News Item: Ex-wrestler Bad News Brown dead at 63
The wrestler, real name Allen Coage, began his career in Calgary's Stampede territory and then had a memorable run in the WWF in the '80s fighting Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, and others. He was known for taunting opponents by likening them to "bare-bellied share croppers," as well as for having a prominent beer gut even in the prime of his career.
Coage had been working in recent years as a mall security guard. I know I'd be scared to shoplift if I saw him nearby.
