The Coach began his wrestling career as a backstage interviewer. However, his ability to connect with the audience became too valuable for just backstage use. Coachman was capable of drawing the fans into a storyline and engaging them, with just a simple backstage segment. Once he moved into the commentary position, his talent was showcased at a level, unlike anything he'd been able to display before.
Once he was behind the announcer’s table, Coachman turned his game up to a whole new level. He was almost immediately perceived as a heel by fans, which is what the company ran with. The Coach was fantastic not only as a commentator but also with various in-ring and storyline angles.
These days, Coach has taken his skills to the worldwide leader in sports, ESPN. He has had a successful run thus far with ESPN and had been highly influential in reconnecting ESPN with WWE.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
