Global Wrestling Alliance (1988–1993) Penzer debuted as a ring announcer in 1988, appearing with the Global Wrestling Alliance in the
South Florida metropolitan area.
World Championship Wrestling (1993–2001) Penzer first became involved with World Championship Wrestling around mid-to-late 1993 or early 1994 while acting as a booking agent for
Floridan
jobbers who appeared at WCW events. He was eventually hired by
Tony Schiavone in 1995 and was mentored by
Gary Cappetta. When Cappetta was released from WCW in 1995, Penzer was appointed main ring announcer by WCW President
Eric Bischoff. His announcing attire was notable in that, rather than the traditional black, Penzer often wore a vibrantly colorful
cummerbund with his
tuxedo. Penzer's place at wrestling events was usually restricted to announcing; however, in late 1997,
Chris Jericho found himself on a losing streak and would repeatedly attack Penzer for announcing the winner's name, often taking Penzer's steel chair and repeatedly bash it against the ring post. Jericho would then give
humorous apologies and even gave Penzer a new suit jacket as a gift, yet he would once again throw a tantrum soon after. Penzer remained with WCW until the promotion was purchased by the
World Wrestling Federation in March 2001. In the course of his WCW career, he attended every single taping of
WCW Monday Nitro as well as
Thunder.
Post-WCW (2001–2005) Following the sale of WCW, Penzer worked with the
Xcitement Wrestling Federation until it closed. He then began working on the
independent circuit as a booking agent, in addition to acting as the manager of
Rowdy Roddy Piper's book tour and appearing with the short-lived
World Wrestling All-Stars promotion. In 2001, he was the ring announcer for the main event of a
NWA Florida show where
Steve Corino defeated
Mike Rapada to become the new
NWA World Heavyweight Champion. In 2004, he became Vice President of an
airbrush tattoo company.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2006–2010) In 2006, Penzer joined
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as a ring announcer, making his debut on the pre-show of
Against All Odds pay-per-view on February 12, 2006, replacing
Jeremy Borash, who became a backstage interviewer in the process. On the October 16, 2008 edition of
TNA Impact!,
Kurt Angle beat up Penzer and then put the
Ankle lock on him. Penzer was legitimately injured as his face became swollen. Jeremy Borash took over ring announcing duties for the rest of the night. On May 16, 2010, Penzer was released from TNA as a cost cutting measure, with Borash returning to his previous position. Penzer's final show during this tenure was the May 13, 2010 edition of
Impact!.
Returns to Impact Wrestling (2017, 2020–2023) . Penzer returned to Impact Wrestling as a ring announcer at the April 21
Impact Wrestling television tapings, replacing
Rockstar Spud. He was the ring announcer for much of 2017 up until
Bound for Glory in November. In December 2017, Penzer announced on his
Sitting Ringside podcast that he would not return to Impact Wrestling in the near future due to their ongoing budget cuts. Penzer was supposed to be the ring announcer for the
TNA: There's No Place Like Home pay-per-view before it was called off due to the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic. However, Penzer later got signed full-time, making his second return to the company, starting in March 2020 at the
Impact! tapings in
Coca-Cola Roxy in
Atlanta, Georgia, where he also did commentary work with
Scott D'Amore for the
TNA on AXS TV special, which was a preview broadcast for the aforementioned pay-per-piew. In addition to becoming the ring announcer once again for
Impact Wrestling, Penzer also became the host of the weekly interview segment
Around the Ring on
Impact! Xplosion beginning with the May 23 edition. Penzer's ring announcing for
Impact is mostly done with him outside the ring except for some championship matches where he introduces in-ring the participants after their entrances. During several months in 2021,
Moose used this method to his advantage after he declared himself
TNA World Champion at
Rebellion and would instruct Penzer to introduce several of his matches in-ring as championship matches to validate his reign. On December 10, 2023, Penzer confirmed his departure from Impact Wrestling during
Final Resolution, before the company rebranded back to TNA. He was replaced by
Jennifer Chung. ==Post-wrestling career==
