I'd say that if you're working with someone else, know both of your roles going in. Generally an announcer calls the action in the ring move by move while the commentator goes into story, what the guys in the ring are going through, etc. That's why most announcers are guys who have a history broadcasting and commentators tend to be former wrestlers. Same goes for any sport. The play-by-play guy is a broadcaster, the commentator is an ex-player. Both serve a different purpose that requires different skills.
