According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon has been pretty enraged in the past couple of weeks, especially when it comes to his announcers. Getting rid of Joey Styles and Jonathan Coachman was the ultimate act of his rage, although he had been unhappy with their work, as well as Jim Ross’ performance as of late. This could also be the reason Mike Adamle got a match in on RAW tonight.
As far as Jonathan Coachman is concerned, his current contract is coming to an end. Coach was considering going full-time for the MSG Network, which he’s been with for a while now on part-time basis, and is highly respected there. However, news has it that he has gotten quite the break, as he has signed with ESPN for an anchor position. For those who are unfamiliar with Coach as a basketball announcer, he’s easily one of the best ones in the business. I know it sounds strange, but he’s a very good play-by-play guy, and is very respected everywhere he’s worked.
