Blehschmidt Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 So, I've been doing ring announcing here and there for local shows in my area for a couple years now, and recently got asked to do Play by Play commentary for a fed in the Pittsburgh area that is starting to gain a little bit of steam. My only previous commentary experience was for another local fed that never saw the light of day, and I worked heel color, so PBP was something totally new to me. I am going to post a link to one of our YouTube shows in hopes of getting some feedback from you guys, because in my time here I have learned tons from this board and really grown to respect the opinions of a lot of the people who post here. I know I have plenty of room for improvement, and I know the only way I will get better is by getting suggestions and constructive criticism from people who know what they are talking about. I figure with all of the years of wrestling watching and all of the different kinds of wrestling watched, what better place than here. So that you know which of the commentators is me, mine will be the first voice you hear after the intro to the show finishes. I go by Bob Anderson. This was only the second show I had done commentary on, so please don't savage me!! Also, I have no control over the booking or anything else involving the product, so while I am definitely also interested in hearing your thoughts on it as well, please know there is nothing I can do to change it! http://youtu.be/u6Nip7-Ez5Y Thanks! Edit: If someone could tell me the code for embedding the video, I will just stick it in this post. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I promise this will be the only time I "bump" this thread. If I don't get any response this time, I will let it go. However, if anyone has the time to watch this and give me some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, Sabu is in the main event, so you can see how he is looking these days. Thanks.

TRMD Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I watched the Main and you were perfectly fine. Certainly room for improvement, but like I said, you were fine. The G Raver/Sabu match was just meh. I've never seen a wrestler have to blatantly put himself in certain positions for spots. Sabu is the king of just rolling himself onto a table for no apparent reason. I actually watched the first 5 minutes as well. Good intro and I like the presentation of the arena. Entrance ramp looks nice, especially with big screen playing as the mini titantron. The dude with the face paint who cut the Raven/Wyatt type promo was actually pretty decent. Was that G Raver?

Blehschmidt Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Appreciate the response! The guy cutting the promo during the first match was Chance Prophet. He's been around for several years and has been the NWA National Champion and also competed for the NWA Heavyweight Championship on a few occasions.
