As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I was heading out to
Creative Media Group’s studio to do a shoot interview with Delaware’s Legendary
Cheetah Master, and learn about three camera shoots. Let me tell you it was
quite an experience! Ric Edevane, owner of Creative Media Group really hooked the
Right Coast Pro team up. During this session we introduced Right Coast Pro
Wrestling’s backstage reporter Clarke Kelly, all the way from Canada I might
add, to the RCP fans.
We also had the pleasure, and entertainment I might add, of
introducing Brandon Tull, our color commentator, to the Cheetah Master outside
of the wrestling ring. Why make a note of this you ask? Simple, Cheetah Master
is as unique out of the ring as he is inside.
Cheetah Master, aka Mike Wormer of 1614 Fitness in Bear
Delaware, is about an interesting person as there is on this planet. Some
people have “IT” and Cheetah is one of those guys. For all those that think, or
say, you have to be born with “IT” to have “IT” think again. Cheetah was not
born with “IT” he developed “IT” through his life. Needless to say if you ever
have the luxury of seeing Cheetah Master introduced to someone for the first
time grab the popcorn and just enjoy the show.
Brandon Tull is a well know radio personality who has done
hundreds of on air interviews ranging from local hero’s to Hollywood Stars to
top athletes. As typical for the interviews he has done in the past, and what
is generally expected in this age, he brought with him a sheet with clearly
printed out questions that he was going to ask so the interviewee could take
some time to prepare and not be caught “off guard.” I watched as Brandon handed
this paper to Cheetah, already knowing what was going to happen, and just
smiled. Cheetah looked over the paper for literally one second, not reading a
single question, and just told Brandon he was good and he would just go with
the flow. Brandon, as everyone present could see, was a little irritated and
concerned. The interview was his idea and he wanted it to be perfect and now I
could see in his eyes at the train wreck that he believed was forthcoming.
As we prepared the backdrop, and bantered about, I watched
Brandon seeing him try to figure out Cheetah Master. I could see it in his
eyes. It was the same look Stephanie McMahon had when we were being interviewed
backstage at a WWE event in Baltimore Maryland years ago.
Just like in Baltimore, Cheetah nailed the
interview in one take with no preparation at all. For some people, especially
right brain dominant individuals, this is just how it works. Just give them a
general idea of what you want, and leave it at that. If you provide them with
too many details or tell them exactly what needs to be said then you will be
doing take after take to get it right. Mister Crister, CEO of Right Coast Pro,
is the same way.
When the video is released, be sure to watch Brandon’s eyes
as he tries to figure out the Cheetah Master.
You can see the Cheetah Master live as Right Coast Pro
