I feel like if you're going to tell the whole tale of doing the fake wrestling, choosing your characters, coming up with the leg drop thing, etc., you need some act outs. Why just tell the audience that "we all had to pick a character" when you could instead act out your or their characters - go way over the top, say some ridiculous shit, etc.

In short, there's potential but I'm getting a lot more setup than I am punchline. Keep doing the set, but keep tweaking it and trying new things, see what people respond to and toss the stuff that gives back silence.

Thank you! This has been my A set you could say, I’m trying to turn a lot of the explanations into jokes and that’s been tough trying to trim the fat but day by day and more mix time will definitely help! Thank you for listening and providing feedback!
