victory Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I don't see this team landing in my top 25. Just not enough top tier stuff. No fault of their own necessarily. I just don't think they were in the right place at the right time sort of thing. I like a couple of matches in the AWA. At least one against the Rockers and another against the Guerreros. I'll have to revisit a few like the handheld against RNR along with the Patera/Rheingans bout. Obviously the WWF Royal Rumble match is pretty famous. I like the quick pace of that one. Another I found recently was against LOD on a SNME. They don't get in a lot of offense, still they bump their asses off and make LOD look like a million bucks. I'll have to check out their cup of coffee in ECW when I get a chance. Promo wise they always had a manager from what I remember, so I will try not to hold their lack of talking against them.

goodhelmet Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Watching the AWA footage, I really wanted to like these guys more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 They were disappointing in the AWA. They were disappointing in ECW. There WWF run is not enough, no matter how great the Rockers match was and how cool Pat Tanaka is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khawk20 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 -Badd Company vs. the Rockers in Memphis (on the Rockers in Memphis comp) -Jarrett/Smothers/Travis vs. Badd Co./Carl Fergie (this is on the DVDVR set) -Badd Co. vs. The Bruise Brothers I have a listing for but not sure if it's Memphis or not I don't have the 1987 set but I'm sure there is more of them on it. I'm also not necessarily advocating that they make the list, I don't think the body of work is probably going to be there for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 When I've a bit more time I'll put up listings for their complete run in Memphis. Don't know how much it will add to their case but some interesting looking matches against the likes of the Nasty Boys, Jarrett & Dundee, Jarrett & Travis and Dundee & Rocky Johnson.

El-P Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 A fake-japanese überbumper and a solid mullethead. At their best as the Orient Express probably, putting Diamond under a mask was a good idea. Good team. But nothing special either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I think they're overrated because of the Rockers stuff, and while they were an uptempo team, I don't see them as a top-tier team. They were fun to watch, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Their tag match at the Royal Rumble with The Rockers was one of my biggest pleasant surprise matches when re-watching old PPVs when I first got the WWE Network. If that makes them overrated, so be it. That match is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 These guys were really a huge disappointment to me on the AWA set. I'd read for years about how "great" they were supposed to be and then I finally got to them at the end of the set and I felt really underwhelmed. It's not that they aren't good it's just they really aren't great and I actually thought their Royal Rumble match as The Orient Express was way better than anything I've seen from them as Badd Company. No chance at making my ballot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
