The Time Bandit....Bad News For "Bad News" Allen
So, I hopped into the TimeMachine, and found myself in the middle of nowhere in Harlem, somewhere in the mid seventies.
As I looked around I could see an old, abandoned warehouse, which said in bold letters across the frontā¦āHarlem School of Judoā.Ā Without a moments notice, I saw a large, bald, black man, āescortingā a younger black man out of the door.Ā He literally had a hold of the manās belt with one hand, and the scruff of his neck in the other.
āGet the hell outta here!ā yelled the large man.
āWhat did I do?āĀ Inquired the smaller man.
āYour best isnāt good enough.Ā You arenāt trying!Ā You will never be a Judokaā
āButā¦buā¦ā
The Large manās eyes began to bulge out, as he threw the second man, onto his head, right amongst the trash in the streets.Ā A closer look revealed it to be āBad Newsā Allen Coage.Ā (Bad News Brown in the WWF).
āUhhh, Sir?ā
āYeah, what do you want honky?ā
āHonky??āĀ I wasnāt sure what that meant.Ā I knew it was a bit of an old school slur, but had never been applied to me.Ā I thought it was funny actually, but was too scared to laugh.Ā In particular, I noticed how easily he spit it out.Ā This was an educated man, who could scare you to death.Ā He was large, about 6ā5, maybe 240 lbs.Ā He had a bald head, and a large black beard.Ā He was āKimbo Sliceā, before such a man had even been born.
He wore a black gi, and had a black belt on around his waist.Ā He was the instructor here, but it looked as though he had thrown out his last student.
āYeah, thatās right, you little twerpy honky.Ā And what the hell is this accent you speakin with?ā
āI am a Canadian.Ā From Northern Alberta.ā
āNorthern Alberta?Ā What the hell are you doin here?ā
āWell, truthfully, I travelled back in time to get here.ā
āBack in time?Ā I mean, do I have a sign on my head that says stupid on it, boy?ā
āWell, the machine I go in, doesnāt tell me where I am going.Ā I just get in, and push the button.Ā Somehow I land somewhere near interesting people.Ā Usually Pro Athletes from the past.ā
āI am too broke to be interesting.Ā I just won two gold medals and a bronze for this country in Judo.Ā But still, I canāt find no students.Ā I canāt make no money, to get up outta here.Ā And the people, well, they aināt quite ready for a big black man to be in charge of anything.Ā So I am stuck here, in Harlem, trying to teach Judo, to these weak willed punks.ā
āWell, things change in the future.Ā Where I am from, itās not ok to be a racist a##hole, and hold people down based on color.Ā At least, itās better than it is now.Ā Black people are popular, and have the same jobs as white folks.Ā We are all trying as a society, to reverse the trends of the past.Ā Ā Hell, there is a black presidenā¦ā
āSee, now, you are playin with me, man.Ā That is a dangerous thing to do.Ā Black Presidentā¦yeah right kid.Ā They are gonna put you with the other beerbellied sharecroppers in the loony bin, if you keep talking like that.āĀ Allen interrupted.
āBeerbellied sharecroppers?Ā That is a statement you need to remember.Ā It will serve you well in the future.ā
āFuture?Ā I am trying to pay my rentā¦future?Ā What future.ā
āWell, actually, your personality will make you one of the best heels, ever to grace the pro wrestling ring.ā
āPro Wrestling?Ā I canāt wrestle man, I am a Judoka!Ā What the hell is a āheel.ā
āA heel is a bad guy.Ā And there is no money in Judo, dude.Ā Where I am from, you probably could have been an awesome MMA fighter.ā
āMMA??Ā What the hell is this MMA?āĀ He was getting angry.Ā "I AM a bad guy..."
āMixed Martial arts tournaments, from every discipline of fighting.Ā Wrestling, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and of course, Judo.ā
This interested him.Ā He was actually quiet, and didnāt look like he wanted to rip my head from my body.Ā It was only for a brief second.
Ā
āHey, cmere...āĀ Bad News said as he grabbed my arm.Ā He pushed me inside of the time capsule, the door shut, and he hit the button.Ā Lights churned and burned, and smoke started to come out of the floor.Ā The capsule wobbled, back and forth a bit, and then POOF!Ā There was a loud bang. āWe are going where you are from.Ā I hate it here anyway.āĀ He said.
The door opened, and out I stepped.Ā We had gone nowhere.Ā I then heard my own voice sayā¦āWhat the hell is this man?ā
I, in turn repliedā¦āI have never tried two people before.āĀ My voice was deep.Ā I sounded like Bad News Allen.Ā I looked down at myself, and I āwasā Bad News Allen!ā
And Bad News was me.
āThe Tachyons, must have sped up too much, causing a dramatic shift in our photonic layout, and dna chemistry..ā
āQuit talking shit man.Ā We switched placesā¦.I am you, and you are me.āĀ The previous āmeā said to the new me.Ā āChange this shit backā¦āĀ Even though he was a little white Canadian, he still spoke with a Harlem Accent.Ā
āUmmmā¦change it back?āĀ I didnāt want to go back.Ā I was Bad News Allen.Ā āWhat are you gonna do about it, Honky?āĀ I still spoke with a Canadian Accent.Ā It sounded deep, but funny nonetheless.
He grabbed my arm, and started bulging my eyes outā¦āNow you listen here Mutha f*ckaā¦ā
I pushed the little 175 pound white guy off of me.Ā This little guy couldnāt do anything about anything.
āShut up, Bad News.āĀ I said.Ā āGet the hell off of me.ā
āBad Wha?ā
Your ring name, Bad News Allen.Ā You become, particularly up in Calgary in the Stampede territory, probably one of the greatest heel characters of all time.Ā It must not have been hard for you to play a bad sumb*tch.Ā You are a bad sumb*tch!Ā Well, actually, now I am, and I am going to go into Pro Wrestling, and raise three times the hell you ever did.Ā I am going to make Archie āThe Stomperā Gouldie look like a nice guy now!.āĀ I was getting used to this.Ā I loved the sound of my voice.Ā I couldnāt wait to meet the Harts, Ed Whalen, Davey Boy Smith, the Cuban Assassin, Gerry Morrow, JR Foley, and the gang from Stampede Wrestling.
āNo, No , Noā¦not a chance.Ā You are going to stay here, and protect my little white ass, while I figure out how to get out of this mess.Ā How do you walk around like this anyway.Ā I feel weird, man.ā
āNo little white guy, I am not doing anything.Ā What are you going to do.Ā I will beat you up in the process.āĀ I started walking to the time machine...I was going back, to start cementing a new legacy.Ā I was going to change the events of time, and alter the space time continuum.Ā I would be the greatest Wrestling heel of all time, and I too would use the āGhetto Blasterā as my finishing manuever.Ā I would beat up faces, stab people with forks, throw them through tables.Ā It was definitely gonna be good news, for the āBad Newsā!!
But as I got closer he grabbed meā¦and pushed us both into the machine.Ā He shifted his weight ala Judo, despite his size, perfectly, and in I went, with no choice in the matter.Ā He was swift, and steady.Ā A real pro.
He hit the button, and again, everything started to shake, and rattle.Ā Smoke billowed, lights churned, and sounds of beeps and boops came from the mainframe computer.Ā The door opened and out we stepped.
āHonky?Ā I never did get your nameā¦āĀ I heard Bad News say behind me.Ā I was Monty again.
āItās Monty, dude.Ā I am going home, to see my old lady, and dog, and do some snowboarding I guess.Ā My life was good, but not quite the life of someone like Allen Coage.Ā
āSee ya, and I wouldnāt want to be yaā¦āĀ Ā Exclaimed the real Bad News Allen as he shoved me back into the machine and pushed the button.Ā The Machine quickly evaporated into thin air.Ā I was headed to my next destination.Ā He was heading towards a successful career in Pro Wrestling.
And so onā¦
