Jonathan Coachman

[7.0] "I think it's fair to say that whilst Jonathan Coachman was a poor wrestler, it's obvious that he gave his all in the ring and at least learned the basic fundamental wrestling skills, and was a great "someone has to lose" guy. Decent broadcast/interviewer too"

[6.0] "Jonathan Coachman carved out a unique role in wrestling as a commentator, interviewer, and occasional in-ring personality. He was never meant to be a top-tier talent, but his mix of humor, timing, and willingness to play the heel made him a fun supporting character. Coach added entertainment value to backstage segments and commentary, and while his in-ring work was limited, he knew his role and played it well throughout his WWE run"

[1.0] "He gets 1 point for being hilarious fodder for The Rock. Outside of that, I never found him entertaining in any capacity. Not even in his comedy matches. His return in 2018 was brutally awful. He was never a wrestling guy and always seemed out of place."

[8.0] "Coachman was kinda underrated at commentary & interviewing, no not the best but still decent. When he was a heel, he played the role well, he definitely got the heat from the audience. He can pretty funny at times, especially his interactions with The Rock are hilarious. I do find it bizarre though that he wasn't better in the ring. I say this because he was supposedly trained by one of the greatest, if not the greatest technical wrestler of all time, Chris Benoit."

[4.0] "(thus far I have only seen his first 4 years) Babyface/neutral commentator on Heat? Eight! Heel getting ANY on camera time? ZERO point five. That means 4.25 is the overall. I like when he's in the booth and calling it down the middle, that's all fine. His attempts at being a heel? He ranks as one of the most RANK."

[6.0] "I get A lot of people hate him but I'm not even gonna lie, I like Jonathan Coachman. He could be annoying at times but he got legit heat, and was A hated heel, I also just don't think he was that bad."

[4.0] "Passable commentator. Then they decided that he should wrestle and they wasted 2 spots in 2 consecutive Royal Rumbles on him."

[4.0] "Coach was a terrible commentator and was average as an authority figure as he wasn't Mike Adamle bad, but not at the level of Vince, Bischoff, or Heyman in that role. However, he was a good manager, and if only he was a good commentator he could have been their next Bobby Heenan. 4 seems about right, as managing was the thing he did the least in his run, despite that being his best work."

[0.0] "As a fan who suffered through both his awful commentary and his shockingly omnipresent heel character through the mid 00s, I feel like I have no choice but to give bottom ratings to the Coach. They gave this guy MULTIPLE PPV matches, for reasons which can only be explained by Coach having some kind of blackmail on Vince."

"The Coach was very annoying! and I didn't find him to be a very interesting commentator. He didn't bring much to the product. Better as an interviewer who had good chemistry with The Rock."

[5.0] "I'll be honest, I thought Coachman was kind of funny during his first run. Not exactly an all-time great, but he was entertaining at times."

[3.0] "If I have to rate him as a commentator it would be a 0 but because I thought he was funny with a good personality during his first run I gave him a 3."

[1.0] "I found Coach intolerable during his first run & he's even worse in his return. He lacks any credibility and is abhorrent to listen through. When they tried to make him an on air talent, he was bad in every way."

[0.0] "Jonathan Coachman is a terrible announcer, just completely inept at his job, and deserving of all the criticism he gets. Coachman is also an abject coward, and from what reports suggest, doesn't know that no means no."

[2.0] "Coach honestly sounds like he wants to go home. All he does is fumble some names, show how out of the loop he is and get constantly berated by Corey. The back and forth is not even funny or in good spirit, it's just sad."

[4.0] "This guy definitely knew how to talk on the mic but, that's about all Jonathan Coachman had going for him."

[6.0] "An adequate play-by-play announcer, Coach really started to shine after turning heel and creating a smarmy jock persona. This made him much more interesting both as a heel color commentator and ancillary on-air character, and he showed the makings of a great heel manager, though sadly was never allowed to really run with that role."

[6.0] "I prefer Coach to Cole on any day of the week. When Coach stepped out from behind the announce table and became part of the action, he at least had the athletic background and brash personality to back it up. Not the greatest announcer ever, but managed to be entertaining no matter if it was play by play or color. ESPN found a good show host in him, but it's WWE's loss."
