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.

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.

The Andre story was also recounted in Brett Hart's book as well. Also check Bad News' shoot interview which is also on KZbin.
