10 Noisiest Wrestling Managers Ever

3. The Coach

For those of you who Googled The Coach and wonder how such a short-lived character makes it on an all-time list, please read the following pop quiz: 1) Your protégé has a headlock on his opponent and needs leverage what do you do? 2) Your protégé is trapped in a submission hold what do you do? 3) Your protégé is victorious what do you do? If you were The Coach, you would have sharpied a single word widely across the test page: whistle. It was a celebratory whistle. It was a whistle of approval at some, disapproval at others. It was a whistle of strength and encouragement. A whistle of distraction and mis-direction. It was a whistle among whistles. It was so monotone, so crowd-piercing, so persistent, it made you happy not to be in the first four rows, later made you grateful for a mute button, and finally made you long for a PPV blow-off match culminating in a whistle-swallowing spot. Hey, at least the trombone plays notes.
