Beyond Wrestling
Feeling Minnesota
April 30, 2017
Providence, RI USA
Promoter: Drew Cordeiro (Denver Colorado)
Ring Announcer: Rich Palladino
Referees: Tony P, Manny Souza, Kevin Quinn, Steve Dumeng
Our first Beyond show since November. The promotion is still going strong. Great job by everyone involved.
1. Pre Show Match: Jay Freddie v. Wheeler Yuta. W – Yuta (Submission)
Seeing Jay Freddie was worth the $35 dollar admission. He's looking great and gave the younger Yuta a lesson in mat wrestling. Yuta gets lucky and forces a tap out by the legend.
2. Joey Janela & Penelope Ford ("Janelope") v. Brian Milonas & Ace Romero. W – Janela & Ford
Penelope Ford managed to distract Acey Baby big time with her feminine charms, much to the dismay of partner Milonas who kept trying to get Romero to focus on the match. Janelope was outweighed by hundreds of pounds. Janela and Ford got in plenty of licks despite facing two giants. Janela did the near impossible when he body slammed and pinned Ace Romero. The annoying Chuck O'Neil attacked Janela after the bell and announced that Matt Riddle is after him at Americanrana 2017.
3. "Hot Sauce" Tracey Williams v. David Starr. W – Starr (Submission)
These two were fairly evenly matched though in our opinion, Mr. Starr is the more skilled and experienced of the two. Starr finishes Williams with an interesting leg hold resulting in submission.
4. Elimination Match: Karen Q. v. Deonna Purrazzo v. Tasha Steelz. W – Purrazzo
Karen Q. and Ms. Purrazzo put a double hold on Steelz, causing a tap out. Purrazzo then managed to pin Karen Q.
5. Dan Barry v. Supercop Dick Justice v. Johnny Cockstrong v. Stan Styles v. Jarek 1:20 v. Swoggle. W – Barry
Too many people for one match. There was some good comedy and some fun watching Swoggle bite everyone on the behind. It would have been more interesting to see these A players in singles competition. On the other hand, we've criticized Beyond Wrestling in the past for having too many matches on one card and we realize that there are a lot of people in the back to showcase. Barry finishes things by pinning Justice.
6. EYFBO (Draztik & Ortiz) v. The American Destroyers (Dijak & Webb). W – EYFBO
EYFBO sported their TNA Tag Team Championship belts as they entered the ring. This was a tough match for all but Draztik and Ortiz dominated. Dijak went up top one two many times and was cornered by the wily EYFBO who threw him on Webb who they then pinned handily. Webb was heard complaining to Dijak on the way out that everything Dijak told him to do didn't work. Trouble for The American Destroyers?
7. Alpha Sigma Sigma (Big Daddy Beluga (Brick Mastone) & Anthony Green) v. Team PAWG (Lufisto & Jordynne Grace). W – Team PAWG
Green entered the ring area with a small love doll with "Lufisto" written on its forehead. Poor taste. Beluga challenged Grace to an "ass-to-ass" contest and came out the loser. The women took control and threw Beluga out of the ring, after which Lufisto taught the punk Green a lesson and pinned him for the win.
8. Keith Lee v. Michael Elgin. W – Lee
The most interesting match of the show. Two giant men with surprising speed and an impressive array of skills. These two beat the hell out of each other and neither would give an inch. Elgin body slammed and German Suplexed the gigantic Lee numerous times. Impressive. Lee manages the win by putting a Jackhammer on Elgin.
9. Jon Silver v. AR Fox. W – Fox
Jon Silver kept calling out Battista but AR Fox answered the call. They were in the air, on the floor, diving multiple times into the crowd, in a virtual stalemate. Silver go too cute when he announced a "Batista Bomb" which Fox reversed for a roll up and the pin.
10. Doom Patrol (Jaka & Chris Dickinson) v. Jonathan Gresham & Zack Sabre Jr. W – Doom Patrol
Gresham has a real problem with Dirty Daddy. He could barely contain himself to keep to the form of the tag team contest. Sabre Jr. managed to cool him down enough to be effective but we couldn't help but notice that every time he had Jaka in a hold, his eyes were burning into Dickinson. Sabre Jr. showed us some interesting hand holds. The match could have gone either way when Jordynne Grace interfered, which resulted in Dickinson rolling up Gresham for the pin. Jordynne and Gresham had an on mic spat and challenged each other to a singles match next month in Somerville.

Dr Martens | Boots To Your Sole
For fifty years, Dr Martens (or Doc Martins, as we used to call them in our younger, more frivolous days when the world seemed brighter and the twins specters of cellulite and taxes seemed to be mere fairy tales) have been dominating the hard wearing shoe / boot market.
At one time, if you didn't have Dr Marten boots, you weren't really a person. Sure, you were a carbon based humanoid, but until you slipped those boots on you were barely alive.
Dr Martens have managed to do what so many companies would like to do, but don't know how. They've managed to appeal to every sector of the market without becoming generic and boring. That's a skill, my foot friends, a valuable skill. A pair of Dr Marten boots can be worn everywhere from high octane race meetings, to rock shows, to a friendly village maypole dance - in a war zone.
What's the secret to their success? Surely it must be the fact that they were designed by a German army medic named Klaus Märtens. (You already begin to see where the 'Dr Marten's moniker came from, although the name was clearly anglicized in order to avoid the need to mention the war. We must not mention the war, if at all possible.)
Klaus had hurt his ankle skiing, and needed an air cushioned boot that would allow him to continue his duties in comfort, so he created the design for Dr Martens and went on ministering to the ill.
Dr Martens would probably have faded into oblivion had it not been for Peter Townshend, guitarist for The Who, deciding that other footwear available on the market was far too prissy for his liking. He started wearing the air cushioned boots on stage and the rest is history, Dr Martens are now available in more styles and colors than the good Dr Martens could probably ever have imagined, in spite of a brush with extremely negative publicity in the 1980's, when skinheads and other violent types decided that Dr Martens were the best footwear for people who hated everything and everyone. Ironically, Dr Martens were also the footwear of choice for the policemen who chased them down and put them in headlocks, so eventually the reputation of the boots became fairly neutral, yet entirely epic.
Their continuing popularity in a world where so much as looking at a policeman will get you arrested can be credited to two facts, one, they look 'hard', and at the same time, fashionable. Two, they are incredibly comfortable, so that one feels as if one is walking on air whilst one caterwauls filthy lyrics into the night air or gets into a kicking competition with a concrete wall.

A federal judge here has awarded Pfizer, Inc., $44.7 million in damages, interest and legal fees in the drug giant's six-year-old patent infringement suit against American Hospital Supply, Inc., an arch-rival in the mechanical lung market.
The award, involving subsidiaries of the two medical companies, was made by U.S. District Judge Wallace Tashima and is believed to be among the largest judgments in U.S. patent history stemming from a jury verdict. It represents $35 million in damages, or double the $17.5 million originally awarded in October by a Los Angeles jury, plus $8.8 million in interest and $800,000 in attorney fees, according to John Kidd, attorney for New York-based Pfizer. The company has a plant in Easton.

Wow! What a great word! I just love this powerful expression. There's just so much packed into it. But what does it mean to have this virtue? What is it to persevere? Can we, in our daily lives, contain the fundamental qualities of perseverance? I think so. But that depends upon you.
So what is the basic definition of this term? Perseverance stands for many things, but mostly it is a noun that represents a steadfastness or firmness to stand within the midst of difficulties and trials. To get a better idea for the term perseverance, here are a few synonyms:
- Determination
- Endurance
- Steadfastness
- Diligence
- Dedication
- Tenacity
- Commitment
These words (and I hate to simply call them words, they are so much more) prove character true. They are a set of virtues that not many people have today. And perseverance is truly shown forth in its own definition. You can't really see perseverance in action when things are going well. But as soon as trials and tribulations come, perseverance shines forth...in some. But it's beautiful when it does. And it provides the owner with success in many areas of life.
"Life is utterly filled with failure after failure. Keep trying anyway, the sweet taste of success makes it worth every last second." - Anonymous
"The test of a true entrepreneur is just DOING until you find the solutions to your problems. You never stop, you never give up, and you NEVER quit!" - Anonymous
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence and Determination. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." – Calvin Coolidge
"I deal with rejection by persisting, not by taking my business elsewhere. My maxim comes from Samuel Beckett, a personal hero of mine: 'Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' You won't believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better." – Adam Gottesfeld in The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss
This is the time for you and I to grow. When these times of suffering come, what are we going to say? How are we going to act? I've got 2 daughters and one on the way. What am I going to say to them? I know I won't be a man if I can't tell them I stood up in the face of trials and conquered. They won't trust me. They won't feel safe and protected. So I better act now. I better make perseverance a part of the very core of my being.
So take this challenge with me. We're in this together. We'll be the people who see the dawn, even though it is black all around us. We will not listen to common thought. We must not. We must persist. We must continue. We must persevere!

Earlier this week, something happened involving Twitter that has convinced me and a lot of other social media watchers that on-the-fly "flash" advocacy—rapidly, self-assembled groups formed to instantly solve a problem—has already arrived, big-time.
On Tuesday, a Chicago design executive, David Armano, posted an emotional tweet on his Twitter feed to request help for Daniella, an acquaintance in a bad spot. We've all heard about social media appeals but this one turned into a genuine flash cause, as Armano's network of more than 8,000 followers galvanized into action. Within a few hours on Tuesday, Armano's crowd appeal had raised more than $5,000. By Wednesday, thousands of tweets had poured into his Twitter feed along with donations topping $11,000. By noon today, the cash raised was topping $15,000—and growing. "OK friends," Daniella tweeted gratefully this morning. "Thank you for an unforgettable day and a half. I'm cooked. Really am so proud at how you came through." [One of the people who donated to Daniella called the flash group, in a tweet, "the social media compassion mafia" and congratulated it for successfully halting Daniella's eviction.]
The thing is, Daniella's digital rescue wasn't an isolated phenomenon. In just the past 2-3 months, Twitter-fueled "flash causes" have been rising up from the grass roots more frequently to solve a problem for someone or some specific group of people sharing a common concern. [Much has already been written about EpicChange.org's recent Tweetsgiving campaign, which raised $10,000 in the 48 hours before Thanksgiving to build a classroom in Tanzania.] Earlier this fall, techPresident blogger Nancy Scola and colleague Alison Fine organized the Twitter Vote Report, which began as an effort on election day to create a real-time citizen-watch campaign to guard against voter intimidation—but ended up providing a way for mostly first-time voters to share their personal experiences voting in a presidential election.
So what does all of this mean for social action? Can people like Dave Armano or EpicChange organizers Stacey Monk and Avi Kaplan be as successful a second time, if, say, they tried mobilizing their networks again the next week—but this time on behalf of someone or something else? What makes people more prone to staging a successful flash cause than others? Are flash causes a temporary phenomenon fueled by the novelty of the technology, itself, or yet another powerful example of how one's social capital online can be more powerful, in some ways, than personal wealth in fighting social ills?
There's no science yet on the subject, of course, but there seems to be a lot of common attributes in these flash campaigns so far: a distrust of the establishment; a lack of credible, status quo institutions; a desire to build something new and unique, and an influential, highly engaged catalyst [or pair of them] with an already-large online social network posed to make a difference.
For more on the rising flash causes phenomenon, see this video clip (below) of Clay Shirky addressing the recent Pop!Tech 2008 conference in Maine. Social media, Shirky says, are encouraging people to "design [new groups] for generosity" and are—in the process—"reversing everything we're used to" about traditional philanthropy.
Still not convinced? Consider HubSpot's recent State of the Twittersphere Report, which estimates there are some 5 million people in the Twitter community and that it is growing by some 10,000 new accounts per day. Key to more growth will be the types of conversations the community will have; many social media watchers [myself included] believe Twitter use will become more cause-focused as it integrates a search function—and as mobile, cause-action groups wrack up more successes using Twitter as a "citizen watch" or flash-cause organizer locally and abroad.
For more on David Armano's campaign for Daniella, go to Armano's blog, here, and his Twitter page, here.

"Dead, shmed," Lenovo seems to be saying when it comes to all the "PC is dead" talk. Don't believe us? Just check out how they've been doing in that department lately.
During the first quarter of this year, which concluded in March, Lenovo states that it sold 55 million PCs, and upped their share of the worldwide PC market to 17.7 percent. That's an increase of 2.1 percent, the firm says.
It also reportedly broke records for annual revenue, pegging that number at $38.7 billion, which is a 14 percent increase year-over-year.
It's worth noting that this growth for Lenovo, even in the generally iffy PC market, is just a continuation of an overall trend for the company. Back in January, we reported that Lenovo shipped 14,005,093 PCs during the fourth quarter of 2012. During the same time-frame in 2013, that number rose to 14,932,408, a spike of 6.6 percent.
Though the supposed death of the PC was announced long ago, these consistent growth numbers enjoyed by Lenovo suggest that there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Here's what Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa had to say:
"Although PC shipments continued to decline in the worldwide market in the fourth quarter, we increasingly believe markets, such as the U.S., have bottomed out as the adjustment to the installed base slows."
It'll be interesting to see whether Lenovo can keep generating these impressive growth numbers.
What do you think? Sound off in the comments below.

Anoer commonly used dmenson for measurng a marke s lqudy s e ransacon coss, measured by e spread. Even oug, we could no consder s dmenson snce e cange of sysem causes a seres of problems n e calculaon of e spread, makng a drec and relable comparson of e wo conracng sysems praccally mpossble.

Te lack of relable models for esablsng e normal beavor of e varables under sudy ere (and especally for nfrequenly raded socks ndcaes e need for an adequae descrpve meodology, suppored by paramerc and nonparamerc ess.
