Mr. Chris Van Vliet, I have been a wrestling fan for the majority of my life. I really honor your contributions and without being too loquacious, I want to sum up in words what you mean to all of us. You give us the opportunity to not simply admire the artform but to also meet the painter. Thank you for bringing our favorite voices from your scope of influence to our living rooms.
The Coach is underappreciated. I remember growing up watching him and not liking him lol but as I got older I went back and saw what he was willing to do for us even if it embarrassed him, which happened a lot and it made me like him more
Easily one the greatest interviews on the channel! Congratulations to both gentlemen for the energy, authenticity, charisma, storytelling, insight and wisdom shared for nearly 90 minutes. Really appreciate it.
I used to be a "give 100% no matter what you do" person. 20 years later I realize that giving 100% no matter what gets you overlooked and taken advantage of. Sure it felt good at the time to have a sense of pride about my work, but it led to burn out and killed my passion once I found out that my work ethic and drive was purposely taken advantage of. Not because I wasn't liked, but because they knew I gave 100% no matter what and it saved it them money while I got nothing but my barely above minimum wage hourly pay.
My last job I gave 110% (Christian nonprofit organization) and what they they do after 5 years? They fired me without warning. Forced me to sign a NDA within 2 weeks and said I wouldn't get severance if I did not sign it. That's the last time I go above and beyond to make the working environment a better place.
As a person who has done what you did, I learned so much. That's what was valuable at the time. Not the recognition from the company. Or my supervisors. It was the knowledge I gained. I'll share two of the most important lessons. 1. I am always 110% when a supervisor is looking. Present or in the building. The higher the position of the supervisor, the better I am. 2. If my performance will directly affect my bosses job. Or how his boss perceives THEIR performance; I exceed their expectations. (Make your boss look good to their boss) The rest of the time, I do just enough to separate myself from the rest of the workers. A couple of things happen with this behavior. Coworkers know you're the one. They either step up or get exposed. It also allows me to keep my head right. I'm not too stressed and I'm not killing myself. I still maintain my "best worker here" title for myself and for those around me. I don't complain to people that matter... that you have to learn. Because your promotion might not have happened because a coworker ran their mouth.... I make a good living in retail. Now, I'm the guy that hires and promotes people.... keeping my mouth shut around coworkers was a major reason why.
I like how historical revisionism is always a thing lol. Coach sucked, and should have never been anywhere near anything that has to do with wrestling. Be that on commentary or the ring. He should've stayed a no name interviewer like the beginning of his career.
Back in April of 2003, as a child, I attended my first Raw, in Milwaukee near where I lived, and was soooo excited. An episode of Sunday Night Heat was filmed right before, which Coach was cohosting at the time with Lita. I was probably annoying, because I kept waving at them…I was just thrilled to be there after wanting to attend Raw for over a year! Anyway, Coach *repeatedly* smiled/waved back at me. That was my first experience with a famous person and Coach was one of my favorites on WWE, so it really meant a lot to me! If you see this Coach, I was just a random young girl at a show 20 years ago, but what you did for me meant a lot to me as a child (thank you so much).
I will admit. I never was the biggest coach fan. But after seeing this. And seeing how and who he is, I have a lot of respect for him. And alot of what he has said has hit me in a good way. Made me see some things I do in a different light
The pay check likely didn't bounce its more likely he held on to it for too long and then needed a reprint but they were already filing for bankruptcy. He clearly thought Vince should have paid him out of pocket or from the WWE's payroll just because they were friends even though he was an XFL employee.
@@allmightylowercasejay1138 The company going bankrupt definitely is a better justification. If you're working for a company that's clearly on the verge of going bankrupt you need to run to the bank as soon as you get your check.
@@allmightylowercasejay1138more likely Vince pulled the rug from all employees by stiffing them on the pay by issuing checks knowing full well they wouldn't be honoured. When a billionaire pretends he's broke, you know they are scum.
I’m one of those people who only knew him as the Coach from WWE. Like he said, I don’t really watch any other sport. This was amazing. Such a great interview. As a wrestling fan, I used to despise the Coach (which is proof that he was good at his job) so I came into this with low expectations but this was really a great surprise. Looking forward to the next Jonathan Coachman interview now !
Benoit was an absolute tragedy, I grew up just a couple blocks away from his parents and when I was a kid somewhere around 9 or 10 when Chris was still with Stampede Wrestling we walked by while they were hosting a bbq with a bunch of the guys. Of course we fanboid but they didn’t shun us, instead they asked us to stay for some dinner…for the next couple hours I got to talk to some of my biggest hero’s in a completely casual setting and they made us feel like we were part of the family. To this day, I legit tear up when I see anything about how it all ended, because it just didn’t make any sense for the guy I knew who had a huge heart and was more than giving, family and friends were everything to him.
Man you are so lucky. I never me Chris but I idolized him so much and when he passed away I cried and to this day I cry even more knowing this couldnt be Chris I saw on tv, Chris the wrestler I wanna be and to this day I remember myself on him every day. Because I wanted to be like him but when he passed away my love for wrestling died. I do watch but its not the same knowing he isnt around anymore not in ring but just in generally alive. I dont wanna believe and still to this day I keep saying it wasnt him who did it and I'll die saying it wasnt him who killed Nancy & Daniel before taking his own life. I hope family has its peace now and I hope long life for remaning Benoits from his father & mom to his sister & kids from first marriage.
This was another excellent conversation Chris. You have made a reputation of trust, letting others feel comfortable with you. It shows. Your interviews are enlightening and show so much more than the business. Thank you for your show. Keep up the great work.
The Coach is absolutely the man. Fantastic interview you've conducted, Chris, as always. Coach is fascinating to listen to recounting his illustrious career as one of the most successful men to ever participate in any capacity of professional wrestling. I appreciate Coach's dedication to his craft and performing for us for so many years some of the most memorable moments in WWE history. Thank you, Coach, for everything you gave to us wrestling fans and stil continue to give to this day.
He is right about the fans and their obsession with the dirt sheets. I’ve heard people be mad about stuff that’s good because the sheets had them thinking that something else was supposed to happen. Even if that idea was never in consideration people will compare it to what they thought should happen. You wouldn’t enjoy a movie or a show that way what makes you think it’s different for wrestling
So true, i hate this dirt sheet smart fan era of wrestling. Sure there were always smart fans that knew the ins and outs but that was a small percentage. Now everyone know storylines weeks in advance, returns, departures etc
Thankyou CVV so much for this great interview. Coach was so involved in my childhood love of wrestling, never knew anything about him personally until today! Loved the interview.
Coach is definitely one of my favorite people. Inside wrestling, he was fun to watch. Outside, he's fun to experience. And they're two very different feelings for me.
Coach! God I miss him on WWE tv. Just sitting down to watch this now. He was a very entertaining character and I wish him all the best with whatever he tackles nowadays
I love that this dude started off as a wrestling fan and became the interviewer people want instead of having to look for people! Love your work Chris! Sucks that they burnt coach bad, he was one of my faves
CVV! This was one of the best. VERY inspirational to any hosts, broadcasters, podcasters, or emcees from The Coach. I remember feeling it when Coach was gonna turn heel and then one day WHAM a chairshot to the back of Shane-O Mac from someone juuuuust off camera. Pan out...and it's THE COACH! I loved it so much.
Amazing interview. Been a while since I could watch one in its entirety and this one just hit the spot. Hope you and The Coach make more magic together down the road. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Coach is the man. As a guy who has wanted to be in broadcasting my whole life, coach is the only guy I could look at who did both wrestling and sports at the highest level. A true hero of mine.
Thanks for a great Interview! Looking at how eloquent and passionate he is in this interview, it really makes me sad how badly WWE treated him. And in spite of everything, he still manages to juggle being honest with being tactful in his replies. There's a lot of hurt, but he's not bitter about it, even as he's learnt to protect himself.
I’m 7 minutes in and this is already an amazing interview I can tell. Coach is well spoken and entertaining to listen to. Maybe his voice also gives me childhood nostalgia
It’s great to see him in a good place, and I’m glad he didn’t let the tough moments he had in WWE keep him from obtaining success outside of pro wrestling.
In the mid 2000s I couldn’t stand you, which means you were fantastic at doing what you were supposed to do. This is the first time I’ve heard from you since the WWE days and honestly, you’ve become one of my favourite people coach. Thank you for everything you did in WWE during my youth, and thank you for everything you do still even if I don’t see it.
Marvelous interview. I said I will listen to this for 1o minutes while I do the dishes and go to bed. Man, I watch the whole things straight through. So much wisdom. Bigger fan of Coach than before. Thanks Chris.
This interview was amazing! The Coach always made me laugh on television during his time on the WWE. I can relate on how staying motivated to do the job you love vs the job you hate but have to do for money. This was a great interview and so motivating to hear today. Keep up the good work to the both of you.
Great interview, Coach really can weave a good tale. My biggest take away from this is that i hope at some point in my life i love myself as much as Coach loves himself. I mean that in the best way. He has a lot of self confidence and it's well earned. Hope his son has great success in golf as well.
This has to be one of the most interesting interviews ever of someone who's been there for at least two decades and then got no respect. That's sad. being from New York It was kind of strange seeing how quickly he went from being on MSG late night to ESPN and I think it only lasted like a month. Good for him. Jonathan Coachman you're the man!❤
Probably one of the best interviews I've seen on your channel. I wish more guest had the energy The Coach bought to your interview. Excellent job to you both
The Coach is one of the most underrated performers in WWE history!! Chris you keep bringing the best interviews in wrestling/entertainment PERIOD!!! You are literally second to none with your questions the way you let your guest speak and respond!! Anyone who wants to be an interviewer should no NEEDS to watch how you do it!!! Bravo!!! 👏
As a kid, Coach was somebody I genuinely enjoying whenever he would be doing interviews, or building. He was extremely funny, and he played the heel role so well. I really appreciate this interview man and thank God for Peacock. Reliving moments in the attitude era that I was too young to remember, and moments in Ruthless aggression that I may have forgotten. Chris, you asked some great questions man. Could tell Coach really enjoyed sitting with you. Also, you provided great POV’s to what the WWE is missing today.
If there’s ever a time where Chris doesn’t mention that he was there when WM18 gets brought up, I’ll be disappointed. That’s one of my favorite staples of this channel. Great interview as always, I could listen to Coach for hours.
I always hated coach growing up but he was doing exactly what he was paid to do and that was to make me hate him lol listening to him now even a few years removed from his last stint in wrestling you really can see that he hates it ended the way it did. He is so well spoken and like you said in the interview a great storyteller. Respect to The Coach 🤘
Man, I hope it works out, so much of this interview hits on exactly how I feel. I'm pouring my heart and soul into everything I do, I just really hope it works out one day.
This interview was awesome, coach has always been a good talker. I’ll never forget when the first take guys was on vacation and he filled in one day and he did great. I knew it was behind the scenes politics going on when he never went there again.
You just have good vibes to you man. I dnt even watch wrestling anymore but love the behind the scenes stuff. Its always interesting to learn how a billion dollar company operates. Keep at it Chris! Aka CVV!
Great interview, Chris. You did an excellent job. Your interviews get better and better with each person you interview. When Jonathan Coachmen said something about when you get older, you get wiser. I was thinking I hope Vince McMahon wakes up and gets wiser and makes amends before it's too late. Also, would you ever interview Jdfromny206 again because that was a great interview.
I think that Jonathan Coachman got it confused to this day, but the Ying Yang Twins never made his theme song, it was a rapper named "Homebwoi" and he simply name dropped the Ying Yang Twins in the song. Not that it really matters but i've heard him say this a couple times ! great interview as always !
Chris if you’re reading this I just wanted to tell you that I love what you do. I love how much I have learned from you and the people you have interviewed. Hell I learned a lot from this one alone. Thank you. Keep up the good and inspirational work.❤
Excellent interview by Chris, and Coach is a great interview subject. Indeed he's a great storyteller. I think the Coach was underrated during his time in the WWE. He was very versatile and would do anything to entertain us, even if it was to make us hate him. He played his character so well.

Truth my brother, it's so true. I say give 100% to friends and family, but never employers. I do about 65% or 70%

When The coach speaks you just can’t not watch until the end. He has this aura about him. So so talented.Good luck JC
Hurts to see they burned him so bad that he wants 0 to do with wrestling.
And really surprising too considering their record, just be glad he's not dead
His ego still burns brighter than the sun

@@davidepannone6021i felt the same way about Cole. Coach and Cole were only good for interviewing The Rock 😂
@@Hypno_BPM pretty much.
The fact he was in the Ring with Goldberg, Rhyno, Ric Flair, Edge, etc. is pretty extraordinary given how he got in the business.
@user-tn8uu2cu8gwe don’t come here to be berated by you about religion.
Seriously the best interview you’ve ever done
PLEASE have him back
Why? Yall will do nothing but shit on him

One of the best interviews I've seen in years. Such an engaging guy. I'm so glad he is doing so well
This has to be one of the most interesting interviews ever of someone who's been there for at least two decades and then got no respect. That's sad. being from New York It was kind of strange seeing how quickly he went from being on MSG late night to ESPN and I think it only lasted like a month. Good for him. Jonathan Coachman you're the man!❤
CVV one of the best to ever do it. Great interview and Coach was an amazing guest. Conversation flowed, one of your best yet.
Probably one of the best interviews I've seen on your channel. I wish more guest had the energy The Coach bought to your interview. Excellent job to you both
The Coach is one of the most underrated performers in WWE history!! Chris you keep bringing the best interviews in wrestling/entertainment PERIOD!!! You are literally second to none with your questions the way you let your guest speak and respond!! Anyone who wants to be an interviewer should no NEEDS to watch how you do it!!! Bravo!!! 👏
Thanks for the very kind word, Jonathan!
no he wasn’t 😂 he was literally the worst part about this era of wrestling.
Love this interview and it's always nice to hear someone vocally slam how fake social media is. World'll be a better place when we finally get rid.
The damage is already done. It’s too late
@user-tn8uu2cu8gif I see you on another video doing this, I will be reporting you.
Please continue to have The Coach on your show more often! Love his stories!
this was one of your best episodes. Please bring him back often
That guy in the back walked in like "fuck don't want to lose this job" 😂
I love the Coach. He's been living the dream for years doing everything. Great guy.
Great episode! Thank you for booking The Coach.
Fantastic interview, again! Also for those looking to get into any sort of business, this is a must-watch. All those little details add up.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watched the whole interview. This had to be the best interview to date and Coach was the best guest so far.
One of my favorite interviews you’ve done! Great job! 💯
As a kid, Coach was somebody I genuinely enjoying whenever he would be doing interviews, or building. He was extremely funny, and he played the heel role so well. I really appreciate this interview man and thank God for Peacock. Reliving moments in the attitude era that I was too young to remember, and moments in Ruthless aggression that I may have forgotten. Chris, you asked some great questions man. Could tell Coach really enjoyed sitting with you. Also, you provided great POV’s to what the WWE is missing today.
Absolutely Incredible Interview Chris! Watched every minute. Coach is such a Legend!
I’ve not seen many but this was my favourite CVV interview. Loved it. Coach is a class act.
If there’s ever a time where Chris doesn’t mention that he was there when WM18 gets brought up, I’ll be disappointed. That’s one of my favorite staples of this channel. Great interview as always, I could listen to Coach for hours.
I always hated coach growing up but he was doing exactly what he was paid to do and that was to make me hate him lol listening to him now even a few years removed from his last stint in wrestling you really can see that he hates it ended the way it did. He is so well spoken and like you said in the interview a great storyteller. Respect to The Coach 🤘
@user-tn8uu2cu8gstop spamming.
Absolutely loved this show Chris ive been motivated and inspired by the Coach.
So glad to hear the coach is happy and doing well.
18:22 this mentality is why Vince always took a liking to Coach I bet
Man, I hope it works out, so much of this interview hits on exactly how I feel. I'm pouring my heart and soul into everything I do, I just really hope it works out one day.
Wow what an interview. Huge respect to coach. What a guy! Grateful 😊
This interview was awesome, coach has always been a good talker. I’ll never forget when the first take guys was on vacation and he filled in one day and he did great. I knew it was behind the scenes politics going on when he never went there again.
What an enjoyable chat! Appreciate this
!
Really good interview. I'm glad Coach is living a great & meaningful life
This was such a great interview!
Chris Van Vliet underated never duplicated but always and forever will be appreciated.
Thanks Coach!! I love the part where you mention to put in your 100% even when you don't feel confident.
Thank you both for the interview.
You guys have good chemistry, hopefully Coach becomes a recurring guest!
You just have good vibes to you man. I dnt even watch wrestling anymore but love the behind the scenes stuff. Its always interesting to learn how a billion dollar company operates. Keep at it Chris! Aka CVV!
Great interview, Chris. You did an excellent job. Your interviews get better and better with each person you interview. When Jonathan Coachmen said something about when you get older, you get wiser. I was thinking I hope Vince McMahon wakes up and gets wiser and makes amends before it's too late. Also, would you ever interview Jdfromny206 again because that was a great interview.
Clicking like to support. But I'll have to come back tomorrow to watch it! Melb, Aus here!
I think that Jonathan Coachman got it confused to this day, but the Ying Yang Twins never made his theme song, it was a rapper named "Homebwoi" and he simply name dropped the Ying Yang Twins in the song. Not that it really matters but i've heard him say this a couple times ! great interview as always !
Masterclass on how to get into the business. This is great to see from The Coach.
Coach crawled so McAfee could walk. Loved watching Coach back in the day
CVV is killing it. Keep it up bro. Let's get those clip on mics. It's gotta be a pain holding the mic for over an hour
Chris if you’re reading this I just wanted to tell you that I love what you do. I love how much I have learned from you and the people you have interviewed. Hell I learned a lot from this one alone. Thank you. Keep up the good and inspirational work.❤
Excellent interview by Chris, and Coach is a great interview subject. Indeed he's a great storyteller. I think the Coach was underrated during his time in the WWE. He was very versatile and would do anything to entertain us, even if it was to make us hate him. He played his character so well.
One of the best interviews on your channel CVV!
Very insightful. Good info and motivation. I remember when he showed up in the WWF in '99. Good to hear from The Coach!
