Allen Coage a.k.a. Bad News Brown, 1943-2007


From pwtorch.com:

Bad News Allen (Coage), who wrestled in the WWF in the late 1980s as Bad News Brown, died (Tuesday) morning of a heart attack. He was 63. He earned his rep as a good worker and excellent heel in Japan and Calgary Stampede Wrestling before his WWF stint. In the WWF, he feuded with Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan in headline matches. He did not wrestle in recent years. In the 1970s, he became the first American to win a medal in judo at the Summer Olympics, which were held in Japan at that time. Funeral arrangements are pending and services expected to take place next week.

RIP Badnews!
you will always be remembered for the prototype for all the loner Stone Cold Steve Austin type wanna be wrestlers.
