| Available for preorder: On Officiating: The Professional Wrestling Referee's Rulebook |
On Officiating covers an in-depth look at the rules and regulations, general refereeing mechanics and nuances, aesthetics and body language, communicating and working within a multi-camera setup, backstage etiquette, business culture, plus learning how to network in proper avenues to take your professional wrestling career to the next level.
Before becoming one of the world's most experienced ultraviolent officials, Kris Levin climbed from the ECW Arena to globally broadcast pay-per-view and television main events, sharing the ring with the industry’s biggest stars, from Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio to AJ Styles, Jon Moxley, and The Great Muta, for promotions such as Game Changer Wrestling, CHIKARA, Ring of Honor, Major League Wrestling, and Impact Wrestling.
Now, everything Kris wished he had known when starting is distilled in your hands. Based on his own experience in the ring, promoting New York City's first all-women's wrestling company and later Camp Leapfrog, as well as hosting The Art of Television Production seminars for audiences in three countries, this text also factors in the needs of prospective promoters and wrestling colleagues.
Available August 25th on Amazon for $9.99 (eBook), $14.99 (paperback). Digital samples are now available for reviewers. If interested, please contact Curator.TalesFromTheMat@gmail.com.
