run Match.  With this ritual, the Divas bounce out to the ring, the horny males of the audience ooh, ahhh… then they go with the wrestling fans to go grab refreshments or souveniers for the kids.  Why?  Because the Divas Division has fallen.  Once upon a time, Raw was main evented and closed out by the Women’s Championship grudge match between Trish Stratus and Lita, two of the three women I primarily credit with pioneering women’s wrestling on a mainstream level (the third being Chyna).  Now… we get a match that’s won in under a minute mid-show with a roll-up after maybe three moves of dubious origin.  This is especially frustrating in Divas tag team matches where not everyone slated for the match actually gets to participate.  I think the most outgregeous offendor was a couple years ago when it was a 14-Diva Tag Team match… something as epically set up as a 14-person tag team match… ends within two minutes with only three Divas actually participating in the match… yeah, the Divas Division has been brown beaten by the WWE and putting women who evidently CAN’T put on a match like the Bella Twins, Eve Torres, Alicia Fox, and Kelly Kelly in the spotlight doesn’t help matters one bit.  I’ll vent about the Diva’s Division more another day, but  needless to say, this one’s just more crap.  Kelly wins with a roll-up in about 50 seconds.

WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry vs. C.M. Punk and The Big Show

This match covers a total of THREE of my pet peeves in the WWE today.  First, two world champions.  The World Championship tier should be one man alone who is considered the best of them all.  With two of these titles, both of them are insanely de-valued.  When history looks back at this, nobody will know who truly was top dog during this time.  Sure, it’s implied that the WWE Championship is held to a higher regard than the World Heavyweight Championship, but the World Heavyweight Title picture ends up being not only more entertaining in my book, but holds a less “for the sake of publicity” air about it.  The second pet peeve?  The World Champion, whomever it may be, billed under another match.  No matter what, if you have the top prize in the industry, you should be one of the two main events with the other world tier championship as the other.  I don’t care if you have The President of the United States and the World Series MVP against the Prime Minister of Canada and Jackie Chan.  The declared best in the world gets top billing.  The third pet peeve?  One of the superstars billed ahead is either John Cena or Randy Orton.  I can forgive it if it were Triple H since he married into the family for such a reason (if you believe such tales), or The Undertaker as the longest tenured superstar on the roster and inarguably the most celebrated, but for the world champions to be undercarded for the WWE’s poster boys really rubs me the wrong way.  I’d be more forgiving if it were a grudge match with a special stipulation or something like that, but for more of the CenOrton Circle really bugs me.  Anyway, Del Rio and Henry win a pretty decent match.  Glad to see they don’t make the champions look like total chumps.

Santino Marella comes out and talks about how he almost won the Royal Rumble in this very building earlier in the year.  Nash comes out, plays nice, and power bombs Santino.  He talks about how he’s still here and Triple H isn’t, referring to his attack on The Game a couple weeks ago.  Basically, build-up for their eventual match.  Not bad, but it still felt pretty weird.  Still cool to hear the old New World Order theme again, though I still prefer the Wolfpac’s entrance music by comparison.

Jonah Hill will be the guest star next week.  I do not care and it’ll probably be more of the same.  Advertisement for stuff typical WWE fans don’t care about and stupid comedy skits.

Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett

Since Wade Barrett won the previous SmackDown on Friday, it stood to reason that Orton would win tonight.  In a surprising twist though, Orton won by Disqualification.  This was a good thing as it keeps Barrett up as a legitimate threat to Team Orton.  The match was pretty good, particularly on Barrett’s part.  Orton, however, has begun to fall into the Cena trap.  Predictable moves and a predictable pattern.  On the up side, at least he tries to use other moves, even if they are generally rest holds.  The two teams brawl, ending our main event.

The final segment was The Rock FINALLY showing up after two hours and 48 minutes of a Raw that was themed just for him.  What does he do?  He cuts a decent promo and joins with Cena to take on The Awesome Truth.  He Rock Bottoms both of them and… that’s pretty much it.  He shows Cena up and leaves.  Great.  Way to build up Awesome Truth as a legitimate threat to Cena and Rock.  Well, Miz beat Cena the other week, so I guess it isn’t so bad for this week.  But this really speaks to the weakness of the double brand.  Now instead of having ten shows to build up a match, you get five shows for new content with five for recaps.  This match just didn’t have enough support story and The Rock was here for too little leading up.

Also, WWE, will you STOP WITH THE TWITTER PIMPING?!  I don’t care what’s trending worldwide on Twitter for 30 seconds before the new cult movie that’s airing on some obscure channel or whatever is happening on Monday Night Football overtakes it.  Although, I will admit, “Cena’s Lady Parts” trending is pretty funny.

Raw was a huge disappointment and being three hours, it felt like it dragged.  The matches ranged from average to aweful made no better by the fact that the theme of “Raw Gets Rocked” amounted to one promo and one Rock Bottom.  The best thing about the night was the return of Mick Foley.  The worst thing was a tie between another terrible Diva’s match and an entirely worthless opening that made weeks worth of buildup feel like a waste of time made simply to either piss off the fans or stroke Cole’s ego.  Or, maybe JR just has a secret fettish for being made a joke out of on national television.  Then again, tonight in particular, he seems to have fun with it more times than not so, why fault a man for doing what he loves, right?

I give Monday Night Raw for November 14, 2011… one and a half out of five stars.

Now onto what I believe to be the better show between the two, Friday Night SmackDown!

Friday Night SmackDown from Bridgeport, Conn.:  November 18, 2011

This SmackDown was much better than Raw by comparison.  I don’t know if it’s because SmackDown has better performers in general or if it’s because, being edited, they can make it look better in post-recording.  Yeah, for those who don’t know, SmackDown is actually recorded on Tuesdays, typically.  It can be pretty funny to hear someone talk about what happened “during the week” or “on Wednesday” during the Tuesday recording.  I find it very amusing when I go to SmackDown tapings.

Anyway, we begin off with a bang.  Mark Henry delivering a massive beat down on Internet favorite Daniel Bryan, Mr. Money in the Bank and one of the single most talented wrestlers in the world today.  Mark Henry talks about his blood feud with The Big Show, beats down Daniel Bryan some more, and leaves.  What was most amusing to me was that SmackDown commentator Josh Mathews talks about how no SmakDown has ever began like that.  Not only can I think of at least one other SmackDown that began like that, I can think of at least FIVE WCW Nitros and Thunders that began like that.

Yeah, in case you haven’t figured it out, I miss WCW… Even in the worst of times towards the end.

Speaking of the commentating crew, by the way… Michael Cole on SmackDown… first, I don’t understand why you need him on both shows if the goal ISN’T to irritate the fans.  Second… am I the only one who detects a little bit of a racist vibe from him towards Booker T?  I know Booker’s goofy sometimes, but it really seems like that Cole goes out of his way to run down and mess with him.  I get being a heel towards the face, Jesse Ventura did that with Gorilla Monson all the time (and was actually entertaining too), but… I don’t really feel comfortable half the time he does so.  I dunno, this one’s probably just me and I won’t touch on this again unless someone shares my sentiments.  Nothing particularly racial is said, but Cole’s antics really do seem less humorously evil and just more mean spirited to me here.

Anywho, first match!

United States Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Sin Cara

Two super-talented superstars kicking off SmackDown.  Good stuff here.  Ziggler is on top of his game as usual and Sin Cara seems to be getting more accustomed to facing WWE Superstars.  Ziggler wins and then Swagger comes to help beat down their Survivor Series match opponent down some more.  Mason Ryan makes the save, delivering monster air to Dolph Ziggler in one of the cooler spots in recent weeks.  I swear, he could have gotten thrown over a ladder in a ladder match with the kind of hang time he got.  This all leads to…
 

Mason Ryan vs. Jack Swagger

Mason’s green as usual, but Swagger does enough to make this match better than what it probably should be.  Yes, Ryan’s in-ring skills leave a lot to be desired, but I’m willing to let him work out his kinks.  I just hope he gets a lot of in-ring time during house shows to figure himself out and that he’s picking the brains of other big men in the company like Sheamus.  Ryan gets the win.

Christian cut a promo at this point where he basically continued this “complainer” gimmick he’s been shafted with.  It’s sad because it seems like he’s become a straw man for himself for what the WWE Universe’s “smart” fans (smart being a term used to describe fans who think they’re in the know with the inner workings of the business).  It seems he’s existed for putting over superstars who are already over, like Randy Orton and Sheamus, who have repeatedly beaten him in admittedly good matches over the course of the summer.  Funny that the WWE would pull something like that with one of their more popular superstars, eh?  Anyway, he’s in a leg brace for a legit injury he suffered in Europe and a kayfabe (fake) neckbrace from what the Big Show did to him a while back.  He yells at the WWE Universe and left.  Good heel promo.  I hope his feud with SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long goes into something big.  Honestly?  I’m ready for some change at the SmackDown healm.

 

Ted DiBiase vs. Derrick Bateman w/Maxine

Derrick Bateman was a face on NXT Season 4 and was generally pretty funny who subtly turned heel and began an engagement angle with Maxine.  Ted DiBiase was a heel in years past who used to be the “rich kid” who subtly turned face and began hanging out with fans in the parking lot.  A stretch of a parallel, I know, but still… anyway, an average match, an abrupt end, not much to say.  Have I mentioned I haven’t cared much for NXT since they brought Bateman in and it became painfully clear they had no idea what they were going to do with this season?

The Big Show was prowling around backstage.  We see him visit Daniel Bryan in the trainer’s room… who was being attended to by A.J. Lee, rookie Diva and geek goddess.  Y’know, I’d totally let myself get beaten to a pulp by Mark Henry if it meant a bedside visit by A.J. later.  Damn, WWE Superstars have a good medical plan.  All kidding aside, we also get Big Show running into stock heels Tyson Kidd and Jinder Mihal, leading to the latter being punched out by Big Show in a genuinely humorous moment.  I don’t know if the sound the hit made was piped in later, but it really made it for me.  Fun stuff.  Big Show predicts he’ll win at Survivor Series in a cliché promo, next scene.

Kofi Kingston vs. Hunico

I really hope we haven’t seen the last of Epico, because a deeper roster is what the WWE needs.  Yes, they have other Superstars in waiting, but seeing new guys, or someone who hasn’t been in the spotlight for a while, is always welcome.  Anyway, solid outing, Kofi wins, and we get some referee controversy again.  Since it screws over the heel, the typical fan won’t care as much.  This’ll probably come back to haunt Theodore Long later, though.

Diva’s Champion Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs. AJ and Kaitlyn

Pretty much a squash match, but it goes to show why I prefer SmackDown over Raw most of the time.  Even though it was a squash, they really put some effort into this one and it was infinitely better than the quickie beer run match we had on Raw.  Natalya puts a nasty Sharpshooter on AJ for the win.  After the match, it looks like we’re getting our first signs of an AJ and Kaitlyn split… and nobody will care.
 

Randy Orton and Sheamus vs. Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett

A solid main event to SmackDown to preview the 5-on-5 Survivor Series-style match for Sunday.  We had interference by Christian, who was supposed to be on Team Barrett originally, but was scratched from it due to his ankle injury.  Orton and Sheamus get the win by Disqualification wen Christian cold-clocks Sheamus with his crutch.  All hell breaks loose, Orton and Sheamus make a comeback, beat down the heels, Christian runs off, and the fans go home happy for the night.

SmackDown was solid as usual.  The matches get the benefit of not worrying as much about time constraints from not being live.  Therefore, the matches bad spots can be edited out, partially thanks to some clever directing in the ring, and everyone can cut loose for the most part.  Even the Divas tend to get marginally more respect here than they would on Raw.  The only down side is that some of the stupid things that happen in the WWE in general DO affect SmackDown too, including generally bad Divas matches, dumb angles, and poster boy-thumping.  Still, it’s the lesser of two evils.

I give Friday Night Smackdown for November 18, 2011… Two and a half out of five stars.  Solid stuff, but not as good as a show leading into one of the four big pay-per-views of the year should be.

Now, when we have a pay-per-view coming up, I like to make predictions for the show.  These are my own dumb thoughts and I hope you have fun counting how many I get wrong.

 

Graveheart’s Predictions for Survivor Series on November 20, 2011

Diva’s Championship Lumberjill Match:  Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Eve Torres
This match was made to supposedly give the impression that Beth Phoenix will lose her championship thanks to the numbers being on Eve’s side… which is stupid.  Beth Phoenix has Natalya on her side, but Eve has Kelly Kelly and Alicia on her’s.  The numbers game is taken care of, even if Natalya and Beth have more in-ring ability than TEN sets of Kelly/Alicia/Eve alliances.  Anyway, I’m picking Beth Phoenix to retain in this one.  It seems like they’re trying to push Alicia and I can’t help but feel the recent #1 Contender’s battle royal had her fall out of the ring on accident and they just improvised with Eve.  Maybe it’s a groundless theory, but I’m going with it.  Besides, if Beth loses… who challenges next?  Natalya’s been billed as incompetent lately and the Bellas can’t wrestle worth a lick.  So, I think Beth retains.

Classic Survivor Series Match:  Team Barrett (Wade Barrett, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Hunico, Jack Swagger, and United States Champion Dolph Ziggler) vs. Team Orton (Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus, Mason Ryan, and Sin Cara)

I think Team Barrett goes over in this one based on the push Barrett’s getting.  Mind you, the push could only be so Orton gets his annual ego-boost, so, who knows, really.  This one can go either way, but I’ll go on a whim and go Team Barrett.  Either way, this leads to…
 

United States Championship Match:  Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison

I have no idea of any justification for John Morrison to get a title shot over Zach Ryder wen whatever Morrison’s done, Ryder’s done at least twice.  Probably used to get John Laurinitus over as a heel (Johnny Ace from earlier), but yeah.  With rumors of Morrison’s eventual departure, there is the opening for a swerve in this match with Morrison going over.  However, as sudden as this match came about, I’m not counting on it.  I’m picking Ziggler.
 

WWE Championship Match:  Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk

This is not the end of this rivalry by any stretch.  This one still has a lot of mileage to go and that’s why I’m picking CM Punk to win this match… just not the title.  It’ll probably be a disqualification so we can have these two in a ladder match or a TLC match at the next pay-per-view.  That way, the WWE Championship doesn’t get overshadowed by The Rock and Cena again… though knowing the WWE, that may happen anyway.  Heck, Cena could end up in the match and we’ll have another Triple Threat match between these three again.  Still, CM Punk for the win, just not for the title… yet.
 

World Heavyweight Championship Match:  Champion Mark Henry vs. The Big Show

This is another close one in my opinion, but I think Mark Henry goes over.  I have no real basis for it and no real idea why he’d go over in this match.  It’s just a straight guess on my part.
 

The Rock and John Cena vs. The Awesome Truth

I’m going to predict that R-Truth and The Miz get the victory in this one to pump up the one-on-one match Rock and Cena will have at WrestleMania.  I predict that these two will implode and we’ll get our first glimpse of these two competing in the ring against one another… and boy will it be painful.  Listen, here’s the Truth, no pun intended.  I’m not looking forward to John Cena vs. The Rock.  Neither one can really wrestle.  Rock can put on a show… but that’s all these two have.  Unless we get instances of “The People’s Water,” and consistent high spots… I think this match between these two is going to be a huge bust and a massive blow to the WWE, even though WrestleMania will be a financial success.  But, I’m getting off track.  Yeah, I’m picking Awesome Truth for the sake of pushing the feud between The Rock and John Cena.

So, that’s it for the WWEekly Wrap-Up.  I’ll try to make these better in the future.  If you have any suggestions, please share them with me.

Until next time, this has been Master Graveheart, tagging out…
