goc Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Definitely looking forward to this one. Butch Reed is one of those guys that doesn't really get credit for how great he was since his best work came in Mid-South and not in WWF or WCW. At least the Mid-South 80s set helped to raise his profile because before that I'd never even really heard him talked about outside of the Doom tag team.

Zoo Enthusiast Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 He blew me away when I saw him in Mid-South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 As a Central Missouri graduate, I don't think Butch Reed has a statue on campus yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 The story about Reed and Nord fighting backstage was in Watts' book too. Great episode, and as mentoned it's nice to have a profile like this before someone's passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Awesome episode! I actually just recently got and watched a Butch Reed set and it fucking rocked so this was a phenomenally timed companion piece. Kris Zellner for President.

BrianB Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Tremendous show. I'm definitely going to seek out some of that Butch Reed and Buddy Landel stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evidence Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I just started listening to your podcasts over the past month and once again, thumbs up for an excellent episode. My only real exposure to Butch Reed was as a member of Doom around the time I began watching wrestling but after listening to this episode, it has me wishing that he had a run as NWA champ.

ZThomas Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Doom gets alot more appreciation event in WWE mainly because of JBL's commentary.The first NWA tape i saw was Starcade '89 so I got to see Doom a couple of times on thats show, He was a joke in in WWE kinda the 80's equivalent too 2 Cold Scorpios WWE run, although I did see a match vs Tito Santana at the Houston summit show up on WWE Classic afew years ago I really dug. I love his squash matches when he first came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
