@@OriginalWrestlingDocumentaries Many thanks for all the outstanding documentaries / short stories on some of my fave wrestlers like the late Bad Neas Allen / Brown & Mike Alfonso / Awesome🙂👍 R.I.P. to them both😇
@@Cazz8203 he would've easily in his prime LEGITIMATELY kicked anyone's ass on his roster (especially SCSA biting ass)plus today's roster, as well...ALL FACTS!
I consider myself lucky to have been able to see Stampede Wrestling live and in person in the 70’s and 80’s and not only see some of the toughest wrestling ever but also a boatload of incredible talent !! 👍🏻👌
He was one of those wrestlers that I knew was REAL and I believed EVERYTHING he said. He was a heel but I still found myself rooting for him because he was just such a legit badass.
Just some addition info on Allan Coage: he won the Amateur Athletic Union judo championship (heavyweight class) in 1966, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1975, as well as winning the open division in 1970. He also competed in the Pan American Games, winning gold medals in the heavyweight class in 1967 and 1975.
True like a black stone cold Steve Austin he was badass in the 80’s he was on Arsenal hall his match with Big Boss man Jake the Roberts Bret hart Hulk hogan Rowdy piper
I saw a Harlem street fight live and in person between Bad News and Macho Man back in the day. Always liked Allen's presentation and pro wrestling style and being a former judoka myself respect sensei Allen's accomplishments. RIP.
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.
That's the thing, though. Hogan would have never given up the belt and Piper would never agree to let Hogan beat him in the middle. That's why despite their history, they've had few 1 on 1 matches.
Vince made a bunch of promises to Bad News that he didn’t keep. It would have been awesome to see Bad News be the champ for 6 months or so and make a few extra bucks for his retirement as he was late 40’s at his peak in the WWF.
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.
H e was one of my favorite bad guys in stampede wrestling along with mukhan singh and kerry brown and steve di salvo. I miss stampede wrestling on saturday afternoon
It would’ve been like New Jack and the Gangsta’s 10 years earlier. Black wrestlers to that point had been mostly good guys and not talk about race issues.
I been telling people that for years stone cold stole bad news brown whole gimmick from his ring attire, bald head, attitude being a loner, taking no crap and feuding with authority jack tunney first ...vince took the angle to a new level bcuz the idea was already there but bad news brown whole gimmick is all over steve austin .. difference between two is they didn't let bad news brown say profanity like they let steve austin did
I can see your point. But Bad News Brown honestly wouldn’t been over like Stone Cold or New Jack for that matter. I believe the fans would’ve booed that man like they boo the tribal chief or even DOM DOM. But I digress 😊
There was never enough BNB I always wanted to see more from him He was the most unique character on the roster and arguably most gifted REST IN PEACE BAD NEWS BROWN 🙏
Bad News Allen also worked in the UWA(Mexico) and GWF (shown on ESPN). In Championship Wrestling from Florida he held three titles simultaneously (defeating Lex Luger for one.). The Andre story was also recounted in Brett Hart's book as well. Also check Bad News' shoot interview which is also on TH-cam.
Damn fine video man! About time Bad News Alan got some real serious respect. As much as I love Archie Gouldie the stamper it was bad news on and it was the greatest heal up Stampede Wrestling!
Thanks for giving Bad News Allen (Brown) some love. I got to see him wrestle once at an NHB wrestling event in Thunder Bay ON Canada and while he was limited in the ring, it was still an honor to see him.
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.
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!
I had no idea he was born in 1943... I thought he was in the neighborhood of Flair (1949). I also did not know how popular he was in other territories... God bless him.
Allan was working security in airdrie Alberta at the main mall their and he was outside in the back doing his rounds and I said are you Bad news Allan? and it was dark out i couldn't see that well but his eyes lit up and I could tell he was Smiling and he said "Yes I am" Allan you inspired and impressed many people with your amazing abilities and standing up for what is Right in a world where a lot of things are wrong the world misses you God Bless Brother.
the silent and humble ones are usually the ones who are the real bad asses. he seems like the real deal and seems like a nice guy from all the interviews ive seen with him.

He was such an underrated performer.
@WALK IN MY SHADOW he was a legitimate badass.
@@lardy70s And so was New Jack...Both them brothas was nothing to play with inside & outside the ring...They should do a feature film on them
He was pretty boring and over rated

He absolutely was underrated, Mr. Torres👌 In my opinion anyway, Bad News Allen was. R.I.P. Allen Coage😇
Pleasant surprise with this one. Bad News was the first heel I ever rooted for, just because he was such a badass.
I consider myself lucky to have been able to see Stampede Wrestling live and in person in the 70’s and 80’s and not only see some of the toughest wrestling ever but also a boatload of incredible talent !! 👍🏻👌
He was definitely the original Stone Cold. Dude didn’t give a shit and I don’t think he ever befriended anyone.
@@du6165 also the original ultimate warrior in stampede
He was one of those wrestlers that I knew was REAL and I believed EVERYTHING he said. He was a heel but I still found myself rooting for him because he was just such a legit badass.
Andre wanted no smoke w/him too...Smh
Yip,he was a badass,but he owned it,💯loved that.
The Ghetto Blaster was my favorite move when I was a kid. I never saw Bad News as a bad guy for some reason.
I remember when he went on the Arsenio Hall show too back in the day
Seems like Bad News Brown was the real deal even Andre the Giant didn't want no heat with him lol
Bad News Brown was so underrated. He was definitely ahead of his time.
Stone Cold, BPP, and Lashley all rolled into one.😉
@WALK IN MY SHADOW But still far better than Hogan, Lugar, Batsista, etc.😉🙈🙉🙊

Wow,he was dominating at an early age,on racked up some wicked titles year after year was very impressive.
Thank you 🙏🏾
One of the hardest wrestlers for sure
Yup, he was a bad ass and people loved his persona even tho he was a true heel. Stone Cold before Stone Cold
True like a black stone cold Steve Austin he was badass in the 80’s he was on Arsenal hall his match with Big Boss man Jake the Roberts Bret hart Hulk hogan Rowdy piper
Actually David Shultz was the stone Steve Austin of the 80’s
I don’t see that😬
He was brutally underrated. 😊
Criminally underrated.
He should've been a champion, intercontinental or world title.
No he wasn't underrated
More like criminally underrated, Coach😕
There sure was plenty of other wrestlers doing exactly what Bad News was doing,Rick Rude, Million dollar man,kokobware,Honky-tonk man,etc,etc
I always liked his work.
Bad News (in his prime) vs. Kurt Angle (in his prime).
Now THAT is a dream match.
Bad News would beat his ass!
I saw a Harlem street fight live and in person between Bad News and Macho Man back in the day. Always liked Allen's presentation and pro wrestling style and being a former judoka myself respect sensei Allen's accomplishments. RIP.

Yup 😊
All you beerbelly sharecroppers he reckons,😂😂😂
They should have given him a title run. his promos were top notch. "you beer bellied share croppers!"
A true American hero
Imagine if Rowdy won the belt from Hogan and later lost it to Bad News. The attitude era would’ve came early.
That's the thing, though. Hogan would have never given up the belt and Piper would never agree to let Hogan beat him in the middle. That's why despite their history, they've had few 1 on 1 matches.
"Don't Let the Hood Beat You Up and Take Your Money"
He was the real deal a legit shooter, Rhonda followed his career, and he was 10x tougher than Steve Austin ever will be!!
Vince made a bunch of promises to Bad News that he didn’t keep. It would have been awesome to see Bad News be the champ for 6 months or so and make a few extra bucks for his retirement as he was late 40’s at his peak in the WWF.
he was a standout back then, always enjoyed his matches
So many of the heels of the 80s and 90s are actually fantastic human beings

this was a good documentary y'all should do a documentary on Butch Reed
Thanks for this! I was a fan of Bad News Brown during his WWF time.
Thanks for watching!
H e was one of my favorite bad guys in stampede wrestling along with mukhan singh and kerry brown and steve di salvo. I miss stampede wrestling on saturday afternoon
Bad News Brown drew lots of heat!
He would've drawn so much heat in MID-SOUTH & CROCKETT back in the 80's.
It would’ve been like New Jack and the Gangsta’s 10 years earlier. Black wrestlers to that point had been mostly good guys and not talk about race issues.
Thanks for this one on Bad News Allen
In my opinion, I think that Bad News Brown would’ve been a great WWF/E Champion.
Vince neva gave him a chance 🤷🏿♂️
Rest in ☮️ Bad News Allen.
I seen him when I interviewed him in the 1976 Olympics after winning the bronze medal
I met him when I was a boy such a nice man
I been telling people that for years stone cold stole bad news brown whole gimmick from his ring attire, bald head, attitude being a loner, taking no crap and feuding with authority jack tunney first ...vince took the angle to a new level bcuz the idea was already there but bad news brown whole gimmick is all over steve austin .. difference between two is they didn't let bad news brown say profanity like they let steve austin did
exellent observation. great parallel between the tunny, and McMahon feud.
Yep Yep...And taking his Ultimate Warrior catchphrase too...Vince mad foul(Bet he never paid him a dime for that)...Smh
And Bad News wasn't white
I can see your point. But Bad News Brown honestly wouldn’t been over like Stone Cold or New Jack for that matter. I believe the fans would’ve booed that man like they boo the tribal chief or even DOM DOM. But I digress 😊
I Admired His Heel Run In The WWF But Was Sadly Short ... S.I.P Bro 👊🏾✊🏾
Thanks man. I needed this. All you beer belly sharecoppers better listen up.
There was never enough BNB
I always wanted to see more from him
He was the most unique character on the roster and arguably most gifted
REST IN PEACE BAD NEWS BROWN 🙏
What an accomplished man. Lived a hell of a life for sure
Bad News Brown was one of the best heels, he was always entertaining!
I remember him for the first time wrestling for Championship Wrestling from Florida, which was an NWA affiliate... He was a solid heel
Fantastic job.
I hated the guy when I was younger. Then forgot about him for years until I saw his interviews. Seemed like an awesome man
My dream match would've been him vs Goldberg in both their prime...EPIC!
@@dsword456That would of been a good match - unless Bad News decided to shoot on him.
Thanks for making this video Bad news Allen is my 1 no. favorite wrestler.
Nicely done. Always liked Bad News. Only saw him once, when he had a program with Jake the Snake. His comedic style was underrated as well

The Andre story was also recounted in Brett Hart's book as well. Also check Bad News' shoot interview which is also on TH-cam.
he wasn't exactly a fan of Bret or Owen.
Wow! Growing up watching him; he use to scare the crap out of me….I never knew he was so kind hearted. Miss you Bad News!
Damn fine video man! About time Bad News Alan got some real serious respect. As much as I love Archie Gouldie the stamper it was bad news on and it was the greatest heal up Stampede Wrestling!
Jesus the stamper...what a scary fuckin handle
Bad News Allen did quite well crossing from one sport to another sport. Im happy he was able to get out the hood & achieve his dream.
I would of never guessed that Bad News and Harley Race were the same age!
Thank you for posting this; Bad News was a great talent and a great guy..
I've always been a fan of heel wrestlers and Allen was easily in m y top 6. Like everyone else has said, legit badass!
Great vid man....One of the most underrated wrestling of any race
I just can't imagine anybody calling this man the N word.
I like this channel. Endless material to do in your format.
Great video upload enjoyed watching it very interesting 👍
I hated him as a kid. Now I am quite fond of him.
Thanks for giving Bad News Allen (Brown) some love. I got to see him wrestle once at an NHB wrestling event in Thunder Bay ON Canada and while he was limited in the ring, it was still an honor to see him.
A legit badass......
Great documentary! I was legit scared of Bad News Brown as a fan of Professional wrestling. RIP Allen Coage Bad News Allen
Was i wrong for cheering 4 Bad News when he fought Hogan back in the day he acted like the older guys in my family so i loved Bad News great video bro
Nope I cheered for him too.. Thx bro
Hogan is pathetic, you done good.
@@Hoonozit yes he is!
You had taste at a young age!!
It was Wrestlemania 6 he fought Piper. Not 11. Just a quick correction. Love your videos
@@chrischar9428 lol you CLEARLY watched it 😁
@@KHLB516 well it's the only thing I've ever seen on him . So I liked it !
@WALK IN MY SHADOW Yup, it mainly was garbage, sir👌
He didnt say WrestleMania 11, he just said WrestleMania, unless at the time u saw the video it said WrestleMania 11 and he went and took out that part
@@KHLB516 what parts were wrong?
He was tough
Also bad news Allen was part of UWF in Japan
Bad News Brown should have won the WWF Champion
Fantastic work
Thank you for posting this
Gday luv
Never knew he passed.
What a legend
Wow
Very impressive
I liked his personna tough as nails
RIP loved the fact no silly gimmick
Thank you
I enjoyed this.
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.
He also had a good run in CWF
My favourite of all the stampede guys. True legend.
One of the best. Thank you for this. So few docs on Bad News Brown.
What's with the speed reading narration? Take a breath my man, it's a great video, just slow the pace down a bit.
'He was a blue print for steve Austin'? I have never, ever, ever heard that before lol.
well you could make the case that Dr D was (guy who slapped a news reporter for calling wrestling fake).
I didn't know he worked for Vince Sr in the late 70s.
I'm really enjoying these. they're like Pringle chips. one is never enough.
More than a pro-wrestler, he was a true warrior. RIP Bad News Brown
Awesome
I grew up in Calgary and watching Bad News was a huge part of it.
Thanks for this piece on Bad News!
Great video. First time watching this channel and impressed by the information and editing. Subscribed.
I Was Looking ForWard To Him Being A WWF InterContinental Champion ... Was Broken Hearted When He DisAppeared From WWF ProGramming ...
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.

This is fascinating!
I had no idea he was born in 1943... I thought he was in the neighborhood of Flair (1949). I also did not know how popular he was in other territories... God bless him.
I loved his finishing move...
best wrestling channel . no bs. tells the stories of the old territories and the legends. not covering the new so called era of wrestling of today. 👍
This channel is so good - a hidden treasure among all the other wrestling channels
great info. loved he helped out his community without looking to be glorified
Very underrated wrestler
My favorite wrestler of all time
Great content
Thanks!
He was so awesome, I wanted him and Hogan to feud when I was younger with him coming out on top.
Saw Bad News and talked to him a few months before he died
Allan was working security in airdrie Alberta at the main mall their and he was outside in the back doing his rounds and I said are you Bad news Allan? and it was dark out i couldn't see that well but his eyes lit up and I could tell he was Smiling and he said "Yes I am" Allan you inspired and impressed many people with your amazing abilities and standing up for what is Right in a world where a lot of things are wrong the world misses you God Bless Brother.
Bad News Brown was really a legitmate fighter outside of the ring.
Allen Was A Pretty Cool Guy Knew Him A Little From His Time In New York #RespectAndPrayers #AllanCoage #BadNewsBrown
Respect!!!
Mind blown....until now never knew Bad News character was big inspiration for Stone Cold Steve Austin, went over my head for nearly 30 years
This guy could tell a story.
the silent and humble ones are usually the ones who are the real bad asses. he seems like the real deal and seems like a nice guy from all the interviews ive seen with him.
