Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I wanna talk about my experience setting up for the “Raw show for 6/31/2024”. Yeah, I know, June 31st isn’t a real date, but that’s what it says on the memo, and I just roll with it. So here’s how the whole thing went down, from start to finish.
First things first, I received this email talking about a “Raw” show. Now, I’ve heard of WWE, watched it a few times back in the day, but I ain’t no expert. Still, a job’s a job, right? The email mentioned something about Netflix and WWE teaming up, which sounded kinda big. I also saw some stuff online about how the show’s gonna be “family-friendly,” so no crazy stuff, apparently.
My job was to help set up the tech side of things. We’re talking cameras, lights, sound, the whole shebang. I started by checking out the venue. It was some big arena, pretty standard for these kinds of events. I made sure all the power outlets were working, ’cause you don’t want the lights going out mid-show, do you?
Next, I helped the camera crew set up their gear. They had these massive cameras, all high-tech and whatnot. I made sure they had clear lines of sight to the ring and that all the cables were neatly tucked away. Nobody wants to see a wrestler trip over a wire, right?
- Checked power outlets
- Helped camera crew
- Set up lighting rig
- Tested sound system
After that, I moved on to the lighting. This was a bit tricky, ’cause you gotta make sure the lighting is just right. Not too bright, not too dark, and it has to highlight the action in the ring. I spent a good chunk of time adjusting the lights, making sure they were all synced up and ready to go.
Then came the sound. Oh boy, the sound. You got your entrance music, your commentary, your crowd noise – it’s a lot to manage. I tested all the mics, made sure the speakers were working properly, and did a few sound checks with some of the crew. It all sounded pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Setting Up the Show
Once everything was set up, we did a few dry runs. This is where we basically rehearse the whole show without the wrestlers. It’s important to make sure everything is working smoothly and that there are no technical glitches. We ran through the entrances, the lighting cues, the sound effects – the whole nine yards. It’s kinda like a dress rehearsal, but without the costumes.
Finally, after all the setup and rehearsals, it was showtime. I watched from backstage, making sure everything ran according to plan. There were a few minor hiccups, but nothing major. Overall, it was a pretty successful show. At least, that’s what the bosses said.
So, that’s my story about setting up for the “Raw show for 6/31/2024.” It was a lot of work, but it was also kinda cool to be a part of something like that. I may not be a wrestling fanatic, but I can appreciate the effort that goes into putting on a show like that. And hey, at least I got a good story out of it, right?
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for today. Hope you enjoyed my little behind-the-scenes look at the world of professional wrestling. Until next time, folks!
