@@classicprowrestlercoach doing my absolute best to incorporate this type kdstyle as much into my own. For no other reason than, hell, its what i think looks the best
Great topic for a video. One small thing that really gripes me when watching wrestling is that "are you ready?" bounce that guys do before suplexes. Magnum TA would just take guys over in one seamless motion.
Not only that but in the AWA there was a reason guys were stiff. If you weren't ready you were going regardless. No scrips anywhere at the time. That is when wrestling was wrestling.
Hey Tyson! I was literally just looking around UA-cam for compilations of wrestlers speaking during the matches and ran across this tutorial for in-training performers! I loved your match in the Cruiserweight Classic against ZSJ🥰
Thanks for the video Tyson. Newer ref here (less than yr experience). Is there any recommended positions or actions that you would recommend for us referees do to help hide/disguise calls from you workers?
spencer nolan rice brought me here. you are an absolute legend, not a huge wrestling fan but you can count on my view time and comment for the algorithm.
Can we call anywhere we want if we have long hair that covers our mouth? And another question I got is Do we need to call a countdown? You know? Or something like a "ready?" ?
@@classicprowrestlercoach This is so horribly long and im sure i’m forgetting a lot of my questions but, You’re the best Dux, you already answered one of my questions in the video about knowing who is “Taking” and who is “Giving” a move, Jim cornette also explained about momentum and if you’re the one whipping your opponent, obviously the opponent would be building up speed so they’d be hitting a clothesline on you because you’d be stationary, but how do wrestlers who don’t know each other’s movesets set up spots, so if you were facing someone who didn’t know your work (and vice versa) and they wanted to call it out there how could you get them in the right place for your moves if they didn’t know how to take your versions. After you’ve been dropped, and you’re back up, if you haven’t been given the next spot, Do you just sort of float about selling until you’re hit from behind or kicked? With more complex spots how do you coordinate it, some sequences seem really complicated especially in places like japan or mexico where it’s so fast paced and you have wrestlers from america wrestling luchadores, so how do you coordinate those sort of high impact, high speed spots on the fly when you dont speak the langauge, i know universal terms like suplex will work anywhere and that there are universal signals like working the left side, or alternating hands to signal a reversal or injury, stamping on arms to warn of a splash or something, and taps or squeezes for signalling that youre okay with a hold or to reverse but how do you go to japan and work out the next 5 moves when it’s a move you’ve never seen or taken, from someone with a language barrier. In japan so many moves look different and have aren’t at all like the american style so how do you deal with going to the east and taking a move when you don’t know what you’re going to be taking next. Like if i have several moves that require a bit more cooperation than take a back bump or front bump, how do you get that across when the opponent doesnt really know your set You mentioned using the lock up and rest holds to cover your call, and theres the ref to pass on info but what other places or moves can you use to give the next spot, how many moves ahead do you call, Let’s say im in the ring and wanted them to duck my line, go for a german on me but i wanna reverse it by landing on my feet, hit em with a high knee then go for a jumping ddt but they catch me mid air and throw me off and go for a jumping roundhouse themself which i duck then hook their leg to try and put a submission on but they kick me off and i run duck their line, hit the ropes they try to back body drop but i roll over hit the other ropes and eat a superkick, how can you get all of that across without someone getting confused if you’re only calling it in the ring? entrances, shine, heat, comeback, and finish. I’ve seen a lot of wrestlers say that nearly every wrestling match has these in order but the majority of matches ive seen especially nowadays, don’t do this, is it just for independent shows where wrestlers need to establish themself to an audience who might not know them. I’m curious how you string a match together, i don’t like using john cena but his spot calling is loud enough for me to have examples, there’s a few where he just says “kick me”, or “hit my back” or “reverse elbow” what good is having the one movr when it’s not followed up or are these just instances of cutoffs so the heel can get heat from there? Ive heard the most senior or the heel mostly call the match so if im facing a cena and i hit him with said reverse elbow and he stumbles away, how do i know if im supposed to run and give him an axe handle to the back, throw him out, hit him with a back suplex, i think im asking when theres one basic move how do you know whats gonna happen next, If someone doesnt know your moveset how can they call spots for you when they dont know your arsenal? It’d look basic if for every wrestler you do the drop down, hip toss, headlock takeover, waistlock, arm drag, bump and feed, escape spots, how do you cater to everyones movesets and finishers without knowing the persons moves. Heard a story about harley race and curt hennig where harley asked what curt’s finish was and when he heard what it was he just said “i’ll move”, is this like i’ll move and hit you with my own finish, or i’ll move and pin you, People like ricky steamboat and ric flair never had to talk in the ring, how exactly did they just click and know what the other was gling to do or what move and when, when you have 20 minute matches how can you plan it out in the ring, any help would be so appreciated
I don't know jack about the technical side of wrestling (performing moves, etc.), but you'd think saying "give" or "take" before calling a move is just plain common sense.
Tyson, would you agree that learning ventriloquism without the dummy would be a great skill for calling in the ring for the sake of hiding any chit chat?
It would be a solid skill for sure. However with time and practice it’s a skill That can be mastered with no one realizing you’re talking during the action
Couldn't you use code to call. Like "I'll smash your face in" means run off the ropes and "idiot" could means clothes line. so you could have "I will smash your face in idiot". That way people who do hear calls won't matter and you can call from not being right beside them.
Wrestling could make a comeback but s couple things..... It's gotta be slowed down little bit. Some high flying moves need to be squashed or at least forgotten about for a while. Chain Wrestling has to be perfect.. All the lights ....smoke...fireworks.. man use that shit twice a year. As far as production of a show, THATS A WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL RIGHT THERE. But not impossible. More generic and amateur approaches with interviews and promos. But ABSOLUTELY DO THIS STRAIGHT OUT THE GATE... WHATEVER THAT CIRCUS WWE IS DOING EITHER TOMORROW, TONITE, LAST WEEK, OR THIS MORNING.. invent the opposite. Wanna SUCK and be clowned FOLLOW WWE.
Every wrestler needs to learn this "give" vs "take" calling
Been practicing with my wife and your advice has worked flawlessly. I already have a restraint order without even hurting her. Greetings!
😂best comment
🤣🤣
Thank you for making this! This is an area I struggle with and there's not a lot study material like this you can find. Please do a series!
Same!!!
I wanna be a pro wrestler and what you just said was really helpful and I can not wait to learn more from you.
Just found these videos as someone that is looking to start training they are great, thank you
Yes! Give and take is good communication. Calling on the ground is easier but you've got to get to the ground, so this is excellent
Good stuff. More wrestlers need to watch these videos
I can't love your series enough. I love this old school approach
🙏
@@classicprowrestlercoach doing my absolute best to incorporate this type kdstyle as much into my own. For no other reason than, hell, its what i think looks the best
Just started to get into wrestling love videos like this
Happy you enjoy! Keep watching
Great information
Would love to see more videos about calling on the spot, definitely something that I struggle with and would appreciate seeing more, great video man!
I’m going to be doing more on this subject in future videos
Just found this channel and planning to start this summer. Thanks for the heads up tips so I'll be more prepared. 👍
I plan on getting trained by Dory Funk JR at the Funk conservatory.
Same here brother good luck to you

Brother: what do you wanna call
Me: We ain't calling sh!t
Thank you!!
Very useful tips
great video and nice t shirt
This is what I was looking for
Hey Tyson! I was literally just looking around UA-cam for compilations of wrestlers speaking during the matches and ran across this tutorial for in-training performers! I loved your match in the Cruiserweight Classic against ZSJ🥰
I appreciate you Captain thank you
Yes I love wrestling when I have no idea what's going to happen next these days u can tell and visibly notice these things
Thanks for the video Tyson. Newer ref here (less than yr experience). Is there any recommended positions or actions that you would recommend for us referees do to help hide/disguise calls from you workers?

Thank you Larry!
Waiting for a rematch with the Nice Guy. He's a sucker.
I love that Sugar hold shirt , Where can i get one ?
Email me @tmoodynij@gmail.com and we can get you one
remember when i was in middle school people would be mad at us in crowd cus we would call whay was coming next we learned their taps on arms haha
Can we call anywhere we want if we have long hair that covers our mouth?
And another question I got is
Do we need to call a countdown? You know? Or something like a "ready?" ?
No that is for beginners but I frown on the countdown. It goes my feel and movement.
Anyone in the mood to answer A Lot of my spot calling questions? Great video btw, good tips and logic
Fire away. Send me questions

You really set a ring up in an IKEA lmao

I legit knew all of this bc I've seen John cena's whole career 💀💀
Couldn't you use code to call. Like "I'll smash your face in" means run off the ropes and "idiot" could means clothes line. so you could have "I will smash your face in idiot". That way people who do hear calls won't matter and you can call from not being right beside them.
I wanna wrestle so bad !!!!
Me too like extremely bad
