I want to send this message to Wrestler Bully Ray and host of Busted Open Radio because he mention of doing a class to teach wrestlers of going Pro Wrestling entertainment route. There is more then just taken Bumps and Promos so I hope he like my summary and chapters of my thoughts and opinions of this.
Here is my Chapters and Summary Below of what young wrestlers should learn when there want to start a pro wrestling career below:
Wrestling- Moves, Hold, Bumps, Falls and Controlling the Ring.
Promos- Selling myself and my character for the Audience and TV.
Camera Angles- Me and the Wrestlers will work on a angle that looks good on Camera for TV.
Mental Health and Psychology- Keeping yourself control and respectful towards others without cracking. Maintaining to control the audience through your character and there reactions.
Behind the Scenes- Learning the importance of what the Crew goes Though on a Wrestling show. Wrestler will learn: Sound, Producing, Director, Tech, Cameras, Lighting, Setting Chairs and Cleaning for event area, Building the wrestling Ring, Selling Tickets for events and Safety/Security for both Audience and Wrestlers
Merchandise- Selling the product of your wrestling company and your brand of the wrestling characters you are. Like T-Shirts, Autographs, Pictures and more on wrestling shows, Events, Meet and Greets or Online.
Hosting- Talking to audience to make them feel welcome when there come to your shows and also interviewing wrestlers and personalities to showcase even interact with them.
Ring Announcing- The importance of introducing the wrestlers to the audiences for live shows or for TV. Let them know there name and where there from and most of all what the match is about. For example is it a 5 minute time limit, Cage match, Title Match or so on.
Wrestling Commentary- The importance of Wrestling Commentary as there will tell your story of Who you are, Why this Match is happening, Wrestling moves that are being done on this match. A Wrestling Commentary could either make you or break you but at the end the job is to put you and the match over through their Narrations.
Booking- Setting up matches of what wrestler or the story line, of the wrestler is popular and is getting over with the crowd that could bring in the money. Knowing the town or city of the area you putting the show that could effect the change of booking if you know what wrestler could make the most money in that area. But most of all which wrestler could carry each other over of matches and story.
Contracts- Knowing your worth BUT keep it respectful with the company. Understanding the company is hiring you to make money for them and helping them to build there company through you. For Example: You make a lot of money with one company but if you been let go or move on. Then go somewhere else you might make less do to the new company you going to might not have the same budget as your old company. (Get yourself a entertainment manager or lawyer) Or at less you know how to negotiate yourself.Link for Bully Ray podcast Busted Open Radio: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/busted-open/id1463861548
