From: Wichita, Kan.

Career Highlights: Part of RAW announce team

Associates: RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff

To some he is known simply as "Coach," to others he his known as the cocky young announcer of Sunday Night HEAT who has made a regular habit of putting down Jim Ross and aspiring to replace him as the lead announcer for RAW. Call him what you want, but Jonathan Coachman’s powerful voice and unique insight into the excitement that is World Wrestling Entertainment makes him one of the brightest young announcers to ever hold a WWE microphone.

In the beginning, he was a lovable, enthusiastic young reporter who would often find a way to entertain WWE fans with his antics during interviews with Superstars such as The Rock. While The Rock would accuse Coachman of some rather lewd activities with farm animals or make him sing in front of millions of viewers, Coachman held his ground firmly and never shied away from an interview.

Coachman’s career took a turn during SummerSlam 2003 when he shocked everybody and sided with Eric Bischoff during Bischoff’s match with Shane McMahon. The move led to a change of attitude for Coachman and he instantly began a crusade against J.R., the King, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Now, his association with RAW's General Manager is coming back to haunt him. After Bischoff lost to Eugene at Taboo Tuesday, Coach ended up being forced to wear a dress after trying to get Bischoff out of his match stipulation.

In the summer of 2005, Coach joined Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross at the RAW announcer's table, giving WWE a dynamic three-man team to call the action
