One of the best tag team wrestlers of the 80's. Bad Company was not only criminally underrated but worked like a team you would see today in New Japan, ROH or PWG. Orient Express/Rockers from Royal Rumble 91 is one of the 5 best tag matches of the 90's.
i trained with Pat in Jersey in 2000. Really nice guy he was gonna get me a tryout in ECW. But even Pat didn't know it was folding. If you see this Pat; I was one of Tommy Thunders boys in South Jersey. You beat the hell out of me. Fond memories.
No. I'm getting back in shape. I was falling off ladders and getting smacked with chairs for no money back in the early 00s. I grew up in the same town as Droz us south jersey wrestling fans wanted to do that extreme style. Got hurt gained lotta weight. Lost most of it. I'm trying to be like DDP; a jersey boy getting back in at 35. I'll be 35 next year. So if RF wants to do a series on that I'd do it. I live in Northern Delaware now!
What a awesome experience you had. Dang you must've been only 18 years old in 2001, I was 20 years old in 2001, I'm 37 now. You started very young. I miss those days.
Badd company and destruction crew were 2 of the most dominating tag teams in the AWA in the final years then both team came to WWF and became stereotype tag teams. Orient express and Beverly brothers.
The Midnight Rockers vs. Badd Company was the AWA's version of the RnR Express vs. The Midnight Express! Badd Company was the next heel team I saw after the Midnights who mixed the new age exciting babyface teamwork WITH heel tactics. Plus like the Midnights (Lane-Eaton version), they had the cool ring gear and cool theme music. And even had a great heel mouthpiece in DDP to go with it. It's a shame AWA wasn't in better shape when they were there. They had some young gems like Hennig ,the Rockers, Badd Company, Madusa, Nasty Boys, Paul E, and DDP there in the late 80's at some point. It's a shame Badd Company didn't get their just due on the big stage like the others. I would have rather seen them as Badd Company in the WWF than the Orient Express! And on a side note, Tanaka meant to say Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell, The High Flyers! Not Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell The Killer Bees!
At least let him finish a sentence! I know you want to sell videos but the ay this mess is so cut up, I don’t even want to watch it for free on RUclips much less take a chance on buying something that might be a let down! Hire some marketing people! This is the second and last RF I’ll try to watch. Good luck!
After Sato left, they should have teamed him up with Diamond as Bad Company instead. The Orient Express gimmick had a limited shelf life as is, and these guys were both very good wrestlers.

Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond. The Orient Express led by Mr. Fuji. Those were the good ol' days of pro wrestling
they were Way better as Badd Company
Love Pat. I love those lightning fast back bumps he took.
That royal rumble 91 match vs the rockers was fantastic
so was the match with New Foundation in 92
Now that match was a clinic. Exciting, entertaining, great psychology and a great finish. The rocket and the rocket launcher!
Very Underrated...
Pat Tanaka & Paul Diamond are one of my favorite teams.
They had some great matches.
same here
Heard nothing but great things about Pat, seems like such a cool guy. Very underrated bumper/worker.
