Bad News Brown Full Shoot Interview - Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper

Bad News Brown (aka Bad News Allen, Allen Coage) is one of the toughest pro wrestlers of all time. Bad News won a bronze medal for Judo in the 1976 Olympics before later emerging as a professional wrestler.
Before competing for Vince McMahon in WWF, Bad News Allen competed around the world in Japan, Canada and other countries.

From Inoki and New Japan to the Hart Family in Stampede, Allen Coage has seen it all. We go into the infamous match vs a half black body painted Roddy Piper at WrestleMania VI and more controversies throughout his WWF stay.
Allen travels through the back pages of his career and goes into vivid detail about everything, including how Cowboy Bob Orton was almost murdered in Japan. Plus, the story about Andre losing his bowels in the ring.
Bad News lives up to his gimmick as guys like Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes and Dr. D David Shultz are buried in a manner that is nothing less than shocking. You want Bret Hart, Dynamite Kid, and Davey Boy Smith stories from their development in Stampede to their rise in the WWE, you got em here!
This is a great look back at the “decade of decadence” as Bad News made his name in three historic promotions during this time. You’ll get all the dirt on New Japan, Stampede and the then-WWF. All of the icons of the ’80s are talked about on here, and Bad News doesnt hold back!
For fans of Stampede pro wrestling, and for fans of early New Japan, this shoot gives it all in telling stories. Hear about an incident between Bad News and the legendary Andre the Giant which almost resulted in legit fight over Andre’s dropping the “N” bomb.

This is how it's done. Prepared interviewer and an engaged storyteller shooting us straight. RIP Bad News

[@JohnHoffman-ws9cd]

A real down to earth dude!! RIP BAD NEWS!

[@jimdunn1216]

He was and I have a funny story about him !

[@jimdunn1216]

I lived right beside Allen as a little boy

[@KirkLee1983]

Have any of his merch from his wwf times?

[@neilyringworm]

The best rf shoot. I love how he starts off being reserved and slowly gets comfortable and his true personality comes out

[@ibanezprestigeboy]

It’s amazing how great he is. He really made you hate him as a heel in the wwf when in reality he’s actually an elegant gentleman.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

That’s how it is a lot of the time

[@pantangela]

Rest In Peace: Bad News! You left us far too soon..

Bad News Brown - Superb storyteller.

[@hymansahak181]

Bad News had one of the kindest hearts in the business. A real stand up guy anybody would love to have as a friend.

[@darrangodfrey1748]

One of the best shoot interviews I've ever seen. What a nice guy.

[@Coco-xw3wp]

I know ain't it sad that bad news is no longer here, and selfish evil guys like Hogan is still able to walk the earth!!

[@koguma.newyork1]

Outstanding how this man articulated the Japanese experience so well. It's crazy how much influence he had behind the scenes yet he got so little press. He did MMA too & I know he beat Sakuraba twice. I wish he would have detailed what it was like fighting kiyoshi tamura.

[@kilog1kg]

This may have been the best shoot that I've seen. Really good interview. Miss you "Bad News".

[@nept1974]

Bad News was a legend and he certainly knew what the Harts were really like.

[@gooniemarky]

Thank you so much for uploading the full interview,so intriguing and brilliant to listen to. So sad that bad news isn’t around anymore he would be such a hit at conventions,I could listen to him all day. As a kid I hated him but in my later years I have come to realise just how brilliant he was at portraying the character.

[@SedatKulafofski-eh5pc]

Bad News was a cool cat. An authentic life. He's missed.

[@mikei9986]

I use to like that move too. I practiced it until I could do it like him.

This is easily the greatest shoot interview I’ve ever seen,Brown is the real deal he doesn’t bite his tongue 👅 at all like most wrestlers do and I’ve learned more about the corrupted business from this interview than ever before,Rest in paradise Bad News Brown he was an amazing man

One of my 5 favorite RFVideo shoots I triple love rewatching & owned for years.

[@jmanultra]

Really enjoyed this interview! Growing up I knew of Bad News, but never saw much of him. Now I want to go and watch some of his matches.

[@dalegreening6476]

I loved this shoot and I can firmly believe he offered out Andre

[@ZBR_ProXP]

Maybe the best shoot of all time.

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Wow, I never knew he was an Olympic medalist. Super impressive.

[@gbody2617]

Impressive. I don't think being promoted to multiple belts should be allowed just from tournament competitions. I'm very confident I could compete in a white belt karate and beat everyone or even a Judo or boxing but that doesn't make me a high level martial artist or golden gloves. It just means I understand the martial part better than the artistic part of the style/s.

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

The Top American Judoka in HISTORY. What a MAN'S MAN!! 💪🏾💪🏾🏅🏅🥉🏆 Punked ANDRE THE F'n GIANT!!!!

[@teflon165]

Andre would have respected him for doing that also. Both great men.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

What was Andre doing saying that stuff? I thought he was close with Rocky Johnson in Hawaii. Maybe he was just drunk.

[@user-yh5yh5es4u]

I think this'll be favorite of mine and what an entertaining individual

[@Joshuaengels]

Such a great interview!

[@jayfitch748]

Great interview!

[@Danimal77]

This was recorded in 2005 and he sadly died in early 2007 at only 63.

[@vegavega140]

That means he was 61 when this was recordered. He looks like 40 years old here.

[@joeljohnson8214]

Bad News was a legit bad ass, but seems like he kept it in check for the most part. That WWE locker room around 1988-1990 was probably the most bad ass locker room in wrestling history. Bad News, Haku, Andre, Race, Barbarian, Dynamite Kid, Rick Rude, Hercules, Koko, and Jim Duggan. I probably missed a few guys, but damn id take these guys over the current locker room in a street fight any day.

[@kellismith4329]

He and Dynamite had some great rivalries here in Stampede wrestling years before they both graduated to wwf

[@Spooky_515]

Did Bad News ever fight anybody or just run his mouth like he was going? Usually guys like that aren’t half as bad as they think they are. I know karate lol

[@gbody2617]

There was never a WWE locker room in the years of 1988-1990! Get it right guy!

[@joeljohnson8214]

@@Spooky_515 he did earn a bronze medal in Judo at the 1976 Olympics. So I'd assume he could back it up. But you're right for the most part, most of the guys weren't trained in anything else but how to be a pro wrestler.

[@toxicculture4682]

thank you bad news!

[@Gino419]

Bad News would have been 80 years old now in 2024. R.I.P Bad News Brown.

[@sloanscott7302]

Never liked Bad News as a kid, but after you get older, learn it's a work see some of the shoot interviews, learn about these guys, you gain a new respect. Bad News was a national champion, Olympian, WWF superstar, great heel, should have been.pushed more

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Those Hart boys just could not stand the thought of losing in Canada could they. I think Owen gets a pass for a lot of his bad behavior because of what ultimately happened to him. Don’t get me wrong, I always liked him but he could be a spoiled little prick. Ask Steve Austin about him
