Heya Dave . . . I'm going to bring some understanding to your confusion . . . While the answer to your question seems like it would be simple, the answer is dependent on circumstances and judgment . . . If the match is televised when the action occurs, then the commentators take over. Speaking over the play-by-play guys should never happen . . . But whether the match is televised or not, the action between wrestlers always is more important than what a ring announcer has to say. Fans will get quiet to listen to what the ring announcer says which interferes with the reaction that the wrestlers are working hard to elicit . . . So, I'd never interrupt the flow of the action which would undermine the reaction that the wrestlers are trying to achieve . . . Make sense? . . . There's more to ring announcing than just talking . . . Comes with experience and understanding your role . . . Thanks for following my page! . . . gmc

Thank you for your kind comments . . . Like everything else, styles of ring announcing evolve . . . It's a personal taste . . . Thanks again! . . . gmc
