10 Times Wrestling Announcers Really F*cked Up
10. Coach Confuses Kane For The Undertaker
By his own admission, Jonathan Coachman's 2018 WWE return wasn't great. The ex-ESPN host had never been brilliant on the call, but most reasoned that he'd add some decent third-wheel banter behind Michael Cole and Corey Graves on programming.
Then, the 26 March Raw happened.
Coach totally lost his bearings during a heated battle between John Cena and Kane. At one point, following a show of strength from JC, Coachman remarked that it was amazing John could pick somebody like The Undertaker up so easily. This might not have been as bad had the announcers left it there - Cena was wrestling 'Taker a few weeks later at WrestleMania 34, after all.
Instead, Cole deadpanned that Kane was the one in the ring, not Mark Calaway. Flustered and likely a tad embarrassed by his mistake, Coach fell silent before stammering his way through the rest of the match. His confidence had been knocked, and his credibility took a kicking live on air.
