The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect DVD

So I bought Mr. Perfect DVD like last week, and I really enjoy the DVD. The documentary was well put together. I learn quite a bit more about how Curt Henning was as a person overall. He really seemed such a cool dude to be friends with. Growing up, Mr. Perfect was not really noticeable to me. I was into flashy characters like HBK, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, Macho Man, Undertaker, and among others. But watching this, makes me appreciate the man that I have never seen before, and how much he have help this business move along.

Watching some of his matches, was great. I have yet to see all of his matches on the DVD, but I've seen quite a few so far. The Bret Hart/Perfect matches, well 2 out of the 3 were the best. I say their match in WCW was not the greatest. It felt they tried to recreate the magic from their WWE days into WCW, but it just doesn't work in that environment. Out of all their matches together, which is not on Perfect DVD, is their match at the King of the Ring 1993 (available on the Bret Hart DVD).That match was pretty much technical, and listening to the commentary made this match special. The commentary consist of good ol' JR, Bobby "The Brain" Hennan, and the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

They also have his 60 Min. match against Nick Bockwinkel, his match with Hogan, Tito Santana, Texas Tornado (which I enjoy). There is an easter egg in this DVD. If you highlight Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. Perfect, left click it twice, and you'll get a promo where he destroy the WWE Championship and I think that's the same WWE Championship belt that they turn into the Hardcore Championship. Good stuff there.

My final thoughts on this is I think it's worth owning a piece of Mr. Perfect, and it goes nicely well in your DVD collection.

Ladder Match DVD Review (Part 2)

As I at least expected, I'm doing another one right now since I have some time on my hand to review the rest of what is on the DVD.

Disc 2

E&C vs. Dudleyz vs. Hardyz II: This is the second TLC match that took place at WM X-7 and basically the same thing from SummerSlam, only this time with involvement of Rhyno, Spike, and Lita. I thought this was pretty good, but not as good as their encounter from the year before. Still fun to watch, nonetheless. *** out of 4.

E&C vs. Jericho & Beniot vs. Dudleyz vs. Hardyz: The match that was really underrated, and never had much talk about until seen now. This was one of my favorite TLC match that had some crazy things such as Christian gunshot chairshot to Jericho skull, Hardy leg leap drop over the high ladder, Christian getting the ultimate 3D through the table, etc. I love it, and you sure will too. ***1/2 out of 4.

Christian vs. Edge: A match from No Mercy that had a taste of what Christian and Edge can do. It had it's own flavor and unique ending to the match. A conchairto from Edge to Christian on top of the ladder to conclude the closing of this battle for the IC Title. Not one of my favorite but still worth watching. **1/2 out of 4.

Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam: Fun and interesting battle here for the IC Title. Pretty much the same comment I would say above this. I find it funny they edit the part where some fan ran in to messed up Eddie and giving the fan a punch or two. Instead they kept a close up on Beniot face. I say they should've put the Rob Van Dam vs. Christian match as that was way more better than this one. **1/2 out of 4.

Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy: This one was for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and it was voted or was one of the MOTY. I thought it was one of it, but it didn't need to be that over-exposed like that. It had it's fair share of moment, and everytime I watch this, I wanted Jeff to win it more than anything else. Taker did look uncomfortable taking part in this match and look out of place. He did his job of trying to make the match work and he did. The Undertaker did gave Jeff some respect after taking several beatings from him. **1/2 out of 4.

Kane vs. RVD & Jeff Hardy vs. Christian & Jericho vs. Bubba and Spike: Another pick as one of my favorites. Lots of good, intense action here. I would say this match is more hardcore than the other TLC's. When you watch this match closely, you can hear and see the guys calling the action and the spots. I find that funny. Highlight of this match is RVD doing his Van Terminator onto Kane's face. You'll definitely love this match. **** out of 4. P.S. Did I mention The Hurricane was out of this one? He was taken out prior to the match by Trips and Flair.

Chris Jericho vs. Christian: This match was a bit long and weird. I say that because it seem almost like the first time these guys competed in a Ladder match. The crowd sound a bit confused at times as to where they would go O or Oooo! You know what I'm saying?! I won't take any credit away from these guys as they manage to make it work toward the last couple minutes to a good conclusion. This was also for the IC Title. ** out of 4.

_________________________________________________________________________

Disc 3

Beniot vs. Jericho vs. Edge vs. Benjamin vs. Christian vs. Kane: The first ever MITB Ladder match. Another favorite of mine and the best MITB Ladder match to date. Anyone who've seen this one knows who stole the show in this match. If your living under the rock, take a while guess..... if you still don't know, that person is Shelton. Jeez... lol! Anyways, just watch and you'll love this one. **** out of 4.

Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio: This was the Custody of Dominick and the storyline was kind of dumb, in my opinion. Anyways, the match was good. Some good spots and some botched moves. There was an interference by Vickie Guerrero that eventually cost her husband the chance to be the custody of Dominick. Not much else to say about this one. **1/2 out of 4.

Edge vs. Matt Hardy: In a "Loser Leaves Raw/MITB Ladder match" this was good, and yet short. Their rivalry before this was great. They had a Street Fight and a Cage match before culminating in the final appearance by Matt Hardy. Lita was the factor in that decision to have Edge stay on RAW, while Hardy leaves to Smackdown! **1/2 out of 4.

Edge vs. Ric Flair: This one was for the WWE Championship and it was a hard fought battle for Ric. He prove he can still deliver despite his old age. He and Edge made the match worth watching, and it was also one of the MOTY for some of us. You'll enjoy this TLC match. *** out of 4.

John Cena vs. Edge: We all know Cena can't deliver in a traditional match but he prove himself in this TLC match for the WWE Championship. This match took place in Edge's hometown, and the crowd was very hostile toward Cena, which made for a good atmosphere and a good match. The spot that I like was Cena giving Edge an FU from the top of the ladder through two stack tables. *** out of 4.

Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro: Another match that was PPV-quality for a free TV. I really enjoy this one and the crowd was great. Some same spot we've seen before but the shocking thing for me was Jeff missing Nitro andSwanton onto the Ladder, which just chringes my teeth every time I watch it. Melina facial expression was priceless. **** out of 4.

Londricks vs. MNM vs. Hardyz vs. Regal & Taylor: What a match this was. This match was originally schedule to be Londricks vs. Regal and Taylor, but T. Lo decided to give us a present and gave us this spectactular Ladder match. The sickest thing in the match was Joey getting his face busted and blood gushing down his face. OOOOOHHHWWWEEEE!!! There were alot of cool spots and a good brawl everywhere. One of the MOTY to closed 2006. **** out of 4.

So there you have it. That's all there is on this DVD. One of the best WWE DVD's to date. The only complaint I have is not putting the original match that started it all with HBK and Razor Ramon at WM X, which The_Dude and I agree. Overall this DVD gets ***1/2 out of 4.

Ladder Match DVD Review (Part 1)

First and foremost, I think this is one of the best WWE DVD's releases that they have ever put together. Anybody who is a fan of Ladder Matches, should definitely pick this one up. Onto the review:

Disc 1

Jake Roberts vs. Big Daddy Ritter (aka JYD): I thought this wasn't worthy to watch. As a matter fact, I skip the damn match. So to be fair, I won't rate it. This match was from the olden days of Stampede Championship Wrestling. Stu Hart wrestling organization.

Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels: This match was the true "first" no matter what anyone say. It wasn't broadcast on television, I believe, but taped for Home Video exclusives. Anyways, good, solid entertaining match that will eventually lead to one of the best Ladder match ever at WM, the first on PPV, between HBK and Razor Ramon. *** out of 4.

Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon II: This is their rematch from WM X and it took place one year later at SummerSlam. I thought this match didn't lived up to their previous encounter, but it had their own taste of flavor. Toward the end, Shawn won, and seem a bit pissed off about something. You have to watch to make your own judgment. **1/2 out of 4.

Triple H vs. The Rock: This match was great, I enjoy ever bit of it as if I've never seen it before. The psychology and the usage of the Ladder made this match one of the best out there. It reminds me of of the HBK/Razor match at WM X, only adding a notch or two to the match.This match took place at SummerSlam 1998. ***1/2 out of 4.

Edge and Christian vs. The Hardyz: The young lions truly made this match one of the top greatest ladder matches ever seen. You could tell these guys busted their asses for the match. Alot of innovative stuff that we all know these guys can pull. Alot of replys for you to see a second time around, and you'll never get tired of watching them. Amazing performance by these guys that got them a standing ovation on the next night on RAW. **** out of 4.

Dudleyz vs. E&C vs. Hardyz: The first ever TLC match that got ppls attention. It is probably and I think voted as MOTY by the viewers at home at the time. I sure defintely casted my voted for this one. It had it all. Bubba going through 4 stacks of tables, Matt falling 20 feet backward through a table via D-Von, Hardy crashing through 2 tables missing the Swanton, Lita getting spear, etc. The build and build to the conclusion of the match made this an all time great. **** out of 4.

3 Count vs. Jung Dragons vs. Noble and Karagias: A little change of things as we head into WCW Starrcade event. The winner of the match here would earn a title shot to Chavo's CW Title by grabbing the contract. It has a little feel of the X-Division and these guys put on a few cool spot to watch. I thought they tried their best to do the Hardyz/Dudleyz/E&C type of match, but they kind of lacked it. ** out of 4.

Chris Beniot vs. Chris Jericho: Good match between the two. They put alot of effort to make this match work. Both had similar styles and made this match entertaining to watch. The one spot I like here is when Jericho applying the Walls of Jericho on Beniot on the ladder. This match was for the IC Title.**1/2 out of 4.

That was it for the first disc. In between all the matches, thereis Todd Grisham doing his "thing" and talking to the guys that had involvement in the matches, and taking a look back at other matches that didn't make it to the DVD and show highlights of it. The rest of the matches will be review later on in the weeks. I hope you guys enjoy reading this.

My Random Thought

I said I would purchase 2 DVD's out of my list that I posted on my last blog and I have yet to do so because money had to be spent elsewhere. I'll eventually get those picks that some of you have suggested that I should purchase. Anyways, I did get a chance to buy one of the best produce WWE DVD's in quite some times, and that is The Ladder Match DVD. Would you guys like me to review this so it can help you purchase it, or should I just list the matches on the DVD and give it a star ratings with a small comment about it?! It's up to you guys. Let me know.

On my other random thought, Happy Father's Day to those who are a father or those celebrating the da in their life. Have a good one!

Help Me Choose PPL!

Okay, I'm planning to buy some wrestling DVD's and I need your help to help me decide which 2 DVD's (wrestling) I should get. Here are the choices:

1. Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen

2. WWE Armageddon 2006

3. WWE Royal Rumble 2007

4. Rowdy Roody Piper: Born With Controversary

5. TNA 50 Greatest Moments

6. TNA Best of the Tag Team

7. Some ROH (I want to get some shows to watch, so I need recommendation from the true ROH fans help)

8. Wrestling Greatest Managers

Those are some choices to consider at this moment. I haven't updated my wrestling DVD collection for quite awhile. Help me?!

Disc 2 and 3 of The Hulk Hogan DVD Review

Disc 2:

Hulk Hogan vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage for the WWE Championship 4/18/89: This was a great match. Savage trying to escape everyone of Hogan moves and putting Miss Elizabeth in harms way. Savage was the champion at the time and he lost his championship to Hogan. One of the better matches on this set. ***1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior in a Title for Title Match 4/1/90: The ultimate match was taken place in Toronto at the Skydome. This was a great match. Lots of back and forth battle right here. In the end, the Warrior was able to become the grand champion at WM 6. **** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter for the WWE Championship 3/24/91: At the time, Slaughter was the anti-American siding on the side of the Iraqi and being the sympathizer. It was battle for the Americana for Hogan to regain his championship at WM 7. This was fun match to watch with Hogan wearing the crimson mask and able to capture the title. After the pin, there was a sound glitch but it didn't really ruin the match though. *** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker for the WWE Championship 12/3/91: Undertaker was only champion for 2 days when Hogan put up his rematch clause after his defeat at Survivor Series. This was pretty much the same battle they had at SS only this time Hogan pick up the win for his 3rd title reign. Good match but not like their encounter at SS. **1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair for the WCW Championship 7/17/94: This was the match people were dying to see since Flair enter WWE, but that never happen until this event at Bash at the Beach. This was a good match but not really the level these two normally put on. Nevertheless, there were interference by Sherri and Mr. T making an appearance. Hogan was able to capture the WCW World Title. ** out of 4.

A clip of the nWo formation from Bash at the Beach 7/7/96: Anyone that had live through the nWo formation knew the infamous Hogan heel turn, and the speech that set the course for the nWo in the coming years. The speech itself deserve a ****.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. The Giant aka Big Show for the WCW Championship 8/10/96: This event took place in South Dakota in an outside environment with tons of motorcyclist of WCW fans. This match was okay to me. Nash and Hall made an apperance to help Hollywood to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. *1/2 out of 4.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. Sting for the WCW Championship: Starrcade was the event, which was WCW version of WM. This match was 9 months in the making according to Bischoff. Sting was already in his black and white crow-like form. The decision was already at Hogan side until Bret came out and had the match restarted and he then became the referee. In end, Sting became WCW Champion and made WCW proud. The whole lockeroom was empty to see the celebration. **1/2 out of 4.

Disc 3:

Hulk Hogan vs. Curt Henning 11/04/01: This was a rare footage from the now defunct XWF. Hogan happen to be in Orlando for a photo shoot and this match came about because Henning challenge him. They had a little background info on this match, so that's how I know how it happen :P. Well anyways, short match with Hogan usual winning tactics. *1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock 3/17/02: In the same venue at WM 6, Rock and Hogan brought out an awesome match at WM 18. One of the MOTY canidate in 02. The crowd was pretty much on the side of Hogan when he had his nWo comrade formation in the WWE. The Rock pick up the win in this one, with both men showing respect to each other. **** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Triple H for the Undisputed WWE Championship 4/21/02: It was the battle of the young lion vs. the old lion. Great match with an appearance from Chris Jericho and the Undertaker helping out whomever they wanted to capture the title. But both men refuse help and got their asses kicked. *** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan and Edge vs. Billy and Chuck for the WWE Tag Team Championship 7/4/02: This was a dream for Edge to team up with his idol. This match took place on Smackdown! and it was a great match. Edge with his style and Hogan style made this a must watch match. Edge and Hogan was able to become Tag Team Champions. ***1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. McMahon in a Street Fight 3/30/03: I thought this was a good match. We all know Mr. McMahon has limited moves but Hogan literally took McMahon to his limit. Weapons were obviously involved, with Hot Rod making an appearance and turning heel. But in the end, Hogan got the win and thus saving his own career. **1/2 out of 4.

Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 4/2/05: Nice little speech from Hogan and his thoughts on the state of the wrestling business, his buddies, Mr.McMahon, etc. Fun to watch. I'm not going to give this a rating because it's just priceless for any speech.

Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels in a Legend vs. Icon Match 8/21/05: The rivalry and build to this match was great. I love it when Michael made a mockery of Hogan. I bet most of you remember that. We anyways, great match with blood on the face of Hogan. Hogan took the win on this one. At the end of the match, HBK extended his hands and he told Hogan he just wanted to know. So this match gets *** out of 4.

The 4th Disc I had was the "Hogan Knows Best" show. There are two episode with the third being a sneak preview to his 3rd season. I regret not getting the one at Walmart because it contain some bonus matches. But overall I'm happen with what I got from Best Buy.

I sure hope you guys enjoy my review and maybe it might convince you to pick it up. I really think you should own it regardless how you feel about the man now. He is the reason why the majority of us are watching wrestling as a kid to now. If your young right now, I still suggest you learn something from the generation that made wrestling what it is today.

My overall opinion is that this is a must have DVD, even though some of the other best matches he had, should've gone into the Anthology. I know he had some really good classic matches that should've made it in. So the overall ratings for this DVD is ***1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology DVD Review

Well it's been awhile since I wrote in my blog. Let's cut to the chase, my review of Hulk Hogan DVD. Now, I notice out there that there is 3 version of his DVD out. One of them being only three disc set, while the other two contains four disc set, with one being an extra bonus matches, and the other containing a "Hogan Knows Best" episodes. I happen to pick up the one with his show. Whatever copy you got, you got to see some of his best career matches. Let's begin with the review.

Disc 1

Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant 9/13/80: This was their first fued from the olden days of the WWWF, I believe. It was quick and short with Andre getting busted open. I believe Hogan was a heel or so because he had Hennan as his manager. ** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Nick Backwinkel for the AWA Championship 4/24/83: This was Hogan first major title championship match. This had some nice back and forth battle, and Hogan was the face. Hogan was supposed to win until the decision was reverse because throwing your opponent over the top rope was a "disqualification!" I was like, "that was bulls*$#!" Well I guess that was the rules of the hayday. ** 1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Iron Sheik for the WWE Championship 1/23/84: This is the night Hulk Hogan became the man. This match was all out wrestling and Sheik did his best to hold Hogan down, but in the end, Hogan came out with the win with his patent boot to the face and a leg drop. *** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Big John Studd for the WWE Championship 9/22/84: Hogan was seriously get his ass man-handle in this match. Studd refuse to get body slam by Hogan or anyone else for that matter. At the time, Studd put up $10,000 for any man able to body slam him, which we all know went to Andre. Well nevertheless, this was a good match to watch and Hogan coming out with a win. **1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. "Rowdy" Roody Piper 2/18/85: This match was a prelude to what will become an ultimate match at WM 1 with Mr. T and Paul Orndorff in the main event. This match was crazy. Brawl and commotion from all corners and sides of the ring. Pretty much an all out fight. That is being said for the next match. *** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan and Mr. T vs. "Rowdy" Roody Piper and Paul Orndorff 3/31/85: Like I said before this, this match also had brawl and less wrestling. This time we got celebritiy like Cyndi Lauper getting involve, along with Mulhammod Ali as the special enforcer and Snuka and Bob Orton getting on the side of their respective buddies. I enjoy this one here from the very first WM. **** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. King Kong Buddy in a Steel Cage for the WWE Championship 4/7/86: I thought this match was okay with its share of moments of blood from King Kong buddy and Hennan trying to get involve. In the end, the immortal one was able to prevail. This is one of the venue of the three that was broadcast on PPV for WM 2. ** out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff 8/28/86: This match took place in front of 70,000 something crowd in Toronto crowd at an outside stadium. This match was good with the same stuff pull from Hogan and Orndorff. ** 1/2 out of 4.

Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant for the WWE Championship 3/29/87: This was the match everyone in the Pontiac Stadium and the world wanted to see. We all know what happen on this night when Hogan stun the world by bodyslamming Andre. They really pull a great match together for a size of Andre and the strength of Hogan. Hogan retain his title here at WM 3. **** out of 4.

Disc 2 and 3 review will be up tomarrow as I don't want to stretch this review too long out, and I don't want to make you guys suffer for reading this little old, long blog from yours truly. Enjoy this review for now.

ECW One Night Stand DVD Review

I purchase this DVD earlier today, and got done watching it. Let's not waste anytime. Here we, errr I go:

Taz vs. Jerry "The King Lawler": If anyone have seen the live PPV, we all know what happen. It was a quick and short match, and thank goodness it was at that. ** out of 5. I gave it 2 out of 5 stars because 1. It was a match, and 2. It was short. I had to give it some points just to be fair.

F.B.I. (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) vs Super Crazy and Tajiri: This was a fun match to watch. Every basic moves you can get out of all four men. That's all I'm going to say.**** out of 5. The after beat down from the Big Show made him look strong on this night, but we all know what happen to him during his reign in ECW.

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton: The crowd literally got on Orton nerves and that what made this match special. I think with both of them experience ECW the first time on this night, they brought out a great match, a wrestling match might I add. ****1/2 out of 5.

Mixed Extreme Six Person Tag Team: Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk, and Beulah vs.  Mick Foley, Edge, and Lita: This is probably one of the best hardcore action I've seen in a while from ECW. You got barbwire literally everywhere, plus with added Ladders, Trash Can Bin, Signs, Barbwire 2x4 with Flames, etc. This match had blood, and it was very violence. I still chringe to my teeth watching both Terry Funk and Mick Foley going through the barbwire board. I kinda didn't want to see Terry Funk bleed from the eye, which was disgusting. ***** out of 5.

World Championship Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu: This was one of my dream match at the time, and it was a great match. We had tables and chairs, and great wrestling match. It's too bad they had to ended the way it was. Sabu giving Mysterio the DDT through the table was sick, and it ended in a No Contest. **** 1/2 out of 5.

Balls Mahoney vs. Masato Tanaka: It was an average match to me. The reason it was average was because Masato was hurt heading into this match, which I think he got hurt in Japan. We all know Masato can deliver a great match, but this night wasn't it. ** 1/2 out of 5.

WWE Championship Match: John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam: This was the most anticipated match of the night, and if you witness it, John Cena literally got ate up, ALIVE! The crowd reaction was golden! Cena throwing his shirt into the crowd, and them tossing it back, well..... that was pure, hardcore, and funny ECW fans.... the action and atmosphere was intense. This match was a great match, and we all knew the results of this: RVD winning was one of the single, most important thing to happen to RVD. We all ate it up when he won via the help of Edge, and Heyman making the count. ****1/2 out 5.

Now the extra:

It included the Battle Royal from the WWE vs. ECW Head to Head, which was your typical battle royal.

Fans comments after the ONS event.

The opening segments of the premiere show of ECW on Sci-Fi. The segment was open up by Paul Heyman presenting the ECW World Title to RVD, with the appearance of Edge, Lita, and John Cena. Oh, some of the ECW guys also made an appearance.

PLUS: AS AN ADDED BONUS, THEY INCLUDED THE VERY FIRST ECW PPV: BARLEY LEGAL FOR THOSE WHO PURCHASE THIS DVD. I'VE WATCHED A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WANT YOU GUYS TO JUDGE THAT DVD FOR YOURSELF. IT INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING MATCHES:

  • ECW World Tag Team Championship: Dudley Boyz vs. The Eliminators
  • Lance Storm vs. Rob Van Dam with the after speech from RVD
  • International Six-Man Tag Match: Great Sasuke, Gran Hamada, and Masato Yakushiji vs. Terry Boy, Dick Togo, and Taka Michinoku
  • ECW World Television Championship: "The Franchise" Shane Douglash w/ Francine vs. Pitbull #2
  • Grudge Match: Taz vs. Sabu
  • 3 Way Dance: Stevie Richards vs. Sandman vs. Terry Funk
  • ECW World Title: Raven vs. Winner of 3 Way Dance

Overall, this was the best ECW ONS DVD that the WWECW put together. I give it a final: ***** out of 5 just because they included the Barely Legal DVD. Thank you for reading, and I will attempt to review History of the WWE Championship DVD, once I get a chance to pick it up.

The Future Blogs Will Be DVD Reviews!

Well since I don't want to write anymore personal experiences on my blog, with the exception of anything BIG happening, I will now go ahead and do DVD reviews, much like what The_Dude14 is doing. So expect some DVD reviews from yours truly soon. Here are some Wrestling DVD's I plan to review, once I picked them up, in the near future:

  1. WWECW One Night Stand II
  2. WWE Vengeance 2006
  3. TNA Lockdown 2006
  4. History of the WWE Championship

Any other DVD's I plan to review will be posted up, so I will keep you guys posted.
