Hacksaw is built solid as a rock. Looks like he was chiseled out of stone. I wish i could find some matches from when Hacksaw and JYD were tagteam partners.
Butch Reed hair it looks like he was using Soul Glow lol, Afro mixed with jerry curls He definately fit the style for the eighties that is for sure. lololol
I remember when my dad took me to the Riverside Centroplex as it was called back then when jyd took on butch reed in Baton Rouge that arena is now known as the River Center
There's always talk about Black wrestlers that weren't world champions. If a prime Butch Reed was a wrestler in the early 2000s or today, he could not be denied. He had the look, the athletic ability, and microphone skills.
This was physical fued. Two big thick men who could take it and really laid it in. Tough guys to work. Didn't mind being hit and didn't mind if you did! You didn't have to sell the work. The sound sold it for ya
Dogs match's in WWE were just what they were laid out to be. Same as all others bad. When he worked mid south and Memphis 30 40 minuet matches the norm. Saw him work Flair 45 in mid south. In old NWA if you couldn't go 45 60 mins you didn't get title shots. People paying champ price expected champ quality match and go5vem
@@ElectricCool Yeah, he had only been heavy into the worst part of his crack/cocaine addiction maybe a year tops here and like you said took better care of himself and could still go for longer than a TV squash match looking any kind of convincing. By the time he got to where a national audience was seeing him he was years into a $100+ a day habit and the big contract for less work he got from New York just made the situation much worse. I've never seen anything good come from giving a full blown junkie access to a lot of easy money, especially not in the long term. The JYD was sadly no exception...😔
Wow, ever powerfully-built guys. Genetics is a huge factor there. Some dudes take steroids, train hard, but still never develop the look of rugged power that these 2 guys have.
Grew up watching JYD and Butch Reed.God Bless...
RIP to both legends, JYD and Butch
Butch Reed, excellent wrestling psychologist,athletic, master of the trash talk. Able to back it up when needed. Nobody's punk!
Fantastic physique he had also....was great him n ron as doom. Wish they hadnt been broken up🙄
In the Mid South at this time they had great chemistry in the ring they always had great matches.
This was when wrestling was good. I can’t get into it now!
This was one helluva feud!!
This is why UA-cam is great growing up in New York City I only watched WWF
Now I can enjoy other Wrestling organizations.
Butch Reed had a tremendous drop kick for a big guy. R.I.P
Butch Reed easily had one of the best pro wrestling builds of all time. Dude looked like he was made of concrete.
I actually preferred his build over Tony's.
Reed is selling his ass off
Hacksaw is built solid as a rock. Looks like he was chiseled out of stone. I wish i could find some matches from when Hacksaw and JYD were tagteam partners.
There maybe 1 or 2 in mid south right before Reed turned heel.
One of many great matches of my generation
friggin jyd couldve been the mayor of new orleans
I like those early ‘80’s afros, especially the late JYD. God bless him & Butch Reed.
I hope Appollo and Big E can have a legendary feud like JYD and Butch Reed RIP to both Legends.
Soup Bones v The Thump great memories as kid Butch Reed & JYD
Butch Reed was in great shape at this time
Butch Reed hair it looks like he was using Soul Glow lol, Afro mixed with jerry curls He definately fit the style for the eighties that is for sure. lololol

He could clean a commode with his hairdo.
RIP natural butch reed
Jyd came 2 the ring w atomic dog...wish the video woulda caught the COMPLETE entrance
Paul Boesch on commentary and the Sam Houston coliseum. No better atmosphere if you're from Houston.
I remember when my dad took me to the Riverside Centroplex as it was called back then when jyd took on butch reed in Baton Rouge that arena is now known as the River Center
I was there last week for a concert
Reed.. Definition of a great heel
A 357 on a 44 Frame. That's how you solve any problem with the KKK. RIP BUTCH and JYD
JYD is the reason I started watching wrestling
R.I.P 2 These Legendary Kingz

This was in Houston, right? Paul Bosch is on commentary.
Correct

JYD perfect specimen of male physique
This was an awesome battle
TWO Mega Over TOP WRESTLERS ...

Jukyord dog🐕
Wow, JYD went longer than 5 minutes
Because this was Mid South not the WWE. Mid South knew what they had in the JYD.
@@TehJew22 He took better care of himself here, too

Nice Clean Win by Hack Saw Butch Reed .. 1-2-3
GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT
The Pychology
Reed vs Simmons was a great match.
Ohh the referee is it the son of Bill watts ???
Hey! He cheated! Bastion Booger ran in to help him! How can Jack Tunney allow this?

🙏 and 🙏
You could clean the commode with Butch Reed's and JYD'S hairdos.
Weak finish.
Ref spots killed the match
