Bad News Brown Goes Attitude Era on Jack Tunney

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

This clip is from WWE’s official YouTube channel:



I always enjoyed Bad News and wish he got more than he did in the WWF. This is pretty much Austin/McMahon 10 years earlier, but given the zeitgeist of the time and all, Bad News was a clear heel. 10 years later Austin was doing the same kind of stuff with the volume turned up for massive face pops.

I wonder if Jack Tunney would be able to take a stunner better than Vince.

I prefer the segment with Magnum TA and Bob Geigel three years earlier.


Yeah Bad News Brown was misused in WWF. Not sure what they could do differently..a deep roster and only two titles and those were locked up in their own angles during this period of time.

Not much to give him really.

Bad News in later eras would have thrived.

In the Attitude Era you would have had an easy foil to Austin. I could see both being a tag team unwillingly and perhaps even a feud that played up on their similarities.

In Cena's era, he would have feuded with John and perhaps even Batista. I could see him where Mark Henry was in that time.

In today's era he would surely be up there as well.

In 1988, Bad News was written as a loner who had no loyalties and off camera he was difficult by most accounts.

Bad News Brown could have easily been the leader of NOD, or maybe they could have made him Faarooq's badass uncle or something. Bad News Asad.

Bad News was time traveling. He was Stone Cold and he knew about Hollywood Hogan. You can’t convince me that he didn’t have a time traveling boombox.

Bad News was in some respects, Stone Cold Steve Austin before Stone Cold Steve Austin.

We need an angle in AEW where it turns out Stokely Hathaway is secretly Bad New Brown's son.

Also I forgot how effective Pritchard was as an obnoxious heel manager

I would say he had a good run as he had a title program with Savage, had several matches with Hogan, and was always booked pretty strong. Cool character that was ahead of it's time and his promos were good. However he was well into his 40's, was broke down physically which limited his in ring work, apparently was difficult about doing jobs, and a lot of the faces didn't like working with him as he would eat them up and make them look bad. I think they did the most they could with him.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

He was truly ahead of his time. He could have thrived today, during the attitude era, or even mid 90s ECW

I’m sorry if this is a derail, but I always wish Daddy Magic used Bryce Remberg’s Chikara name for him - Bad News Matthews.

Remember when Barrett was Bad News Barrett?

Well I’m afraid I have some BAD NEWS…I ended up calling Bad News Barrett, Bad News Brown by mistake.

Oof. Brother Love feels like he’s from a minature Indy fed with that promo.

Lol at WrestlerMania.
