I sit here as a 51 year old man on September 10th 2022 at 10:50 p.m. I'm enjoying how believable wrestling was back then.. growing up in the part of Connecticut I grew up in I only seen these matches in mags how I wish I could have seen msw weekly
Sounds like him! All we need is The GREAT Ron Simmons lol! I grew up watching from about 1991, but I go back and watch other promotions too! First time I get to see this match, can’t wait!!
I was at this match! So many legends battled here in Houston during those days. Even Andre the Giant! My family of 8 were devoted attendees every Friday/Saturday night and we even sat around TV Sunday morning to watch the reruns w/Paul Bosche and those crazy commercials as well. IW Marks jewelry and even Mattress Mack w/zoo animals on the side of I45 tent!
I hated how WWF turned JYD into a dancing clown "Grab them Cakes!" He lost his Hero status once he left Mid South & never received a title shot for any single or tag team titles.
Hah I had a feeling that was you….I was sitting about 5 rows up from you, wasn’t sure if it was you or not so I didn’t come over but apparently it was you…go figure lol
A different world, brother. My CO flew the Stars and Bars out at Camp Wilson in 29 Palms back on 85. He was cool though. I didnt like the Klan, I did like the Duke of Hazzards.
because black masculinity is a mockery, what we are witnessing here is the basis of what gave us good entertainment...power, pride, strength, showmanship, dedication to distinctive characteristics....an Era I would erase everything afterwards to be able to go back to....
*I love the fact that there's no announced and the audio is fantastic as watching this great match feels like your in the crowd,another outstanding upload,many thanks!!!*
Damn Butch Reed was a beast in his day! JYD used to be in good shape but this was around the time before he went to WWE started getting flabby. But even this was better than what he was later in his career! Both men are still legends though! Rest in peace to both! 🙏🏿❤️
One of Butch Reed's best matches was the Summer of 1983 after the Mid-South Wresting Fan Vote who was going to be JYD's Partner & Hacksaw Jim Duggan was picked over Butch Reed. Just before Butch Reed turned heel he had a damn good match I can't even find on UA-cam. Butch Reed came to ring & said "There's a Controversy going on here! Why yaw picked that Hillbilly Duggan over me to partner with the Dog! I invite King Kong Bundy out in the ring!" Bundy stormed on the ring and Reed went to town on Bundy! That was a badass match with Reed getting on the top rope & doing a slingshot Shoulder Tackle so hard, Reed flattened Bundy and slingshot himself out the other side of the ring. Bundy came to and piledrived Reed winning the match. Butch Reed's next appearance after that is on UA-cam when he turned heel and argued with JYD & DiBiase hit Dog with that cast.
OMG! How Hacksaw Jim Duggan comes in to save the day, WOOOHOOO, hand in the air, 3 point stance and spear baby! JYD, And another one bites the dust. Taa da da toom toom doom, what yall know about that?!
If you ever knew real history and watched Mandingo you would see that history repeats itself in so many different ways.They use to make slaves fight but in the 20th century they are willing to put on a show that their ancestors died in custody performing real brutality.
I agree and understand the message but damn bro, it's pro wrasslin. All of the fuckery happens in the world of wrasslin. There has been more than 1 dog collar match in pro wrestling history too.
When Vince got a lot of these guys they were peaked already as far as Physical Condition nd Prowess .. Evident on how Muscular nd Fit Butch nd JYD were at this time. Same with Ron Simmons , L.O.D , Demolition Harley Race , Ron Garvin , Dino Bravo , Ken Patera , Ko Ko B. Ware. , Steamboat etc .. Steroids or not their physique Pre WWF were Greek Like. You could tell these guys were in the Gym heavy nd still had worked out coming from Football nd other high level sports. And JYD was so Over in hys Pre WWE days in Watts territory , Vince snatched him , He could have easily held The WWF title in Hulkmania's Era. Strap could barley fit around their necks with massive Traps nd shoulder's.
the days of the territories were superior to any other time. when boiled down to essentially the 2 party system of wcw and wwf, wrestling was finished.
Butch Reed had a Nice Body. Junk didn't Seem like 280Lbs? Met Junk Several times at the 24hr Golds Gym Arl off Camp Creek 90-92 Him & the Power plant trainer Sarg.
3 weeks before piper v greg valentine at "starrcade". atleast watts was TRYING to steal some if that one's thunder, although the number of people who saw this one live who also saw the "starrcade" one live is probably pretty low.
@Dion Mike well, yea. i know about the superdome match (august 2 i believe without looking). however, putting a dog collar match on 3 weeks.before the higher profile one at "starrcade" (and after the stip for that one was announced) is just good ol' pro wrestling promoter tricks. as said, i don't know how many people in the uwf territory also had access to m-a's tv show in 1983, but watss wanting to undercut their dig collar match with one if his own 3 weeks earlier is just how the game was played then, and is played now. in the late 80s/early 90s, wwf would book shows in arenas the night before wcw would run in the same arena, then run super long (like after midnight) so that the wcw crew would have as little time as possible to set up for their show (lights, pyro, chairs, etc.). promoters will be promoters.
Allot of those pro black wrestlers were well built back then Butch Reed, Ron Simons, Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson, and there was one more I can't remember his name.....
Great era, before the match even starts they are working the crowd into a frenzy. Back when fans were fans and didn't know every single detail of what happens backstage and didn't sit there acting like a critic that knows everything about wrestling critiquing the matches. The crowds got into the matches and the wrestlers instead of memes and marking out for themselves.
As a black man I must say its a lot of sensitive black people in this comment thread. Of course the specialty match for someone named Junkyard Dog would be a dog collar chain match. He had this match with plenty of white wrestlers before Reed. This was one of if not the hottest fued at the time and anybody who was watching Mid-South at the time knew that eventually they would have a dog collar match. You young folks are too sensitive!
The Junkyard Dog was always a super fan favorite wrestler like no other, P.S. Never face the Junkyard Dog in Dog Collar matches, he never loses at all!!
Jyd was my favorite wrestler wrestling back then was great compared today even though its fake to me it was more real than what we got today wrestlers couldn't put their jock straps on old school wrestling the best rip jyd and hacked saw butch reed a great heal and love hacksaw jim duggan the best
Dogg entered the Ring with the Collar on who checked it to see if it were legal loaded etc ? then he tossed it across the ring to Butch ... Butch knew and kicked over to Dog Butch was jacked up ..
MAN!……..😂😂😂😢……Same thing with Kamala…..Made him an African animal, that could hardly speak or take direction…..They played up the stereotypes of everyone
Wow awesome thanks I was a small child and remember watching junk yard dog every week with my Papa RIP Papa and his favorite wrestler JYD!
I met Tony Atlas in 1987 at a 7/11 in Oklahoma. He was MASSIVE. I remember his hands were the size of a football. Those men were giants.
come to fight we proved u
@@fromlefttoright130I also met Tony atlas at Hershey park in the 80s he was the biggest man I saw in my life at that time and maybe till this day
Those are two greats we will never see again. Rest in Peace boys. Great memories, And much respect!

Butch Died Earlier this year. I know it surprised me too.
Shit was wild! It's to bad you don't see crowds like this anymore.
You will be surprise.
Because people these days go to events to look at their phones! they didn't have phones to distract them back then
Mawww
Physique of good old wrestlers is nothing compared with today’s wrestlers! 💪
They are all NATURAL.

Were Roddy Piper vs Greg Valentine recreating slave matches? They did basically the same match in 1983. Idk you may be reaching here

There has been more than 1 dog collar match in pro wrestling history too.
Reminds me of the scene in Django !!!
This was a great feud!!!!!
When Vince got a lot of these guys they were peaked already as far as Physical Condition nd Prowess ..
Evident on how Muscular nd Fit Butch nd JYD were at this time.
Same with Ron Simmons , L.O.D , Demolition Harley Race , Ron Garvin , Dino Bravo , Ken Patera , Ko Ko B. Ware. , Steamboat etc ..
Steroids or not their physique Pre WWF were Greek Like.
You could tell these guys were in the Gym heavy nd still had worked out coming from Football nd other high level sports.
And JYD was so Over in hys Pre WWE days in Watts territory , Vince snatched him , He could have easily held The WWF title in Hulkmania's Era.
Strap could barley fit around their necks with massive Traps nd shoulder's.
That was great time... real wrestling...
Still The Greatest Rivalry of All Time to me!
Look at these guys built and nowdays we have to see the mizz and Jay usos damn these guys were insane with huge body .
5:14 😁😁😁 just great lol
Butch Reed and s highly underrated. He put on great matches in the UWF until his knee surgeries happened. Respect to him.
Two of the Greats. RIP Butch Reed and Big Br!uh JYD. GROOVE PHI!!!🤟🏼
great flashback u think u can get 1st meeting snuka vs backlund msg when backlund is carried out on a stretcher
the days of the territories were superior to any other time. when boiled down to essentially the 2 party system of wcw and wwf, wrestling was finished.
Reed was a great heel
Damn,I didn’t know Tito Santana was a referee in Mid South!
Houston Wrestling not Mid South.
The match took place one month in 12 days before I was born
wrestling was so awesome back in the day, 1983 was peak America I think
Yea maybe if you were ⚪️it was peak😂

They were real wrestlers And real combat
3 weeks before piper v greg valentine at "starrcade". atleast watts was TRYING to steal some if that one's thunder, although the number of people who saw this one live who also saw the "starrcade" one live is probably pretty low.
Watts invented the dog collar match in 1980 JYD vs Michael Hayes sold out the Superdome set a record.
@Dion Mike well, yea. i know about the superdome match (august 2 i believe without looking). however, putting a dog collar match on 3 weeks.before the higher profile one at "starrcade" (and after the stip for that one was announced) is just good ol' pro wrestling promoter tricks. as said, i don't know how many people in the uwf territory also had access to m-a's tv show in 1983, but watss wanting to undercut their dig collar match with one if his own 3 weeks earlier is just how the game was played then, and is played now. in the late 80s/early 90s, wwf would book shows in arenas the night before wcw would run in the same arena, then run super long (like after midnight) so that the wcw crew would have as little time as possible to set up for their show (lights, pyro, chairs, etc.). promoters will be promoters.
What crazy stuff is this?
10:04 - Reed searches for his blade in his wrist strapping!
Slicey slicey slicey
So, the chain wasn't good enough to bust him open? Was it a gimmicked chain?
@@HWolfeIII why beat yourself with a chain, when can just slice your forehead a bit.
Great match but look how it really was back then. True story.
Reed definitely has one of the best physiques that's ever stepped into a wrestling ring ....... 💯 Percent STUD....

JYD would have been so good on a Podcast. R.I.P. 🙏
Facebook says this was July 29th and this says Nov 3rd 🤔
Pure fact BUTCH on the cartoon Heathcliff was based on these two wrestlers. Butch the Junk Yard Dog
Why did JYD and Kamala have the chain around their neck but Dusty and Ted had it around their wrist?
hmmmm
Supposedly the "Dog Collar" match was JYD's specialty and the "Texas Bullrope" match was Dusty Rhodes' specialty.
Wow, Butch Reed was SWOLE!
When exactly did this take place ? 83-4?
Great era, before the match even starts they are working the crowd into a frenzy.

Reed getting some color!
JYD getting fat flabby just before he went to WWF. MidSouth he was a stud!
How many years to get red ring shoes like physique
Who's the guy attacking JYD at the end? Volkoff?
Jim the Anvil Neidhart
i dont know how to feel about this one, and i like bloody death match style wrestling....
