Butch Reed and Ron Simmons the team of Doom is one of the most underrated teams ever
They were great.
Yes yes I agree
For Real!!
they where never underrated they where pushed they had plenty of tv time and we still talking about them 30 years later.
RIP “Hacksaw” Butch Reed!
I met the Natural Butch Reed at LAX when I was a kid. I was amazed and too scared to speak. So my mother asked if he was Butch Reed and he responded “@ your service, Ma’am.” Classic‼️
Always heard about his rivalry with Junkyard Dog. RIP Butch
Tony Atlas is the TK Kirkland of professional wrestling.
😂😂😂😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Rip butch reed
At Dusty Rhodes Hall of Fame induction speech he said Harley Race was the toughest guy he ever stepped into the ring with.
Rest In Paradise to The Natural Butch Reed. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He and my childhood hero Mr. USA Tony Atlas really inspired me and my friends to start weight training back in the day!!
It didn't take him long to put the bad mouth on a man who just died. And by all accounts, Butch and Harley were good friends and fellow Missourians. He did the same thing to Allen Coage. Not a good look, Tony.
I agree
I was thinking the same thing like damn Tony lol
@@roibaptiste3648 I agree. He seems to have a problem with any Black wrestler who was more successful than him and his stories keep changing. He referred to JYD as a friend but he recently called him two-faced. I think years of drug use have finally caught up to him. I'm sorry but as a wrestler, he looked good in the ring but he was terribly boring. imo
I agree totally. In one of Reed's latest shoots he gave Tony respect and said Tony was a good friend of his. I do remember his comments about Bad News Brown. Distasteful.
Tony is Jealous of Butch Reed. Butch was better than him in every way. Better wrestler, better physique, better speaker
Butch was a bad ass
“EIGHTY-DOLLLAS” lmaooo
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭
Damn, hung up on $80! When Vince meets his maker, it's gonna be an interesting conversation, that's for sure.
There's always 2 sides to every story.
You start handing out $80 to one guy, then the locker room hears about Vince's generosity and next thing you know there are two dozen wrestlers with their hands out for some cash. Sounds harsh to deny a guy such a small amount, but when you run a business like WWF at the time, with the way word spread like wildfire and often exaggerated, I can sort of understand the logic behind it. I'm sure there were some other guys in the business he could have asked at the time who wouldn't have had that kind of potential problem.
Didn’t know he died .... RIP .. had a few of us started lifting weights!!!!! The natural !
Ya apparently he had 2 heart attacks in January. So he died from some heart ailment i believe.
@@quincee3376 I was sad to learn of "Hacksaw" Butch Reed's death. He was a great competitor and a humble person.
@@quincee3376 His family thinks Covid-19 caused his death, even though he died from heart complications after suffering two massive heart attacks. Go the fox4kdotcom website and look up the following headline: Family mourns former WWE, WCW wrestler, Warrensburg native, Butch Reed
I tried to add it here, but I keep getting the message We weren't able to add your reply please try again.
@@pbanik ok no problem.
@@quincee3376 You're welcome.
Stay on the topic of Butch Reed
I was at the bar the night Butch and Harley got into it and there were no punches thrown it was a wrestling match all the tables were moved out of the way then Harley and Butch were simply trying to pin each other. Yes Harley did get the best of Butch but they were both drunk and it was just a friendly wrestling match. They left arm in arm up the elevator laughing all the way after it was over. It wasn't a fight..
Oh wow. Thx.
Bob cook this is Antonio Mcallister your Facebook friend that lives not far from you in Clearwater Beach thank u so much for clearing that up ! I saw what u said about the wrestling match they had in the bar and they left hugging and laughing like I would want that to end because I love both of them dearly thanks for clearing it up brother! 🤘
@bob cook 👍
@Bob Cook... Thank you! I believe you 100% because that sounds like the story that was online a few years back. Tony is a hater who doesn't seem to want to take accountability. From what i hear Reed was a nice guy, but didn't take no shit from anyone.
"He was known as a tough guy , but he wasn't as tough as Harley Race". I am sure that same statement could be made about several tough pro wrestlers or self-proclaimed "tough guys" over the years who tried to test Harley Race. RIP Butch Reed.
Like in the hood or anywhere else for that matter, you can actually be a legit badass but there will be "ALWAYS" someone tougher!!!
Butch and Harley were solid , Harley was not a hard as he thought Butch would have really knocked out Harley ....same as when Black Jack Mulligan did to Harley ...in the Hotel ...and the next day in the car they drove together in the same car and Harley did and said jack .
Tony is compelling as a guest ! Please keep inviting back ... love the anecdotes ...
I’ve heard about Danny Davis being a legit tough guy before .
He was a boxer I believe .
10 tag-team matches and Tony didn't have much of anything to say about "Hacksaw" Butch Reed? He either didn't like him or he didn't know him. Such a shame because, physique wise, Mid-South era "Hacksaw" Butch Reed was Tony Atlas' closest parallel.
He didn't even remember being his partner dat one struck me as odd lol
@@troyaldaking2000 ...because his know-it-all ass be lying.
@@kevincwatson6922 yea something aint adding up
RIP Butch Reed.
RIP Butch.
Tony Atlas is a Step 'N Fetchit so I'm not surprised that he made up BS story in order to make a legendary black wrestler look bad. He's the same one who claimed that Shane McMahon was the toughest guy in wrestling, tougher than Haku, Barbarian, Brock and others.
Ok Shaft settle down it’s pro wrestling, just entertainment
Lol. Legendary wrestler that's on record for pissing on every hotel floor he ever worked at. Back up dude.
Btw there are multiple stories of Butch getting his ass kicked. He had a major temper and got piss drunk and sloppy all the time. His drinking drugs and antics outside the ring kept him from ever being a major player much less a legend.
Atlas is a Step N Fetchit type dude but it's believable that Harley kicked his ass.
@@theycallmemrfiggs harley race kicked a bunch of people's asses that were a lot tougher than Butch reed or tony atlas.
And the next day he gets fired by Shane ..this Idiot is a pure joke Butch Reed was legit walk the walk ....
That Danny Davis story is exactly why Jesse Ventura wanted a wrestlers union.
Tony needs a podcast all of his own
Tony needs to go away he is getting more attention now than during his entire ring lack luster career .
At one time Butch Reed lived in Bossier city Louisiana and I use to see him a lot.He had 2 dollars that went to Apollo private school
Sharing a Butch Reed memory....
Mid 80’s, Greenwood Mississippi house show.
Battle of the Hacksaws in a Football Helmet on a pole match. Baby face Reed went over on the Heel Jim Duggan. Afterwards, I was with the happy fans Reed was walking through to get to the dressing room. Holding the helmet by the chin strap, Butch swings it up across his shoulder and accidentally hit me in the head.
That goose egg made me the coolest kid in school.
Would really like you to shoot on Iceman King Parsons.
Yes! Book him!!...please?
Haaa..... Iceman had 2 fans..... You're one of them..... 😂
Jk
Boston Wrestling stay delivering🔥
Hacksaw Butch Reed, Junkyard Dog, Iceman king parsley,Ron Simmons. The glory years.
Rest in peace my friend and you are the best Entertainer wrestler I have seen.
Butch Reed had a tremendous physique but he was not muscle bound like Tony Atlas. He maintained great flexibility and athleticism. His drop kicks were absolutely beautiful. Tony Atlas could barely get off the ground with a one legged dropkick.
Tony Atlas for Mayor....RIP to the "NATURAL" aka "HACKSAW"
I know Harley Race was one of the toughest ever in pro wrestling. However him beating up Butch Reed? I would've had to of seen it to believe it! Tony really fence jumps on issues. On some programs he takes up for Vince and the WWE. On other programs he talks junk about Vince and claims he's a liar. Tony seems to change his opinions like the weather.
Rest in Peace Hacksaw/Natural Butch Reed!
Tony Atlas is a liar
Tony acts like he had a personal beef with hacksaw REED. I met Tony before and he acted as if he never worked with him. Butch never said anything bad about Tony and even called him a friend. And as far as Race and Reed, i heard they had an altercation but nothing like what Tony claimed. There's a story That may still be on the internet of Butch being drunk and tested Race and Harley put him in a submission hold. They were cool afterwards. Anyway why would he choose to speak negative of a man who just died. He wants to talk about how he was supposed to be the natural. WHO CARES.... STICK TO THE TOPIC. Tony sounds like a hater.
@@j.smoov7220 Atlas has something to say negative about his so called friends jyd Rocky Johnson and now reed smh it was himself that burned bridges
I can't speak on the rest but it is well documented that even Andre didn't want to "F" Harley Race that should be a testament to how tough he actually was! He's one of very few that Andre respected on that level!
@@patrickcarr9129 Exactly... I noticed that a long time ago. Tony talked about personal things like Rocky cheating on his wife. No one including Rocky's wife and son don't want that info shared with the public.
Wow Tony is brave talking about Vince like that. He better have eyes in the back of his head
Great Intel on the Business!! Great interview!!! 4real 👍💪🏅😷
R.I.P One Off My Favorite Wrestlers Ever Hacksaw The Natural Butch Reed
Looking for this one. Good to see Tony still kicking it
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work just give him the credit and respect that he deserve a game charger 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
R.I.P Butch Reed
Harley Race vs Billy jack Haynes would have been interesting. RIP the natural
Indeed. It was interesting hearing about Harley and Blackjack Mulligan going at it.
Billy Jack Haynes was my first favorite wrestler when I started watching the WWF back in the 80's.
From what I remember hearing on several interviews, Harley was a champion boxer in either the Navy or Marines and a legit tough guy you didn't want to fight. I saw the JYD vs Reed rivalry in Mid-South in person and it was much more brutal than the JYD vs Ernie Ladd feud that went for years.
Wht interview did you hear he was a champion boxer?
He about to get his “Elequick” lights turned off...lmao 😆
Eleltla Lights....recuperate the money ....You gotta love this shit
According to Reed, he was exhausted after that travel schedule. He took a little time off and ended up missing that tv taping where he would've won the IC title. In other words, he was too tired to gaf.
Wow imagine if honky tonk man never got the IC title!
@@ajjjay9583 I do, all the time. Ugh, he was dreadful. Change the channel when he came on after a while.
@@jaythor70 You were the only one because HTM was great and drew tons of money.
@@CatsClaw44 well, unlike you, I was only speaking for myself. But I was hardly the only one. Never met anyone who liked him.
@@jaythor70
I love wrestling and the many characters that existed within but HTM was not one of them! However, he became extremely interested via internet and shoot videos he comes off as being very genuine and gracious! I appreciated his work ethic and contributions to the industry more so now that I am older!
Ty 🙏🏻
i always loved tony atlas , what he said about wrestlers coming up with their own style and gimmick it made it authentic because it was actually part of them
R.I.P The Natural
Seen butch Reed in Kiel auditorium in st Louis in the 80s. He was great
I have a picture with the two wrestlers when I was younger. While they were with Bill Watts mid south @ Rapides coliseum
Didn't realize Tony was from the VA area! appreciate anyone who comes out of the Virginia's - good stuff
Tony's from Roanoke, VA
Bob Roupe and Buddy Landell come to mind.
“Do not, have sex with baboons!!!”😂😂😂😂😂 “They’re cute though!” Good sound advice!!!
Tony didn't need that gimmick anyway. It wasn't a good look for Butch Reed either. However, the "Gold Standard" gimmick for Shelton Benjamin did work.
The Harley and Butch Reed story to me doesn’t make since in a way only because if they had fought when Race was already managing Vader, Reed and Tony Atlas weren’t in WCW at the same time. Reed had left WCW before Race became a manager for Vader and Luger and certainly before Atlas showed up. In fact it’s news to me that Atlas and Reed were ever into the ring together.
coda700 it didn’t make sense to me either because Harley was one of Butch mentors
Tony confusing me his years are mixed up
Yo! Tony Atlas gives a great insight to the business....
I got a question did the WWE ring the bell for Butch Reed
This is a really good show I love this show I hope Tony Atlas get money for this
Tony is a national treasure.
Didn't Vince give Tony a job after he was homeless and got back on his feet? Can't be that bad a guy lol
Yes he did, Vince did more good then bad.
I know he was hired back after being homeless and was Sabba Simba which was ridiculous but wouldn't you just be grateful of the chance given to where where you had recently been.
@@darendee5682
But that doesn't take away the bad, or the good to be honest! In my years I've earned that it can be two sides of a coin! Like any other human I believe he possess both qualities just depend on where your standing at the moment!
If I had a choice, homeless or playing Sabba Simba, I’m in the tiger trunks pretty quick, because homeless is a SHITE OPTION
I'm sorry, but; Butch would not fight Harley because of the tremendous respect he had for him
How do you know, were you there? Of course not.
@@darensparks I know because; I'm Slick using my wife's computer!
Dan, all you need is Black Bart and I will never watch anything else on RUclips.
Butch Reed said in a shoot interview that he didn't want the intercontinental title, he missed the booking and didn't show up,
mainly because he was too tired, the workload would've kept him away from his family and his ranch,
he was a working wrestler that lived for his family first.
Yes They Was I Love Doom
Danny Davis is from Brockton Ma, the hometown of Rocky Marciano. I'm not surprised to hear that Davis was a legit street fighter.
Tony atlas cracks me up
Tony Atlas is on Crack
I’m Bruce Reed little cousin, and Tony, Bruce’s Mom kept a picture of you and Bruce in her house. It was there for years. I’m telling you right now that Bruce had no idea that he was supposed to take the Intercontinental Championship. So, not Bruce’s fault. Bruce actually looked at Harley Race more as a mentor. We haven’t laid Bruce to rest yet, and I’m not going to allow lies to be told on him. I love my 12X Champion Big Cousin, not like you as a fan, no I love Bruce more as an Uncle. So, when you talk about the Natural Hacksaw Butch Reed make sure you have your facts straight.
Bruce was my friend... More like my Brother.. I didn't know Butch "Hacksaw" Reed, I knew Bruce, I attended his funeral in Warrensburg Rest In Peace my Brother. Gonna miss those phone calls
Can you have a segment with Tony where he only talks about nutrition, vitamins and working out. What kind of exercises he did to stay in shape all these years.
A 357 on a 44 Frame. That's how you solve any problem with the KKK. RIP BUTCH
Rip my grandpa😭
Tony Atlas is the man
Tony kept talking about everything but Butch Reed. That was annoying
An overused word nowadays. Yes it was unfortunate listeners were not treated to more Butch Reed stories.
I hope they will put Butch Reed posthumously into HOF
RIP
Tony Atlas barely said anything about Butch Reed. Either he was extremely resentful of Butch or he is reminded of his own mortality. Both him and Butch Reed used an exorbitant amount of steroids.
@@pooddescrewch8718 did he?
Tony liked women to stomp on his face
PBUH
A shame that Danny couldn't get the 80 dollars but the real question is why did a man who was gamefully employed by the WWF not have such a petty amount to begin with.
Tony use to defend Vince in these interviews, im curious to what changed his mind
Tony sometimes don't know what he be sayin'. That is why he and New Jack don't get along, both don't be knowin' what they be sayin'
He didn't change his mind. Vince is a complex man.
I started this video expecting him to say positive things about Reed.
Wrong expectations.
Tony is a low life. I lost all of the little respect I had for him.
Me too smfh
@@bullfranthrow Thats a Crackhead for ya
I'm the fabulous Moolah...lmao
I ain't mad at my boy butch for losing to Harley. that joker sounded like the haku of his day.
damn, all the good ones are dying off.
I remember Butch Reed had the name hacksaw then next thing you know hacksaw Jim Duggan got the name.
Tony could've been part of doom he would've great as the third guy they could do the old switcher when loosing
i wanted to say here i was listening Butch Reed shoot interview 2019 the reason they gave the title to the HonkTonk Man , Butch Reed missed a booking. personal issues
I totally believe the story about Harley Race and Reed. Race's strength is legendary. Other wrestlers said his hands were steel.
No matter what tony atlas says ,
I always believe what he says , as he would say he has believability
Butch was really Drunk!
Tony went in on Vince.
RIP Butch Reed
RIP BUTCH!!
Hacksaw Butch Reed was a former nwa world champion
From what I hear, Harley Race could do everything better than any one.
Harley Race was phenomenal. One of the greatest of all time.
In this segment Tony revealed himself as one of the biggest P.O.S we've seen.
27:15 huh 😂😂😂😂
It hurts my heart to hear Tony Atlas. He should be in the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, with these stories, it will never happen. Saba Simba?!?! Really?
Tony Atlas, inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006,
What’s an ahlectic bill
Sounds like to me Vince Mcmahon is a idiot. Worrying about paying back 80.00 when he is a billionaire. Telling wrestlers they are safe, later getting a letter saying they are fired. It is going to come back on Vince in a big way.
Coming from Tony Atlas the story might not even be true
Ken Patera said the same thing
With Tony’s genetics in his younger days he could of been the next Sergio Olivia
Danny Davis was Vince bodyguard
The host looks like if Mick Foley and Vince Russo had a child together. 😆
Funny, I've been hearing that more and more
U will never See This Dude Inducted into the Hall Of Fame
He already is .
Butch did get to see his Chiefs win the superbowl...
To the family of Dan the host, so sorry to hear of Dans passing. I just found out about his passing and was shocked. I pray all of Dans family have peace and Dan will absolutely be missed.
