A fan posted a picture where Jonathan Coachman, aka The Coach, looks extremely short standing next to The Game. This happens despite WWE billing The Cerebral Assassin at 6’4” and The Coach at 6’3”. He looks like there’s at least a five-inch height difference between them. He questioned it, asking what was going on for Triple H to look that much taller than Coach, given their heights weren’t that different.

The Coach decided to answer the question, reposting it. He said that with Unreal now exposing the business, there was no reason to have more secrets. He asked the fans to notice his positioning in the picture: he is farther from the camera than The Game, so he looks smaller. He then added that he was also spreading his legs in the picture so far, so he was doing the splits. Vince McMahon, the then-chairman of the company, was adamant that wrestlers always look big, and so it was required for him to do these things to make The Game look bigger.

He said this was why he later became an on-screen character and stopped doing interviews.

“As long as we have UNREAL let’s give away more of the secrets. Notice my positioning. Always being the wrestler. Also my legs completely spread so almost doing splits. Vince McMahon was adamant that wrestlers always look big. It’s the entire reason I became a character and stopped doing interviews.”

This was not the only time it happened, it seems, as it was a common tactic among interviewers at the time.
