Other Facts: -Not to be confused with the adult film actor of the same name
-Real name was Robert Bradley James
-Son of pro wrestler "Bullet" Bob Armstrong
-Brother of pro wrestlers Scott Armstrong, Steve Armstrong, & B.G. James (AKA "Road Dogg" Jesse James)
-Uncle of pro wrestlers Steve Armstrong, Jr. and Kayla Armstrong
-Won his debut match against Jerry Brown in Montgomery, AL. Another wrestler didn't show up and Brad, who had brought his gear, was asked to take his place.
-Competed under a mask while in NWA and WCW as a myriad of wrestlers including Arachnaman, Fantasia, Badstreet, and 1/2 of the masked tag team Dos Hombres.
-As Arachnaman, he was announced as hail8ng from Webb City, MO. His gimmick shot webs from the wrist but was a purple and yellow suit. Marvel Comics still felt it was too close to Spiderman and sent WCW a cease and desist letter. When he donned the mask as Fantasia, WCW received a cease and desist from Walt Disney Studios because they owned the copyright to Fantasia, the title of an animated movie from 1940. The name was changed to Badstreet. As Fantasia or Badstreet, he was a member of The Freebirds.
-As Buzzkill in WCW, he emulated his younger brother Brian who was competing in WWF as "Road Dogg" Jesse James. The creative writer who helped create the "Road Dogg" character was Vince Russo, who had left WWF for WCW and basically recreated the gimmick as Buzzkill and gave it to Brad thinking the brothers were similar enough.
-Joined the ECW broadcast team for a couple of shows in 2007, then was moved to the Deep South Wrestling broadcast team.
-Is the only Armstrong brother never to compete at Madison Square Garden
-Former member of the No Limit Soldiers. When he was a member, he was known as B. A.
-Holds the record as the longest reigning UWF Tag Team Champion (w/ Tim Horner)
-Voted Rookie of the Year by the readers of Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 1982
