[@stephanielaurenbounds4958]

I miss the old Mid-South Wrestling. Those were the days!!!

[@Rogan205]

I was on Vacation in Arkansas in the summer of 1983 Saturday morning in Little Rock when I saw Reed turn heel.

Soup Bones v The Thump 🤛🤜👊

[@stephanielaurenbounds4958]

The FUNNIEST thing I EVER heard “Hacksaw” Reed say was in August 1984 when he said “DOG!!! When I get DONE with you you gonna be the BACKYARD PUPPY!!”!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Rogan205]

@stephanielaurenbounds4958 I remember Reed telling Dog "I'm gonna knock the greasy black off you Dog!" 😆 🤣 😂 😹

At the time I was watching been a lot of wrestling back in the seventies down at Mid-South junkyard dog was the champion for a long time even before Harley race had the nwa title

[@abrahammitchell7366]

Mid south was going good &had great matches miss them days

[@danatownsend9155]

So that's where butchery came from the first time I saw him was in Georgia so he came from Mid-South wrestling

[@killerjoe7596]

Once he realized JYD was going to WWF Watts had Butch Reed paint a yellow streak down the back of JYD and glued feathers on him and ran him out of town. The Dog passed the torch to Reed in a big way for Watts and Midsouth Wrestling to be humiliated like that

I gotta when it comes to top 5 African American heel wrestlers Butch Reed is top 5 for sure lol.

[@ChrisSmith-sr7wi]

One of the best period. Color or race be damned. Reed and Ernie Ladd …two legendary performers 💪🏾💪🏾
