Leroy Brown Biography

Leroy Brown is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on November 30, 1950 in Savannah, Georgia, United States.

Daniels made his professional wrestling debut in 1977, adopting the ring name “Bad Bad” Leroy Brown, based on the Jim Croce song of the same name. In September, 1977 he took part in a tournament for the vacant NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship, his first major title opportunity, but he was eliminated in the early rounds. Next he traveled to Texas to work for Fritz Von Erich’s NWA Big Time Wrestling. On March 31, 1978 Brown and Killer Tim Brooks teamed up to defeat José Lothario and Al Madril to win the NWA Texas Tag Team Championship, Brown’s first championship. The reign only lasted a week before Brown and Lothario lost the championship to David and Kevin Von Erich.

By 1979 Leroy Brown began working in San Francisco for NWA Hollywood. Brown teamed up with Allen Coage and together they defeated Los Guerreros (Héctor and Mando Guerrero) to win the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship. They would later lose the belts to Mando Guerrero and Carlos Mata. Working for NWA Hollywood also allowed Brown to travel to Japan, touring with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). During the tour he challenged Seiji Sakaguchi for the NWF North American Heavyweight Championship in July 1979 but Sakaguchi retained the title by disqualification. In his book Animal, George Steele describes Brown’s problems in Japan, including how during a match a Japanese wrestler was trying to break a bottle over Brown’s head but had not prepared it properly and it took several hard blows to break the bottle. The following day several Japanese wrestlers would watch the tape of the match over and over again, laughing at Brown’s misfortune and pain. Back in San Francisco Brown defeated Chavo Guerrero to win the WWA Americas Heavyweight Championship, holding it for 50 days before losing it to Al Madril. In late 1979 Brown returned to the eastern coast, competing for Championship Wrestling from Florida. Initially he became involved in a feud with then NWA Florida Heavyweight Champion, Manny Fernandez facing him on several occasions during January. After that he moved on to facing Sweet Brown Sugar, whom he defeated to win the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship. He would later lose it to Dusty Rhodes on February 16, 1980 Jacksonville, Florida. By late 1980 Brown ended up working for Bill Watts’ Mid-South Wrestling, teaming with Ernie Ladd for most of his time in Mid-South. The two defeated Junkyard Dog and Terry Orndorff to win the Mid-South Tag Team Championship. They later trade the championship with Junkyard Dog and other partners such as Killer Karl Kox and Dick Murdoch.
