"I mean he used to drive to Chevrolet Chevette, he's got a point." Gotta love Jesse. I think this moment started his practice as a conspiracy theorist.
I use to watch wrestling in the old WWF days....I stopped watching in the mid-90s. It was getting shit. Bad News Brown was one of my old time favourites, along with Macho Man, Mr Perfect, Ravishing Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Jake the Snake and Brutus the Barber. But I have to say Bad News tops my "Alltime-favourite-wrestlers-list"
i guess u can choke ur boss and still have a job, BNB must have been in the union. They obviously made the point that tunney put his hands on him first. Kudos to his union, i wish mines was that good lol
Black dudes my get pushes but they never get the WWE Title push...sorry that's some big time bull...what was the difference between what BNB was doing ad stone cold...Absolutely nothing...and this dude never got a shot at being a heel champ???
An all star lineup in the Brother Love show, watching Brother Love smile while Bad News gives Tunney the business is what makes this whole bit a 5 star segment.
fed up with this race card shit. BNB wasnt champ cus he was black, wot about jake the snake, y was he never champ, cus hes white. if a black person owned wwf u think any of the wrestlers wud be white, hell no. they wud all be black, and you wouldnt hear white people moan. get over the colour of ur fucking skin, its old news.
@JulesGunn I think you're reading into it a bit much. LOTS of wrestlers don't get to be WWF champ. Like 95%. Many more whites were passed over than blacks. But McMahon has turned a lot of black guys into rich stars! If he was so racist, why would they get big pushes at all? The belt really isn't everything.
Bad News Brown was the baddest asskicker in the WWF and Brother Love looked like he used to tan next to the nuclear power plant...Awesome Combination!!
badnewsbrown was the shit. ill be honest. i love old skool til i die and wht i loved was the fact that back in the day it was bad guy vs good guy. now its wrestler vs wersler. bad news was a bad guy per say but he was willing to fuck up anyone in his path, he beat up bad guys and good guys. he was the first loner i loved that dude. i joke with cats now(i dont watch wwf anymore) but bad news always was the shit, besides macho man he was my favorite
I always wondered why Mcmahon never said he was the president when in fact he was?? Tunney was only running the Canadian leg of things for the WWF. I guess at the time he liked commentating better!
you can see the racial overtones in this angle .a white man of authority arrogantly puts his hands on this angry black man who only wears all black has a black glove meaning black power .who backs down or bows to nobody who don't give a shit about authority .puts his BOSS in check
LMAO "let me tell you somethin you spineless 2 legged ..RAT .Nobody.. i don't care if you are the president of the wwf .i don't care if your the president of the teamsters union .i couldnt care if your the president of the united states or the queen of england .nobody but nobody puts thier hands on bad news and if you do it again i'll beat all the ugliness off of you" .STR8 BAD ASS HEEL
they really need to bring back the Brother Love show as a regular weekly event. We have nothing that even approaches this at present (even the feable attempts) :( so sad.
Man these guys knew how to work back then. I forgot just how good Bad News was, he was definitely underused in the WWF. He could work and wrestle as good as anyone.
@bertmustin I believe they did. but it was brief if you type in bad news vs savage above you will see some matches I know Savage and Brown had several matches in Boston after this but the feud was brief and it was only to fill the gap between the Mega Powers fallout. Also a week later Savage came out and attacked Brown after his remarks about Elizabeth.
Tunney was a stooge for McMahon. If I had been Bad News I would've played the race card in public. And while I'm here, I never understood what religion and wrestling had in common.
BAD NEWS WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER WWF CHAMPION THAN STONE COLD.BAD NEWS WAS DA SHIT BEAT HIS ASS .PEEP JACK ON HIS KNEES LOL GET HIM BRO LOVE I USED TO LOVE DIS SHIT
You need guys like Jack Tunney on wrestling TV. They provide gravitas to the show which adds to the realism to the show. Not everyone can scream and do comedy promos.
I see Brown in the same way as the original Stone Cold.
Bad Bews Brown did'nt give a shit. He was from the streets of harlem and
could care less about any authority whatsoever. Love the WWF in the 80's and early 90's, lots of original charaters that can never be duplicated again.
80's & 90's best time to have been a kid ... best time to have been a wrestling fan ... best time to have been alive! Sub to my Channel if ya feel me!
Bad News Brown should have won a tittle, Intercontienntal or the heaveyweight one. He deserved a shot at the gold at least, if it were up2 me, I would have given him a title match.
bad news brown left wwe after summer slam in 1998 he claim Mcmahon never let up to his promises on being the first black WWE champion. bad news also said one time i getting pay checks with $250 dollars in the mail and said mcmahon excuse was that had something to do with No holds barred movie failure. Bad news said in last day in wwe he put his hands on mcmahon for lieing and patterson yell at him to get out.
@boneplayer032003 Bad News Brown should've gave both McMahon and Patterson ghetto-blasters for that kind of crap. I would've done the same thing too if I was screwed out of the contendership for a WWF title. I'd have the last laugh.
Bad news Brown was great on the Mic!! This is what the WWE is missing today. Good promos and storyline. If they cut the shock value crap and stick to good story line like this,maybe they would still be good
this video is what brought oput the african american thing of discrimination in wwf and still going on in wwe with son vince mcmahon now. no true african american main champion unlessyou count booker t
I love Bad News Brown, and I miss wrestling when it was like this. Wrestling was so much better to watch those days. Bad News Brown was a true badass!
"Absolutely Nothing" - exactly all he could do when attacked by Bad News Brown.
That incompetent boob Jack Tunney ( and obviously racist too, wouldn't give a black man a match for the World title ) couldn't operate a hot dog stand. His mind was going too, suspending Marty Janetty for bleeding after Shawn Michaels threw him through a window and suspending Bam Bam for getting wet after Doink threw water on him. He should have been fired!
@edwardowade I agree stone cold copied bad news brown, if you look at it steve austin nickname stone cold, bad news, the shaved head, the black tights the mean attitude and a lot of other things, in wrestling its always good to be original, bad news was original, its sad that vince did do much with bad news even though he should have, Bad news persona beats any of todays stars
@edwardowade - really?!? Aside from the bald head and black drunks I don't see too many similarities. I was a fan of Bad News Brown but Vince is as racist as they come and I knew back then he would never elevate a black man to the top so why even bother rooting for him...To this day there has never been a full-blooded black WWE champ...oh sure he'll put the WHC strap on a buffoon like Booker T but never his coveted WWE title...
@JulesGunn During the Hulkamania peak, Hogan was just as black as Bad News. And significantly darker than Butch Reed. Yeah, he may have been blond and not exactly "natural" (Hogan, that is, but Reed too), but there's no denying the chromometer. Isn't it a bit racist to declare only people with recent African ancestors can become the first black champ? The WWF is based in the "land of opportunity", my friend!
@Inediblehulk - nice try, fella. it's racist when Vince makes a point to adorn watered-down half-ricans like the cRock with his precious WWE strap but not Junkyard Dog, Farooq, Bad News Brown, MVP, Mark Henry, etc...
So was Elizebeth pimped out by Macho man to do favors for the WWF president? When did he sell WWF to Vince McMahon and y did Vince change to WWE after he bought it and sell the WWF name to the animal people? Jack Tunney was a corrupt it made me mad as hell to know he slept w/ Elizebeth. It took a man of the cloth Brother Love to find out.
@mastawizdum Brown was a judokas before he was a pro wrestler. Bronze medal in the Olympics and was trained by Antonio Inoki in Japan. Legit tough guy,he was going to kick Andre the Giant's ass for calling hin the N word. Check out his work in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling.
you really think im not aware of that i got his shoot interview and i read his biography im just his wrestling ability isnt very good but i like his gimmick and the way he talked i do my research and grew up watchin him in the wwf in the late 80's so i should know
It is sad to say that when Jack passed away in January 2004 not a single employee from the WWE was present at his funeral in Toronto Canada he was indeed the best authority figure in the history of professional wrestling !!!!
This clip makes it clear why modern WWE is so shit. Why? Because 1- the Brother Love show was where big things happened and led to storylines being created and developed, 2- Bad News Brown was a superb heel who set the blueprint for Stone Cold, 3- Jack Tunney was a better "authority figure" than any "General Manager" or "Evil Heel Owner" or "Guest Host" since, and 4- "World Wrestling Federation" sounded a million times better than "World Wrestling Entertainment"
two letters PG, the Guest host thing is getting old, as far as teh GM thing, Steph, Bishoff, Regal and Teddy long were the only good ones, Vince running things worked because he did abuse his power, mostly when it involved Austin or anyone he was feuding with, the Vince, Austin storyline worked as well as it did, because so many people could relate to hating your boss and you wanting to give him the finger or punch them in the mouth, and get away with it.
If you don't trust your pro wrestlers to do a lot of their own promos without stupid scriptwriters, you cannnot get good and interesting storylines; actually in WWE today their are no storylines.
@DarthCipient While Bad News Brown's character was a blue print for Stone Cold - so was Big Daddy Cool Diesel - BEFORE his face turn. He was mean, nasty & intimidating - came out w/ the black leather vest, the smashing of the glass during his intro - & fans grew to respect how he dominated/beat up opponents (1994 Royal Rumble & Survivor Series). Then after being WWF Champ he changed from mean to nice & did the corporate image that Vince alluded to early in the Austin anti-hero champ storyline
Steve Austin's gimmick mirrors Bad News in so many ways... am I the only one who noticed that? I guess if Stone Cold were still around, he'd be heel in this PG era of WWE, since attacking officials is supposed to be taboo again.
I noticed that a few years ago yes. I'm glad someone else agrees. Bad News was the heel pre version of Stone Cold. Like Stone Cold, Bad News was a lone Wolf, defied authority, but then, most if not all, heels did, also the shaven head to give a menacing look. They mirrored each other in many ways.
According to bret harts second book.. Bad news brown was like this in real life. He would talk like this to waitresses, hotel staff, and even challenged Andre the giant to a real life fist fight for using the word nigger. Andre wouldnt fight him. He was also a bronze medalist in judo and was a real life tuff dude.
Austin/Vince stole this from BNB. Austin seems like a BNB rip off and BNB beating up the so called boss at that time. Vince just recycled this in the attitude era.
All the Attitude era was was recycled crap, only they made it more "controversial." Let's not forget the scantily clad, middle-aged plastic broads (Sable) they showcased. This era of WWF was the best as it was all wrestling, none of this crap they have now.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This was 1992 during Macho's second title reign not 1988. I am glad Bad News attacked that waste of space gimmick president Tunney. McMahon should have took this role since the late 70s since EVERYONE before 97' knew he was the WWF owner.
I confirm this as well. Bad News Brown was not with the WWF in 92. And let the record show also, Vader was not the first WWE to attack a WWE president as many claimed. Bad News Brown was!
@crowbar2009 Thank you for clearing that up! lol. Bad News was NOT in fact in the WWF by 1992 because I believe he either left on his own or was fired, correct?
@Indo77 Yea this is without a dout 1988. I remember this. This started the whole Liz is a slut story. Savage's stor line would soon switch to the twin towers after this.
Thats right Bad News Brown was one of the coolest heels that ever existed. I still remember his feuds with Roddy Piper and Brett Hart. He is also one of the most slept on former superstars ever. Vince should put him in the hall of fame.
Jack Tunney was such a tool. What a windbag; I'm glad Bad News gave him what he deserved. Good for you, Bad News. If he wasn't giving you a title shot, put him in his place!
And the following week Bad News calls out Macho man and says the same thing that Elizabeth is doing favors for Tunney. Savage jumps Bad news and there is a brawl until the bolsheviks, rockers, danny davis, etc. come out to break it up...
Yes they did House Show matches against each other. Remember this was before 12 ppv's a year. in fact at this time the Royal Rumble was a month a way from it's first ppv.
Was this meant to set up a match between Savage and Brown? I never saw a tv/payperview between them. Savage defended the belt against Andre, Dibiase,Akheem, and Bigbossman but i don't recall a match with Brown. Did any match or futher angle resulted from this?
They had a million matches on House Shows for the WWF title, including a match where Bad News pulled the barricades around the ringside area and attacked Savage with it. Bad News says that Savage didn't like Bad News "badmouthing" Elizabeth, so he shot on Bad News in the match. Big mistake. There was a match between Bad News and Savage that was shown on MSG Classic, where Bad News actually brought a garbage can to the ring.
@88KAMALA I remember watching a street fight between them on videotape where Bad News brought in a table and propped it up against the turnbuckles. The ref ended up driven into the table when he got caught standing in the way of Savage being Irish Whipped into the table, which ended up costing Brown the title. Maybe Public Enemy and the Dudley Boyz saw this and decided to establish a career based off that spot.
Dude listen closely! He says Elizabit ! He pronounces her name without the TH .This is what makes these interviews so comical,whether he did it on purpose or not! I miss this stuff!

@mastawizdum Brown was a judokas before he was a pro wrestler. Bronze medal in the Olympics and was trained by Antonio Inoki in Japan. Legit tough guy,he was going to kick Andre the Giant's ass for calling hin the N word. Check out his work in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling.

I remember watching this when I was 11 years old. That was cool. This was before the Steve Austin / Vince McMahon rivalry.

It is sad to say that when Jack passed away in January 2004 not a single employee from the WWE was present at his funeral in Toronto Canada he was indeed the best authority figure in the history of professional wrestling !!!!

@samiullahmir You're right.We as kids actually believed that Jack Tunney was the legitimate president of the WWF.

Damn, this is so much like Stone cold Steve Austin, I half expect the audience to yell "What" after everything Bad News Brown say's.
Or should I saw, Steve Austin is so much like Bad News Brown.

This clip makes it clear why modern WWE is so shit. Why? Because 1- the Brother Love show was where big things happened and led to storylines being created and developed, 2- Bad News Brown was a superb heel who set the blueprint for Stone Cold, 3- Jack Tunney was a better "authority figure" than any "General Manager" or "Evil Heel Owner" or "Guest Host" since, and 4- "World Wrestling Federation" sounded a million times better than "World Wrestling Entertainment"
DarthCipient 2 years ago 26
two letters PG, the Guest host thing is getting old, as far as teh GM thing, Steph, Bishoff, Regal and Teddy long were the only good ones, Vince running things worked because he did abuse his power, mostly when it involved Austin or anyone he was feuding with, the Vince, Austin storyline worked as well as it did, because so many people could relate to hating your boss and you wanting to give him the finger or punch them in the mouth, and get away with it.

If you don't trust your pro wrestlers to do a lot of their own promos without stupid scriptwriters, you cannnot get good and interesting storylines; actually in WWE today their are no storylines.

@DarthCipient While Bad News Brown's character was a blue print for Stone Cold - so was Big Daddy Cool Diesel - BEFORE his face turn. He was mean, nasty & intimidating - came out w/ the black leather vest, the smashing of the glass during his intro - & fans grew to respect how he dominated/beat up opponents (1994 Royal Rumble & Survivor Series). Then after being WWF Champ he changed from mean to nice & did the corporate image that Vince alluded to early in the Austin anti-hero champ storyline

Steve Austin's gimmick mirrors Bad News in so many ways... am I the only one who noticed that? I guess if Stone Cold were still around, he'd be heel in this PG era of WWE, since attacking officials is supposed to be taboo again.
rlouie05 2 years ago 5
I noticed that a few years ago yes. I'm glad someone else agrees. Bad News was the heel pre version of Stone Cold. Like Stone Cold, Bad News was a lone Wolf, defied authority, but then, most if not all, heels did, also the shaven head to give a menacing look. They mirrored each other in many ways.

According to bret harts second book.. Bad news brown was like this in real life. He would talk like this to waitresses, hotel staff, and even challenged Andre the giant to a real life fist fight for using the word nigger. Andre wouldnt fight him. He was also a bronze medalist in judo and was a real life tuff dude.

Austin/Vince stole this from BNB. Austin seems like a BNB rip off and BNB beating up the so called boss at that time. Vince just recycled this in the attitude era.

All the Attitude era was was recycled crap, only they made it more "controversial." Let's not forget the scantily clad, middle-aged plastic broads (Sable) they showcased. This era of WWF was the best as it was all wrestling, none of this crap they have now.

This was 1992 during Macho's second title reign not 1988. I am glad Bad News attacked that waste of space gimmick president Tunney. McMahon should have took this role since the late 70s since EVERYONE before 97' knew he was the WWF owner.

Was this meant to set up a match between Savage and Brown? I never saw a tv/payperview between them. Savage defended the belt against Andre, Dibiase,Akheem, and Bigbossman but i don't recall a match with Brown. Did any match or futher angle resulted from this?
88KAMALA 2 years ago
They had a million matches on House Shows for the WWF title, including a match where Bad News pulled the barricades around the ringside area and attacked Savage with it. Bad News says that Savage didn't like Bad News "badmouthing" Elizabeth, so he shot on Bad News in the match. Big mistake. There was a match between Bad News and Savage that was shown on MSG Classic, where Bad News actually brought a garbage can to the ring.

@88KAMALA I remember watching a street fight between them on videotape where Bad News brought in a table and propped it up against the turnbuckles. The ref ended up driven into the table when he got caught standing in the way of Savage being Irish Whipped into the table, which ended up costing Brown the title. Maybe Public Enemy and the Dudley Boyz saw this and decided to establish a career based off that spot.
