By 2001, Prazak began to shift his focus on being a wrestling commentator, first with IWA-MS but by 2005 he had begun providing commentary for both Ring of Honor and its sister promotion Full Impact Pro.[3] It was also in 2005 that Prazak, alongside Allison Danger, created Shimmer Women Athletes, which would remain in operation until 2021.[3]
In 2020 Prazak became the primary commentator for Game Changer Wrestling events.[4]
In 2021, Prazak was signed to Major League Wrestling to run and organise their women's division.[5]
