Former WWE announcer and current ESPN anchor Jonathan Coachman recently said in an interview with The Hutchinson News in Kansas City that his WWE employment background actually held him back from moving up the ladder at ESPN. Said Coachman, “It really held me back for a while. There were certain people (ESPN executives) that were fearful of some negative backlash that they hired a guy best known for wrestling … It was frustrating. I knew where I should be, at and I knew where I wasn’t. But I also knew the reason.”
