I just read that Bad News Brown died back in 2007. That totally sucks! I absolutely loved that dude as a heal. He also seemed so different from his character. The real person, Allen Gouge, I think his real name was? Seems like he would have been a really cool guy to meet and know.

I just rewatched the Brody Luger fight. The catalyst seemed to be when Brody was kicking Luger in the head and Luger was no selling his kicks. Brody would kick him the head and Luger reacted but barely. If someone kicks you in the head you shouldn’t be trying to get up afterwards. Luger kept getting up and that’s exactly the point Brody stopped selling.

Brody did a shoot interview, and you really should watch it. He knew his stuff, and had good ideas.

[@leogetz3570]

According to Luger, he did the match according to what Brody wanted to do. When Luger realized something was wrong, he told the ref to DQ him, then threw the ref to the ground to sell it, climbed out of the cage and left. Luger also said he asked Brody if it was something he did to upset him, to which Brody replied "It just wasn't working for me tonight, kid". Like I said, that's according to Luger, but who really knows

Bad News Brown's promos in wwe were always entertaining.

[@MrPotatoesLatkie]

Brody could have explained things to Luger. According to others, Luger was new and naive to the business. They could have had a good match, and entertained the fans. Something like "Oh, your telling me what to do? Your a new guy, and I have 15 years of experience. I LEAD, so you follow me!" But, Florida was a dying promotion then, so it was every man for himself. Were they feuding? Or, what was the purpose of a one off cage match?

Luger was no match for Brody in shape or fashion

[@takeo8082]

I remember seeing him when was Bad News Allen. He worked part time for Polynesian Pro Wrestling in Hawaii and they had a huge card called "Hot Summer Night". I think this was the only promotion in the US that had wrestlers from the WWF, WCW and AWA all on one show. Bruiser Brody was on the card. Too bad Brody and Stan Hansen didn't appear together in Hawaii during their frequent trips to Japan.

[@jeffreyb6165]

With all due respect to Bad News, that did not happen that way. He never beat Lex up and then Lex went cryin for the ref to open the cage door. Watch the video.

[@tragiksituation]

Yea I respect Bad News Allen but I look at it like this he did this interview in 2005 and at the time it was probably no film out online for anybody to see.....

[@84sp84]

You’re exactly right. Everyone knows Luger got pushed to the moon immediately and it rubbed guys the wrong way, but there was no need to lie about what happened between Luger & Brody.

[@JackBarrett7]

I was going to say the same. Lex climbed the cage. Bear in mind, though, this is coming from a guy who claims Andre was scared of him.

[@JackBarrett7]

@Damien Jones Grow up. Youve no idea how strong Andre was. I realize millennials are afraid to fight, so youre going to have to trust me on this one. Raw strength trumps knowing judo when youre too big to flip. If Allen was half as bad as his reputation, he'd have done something when Andre literally shit on him. I think your Afrophilia is clouding your judgment.
