• Old School WWF Manager Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the 89th birthday of Old School WWF Manager The Coach (aka “The Golden Greek” John Tolos).
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-1991, managing then Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect and WWF newcomers The Beverly Brothers, before he left the promotion and joined Herb Abrams’ Universal Wrestling Federation.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE!
