that's a real challenge and i've talked about it before is that it's live narration and it's i always think of it as like imagine you're doing a scripted tv show any scripted tv show and it's like we'll give you the gist but we're not going to show you the script but there is a script but you're not going to see it it's like hold on a sec i have lines like oh yeah but you're going to have to learn that as the years go on and understand what fits where so it's really really challenging and that's just professional wrestling as a whole you need to know where to put certain stories so what does your day look like let's say raw for example so you show up on monday what did your day look like leading up to being live on tv um start off with the production meeting and just kind of get the general idea for the show and those things can change and fluctuate through the day so you just you can't really get tethered to too many concrete ideas it's a thing that i learned you know as i began my career my notes pages were gigantic and then they slowly slowly shrunk because you just had to know things off the top of your head and you had to be able to adapt you had to understand that this segment could change entirely the talent could change the finish could change um the traffic in regards to what we're going to do like what ads are we throwing to what community outreach program are we promoting that month so many different things that if i'm tied to something in my head of like oh this is my lead-in or this is what i'm going to say you're dead in the water you have to be able to adapt give us a few of the words that you were not able to say on air in wwe um i think the the obvious ones are um you know you always refer to the fans as the wwe universe so you don't call them fans um you don't call them the crowd or the audience or something it's to build an idea of community and that's how wwe brands it so even if you heard me calling you know hard to kill for impact i think at the point where a um a prosthetic leg was thrown in the ring in the impact world title match i said a member of the impact zone so i'm still stuck in it and it's still like oh i can say crowd i can say fan um and it's just little things like that um obviously pro wrestling they avoid that because they avoid that so now i can talk about that pretty openly so there's just little things that because of the way they want to position their product they ask us not to say so it's like okay you know you're signing the check that's fine i had heard that it was always first name lasted you had to say john cena roman reigns it was never reigns hit a spear or cena with the f um no no i never experienced that one thing i was taught um by by cole and a number of other tenured announcers was just don't refer to guys strictly by their first name because if it's in any form of combat sports you wouldn't say you know if it's
