Bad News Allen still entertains me after death. So funny, well spoken, and genuine. R.I.P. big guy. Thanks.
Same
Yup, I loved his shoot interviews. He was a no BS type of guy who shot from the hip. I read where he's predeceased by a 24 year old daughter who tragically passed years before from a drug overdose😒 It's saddening. R.I.P. Mr. Allen Coage....bka Bad News Allen / Brown
He's dead?
@@jameswarren2653 Yes, Mr. Warren, he passed back in March, 2007 of an apparent heart attack at aged 64. He and his wife were living in Alberta, Canada when it occurred, I think??. He'd been a Canadian resident for decades
@@jameswarren2653 I didn't know myself until a few years ago when I saw an interview with him from 2005 and it mentioned Bad News passed away a few years afterward😕
He'll always be Bad News Allen to me.
Bad News seems very laid back and easy going. You'd never know how dangerous of a man he was from these interviews.
I absolutely love all of Allen's interview. Only after watching this interview did I comprehend how good he was. In the ring he was Bad News Brown. And he was a scary dude. In his interviews, he's Allen.
a smart, articulate man who clearly would have been a success at whatever he chose to do in life
Seems like he was a really good guy. Great great character as well. I never would’ve believed the Bad News Brown I watched on TV those many years ago was this guy. Nothing but respect
Do you like Toyota Tacomas?
I saw Allen win a Bronze medal in Montreal in 1976 in Judo.
No you didn’t
Yes he did ice women
Bad News Brown was a humble man.
Yes RIP to the legend
BAD News was a legit Badass. He was a Black Belt Judoka and he took ZERO CRAP from everyone. I like his intelligent analysis of the business. He was VERY accurate about the whole thing because he DIDN'T care about "fake title belts" BUT he cared about making money!
He doesn't discuss belts or money in this clip
@@joes2828 NOT TRUE, FIGHT A BJJ TRAINED PERSON IN A STREET FIGHT...
Title = mo' money

@@joes2828 I agree... Knowing how to fight doesn't help u in a fight at all 🙄
I’m not a big wrestling fan, but I love watching Bad News anytime he shows up...GREAT story teller!
You can tell by watching his interviews that Bad News Brown loved the business.
Another Heel that is so entertaining, funny, well-spoken and terrific story teller. RIP Bad News.
I’m really loving these Bad News interviews…RIP 🙏🏾
Bad News Brown was one of the best villains. R. I. P. Bad News Brown.
Bad News is the only person Classy Freddy Blasie did not call “a pencil-neck geek”
I wish more people would listen to BnB because he has such good advise for others. He is very true about facial expression in telling a story and BnB I’m sure trained very hard at that. He was a professional wrestler in every sense of the word so of course Japan respected him for his work and dedication. A Wrestler that is truly missed by Wrestlers, Promoters, and fans alike.
It took me a while to warm up to this guy. Now I wish he were still around.
Bad News seems like he was a _REAL , THROUGH AND THROUGH, SOLID GUY_ !!
i agree ...back in the day i could not stand him .... now that I'm older and wiser and understand the business a lot better i can truly appreciate him.
Allen James Coage Bad News Brown doesn't seem/ He is for REAL, TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL/
Loved bad news Browne. Awesome wrestler great heel. Deserves to be in the HOF. Rest In Peace Mr Allen.
Thank you for these uploads...these are terrific interviews with “Bad News Brown!”
Dickie sadly died at 49, but he spent his entire career as a 55 year old looking man
Why wasn’t his death sad to you?
I'll guess. Three letters, starts with KKK. His casket had a Trump sticker.
GR AWAKENDREAM fawk him
@@grimjack148 ignorant comment
Sure it was. Murdoch was fairly proud of who he was. He made no pretense of hiding his life.
I love his stories! I always meet a lot of wrestlers and am sad that I will never meet Bad News Brown! RIP!
back in the day when he was in WWF I didn't know his back story
he is an awesome personality
Bad News Brown reminds me of Wilt Chamberlain, voice wise, they even sound like theyre from the same place
Yes he does 🙀
And that's how you handle people like Murdoch,let him have his own feelings about people and politics as long as you do business and as long as you keep it to yourself.
Brown had me laughing so hard with his stories damn he is funny great stories
Dickie Murdoch was a tough SOB, but in a shoot fight - Bad News would leave him for dead. #RIPguys
I don't know there's plenty of Murdoch beating peoples asses. It'd be a good fight. I don't think Dickie registers pain. (not takin a damn thing away from BNB.)
Murdoch was good man member of KKK cool.
@@Batman-wv5ng Yeah just like Chris Benoit was great father and husband.
I've heard stories of Murdoch, he was a very deceptive legit bad-ass, a fierce bar-brawler who knew how to wrestle and knew how to fight and who wasn't all that concerned with pesky things like Rules, he'd kick you in the nuts, spit in your eye, stab you with a fork, and then he'd get nasty, and he was never hesitant when it came to getting color the hard way. He didn't look it but he was in solid shape and strong as a bull, and was known for his hard short jabs, he could knock people loopy from just an inch or two away. He liked to have fun in the ring but you did not want to see his bad side
I would put my money on the Judo black belt Olympic medalist in a fight.
For someone who hated Murdoch, he sure seems to remember him fondly.
Guess it's possible to dislike someone's beliefs, while still liking the person.
Yeah it sounds like Dickie still amused him.
Lolol😂😂 Hey, it happens everywhere in life and at work. Ppl sometimes like / dislike one another; but they may still recall each other fondly or respectfully
Not according to 2021
it's interesting how bad news starts off trying to be stern and condemning of murdoch. but you can see by his facial expressions his memories of him are essentially fond ones
Bad News was always a great interview.
Bad News & Dick Murdoch would've made a badass tag team. Many similarities with the two I hadn't realized until now. Seems like they like they got along well also regardless of their personal beliefs on issues.
@Smith Hart you mean the one he burned crosses with
@@brandonwalker3755 😂😂😂
@@brandonwalker3755
Not true
@Dorre Notyalc Who is yall?
People on the Klan love black people as long as they know thier place, lol. Seriously though his being in the Klan was messed up but he wasn't a nazi.
Bad News was a tremendous heel. I always enjoyed watching him perform. I can't help but admire his professionalism in the fact that he worked with Murdoch, even after he heard about him being in the KKK. Bad News could get it done in the ring and he was great on the mic.
Bad News Brown checked Dick Murdock's ass about his white supremacy
I miss Bad News Brown
Bad News is a great and entertaining interview.
I wish he did more of these before he passed away.
I know he also did a few interviews with Meltzer.
On video or just in print? Cuz I'd love to see more.
@@JayTheAdviceGuy
th-cam.com/video/zTCULPSjzag/w-d-xo.html
Here’s another bad news interview.
The meltzer interview I listened to was on TH-cam somewhere.It sounded like it was from Dave’s daily show he did on his website and bad news was co-hosting because dave would read a news item and he might get bad news to comment on it and every so often he would ask brown about Japan or Calgary or WWF.It wasn’t like a straight up interview.It sounded like bad news appeared on Dave’s show a lot by the way they spoke to each other.
No Dick Murdoch is not beating him in an actual fight. That is like saying he would beat a gold gloves boxer or black belt in actual martial arts.
Bad news is so real more than Tommy atlas he look no mess believe hit all the way he is so honesty in these interviews.
I loved how bad news would always eliminate himself from his own team during the Survival Series
this dude is clearly one of the more intelligent guys i've seen in wrestling. why was he not allowed to talk much in wwf?
His gimmick at least in WWE was to be a scary angry looking black man so he didn't really have to talk
Pretty self explanatory white man doesn't want to see a educated black man speaking like them
I could watch Bad News tell stories all the time,wish he was still here.

BNB seemed like a good guy from the interview shoots.
My dream time apocalypse team (in their prime). Bad News Brown, Haku/Meng, Kenta Kobashi, and Stan Hansen.
I'm surprised Bad News didn't mention Stampede about how he developed his character
Dick Murdoch probably could care less what people thought of him, still was a tough wrestler though!
It's couldn't care less. Is English really that difficult for you. Let me guess, you're an American.
@@ngc-fo5te "Could care less," is commonly said in American English and other versions of English. Not wrong given the context.
I bet Freddie Blassie was "The Man" on those tours of Asia!
He had quite the taste in ladies and I bet he was great to go out drinking with!
Freddie was a genuine pop culture figure in Japan - FAMOUS - to every household from a match he had there in the 60s in which there was so much blood and "biting" that supposedly several TV viewers suffered heart attacks from watching the match. It was front page news across Japan and EVERYBODY knew who he was from then on whether they were wrestling fans or not.
Bad news is the baddest. Just tell him hello and he will tell you how tough he is. 😂
Bnb looks good here for 62 years old!
Correct, for a rib he sent Tony Atlas to a Klan rally
Bad news seems like he was such cool dude. Damn shame that's he's gone.
Dusty and Flair both said that Dick Murdoch could have been a big draw, but he never took the business seriously.
In and out of prison i can honestly ssy racists are some of the easiest pple to get along with. As long as they keep the hate to themselves they are great
You can tell he loved working in Japan and Asia in general because less racial politics. In Japan, color doesn't matter. Either you're Japanese or you're not.
This guy needs to be back in wrestling. Manage or Booking, BNB would be the man.
He passed away.
He has been gone since 2007.
Blassie knew this color is that lick. Love to hear the blassie digging the color stories haha yell
I haven’t seen Bad News Brown since his WWF run
He died in 2007, this is an older video
Wow bad news brown
This is another guy who oughta be in wwe hall of fame
I like this guy. He should have been a bigger star. The WWE run was the pivotal point of his career in opinion and I don't think he got a good enough push is probably the culprit or enough of one with all the other reasons he wasn't a bigger draw it is one of the main reasons I suspect he didn't go further in the business. Rest in peace Bad News Brown
BNB I's very entertaining in very outspoken in cool In a very good story teller
Dick murdoch was the one who gave the first dislike 😆
As a ghost I guess, he’s dead
3:40 Telling a story thru your face.
Who was the guy he was talking about at 1:27, the Taiwan Judo Champion?
Why does Murdoch look like bobby Heenan?
Bad News is a great guy who respects the bussiness and looks like he'll grow into an old man. I hate that has to be said like that but a lot of the boys didn't take care of themselves and didn't make it. Bad News is an awesome exception.
I guess you didn’t know he died in 2007...
😄 he died in 2007
Stop being cowards and stand on your racism. If you think less of other people that's quite okay. I get tired of your cowards hiding in the comments defending BS, stand up and grow a pair already. There's nothing worse than a coward who won't stand on what he believes.
Tony atlas was a klansman. But badnews set him straight.
All you bear belly, sheer croppers! Baha. #classicstuff
I have to say as a black man I love the comment section on here… people talk about him being articulate and a great guy…. So are you guys
I think to see how he wrestles and his character was so different to him as a person definitely shows how good he actually was.
A tough SOB too , I love the old wrestlers , tbh many if there where real tough men
A lot different to todays guys
Honestly Dick's Klan membership was a bit questionable, if he was a member he wasn't really hardcore about it, aside from being called Captain Redneck and occasionally carrying the Confederate flag (which was a lot less sensitive a subject in those days) he never to my knowledge brought it to work with him. According to Dusty Rhodes, his best friend and just about the blackest white man you could ever meet, the Klan thing was part of Dicks twisted sense of humor, he just thought taking some people to a rally and watching them freak out was hilarious
Dusty is white... The blackest white man means nothing and doesn't prove that Dick is free of being racist.
One thing about Dick he was whom he was upfront and to your face
One of my favourite Murdoch stories was him telling Jim Cornette that one time when he got drunk he woke up with 6 inches of snow on his chest. 😂😂😂😂
Still taking on those “beer bellied sharecroppers”
Did Brown ever work with Adrian Adonis?
I have heard that Murdock would have been champion, but he clowned around too much. Harley Race said he bar none had the best mic skills. Murdock's father was a wrestler and a promoter so he greaw up in the business.
I've heard the same story about why Murdoch was never champ.
Frankie Hill Murdoch was a star in Amarillo in the 40s and 50s.
The stuff about promoters not wanting Dick Murdoch back probably isn't true. He did his final match with New Japan in 1989 when he was 43 years old. Dick Murdoch was known for doing stupid physical comedy in his match which held back his career in the US. But physically he could "go". He was also often put in Japan in teams with guys who had a reputation for not getting along with other people like Adrian Adonis and Matt Borne.
yeah I was wondering about that.. the way he acts.... Japan would love him
@@mdhotstuff Did you not listen closely enough? He said it was a South Korean promoter running a tour of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Neither of those are in Japan or have Japanese audiences.
@@misterslatsPart of wrestling in New Japan in that era was wrestling all over Asia which Murdoch continued to do until his final match in Japan. Some dumbass local promoter in Taiwan or Hong Kong wasn't in a position to even say who was going to be on those tours.
misterslats I don't think reading and comprehension is apart of their strong suits.
Freddie Blassie told Bad News Brown you don’t appreciate that color and I should have it. That sounds curiously weird.
Wow he throws the guy under the bus with claims he was in the kkk and then tells a story and it seems like they were friends
Jim Ross and others maintain that Murdock was in the KKK. From what Ross said, Murdock loved to show his membership card.
@@thomasswafford250 I suspect he joined to cause trouble and mischief, rather than malice.
Ricky, Murdock was a racist. Too much evidence. If he just wanted to party and cause mischief, he wouldn't be advertising being in the Kkk or shoot on Rocky Johnson in the ring and get himself knocked out.
There is a well known story in Japan
He made a stinky gesture to Abdullah the Butcher and said 'skunk'
Taking pity on him, Giant Baba prepared another waiting room for Butcher and he really appreciates it.
Murdock was a not good guy, But according to Giant Baba, he was a guy he couldn't hate for some reason.
I believe Murdock Worked multiple times in Japan. I've been suspecting lately the Bad News likes to exaggerate abit more than the average wrestler.
The Chief Jay Strongbow gimmick was SO insulting. SAD. Dude was Italian?
WOW!
So was Iron Eyes Cody from the littering PSAs.
Why is insulting...it's acting...so an Italian can't play an Indian...they are playing a character
Lou Albano used to call him Chief Wapaho.
@@mkrock9402 Because even if it's an act, there are actual 1st Nation Native actors out there, who could do that gig. Not to mention, America has a tradition of dragging the images, stories and cultures of 1st Nation tribes through the mud like they weren't civilized and good people. Lastly, from what I remember, a lot of people in wrestling hated Jay Strongbow. With a passion! Chief Wahoo McDaniel was an actual Native and a badass, while Strongbow was a bad actor in redface and a cheap knock off of Wahoo and others.
@@Lunacyk if they cant do it better. It doesnt matter. Wrestling is acting. The most talented make it.
Think every or most wrestling fans know Dick Murdoch was either racist or supposedly apart of the KKK. Heard about the time he tried to get Dusty Rhodes to join the KKK at some secret meeting somewhere's because they were long time tag team partners. Dusty abandoned the car trip going there, and broke up the tag team with him pretty soon afterwards! Most Dick Murdock stories i've heard online are generally at his own expense and yes he was kinda crazy we've heard. Want a laugh at one of them? Simply look at Murdock's entrance into the 1995 Royal Rumble of the WWF (the first one Shawn Michaels won) when he enters Murdock hits everyone in the back one by one going around the ring. And all the wrestlers no-sold his hits? What else is there to say really!
The Dusty Rhodes story may or may not have happened. But the team with Murdoch broke up because Eddie Graham decided to give Dusty a big solo push as a babyface around the mid-1970s. Dusty got picked for the big solo push at the time over Murdoch because of Murdoch's clowning around in the ring.
Yes it's 2020 and everything white is racist
According to Dusty Murdoch was never a real Klansman, if he was racist he never showed it in the ring as he was always willing to work with JYD, Ernie Ladd, Abdullah, and Bad News. Dick had a twisted sense of humor and a dedication to kayfabe only the real old-timers possessed, the humor especially was what generally screwed him over, he never knew when to turn it off. The Klan thing was part of that humor, he just never got that others didn't find it funny. Dusty also mentioned why he and Dick broke up, pretty much the same reason Shawn Michaels split with Marty Jannetty, Dick had all the talent to be World Champ but he had no professional ambition, all he wanted was to goof around, have fun in the ring, and drink beer. One day Dusty realized he wanted more and as much as he considered Dick his twin brother from another mother he wasn't going to get it continuing with the Outlaws.
That’s the first I’ve heard of Murdoch possibly kayfabing the boys on a klan membership but it would fit in with his sense of humor. I’d like to think that was the case, too. He marched to the beat of his own drummer that’s one thing sure.
I dunno man. News seemed like decent guy. But he was also pretty bitter about a lot of people. And he certainly seemed convinced that a lot of dudes were "racist", when it's pretty well established many of them definitely weren't.
That's why I never knew what to make of him. He was always fun in shoot interviews and clearly an intelligent guy who understood the business he was in as well as anyone, but he seemed to have problems with a LOT of people.
"Pretty well established," as if you know these people personally 😂
Murdoch was somewhat okay. Not as great of a worker as people make him out to be and before people compare him to bad news bad news wasn't a great worker at all but he was legit scary.
Only way ur gonna get the truth about which wrestlers were racists is if u ask a black wrestler
First
Wasn't Dick Murdock dating Dark Journey (Lucky bastard). Sounds like Bad News was responding to reputation not to actions.
Strom Thurmond was a proud segregationist and he slept around with Black women. That doesn't mean either guy wasn't a racist. They're walking contradictions.
@Ptolemy Jones - it wasn’t Dick Murdoch, but Dick Slater, who dated Dark Journey.

@@douglaspaterson5269 You're a joke. You say this when you have a black culture that sexualizes itself putting a myth out there that they have BBCs (they don't - science has shown that & anyone working in the medical field can tell you as we see thousands of undressed people every week). Also you have interracial gang bangs where it's always the black man exploiting the white woman.
You got it backwards as bad as you could possibly screw up. Time for some education!
So he “ hated” Murdoch but Murdoch never caused him an issues and he laughs about their matches hmmmmm interesting .
Murdoch was the best. Bad news was a watermelon tester.
2 types of people in this world ones you can enjoy and ones who you avoid. Color, sex,age, is irrelevant .
Thrust Johnson after the Republicans
Bad News sure was a Mark for himself.😂
You must be related to Dick Murdoch.
Comes across as totally down to earth to me
@@marmcd2003 😹
Bad News trying to sound like a badass. He was, but he would have never tried to pull a tough guy attitude with Murdoch. Murdoch would have beat his ass.
Bad news was a great wrestler and legit badass, but when he had ANY issue with ANYONE, he was the first to QUICKLY pull the race card on anyone, anytime, whether it was true or not... My only problem with him
Calling out a klansman, the race card. Kens and karens ha ha
Tony Atlas said that Bad News was a racist. So it's funny hearing him call about everyone a racist.
