    I loved watching Bad News Brown as a kid. He was one of those wrestlers that really scared the shit out of me, he was so believable. I remember both those Survivor Series matches when he quit on his teams, his teammates would go to make the tag and he would turn around and walk away. The announcers said he was a loner and had no friends. He was a damn good heel and had one of the dopest finishers, the Ghetto Blaster.

    I loved seeing Bad News Brown in the WWF. It was the first time I ever saw him in the ring and he was a legit badass. I wanted him to win the title, but it never happened. Then he was gone and I never saw him on TV again as a child. Only years later was I able to see his other matches in Stampede, NJPW, and other places. But when I heard of his passing online, it broke my heart.

    What's with the speed reading narration? Take a breath my man, it's a great video, just slow the pace down a bit.

    I grew up in Calgary and watching Bad News was a huge part of it.

    I did Judo for many years. Allen was good friends with my Sensei and I also knew Allen very well. He was very nice guy and a very good father. I used to laugh back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when people were terrified of him. One time we went out to eat at restaurant, and people who recognized him were scared of him. I just tried to hide my laughter. Ha ha ha!

    He had a successful athletic career in two sports. Too bad MMA really took off after he was too old to compete. I think he would have done well in UFC, PFC, XFC, UFC, PFL, etc.

      Krystof Soszynski said that Allen got him into MMA by showing him some submissions, he said Bad News would have been a great MMA fighter.
