Live Streaming the Inaugural CLAW Draft

The Champions League of American Wrestling (CLAW) recently held its inaugural draft at Harrah’s Atlantic City, and Gemstone Media shared all the energy and emotion in our live broadcast of the event.

For this production streamed on FloWrestling, YouTube, and X, Gemstone videographers and an engineer captured the live video in Atlantic City, and transmitted it to our headquarters in Jacksonville, where the director orchestrated the camera switching, graphics, pre-recorded elements, and audio mix with an on-site crew.

 

“Gemstone was up for the challenge to cover CLAW’s inaugural draft. With it being a remote broadcast, there had to be constant communication between Atlantic City and Jacksonville. With our crew arriving a day early on site, this helped prepare us for the following night,” recalled Tristan Morhous, Director & Production Supervisor.

“Working with the in-house crew in correlation with the CLAW reps, we were able to accomplish a great broadcast, loaded with visuals and information for the spectators.”

CLAW promises “high-level wrestling but with more action and excitement.”  The first CLAW season begins in October.
