Nah
👍
Mick Foley was far beyond selfish
@@ShmokeyMac710 what’s beyond selfishness? What’s the word?
Chris, the rock does that every time 😂
Coach standing by his principles is rare for people who worked in pro wrestling.
as the kids would say, he
stood on bidness
Yeah but let's be honest he wasn't ever really a wrestler even he admits it wasn't his life
Rare for the vast majority of people on this planet
But...mick Foley wasn't selfish
coach standing on business like a g
Rock's segments with backstage announcers made Coach, Kevin Kelly and Lillian Garcia almost as famous as the WWE Superstars.
Too bad it didn’t work out so well for Billy Gunn’s singles career or the Outsiders 😂
True. Kevin Nash set himself up by saying he would make The Rock his bitch back in WCW. That receipt was always coming.@@ScarFace5566
@@ScarFace5566 YOU SOUND LIKE A DUMBASS "FAMOUS" DOESNT MEAN A THING ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO YOUR WORK DUMBASS
That's not really Rocks fault Billy Gunns career didn't workout after winning King of the ring. Hell even Viscera won King of the ring, and his career never went anywhere either. Billy Gunn was on the injured list more than once after winning it, and the first time he came back he couldn't get back to what he was doing teaming up with China and HHH, so instead he went back to tagging with road dogg. 2nd time he was injured HHH and the rest of DX kicked him out for nearly a year.
@@ScarFace5566he wasnt a backstage announcer
Those segments between Coach and the Rock, where you can obviously see Coach is trying not to laugh, are golden!! 😂
copacobanaaaaa! 😂😂😂
@@SirCharles824COPA YO ASSSS OUTTA HERE😂
Do the Charleston!
Coach hasn't aged in 20 years. His facial hair has a little grey but besides that he still looks like 2000s coach.
His face is all wrinkled. You watching in 240p?
You must be watching on a potato phone because he looks very aged compared to early 2000s Coach. Michael Cole looks worse though.
no it's not stop hating - black doesn't crack@@RustieFawn
stop exaggerating - Coach is aging gracefully with no wrinkles@@The_Hulkster
@@The_Hulksterwhen u listen to Vince roaring in your ear all the time
that would age you shit 😅
He was so important in attitude era And ruthless aggression
No he wasn’t
He came to wwe in late 99
No
@@illkid86 he sucked too
I'd say coach was actually semi important More so in the ruthless aggression era than attitude era in ruthless era he became an on screen character attitude era he was just a backstage guy
ROCK: Who is your favorite wrestler of all time?!
EUGENE: TRIPLE H!!!
COACH: 🤣
Eugene was smart!
Coach was 100% right about everything he said. The wrestlers had to be selfish. But to be honest that is what made me hate HHH for so many years. He also had to be in the top spot
Same with Hogan.
So then... he isn't right. People only think it needs to be that way because it's what they're taught. Less selfish people in wrestling would've made more people happy. From the fans to the wrestlers. It was about fame and money. That's why they teach that stuff.
HHH's push came out of nowhere, and it never ended. The Rock put over Y2J,Angle and a few others during his peak run. HHH never put anyone over until WM 21 with Batista.
@@cropsykreugerhe put over Goldberg.
You have no idea what you're talking about, @@cropsykreuger.
Outta all megastars it was actually Rocky who was the least selfish. All the guys’ stuff he sold unselfishly and guys he put over clean.
This is true but I would add that up until 2001 the Rock was about himself, as he should be. Especially 2000 where he was the face the thing with the Rock is we forget how short his full time run was. By 2001 he had 1 foot out the door and did loads of clean jobs for the next 3 years.
Triple H put over a lot of people back then too. He had to still look dominant so he was pretty selfish too.
Undertaker for me. He even put over maven when he didn’t even need to
The rock did alot of Jobs in 2000 as well, lost to Benoit, HHH, Kane, angle. Austin barely lost to anyone.
Undertaker was most selfish wrestler in 2000/ 2002
The Coach, Kevin Kelly, Lilian Garcia and Michael Cole, all 4 of these guys/gals should be in the WWE's Hall of Fame, most definitely...
I remember somebody holding a sign “Coach is a popcorn fart” on Raw. As a kid that had me rolling😂
Lol
There’s always some weird sign that sticks with you throughout your whole life.
For me, when I was a kid and in the mid 90s, when Doink was still kinda popular in WWF, I was watching some show. Can’t remember if it was a PPV or Raw. But some kid had a sign, and it was just some torn piece of cardboard lol it wasn’t even rectangular bc half of it ripped. And in sharpie, it read “Doink the best clown I know”. And me and my brother found their hilarious for some reason. We were like “bitch he’s the ONLY clown you know”.
I remember during the austin vs rock rivalry at wm17, there was a sign in the crowd that said triple aids lol
Love the Coach. I feel he brought almost as much to those hilarious backstage promos back in the day as guys like the Rock did. Pure talent....he deserves his success.
These Coach interviews have made me respect him 100% more. He seems like a great dude. It's crazy how wwe at that point made a habit out of hiding people's best qualities rather than highlighting them.
Of course he's making himself look good.
@@petergianakopoulos4926no, I genuinely think coach has come to terms with a lot and at this point in his life has nothing to hide at all.
I’m glad someone with some clout finally said it. I’ve been telling people this…Attitude era was the best because 10-15 guys could be “the guy”. It was like having 15 LeBron James
Coach's perspective was right on the money here and why I believe he's able to hold on tight to his principles compared to others. I remember Coach being on Larry Kong before he transitioned to WWF. He never aspired to be a wrestler or in that domain. It just happened. However, everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.
Great interview!
😅S8d
His interviews with the rock were always hilarious.
Coachmen was def an underrated gem. Sounds so happy now
The guy had a 10 year stint on ESPN. He does work for the PGA. He does work for EA Sports on Madden games. He doesn’t need rasslin’. And that’s power and independence.
The Rock is the most giving main event guy ever! If u really go back & watch his matches he put over so many people. He lost all the time. He lost to main eventers like Undertaker, Stone Cold, Triple H, & Mankind & he put over guys like RVD, Test, Rhyno, & the Hurricane & others to help elevate them & he never lost his credibility as a top guy.
Yeah I don’t see the selfish point when he mentioned the rock
Exactly 💯. In fact if anything he was the most selfless
3:48-4:18 listening to that, I 100% agree with Vince. I'd be pissed too if some MF blabbed to a dirt sheet about a surprise return but with social media today, it is next to impossible for a return to be kept a secret
I love the Coach and Rock together, comedy gold. Thanks Coach!
He would only come back if he had a segment with Rock. That would be epic tho
Most of my favorite Rock Promos had Jonathan Coachman involved I’ll never forget the Rall promo where are the rock accused coachman of shelving microphones of cows rectums and the Promo involved Eugene on Raw loved it.
Coach is right about one thing, during the attitude / ruthless aggression era wrestling was full of surprises and you almost never knew what was coming, these days they can't introduce a new wrestler or even a legend wrestler without everyone knowing about it and it kills the whole vibe.
Not knowing made you want to watch. On Monday, Austin comes out on a zamboni, then on Tuesday you were talking about it and then you're waiting till next Monday to see if anything crazy happens.
I don’t call the rock selfish just because he put over ppl in his prime when he didn’t have to .
Right . Undertaker too
He was selfless in the ring, selfish on the microphone. He would never allow himself to look like a fool during a promo as a babyface... and in fact, he'd bully and act like a heel while he was a face. Doesn't matter how many times Rock lost. He always made sure he got the last word. That's why he got more over than anyone else. It was at their expense.
@PhenomResurrections08 rock being Bully on the mic was part of his character. He'd often call stone cold to turn his "trailer park trash foot sideways and shove it down his candy ass"
@@crashpal thank you for explaining something I watched countless times in the 90s and 2000s. Of course it was part of his character... but it doesn't change the fact that he got himself over at the expense of others. As a heel or face.
@PhenomResurrections08 best one was "who in the blue hell are you" on Booker T but that was more Vince trying to bury wCw talent at that time and less the Rock
"You like Barry Manilow?... You like You like the copa?... You like the copa ka kaakaa?... Well Copa your ass outta here jabaroni, beat it!"
Lol
The Rock's and The Coach segments were entertaining af.
This was a really good interview.. I always thought Coach was entertaining but is now inspiring! What he said about making sacrifices and hard work really resonated with me, especially when he said how he doesn't have any coulda shoulda's in life, that really hit the nail on the head.
Coach is one of my all-time favorite guys. I would be blessed to meet him.
Coach comes across as a really nice guy. Very down to earth and genuine.
Eric Bischoff has preached this for years: you must have a live feel and an anything-can-happen atmosphere from surprises.
This clip is a masterpiece. So much information here can help people in so many ways.
Tony Khan should watch this. He gives no surprises, he just announce everything a week before LOL!!!!
Eric Bischoff has preached this for years: you must have a live feel and an anything-can-happen atmosphere from surprises.
96-03 was the attitude era for me
WOW!!! THESE STORIES ARE CLASSIC. THE COACH NEEDS TO DO MORE INTERVIEWS
I believe coach when he said shawn Michaels was selfish. Yes makes sense after all he did in the 90s
I always liked coach, you could tell that he was intelligent. It was also cool when he got his heel turn
Jonathan: I will never go back to WWE!
Coach to WWE confirmed
The way coach ages and the way ric flair ages are night and day lmao
The element of surprise is hard in this era of wrestling. There have been very few times where wrestling companies were able to keep it as close to the vest as possible, such as the Rock making a spontaneous return recently or Edge returning at the Royal Rumble in 2020. With the rumors that go around these last couple of years, it's more like, "They might show up or they may not," because companies and the wrestlers themselves try to deny it or be as vague as much as they can so they don't ruin the surprise like Cody Rhodes returning to the WWE. Some way or form, someone gets information and gives them to the dirt sheets, whether it's true or a rumor. But at the same time, if a wrestling company can pull that element of surprise, it makes it so much better because us fans do understand how hard it is to keep a secret in wrestling, thus giving a much bigger reaction.
It's refreshing to hear Coachman talking about not going back. I'm sick of hearing JR moaning about how he was treated, even though he kept going back again and again.
Awesome interview
Another top notch interview Chris. Fantastic job. Not a big deal, but the camera shot on Coach cut the top of his head off.😬 Maybe rework the product placement a bit for future interviews? Whatever, this was another 10/10 interview. You really seem to have a rapport with all your guests. Always a pleasure to sit down and watch these.
Keep'em coming!
This interview is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dance that Charleston Coach! 😭😭
These clips have me going back to watch the segments
I used to hate Coach because he was able to play the heel so well in the early 2000s. It carried over when I started seeing him on Sportscenter on ESPN you could already imagine my shock lol. But Coach seems like an extremely solid guy and he's way more talented than given credit for. Thank you for allowing us to see a side of Coach we otherwise might never have CVV!
I grew up watching the Rock and coach chemistry on the mic and just loved that
I was there in San Diego, my sister took me and he said "I only want to see the Rocks fine ass" I said "he won't be there he doesn't wrestle anymore" and he showed up and we POPPED!
This is a great interview
Coach you are one of the coolest and nicest people I have ever met.
Loved having The Coach on commentary with JR & The King!!!
Coach was a important piece to the attitude era them promos was gold
Coachman & The Rock partnership backstage made those promos so legendary
Hey chris these coachman interviews are excellent
Him and the rock pure gold
I’m pleasantly surprised by these Coach videos
I was there in Sam Diego that night amd Coach is 1000% correct. The pop for The Rock was EPIC!!! BEST TIME EVER.
The best surprise I ever witnessed as a fan was when the hardy boys returned at wrestemania 32. The delivery, the surprise, the entrance, the crowd, and even the match was on fire
Hell yeah man , I came over from the UK. Was super close too the ring too and I lost my damn mind when the hardy boys came out! I’ll never forget it 🔥🔥
It doesnt matter how you got the name COACH! That still cracks me up😂
coach is good dude got to drink beers with him and bischoff at the marriot next to nassau coliseum after the infamous raw with the triple h booker t nappy hair promo
Coach makes a very valid point that isn't mentioned much.
Coach a legend what a guy
I had to stop it when he said imagine if you've got 15 lebron James's, WCW had 15 lebron James's, wwf had a couple of MJs, Austin, the rock and the game are on another level
This really makes me think of Kane ! He deserved so much more in the company, and every interview I’ve seen about him say he was the nicest guy and was happy to just be there. If he were more selfish as coach says perhaps he would have won way more championships and would have really dominated wwe
Selfishness isn’t always a bad thing. We are priority number 1 in our own lives and we have to look out for ourselves unfortunately if we don’t have anything, but lines get a little blurred when you have more than enough and still refuse to help or give to others who are in need. Now that’s when selfishness is problematic.
Coach was great. Backstage. On commentary. Respect
They were definitely right about the element of surprise back then. The internet has changed that completely. One moment I will always remember was big show aka giant aka Paul white, showing up during Austin vs McMahon cage match. That blew my mind because I never thought I’d see him in a wwf ring.. or when we finally realized it was Jericho behind that countdown.. the element of surprise it a huge part of wrestling and it’s completely killed in this social media era
The Jericho one was a great bit as well
@@danielland3767 yes !!!! I had no idea what that was and I was shocked when I saw Jericho lol
@@MR.__G my silly azz never looked at the "2J" of Y2J. I kept seeing Y2K 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏾🤣🤣
@@danielland3767 😂😂😂😅 !! I still remember asking my mom what that timer meant. It was creeping me out. Thought it was like the end of the world or something lol
@@MR.__G lmao..right. I think the crossover between Jade Cargill & Sasha Banks could have been great of kept low key on both companies part.
While we want to Jade now, it's only going to be "when is your 1st match in WWE" all over her IG now
I always love seeing Coach in WWE
I miss Jonathan Coachman on wwe he was such a good talent to have
Whenever I hear The Backstreet Boys I think of The Rock doing to promo for The Hell in a Cell match 2000 when he said Austin was driving a truck listening to them 🤣
Jonathan Coachman, hes the guy I named my runescape character after back in 2006. I still play with that name and everytime i play a new game thats the name i usually go with
This is a masterclass in anticipation by Coachman. Tony Kahn should take notes
Rock's "It doesn't matter" skit is legendary.
The Rock and The Coach had good chemistry.
Good for COACH!!! 💯
I still remember the golden day of "What in the blue hell are you smmmmiling at, YOU SIIICK FREAKK!!" with The Rock🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love you Coach. Thanks for being apart of my childhood.
Coach is a nice guy in real life, meet him in Lakewood AYSO soccer tournament, he helped us out building the goals for the kids.
i was there at the san diego show that was the loudest pops I've ever heard!
The elements of surprise in pro wrestling don't exist anymore? Prominence invading Stardom, Megan Bayne confronting Tam Nakano, Suzu Suzuki winning the 5 star GP...The sheer star power of Decade of Queens🤔
_The night with the cows_ 😆🤣🤣
To be honest, I have always watch wrestling.
Jonathan coachman is not a name I forget, JR and the king I will never forget.
Today's announce team the only one I can name off is Michael Cole who has not missed a day in 30 years and booker T who is on NXT.
I have no idea who the announce cast is for smackdown they all sound thr same. And I think it's wade barret who they recently added to raws.
the lack of headroom is killing me
The rock and taker were unselfish.
Shame on WWE for mistreating coach in 2018
coach your right on the money man
I remember going to see Wrestlemania for the first time ever with a guy who was trying to tell me spoilers for what was going to happen. We fell out of touch real quick after that trip...
Coach is a smart man. AEW , TNA, NJPW could use him.
I feel like Maven and Coach should do a video together. Might be some interesting topics.
THE COACH❤
2:40 Nailed my point about today's WWE and that there are no surprises. Roman and Rhea are never going to lose their titles 😴
Yup…they won’t take the belt off Roman because they are worried that the next guy won’t be able to draw. But back then they had 10-15 guys who could have the belt or at least make a believable run at it.
Eric Bischoff has preached this for years: you must have a live feel and an anything-can-happen atmosphere from surprises.
The Rock is now in the Board of Directors. Now is the right time Coach.
That segment with Eugene was brilliant I still watch it. I/we really didn’t appreciate coach as a talent back then.
They call him he’ll jump back 😂😂😂
Who else has went on CZcams to find the Eugene and Coach segment? Besides me🤣
Facts 👌🏿
We're in an era when fans will literally get mad at top guys for not putting younger guys over as if that's the rule
I always thought when Jonathan coach transitioned to espn I thought it was weird but now being older I can see why he made that decision and he fits better on espn than wwe anyways even though he could do both jobs flawlessly
" Do you people wanna see Coach Dance to the Charles man "
