• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (May 28, 2009) – Old School WWF Manager Passed Away
On this day in 2009, we lost Old School WWF Manager Coach (aka “The Golden Greek” John Tolos) at the age of 78 due to kidney failure.
He did wrestle for various territories, as well as Vince McMahon Sr.’s World Wide Wrestling Federation, during the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s, before he joined Vince McMahon Jr.’s World Wrestling Federation in 1991 as heel manager The Coach.
Tolos only appeared on WWF TV for a few months in mid-91, managing then Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect and WWF newcomers The Beverly Brothers, before he left the promotion and joined Herb Abrams’ Universal Wrestling Federation.
† REST IN PEACE COACH!
