Jonathan Coachman Tells A Great John Cena Story 

Check out the full interview with The Coach: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GdxmfU4cQ8k.html

“Went from never drinking to drinking every night” my college freshman year experience in one sentence.

I feel like I didn’t appreciate coach as much as I should have when he was in WWE back then

Drinking 9 nights in a row and still putting one of the greatest matches ever 😮 what a legend 😂

This interview gives me a newfound respect for Coachman; eloquent, great storyteller and really made it a point to give his all to this industry.

We need more Jonathan Coachman stories 👏🏾👏🏾

I remember that Triple H return on Raw. The building was electric and it’s crazy because he was a super heel before he left. It shows just how much fans appreciate the wrestlers who give their all to the business

His mom was a middle school FACS teacher in Salina, Kansas. I was in her FACS class. Jonathan Coachman would comes back to Salina while he had a break and speak to us middle school kids in her classes. It was one of the coolest things of my childhood. I will never forget it. Mrs. Coachman was an amazing women.

*Coach actually seems like a nice genuine guy in real life. You see so many people from wrestling can't switch their characters off but he actually seems friendly, when you consider what his character was like his entire run with the company its pretty cool to see him outside the character.*

Those 2 matches Cena & HBK had are absolute masterpieces

I watched that match live with HBK vs Cena in London. Incredible match.

That Cena-Michaels rematch on RAW after Mania is still to this day, one of the greatest matches on RAw.

I’d love to walk in to a hotel and find a wrestling ring set up.

Lmaoo he ordered food and the producers told them it was OK to walk by

Steve Gomez from Breaking Bad stepping in at 25 seconds and then backing out of shot was a nice Easter egg. We are filming here, Gomey!

Chris Jericho once said in an interview that Cena has an Iron level when it comes to Alcohol.

So that's how you train for the 2007 Match of the Year

Coach played his role well, I always enjoyed him on screen honestly! & Chris is the man, the best interviewer! He comes off as such a nice guy too like, I just wanna be his best bro and buy him a beer or 2. Great stories always that we might not get in other interviews. Honestly, when you think about hollywood and 'fame' and everything, and how we envy the position some people are at, I can honestly say from watching years of CVV interviews that the man deserves every damn bit of success he's had and more!

I can listen to Coachman’s WWE stories all day! These are great

That Triple H return pop was INSANE!

Cena is indestructible

God damn flair, fleece the hell out cena 😂😂😂

The UK will do that to you

Coach is such an insightful cool guy. Great set of interviews with him.

Drinking and then performing with Shawn Micheals? Sounds like the way to do it

Yo John is literally this generations nature boy 🤣

It's nuts that Rock was rearranging that match with Hogan on the fly. I don't know how you could even hear yourself the way that crowd was going.

That is a legendary Monday night RAW match!

One of the best matches ever! Wish Sean won that night. Still remember watching it as a kid. Funny knowing these lil backstage details lol

Finally I joint the dots. During the infamous WWE 2K13, Ric Flair revelead that Cena was not used to drink before that night

That 2007 HBK/Cena hour long match on Raw in London was EPIC. That London Crowd was 100% behind HBK giving him the loudest cheers you'll ever hear and HBK won the match clean as well which you never saw during that time when Cena was at his absolute peak.

Sounds like a good chat man, can't wait to watch the whole thing, the coach was awesome

DX return in 06 is still one of the most iconic moments I think about during Coach’s run especially since he was beefing with them at the time 😂😂😂

That cena hbk rematch made me appreciate the wrestling aspect of wwe,when I was younger I always enjoyed the entertainment more but now that I’m older that match holds up to me as one of the best of all time

I always enjoyed Coachman. I wish he actually got to wrestle more or at the very least be an actual manager (not General Manager) for someone either up and coming or already established star

"Now Coach, dance the Charleston!"

I always remember when HHH tore his acl and we got those dope U2 beautiful day videos of his recovery and return. Dude came back so jacked it was insane lol. He had the new motorhead mix to his theme

Wow, drinking nonstop for 9 days and then off to a 60-minute iron man match, which became a classic that's seriously impressive

Always loved the coach. Cracked me up every week.

I use to love to hate Coach. Thank you for all that you've given. Future hall of famer.

that story with the Rock flipping the match with Hogan is absolutely insane. talk about knowing how the business works.

Yeah back then Cena could do that, he was still young(not saying he’s old now) but let him try and drink for 9 days straight and go have a 60 minute match now in his 40’s. 😂

On Rock changing the match based on the crowd reaction, that's such a lost art, like calling matches on the fly

Actually HHH returned 2 nights before in Binghamton. Loudest cheer ever

The Stone Cold & Coach Dry County Segment was one of the best.

delivery guy decided to himself if those two women can walk across well by golly i can too.

The rivalry between John and coach

If there's anyone who could carry a young Cena through a long post drinking binge match, it's sober HBK. The man knows from experience.

Shout out to the guy who wanders into the frame at 0:25 and awkwardly ducks back out lol

Cena a real champ I’m barely holdin on at work after ONE day of drinking lol

SOooooo Underatted as a professional.Here are your flowers. 💐

Triple H’s return at MSG was intense.

now this is an interesting interview, best one I've seen in a long time with NEW stories that have not been told 100 times before......

Coach is the true G of this story

According to Ric Flair, him becoming Cena's drinking buddy and trying to teach him how a World Champ should act is why they drafted him to Smackdown and later on forced the retirement angle on him. Poor Naitch just wanted to share some wisdom.

This is a really funny story that unfortunately made me realize that we're SO FAR into the future, that John Cena is retiring so now we're going to find out all the funny behind the scenes shit that happened, like the Undertaker who is retired and now has a RU-vid channel chronically all these great stories. Vince McMahon is not in charge anymore. We are currently living through the end of a generation.

I have to go back and watch that Ironman match on RAW. I never noticed anything unusual with Cena during the match. He did a good job handling his business despite the night of drinking beforehand. It reminds me of the Denzel Washington movie called "Flight".

Flair was setting Cena up for absolute failure lol..

I gotta find the time to watch the full episode. I Love Johnathan Coachman, and one could argue he’s just as influential to the success of the WWF/E as Jr & King or even Michael Cole

Take ZERO financial advice from Ric Flair... *Noted!

Coach is so great man

Nature boy had john paying for drinks 😂 wooo

Hell I drank one night for 6 hours straight in college and I was so drunk that the alcohol was coming out the pores of my body, the following morning I had to work the track meet for Xtra credit for class, remind you I'm a student Asst Coach for the basketball team. Yet I reak of alcohol. But to hear of Cena doing this for 9 days, that's rediculous!! I'm wowed by that

Coach is one of the first to actual state numbers

coach is a good dude. He dealt with alot of boo's and fans telling him he sucks a ton but always kept it professional. I remember watching ESPN one day and saw him as an analyst. I was like "Dude! thats the Coach from WWE!"

As a guy that had a full quad tear, followed by surgery and rehab. i can say Hunter coming back in 8 months is crazy!

Yo at 42 seconds guy in background pulled a coach. He peeked then hid, then as other people walked across he got the courage to cross too lol

I've been drinkin' 20 years straight, heck I'm drinkin' right now!🇮🇪🍺

I never knew the 1hr Cena v HBK match was all because of a rib.

Of course Ric Flair convinced Cena to buy all the drink. 😂

I never knew hbk and cena had a head up a day before their 1 hour match. I always thought it was the day of the show that they string together because they decided to suspend orton.

The Coach!

I've said it for years, Coach deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. The Rock should induct him lol Though I believe he's mentioned before he isn't interested, could be wrong though.

Cool story Coach made that match that more outstanding

They did not square off and trash talk for an entire 10 minutes to start the match.

Man I can’t drink non stop for two days .. those some bad mamajamas 😂

Love the old stuff

Chris was channeling some LA knight in that interview

“You got the pay for all the drinks” thats what get to wrestle at age 70

If John was my childhood heroe, now he’s my adult benchmark. Making money, having fun and being responsible for the show

Stone cold AND RICK FLAIR THATS THE SPIRIT MY BOY. When STEVE TOASTE WITH CENA IN THE HOF HE KNEW HE CAN TOOK 1 SMALL BEER

Granted... there's a few discrepancies with Coach's story (likely due to incorrectly remembering) Like...this was 2007 and not 2005. John hadn't just won the wwe title, he had been WWE Champion since the previous year defeating edge at Unforgiven. But regardless, it leads to an accurate place... my favourite and arguably best match of Cena's is that 60 minute iron man match with michaels in the UK. That Mania 23, HBK lost to Cena. Fans were pretty pissed off since they expected Undertaker and HBK to both walk out with gold that night. (Only Taker did by defeating Batista) But HBK and Cena had so much chemistry, i was still a teen and i watched that match while visiting some family... I remember we were gonna leave to go back home and because of that match.. people stayed glued to the TV and we ended up watching the whole thing until it was over. Insane how Cena had been utterly wrecked for days and put on an unbelievable match.

I can never imagine Cena drinking alcohol. He always so PG normally

400k bonus for 10 day tour is crazy

COACH!!!!! ❤️

Coach is my guy! 🔥

0:26 they did man dirty. Made sure to put him in the shot & he tried to be as unseen as possible.

He never aged a millisecond! He gained some weight, but he didn't age much.

Rick Flair tricking John Cena to pay for his alcoholism and trying to get him hooked on grandpas magic elixher.

Imagine having a super hangover then wrestling a match that would be very hard to do

😂😂😂Vince has no off switch

So cena was hungover we he had probably one of the greatest matches in his career

One of the greatest WWE matches ever Michael's v Cena in England

Only 9 days 😂… geesh

Subbed!!

How is the thumbnails tell us him being drunk for 9 days is a good thing

TBH, Shawn Michaels can put over a cadaver.

My favorite Raw match of all time

Calling God G is pretty wholesome

The pride of McPherson, KS!
