Coachman leaves for ESPN

[Rob]

Jonathan Coachman has been hired for an anchor position with ESPN, according to PWInsider.com.

When he wasn't commentating he was really entertaining. It takes a lot to act like a huge pussy and get humiliated constantly. I'm gonna miss him.

ESPN seems like a great new home for him.

[Theo Dious]

I wonder if he'll pull a Sean Mooney and pretend he never worked for Vince...

...or, failing that, if ESPN will randomly play shots of him being chokeslammed by Kane.

[McLegend]

Good for him.

I always thought he was good charater, and a good Play-by-play guy when he wasn't doing his JR impression. That was not his fault/

[Loose Cannon]

wow pretty cool.

[dablackguy]

Those of us here in the tri state area have seen him on MSG, and knew he'd eventually move on to bigger and better things

Good luck to him :)

[Kane Knight]

Now he can be ignorant of ALL sports, not just pro wrestling.

More power to him, but ESPN are fools.

[Mercury Bullet]

I could see him becoming to Mike Adamle of Sportscenter.

"And the L.A. Lakemen are one game away from advancing to the NWDB Finals!"

[Anybody Thrilla]

I saw him hosting some countdown show of most kick ass plays or something once, and he did a good job there. This doesn't surprise me, but I'll miss him. Go get 'em, Coach!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now he can be ignorant of ALL sports, not just pro wrestling.

More power to him, but ESPN are fools.

I don't really know what your beef with Coach is, but in terms of him being ignorant to all sports, let's not forget that he played college basketball.

[McLegend]

He calls basketball games too. He did work for CSTV.

[DarKCentaur]

He does a show on MSG here in New York, it's actually kinda cool to see him talk about the Rangers.

[therocksays]

THE COACH RULES!

[therocksays]

WHEN I GIVE HIM A ROCK BOTTOM!

[Indifferent Clox]

I hope he stops by occasionally.

[Kalyx triaD]

ESPN just dropped a few pegs with this one.

[U-Warrior]

How so? He's a good broadcaster. I've heard his work.

[Mercury Bullet]

So what exactly is he going to be doing? Is he going to do play by play or commentary at sporting events? Sportscenter reporter? Sportscenter anchor? Do we know yet?

[mrslackalack]

I listened to Coach call the mens b-ball A-10 tournament and thought he was solid. He was very knowledgable and funny sometimes.

[Jura]

It's a step up for Coachman considering in WWE if you don't move away from the announcer's table like you're told then you suffer finishers from Undertaker, Batista and Finlay.

[Indifferent Clox]

Now if he doesn't move away from the announce table when the shows over it means he's probably getting a blowjob from her:

I don't really know what your beef with Coach is, but in terms of him being ignorant to all sports, let's not forget that he played college basketball.He's also wrestled professionally. Proximity to an activity doesn't give you knowledge of it. I'm happy for him, and I'm happy for me because I don't ever have to hear or see Coachman involving WWE again.

[Savio]

...or, failing that, if ESPN will randomly play shots of him being chokeslammed by Kane.:lol:

[Theo Dious]

Seriously, I would love that.

Coach: ...and that is why I believe that the *insert team name* will go 11 and 2 and win the Superbowl this year.
Other announcer: Interesting point, Jonathan, but may I point out:
*plays clip of Coach getting Batista-bombed*
Coach: :mad:

[Gertner]

i hope they shows video of him the charleston with the rock as his lead in.

[DaveWadding]

Wow, yet another annoying black douchebag on ESPN. Equal Opportunity 4LYFE!

[The Optimist]

Even Coachman isn't as annoying as Stewart Scott.
