Was the first person ever to refer to Hulk Hogan as Hollywood Hogan, a nickname for many years.

He arrived in the World Wrestling Federation in 1988 as Bad News Brown, and it was during this time that he would achieve his greatest notoriety. While the roster was mostly filled with ultra-virtuous good guys and cowardly and monster heels, Bad News was something entirely different; a tough loner who stood on his own and fought to his last breath. While booked as a heel, Bad News Brown was more a good and bad guy, and his character would become the template for later characters such as Stone Cold Steve Austin. Some memorable moments from his WWF tenure included winning the battle royal at WrestleMania IV, and attacking Jack Tunney on The Brother Love Show. he eventually left the WWF in 1990 due to, as he claims, Vince McMahon's failure to live up to his promises.
