@@jessecrawford3897 I was a huge wrestling fan back then. And while I remember Reed, he doesn't stand out in my mind as being anywhere near the greatest. Tony Atlas had more popularity than Butch and for sure the JYD
@@jonburrows2684 you won't get an argument from me on anything you stated! While those are truths, Butch was over like hell in Florida chasing Ric for the title. When you speak of Tony Atlas, very great talent, so so mic skills and decent wrestler. JYD was probably the most popular out of them all. The feuds Butch and JYD had are classified classics! Butch just had that "it factor" for me and I was an instant fan the first time I seen him talk and wrestle! I do respect your opinion though just to be clear!
@@jonburrows2684 I think you're missing the guys point. He didn't say he considered Butch the greatest, he said he was his all time favorite. My all time favorite is Stan Hansen, and while great, I don't think anyone would say Stan was the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots. As much as I love JYD, he may have been popular, but he wasn't nearly as good as Butch was bell to bell.
Gday luv Huge Rasslin fan Mid South Houston Florida Portland ATL Fancied the fact he never clowned Strong as s ox Loved rodeo and horse back riding HOF Doom was superb RIP Bruce and thank you The Original Hacksaw The Natural
I had NO IDEA Butch Reed was from KANSAS CITY (my hometown). When you think of PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING & KANSAS CITY, you mention names like the ORTON’s & HARLEY RACE. I remember DOOM & their feud with the STEINER BROS. in WCW. Rest Up Butch 🌹🪦
He was actually from Warrensburg. His dad lived there too. I loved his dad in the short couple of years I had known him. I loved his horses probably as much as he did. RIP Uncle Rosie and Uncle Butch
One of the best wrestlers ever to lace up a pair of boots especially for a big man you see that drop kick very few big man could move around like Butch his press slam all the power moves yet could get on the mat and wrestle he truly would have been a great NWA world heavyweight champion if given the chance how ironic his protege would later become the first world Black champion I'll go down on the record book saying it should have been Butch 20 years earlier his matches against Ric flair and Harley race are legendary rest in peace hacksaw the natural Butch Reed?!!
@Woody Last Name yes shes wife and manager of Kevil Sullivan but she also managed Butch Reed and Ron Simmons when they was called DOOM in WCW as a tag team back in 1989
@Woody Last Name Im sure God has saved her from the demons that try to destroy her soul.She was a very beautiful female valet and manager but you can see she is actually very shy in real life and very sweet.Rest in Peace Nancy Sullivan Benoit aka Woman
I remember when Hacksaw Butch Reed jacked up Terry Taylor with that Coal Miner's glove in Mid-South. Taylor looked like he threw up scrambled eggs. Lol!!
He should be in the Hall of Fame if he isn't already. He's the first black NWA world champion 🏆🌎🏆 hacksaw Butch Reed. There was 3 wrestlers that used the name hacksaw. Hacksaw Butch Reed/ hacksaw Sawyer .aka. Brett Wayne. Hacksaw Jim Dugan God bless you All 🙏❤️🙏
He Will Always Be Respect It ✊ RIP Butch Read My Brother Have God Rest Your Soul RIP 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Butch, I remember you being larger than life. I never realized how big you were til I was grown. You and Uncle Rosie will be missed.
I loved watching him wrestle (and dance with Slick). RIP Butch Reed. I am sure they were all waiting on you. Good times....
I treasure my Doom action figures even more now!
Thank you for doing a tribute for Butch Reed and thank you for your Big Daddy V tribute new sub
One of the greatest of all time
Butch Reed was my idol
I agree 💯%
Same here!
He's my favorite hero
Rest In Paradise ✊🏾👍🏾🙏🏾💪🏽💪🏽
My absolute favorite wrestler growing up and still is to this very day! Bless Up "Hacksaw" Butch Reed and R.I.P. The REAL "Hacksaw" Butch Reed
Whatever! Even over Ric Flair?
@@jonburrows2684 I said my favorite! I will also say Ric Flair is a definite GOAT in wrestling. No argument on that!

Butch and the Dog had a incredible rivalry in mid south. That is what I remember best from Butch Reed.
Rest now, you have done your part.
Reed in Mid-South was gold..... His heel turn was awesome.
Agreed.

Summer of 1983 Butch Reed turned heel against JYD. " I don't need you. I don't need the Dog. all I need is me."
