#2 Was Great: Bad News Brown
With his streetwise mentality, loud-mouthed boisterous attitude, and propensity for calling his Enziguri finisher the "Ghetto Blaster," you might think Bad News Brown was the furthest thing from a martial artist you could find.
But on that point, you would be wrong. Unlike Steve Blackman, Bad News Brown didn't use his martial arts background as part of his gimmick.
But Allen Coage, the man behind the gimmick, studied Judo intensively from an early age. In fact, he is a former Olympic bronze medalist in the sport.
Bad News Brown was a mid-card heel during WWE's Classic Era. His gift of gab enabled him to work a program with none other than Hulk Hogan, whom he faced on an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event.
Bad News Brown is an example of a martial artist whose charisma superseded his status as a combat sports enthusiast. WWE didn't play up his Judo background because they didn't need to.
Despite having a good skillset, Brown did not win a single title with the WWE.
