More wrestlers are passing away as time keeps going. Road Warrior Hawk. Ray (Big Bossman) Traylor. Eddie Guerrero. Owen Hart. And another is gone. He's Allen Coage (from Canada) better known to all as WWE 90s titular wrestling character heel (bad guy) from Harlem, Bad News Brown. Coage died of a heart attack after complaining of chest pains. He was a legend in his own right (although underrated), especially with his coupe de gras (finishing move) known as the "ghetto blaster."
Who could ever forget the baldness, the beard, the bulging eyes (sometimes looking at the cue cards while doing his Bad News Brown promo on TV), the fearsome (sometimes funny) voice sounding like he was straight from Harlem having sayings like "Beer-bellied Sharecroppers!" (about fans) and "Spineless cockroaches!" (about opponents), and his sweaty look on TV. Coage also was a judo champion winning bronze in the 1976 Olympics. He will be missed by the wrestling world.
Note: For those that didn't know who "Bad News Brown" was, refer to the YouTube video link above. He appeared in the Arsenio Hall Show. Footage is so funny, especially the ending!
