*Studying*
Curious about who/what everyone here goes to when it comes to studying for pro wrestling? Are you studying the aspects of the profession itself? Or other arts outside to introduce into the wrestling scene?

I find the YouTube channel till we make it really helpful. Mike Quackenbush also wrote 2 books that are great. Toolbox: Building Better Pro-Wrestling 7 Keys to Becoming a Better Performer: A Book for Fellow Pro-Wrestlers Also, ROH did some really good shoot interviews with Raven that were really helpful to help understand character work and basics of ring psychology. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgl67Uv-68ZApqGizVSz79qSGQgvDKJwp&si=anwfJsiWvjYkwhmt For me trying to break into commentary I'm finding out knowing the structure and physcology of the matches helps a ton. Hope these help you get started

I have a few goals this month 1. Keep my podcast rolling with an interview everyweek. 2. Keep my Youtube series rolling where I am training to get in the ring for one match. 3. Train daily in the ring and outside the ring 4. Make more connections outside my promotion ( Not sure how that is going to happen yet.) 5. Find a way to start monetizing without youtube ads possibly my own skool community.. I am able to work on this 4 hours a day it gets broken down by the hour daily so I should be able to hit most of these by July 1st.
Breaking in Update
Hey, I just wanted to post in here an update on how my quest to break into the wrestling business has been going so far. About 3 months ago I decided I was going to finally try and pursue my dream of working in the wrestling business. I do not see myself stepping in the ring fulltime because of health issue I have psoratiac arthritis and my joints wont cooperate fully... So I decided I would try and be an interviewer and backstage guy for a local promotion. I shot out a DM to a connection I had through charity work and I was allowed to do a few interviews. I went to the show with a fake mic because my microphones didn't arrive in time and I got some interviews... Were they the best nope but, I showed up and I guess the promotor liked what I was doing because he requested to meet me. We discussed what he wanted and what I wanted and I was given another shot. I got a few wrestlers on my podcast and I went from their. I pitched a storyline where I was attacked in my podcast studio by a local heel tag team called Carnage Coalition and this turned into a storyline over this summer where I am making a youtube series on How I go from backstage guy to getting in the ring for one night only in September ( This in ring match is dependent on how well my videos do over the summer.) I have been also been given the opportunity to edit old match footage and to start posting on Youtube for the company. ( I had no prior experience multicam editing but, I struggled through until I learned the basics) The next show last month I was actually introduced as the backstage guy and I was given the opportunity to interview on my podcast the tag team champions midnight Vice the Heavy Weight Champion Andy Anderson and Van Brugen the main guy they are pushing right now The really cool thing this company Primetime Wrestling is growing and we have a huge show here at our local arena in October the Bollywood Boys and Short Sleeve Sampson are coming more names to come. I am not posting this to brag I want anyone out there to know that you can break in you just need to do whatever it takes.

Sometimes fortune favors the bold
Hey I just wanted to post an update on my personal journey so far breaking into the wrestling business with my main goal being the commentary and backstage interview aspect. I have always had the dream of being a wrestling commentator. Getting paid to watch wrestling and talk about it I mean who wouldn't want that. Recently i decided to take my shot and started a YouTube channel talking about the local promotions upcoming shows. I learned as much as I could about the feuds the matches and wrestles on the upcoming card. It got noticed and Wrestlers were told by the promoter to reach out to me and get on my show. I made YouTube channel call backstage Pass with Danny deathwish and reached out to the promoter (I have a previous relationship with through work) The promoter also asked me to come to try outs watch and they might have an opportunity for me. He gave me permission to catch some interviews from the Wrestlers at the show. I was not ready I was actually thinking how stupid I was since these inside thoughts of being a commentary and interviewer were now going live. I wasn't ready.. my mic didn't show up in time I had notes and not much direction besides let's see what you got. We went and I had my podcast mic (it was connected to nothing just for show) My wife as the camera woman and my kids in tow. It actually turned out great. I got 5 interviews backstage and at the merch table. I got invited back and one of the promoters long time Canadian wrestler gave me the green light to talk to the roster and do a pre show on May... Crazy... Fortune favors the brave. Thought I'd share this for someone like me that thinks there to old not talented enough or can't break in... My opportunity lined up for me but, if I had to break it down it would be 3 things I learned my very first night. #1 Be respectful and grateful Nobody knew who I was so I was grateful to get any interviews. The first were just asking at the merch table politely and on their time.

Yeah it was the first interview. I got a clip on diji mic that clips into a handheld so that work way better. The promotion said they might bring on as a Mean Gene type character. Pre show and backstage interviews I'm also going pitch the idea of commentary voice overs after the fact they don't have anyone yet. I'm still getting used to balancing being nervous assertive and not getting in the way of the show. It will come along as I go
Commentary Practice
So I had to share my screen for this commentary practice, Now I had rewind the parts that I messed up on plenty of times. I probably need to get some experience

I agree with Josh. A commentators job is to tell the story of the match. You got this try and think about the next wrestling match you watch. What's the story? The best way I was told was Bret Hart vs Yokuzuna can Bret put Yokozuna in a sharpshooter? It was simple but, it drew me in. Keep going you will find your voice.
