Let’s talk a little bit about helping out with the ring. If you’re looking to keep getting booked on a wrestling show or maybe a show you haven’t worked before, the best thing you can do is ask what time to arrive to help setup the ring. If you can show that you’re willing to get there early, help with setup and teardown at the end of the night. That’s going to give you huge points towards future bookings with that promotion.
You can also ask if there is anything else you can help with:
- Audiovisual (AV)
- Lighting
- Music
- Photos
- Social Media
- Setting up chairs
- Security
- Ticket sales
- Merchandise table
- Concession stand
- Organize locker room
- Emptying trash cans
- Vacuum the canvas
Some promotions are stretched thin and you have people behind the scenes wearing multiple hats. Trying to do multiple things in one night, getting everybody’s music together, getting matches set up, and other last minute changes. There’s all of these little anxiety type things that are going on and by you simply just asking “Is there anything I can do to help?”, really goes a long way. You’re definitely going to get looked at first, when it’s time to book the next show.
