[Ratt2004]

Bad News Allen/Brown one of the best r.i.p.

[iconoclasm12345]

ahhh gotta love 80s tag teams. they just dont make tag teams anymore. demolition, hart foundation, legion of doom, the bulldogs, i loved money inc as well, i mean everyone hates on tax collectors and corrupt millionaires, good wrestlers too. iirc dibiase tried to buy the wwf championship lol.

no i didnt really like the powers of pain, mostly just brawlers.

[cuso13]

Bad News Brown: "You spineless....two-legged.....ra­t.."

You tell em, Bad News.

[sickandtiredofmorons]

Bad News was not choking Tunney. Tunney was choking himself. Tunney sucked at doing gimmicks.

[brnleague99]

[ColorsBright]

Macho Man finally wins the belt... and STILL Hogan has to involved with the title.... geeeeezzzzzz Hogan is a nutjob

[TheMrSnakeRJX]

Bad News Brown, the original stone cold

[ChaffyGlitz]

@TheMrSnakeRJX u danm right!!!

[GialloHorror]

Mr. Fuji = LEGEND!!

[GialloHorror]

Brother Love sounds like Paul Bearer

[serote1979]

bad news Brown was an Olympic Judoka and wona bronze meal at the 76 Olympics. Allen Coage was his real name.

[THEOUTLAW78]

WHAT EVER HAPPEN TO JACK TUNNY?.. I 4GOT..

[Holden308]

Love how Bad News made reference to both himself and Tunney being Canadian by saying how he didn't care if Tunney was Queen Elizabeth II (Queen of England & the British Empire) hehehe.

[ianhitman]

Stone Cold News Brown

[McMahonHater]

Brown and Savage had a great fued.

[SheriffTankStoner]

One thing I don't get. Why the f*ck did Hogan grab the belt and present it to Savage. I thought Robin Leach was supposed to have done that.

[ColorsBright]

@SheriffTankStoner cause Hogan has to have his hands on that belt atleast once a day... Hes a freak.

[SheriffTankStoner]

@ColorsBright This has to be the one time I feel bad for Vince because it turned out Robin Leach got paid for nothing because of Hogan.

[sukebechan36]

Tunney vs Bad News would have been money!!!

[XxowendanxX]

Bad News Brown was the original Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[dsd310580]

No, that was Dr. D. David Schultz.

[dsd310580]

Bad News was defo a Stone Cold inbetween, though.

[cbaldwinjr]

Should've just kept the Powers of Pain as faces and Demoliton has monster heel tag champs.

[videoaddict100]

OMG! Brother Love was so annoying

[SheriffTankStoner]

And he looks just like a woman I work with.

[TrueTalkTV]

Extremely. At least HERE, anyway. He wasn't so bad as time went ON, but when he first started out, when Bobby Heenan brought him in, he was terrible.

I actually didn't start watching until 88, and only remembered Brother Love from 89, so I didn't realize how annoying he WAS, until I saw his debut thanks to WWE Classics onDemand.

[jldraw]

According to Graham Cawthon's "History Of The WWE" - there were actually a few matches after Savage's heel turn when Macho fought BNB with News actually being the babyface...

WWF @ Toledo, OH - February 5, 1989 (9,900; sell out)

WWF World Champion Randy Savage pinned Bad News Brown

Savage played the heel and Bad News was the babyface for the bout

[Dunamisdude]

I was at an event in Seattle just after Savage's heel turn and Savage was super over as a babyface. Bad News was still the heel. Probably because we all enjoyed him turning on Hogan. I was 10 and I marked out for Savage at the time. He beat Bad News of course in a Street fight that night.

[TrueTalkTV]

Hold up. Savage actually fought Bad News AFTER his (Savage's) heel turn? I didn't know that! Are you SURE it was after he turned on Hogan? POSITIVE? I love heel vs. heel matches, so I'm intrigued!

[Dunamisdude]

Oh yeah, It was a couple weeks after the heel turn. And Savage got the biggest pop of the night. It was great!!

[TrueTalkTV]

lol @ News being the face. Now THAT is tough to imagine, lol

[johnissoevil]

The double turn by Demolition and the Powers of Pain was probably one of the best double turns ever done. Only the Hart-Austin double turn at WM 13 tops this.

[JSNWWFv2]

lol at 2:11

[jlward]

Hooooly crap. 1988 was when I started watching wrestling. This brings back SO many memories! :)

[DaManEX1983]

Bad News Brown would've made a good champion. Just imagine the promos.

[TitusVentura]

Bad news would of been hella over as heel champion

[johnissoevil]

I agree. It's too bad they had to turn Macho heel about a month later and throw him into a feud with Hogan. We were robbed of a damn good blockbuster feud between Savage and Brown.

[dsd310580]

True but Hogan and Savage had and still have 1 of the biggest feuds in Wrestling history.

[TrueTalkTV]

@johnissoevil, I agree. Question though. What ended up happening on TV with Bad News, once Savage turned heel? Did they just COMPLETELY drop it, with no explanation, or did BNB make some sort of remark in an interview or what? I was only 9 at the time, so I don't really remember. I just remember the Savage turn, but I don't recall anything else happening (on television) with him and Bad News once he turned on Hogan.

[johnissoevil]

@TrueTalkTV They just dropped it. They put Bad News into another feud, but I forget with whom, probably Duggan.

[JPThunder01]

You've gotta be kidding..

[foreverhulkamania]

demolition would wipe the mat with any of the tag teams of today. PERIOD!!!

[mainsqueeze1977]

what tag teams? today?

[ESSJ333]

@foreverhulkamania if only they were in todays era they are my best tag team of all time

[gjnice21]

@foreverhulkamania

u mean washed up axe from the super machines and repoman they were so overrated.. the best tag teams of the 80s was 1 hart foundation(bret better than any1 ever) 2 british bulldogs 3 i can keep going i think personally that rockers powers of pains and twin towers were all better than demolition. todays wrestling sucks that why yur saying that but demolition sure wasnt the best tagteam then

[romans52345]

@foreverhulkamania What tag teams?

[foreverhulkamania]

wrestlemania iv... another seminal moment!

[MisterMoop]

Nice post Vicious Vince.... good stuff.
