Being a ring announcer isn't really a dangerous job. If it was, then diminutive people like Howard Finkel and Lilian Garcia would be dead by now. Sure, you have to stand in a ring with every wrestler on the card, but you just call out names and stand back. So why is this riskier than interviewing them up close? Precedent. This writer can't think of one incident where an interviewer was physically abused (John Stossel doesn't count because he's not part of the show). Meanwhile, you can ask Justin Roberts how he met Daniel Bryan, or Garcia about that time she ran into Three Minute Warning or Charlie Haas. Yikes. Underwriter's assessment: Proximity to threats is mitigated by presence of others, however, violent unionisation tactics within company walls have already led to a major cash settlement in the past. Not covered in the event of force majeure, rookie invasion, outsider takeover, and/or crowd uprising.
