Just this past friday, he was just at a local show in melvindale, 10 minutes from my house. My gf and I had trouble finding the ring, and he and the company's announcer walked out, and politely told us we were in the right spot. then he said as a matter of fact here is necro butcher. he said hello how are you, enjoy the show and walked by less than a foot away. all i could say was holy shit.totally, forgot all rational thought #shamelessadultmark I wish i had offered to smoke him out! >< one of the politest guys ive seen on video
I was in a no holds barred Death match at the Oklahoma State Fair with this guy. Real down to Earth dude, good ring worker... He bought me a bratwurst and beer after the match.
The ironic thing about this interview is that Necro Butcher is probably one of the only guys I'd pay money to get a picture or an autograph from. I thought he was just another crazy ass wrestler, but he comes across well spoken and very intelligent. I hope he's made enough dollars, because he sure has given the ring more then his fair share of blood, sweat and tears.
I don't comment (EVER) but damit this man is the true definition of a wrestler and wrestling fan! I give much respect to him an what he's done!! Salute
Man, hearing Necro talk out of character just underlines how much of a good guy he is. As insane and scary as he could be in the ring, he really was there for the love of the work.
That sounds 1000x cooler than lining up to just be another face. I met Ricky Steamboat, the Rock n Roll Express, Teddy Long, JJ Dillon, and Ric Flair, and for Flair I had to wait in line. The others I didn't have to and the experience felt so much greater. I got to ACTUALLY STAND AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH RICKY STEAMBOAT. As opposed to being just another face in the line.
I didn't want the video to be over because I didn't want to stop listening to him talk. You can go an entire year and not get to hear someone so humble and selfless and down to earth. Almost like medicine in this otherwise rotting cesspool of a world.
One of my all-time favorite professional wrestlers , He takes nuttier bumps than anybody else. He isn't afraid of being stiffed. He isn't afraid to stiff the hell out of somebody. He doesn't make a match more complicated than it needs to be. He's efficient.
This is the same awesome mentality as the countless punk/metal bands who play in basements in front of 10 people after an 8 hour drive, play their hearts out and leave with 20 bux gas money. The TRUE warriors of the underground (be it wrestling, extreme music, etc.) are in it for the love of their craft, its history, and with the simple hope that their performances (even in a small town VFW or basement) in front of often only a handful of people will continue to inspire others to keep these rad subcultures alive in a world where nearly everything is becoming a commodity controlled by people with no interest in anything other than the financial angle. Signing autographs for $ is a fuckin joke. It's totally cool to have a donation can (and most people will toss in a buck for an autograph or give ya some free bud/hash) but just the sheer fact that someone wants your auto has always been for me an honor and payment in itself. As far as other merch like shirts and stuff, I think that's totally fine as long as their sold near cost. Selling a shirt that cost 5-8 bux for $20 is just b.s. and greed, for in the end the value of the promo gained by someone wearing a t-shirt with you or your band logo, etc. on it is invaluable. Long live all those who support and participate in the DIY undergrounds of the performance arts for the sheer love of it.
Politics and other phony bullshit aside, Necro Butcher is one of the most intelligent minds in the entirety of professional wrestling, even after everyone looked at him nowadays and say he has some CTE and shit. Have only talked to Necro once. Hamilton, Canada, 2018. Me and him eventually had a near 15 minute chatter about basically everything wrestling and philosophy in the wrestling business. He told me that if I were to get into the business, "you better keep your mouth shut most of the time; inspect and develop and not seek some same old shit from the typical 170-pounder." He is an utterly excellent speaker and I will stand by that until the day I die.
Necro is the man. I worked on quite a few shows with him in metro Detroit years back. One of the best & most humble people in the business that I ran across. Also very intelligent. Necro could drink & case of beer, take shots of Fireball all night AND have a sensical, intellectual discussion with you afterward.
He mentioned the civic center in wheeling WVA. Been there soooo many times while growing up in the ‘70s. Saw the icons. And yes you could walk up to them and get a autograph or pic.... for free! Those were great years!!
I agree with Necro, I know selling merch is how guys make money, but everyone has gimmicks and it is ridiculous. I went to a show where at least 17 guys were selling merch, that is just ridiculous, and most likely, only the big names are making money and the lesser known guys aren't selling shit. I went to a chikara show and basically everyone was selling merchandise, I like Bryce, but referees selling merchandise is just ridiculous
If Butcher came up an said I had a cute kid, I would document the moment for the future of my child so he could bask in it's glory knowing the great one anointed them as a cute kid oh so many years ago.
Very honorable and honest dude. But......I will say, that alone doesn't pay the bills. I had to sell the 8x10's for extra cash while in the indies. Lotta respect for this guy. Glad I never worked with him tho lol.
Mega Titan even if it does pay the bills - it doesn’t give him security for when he’s unable to work anymore. I know his heart is clearly in the right place but he needs to think about providing a comfortable life for himself and his daughter.
its incredible how smart this guy is. really could have done almost anything with his life, but he loves wrestling. one of my favorites. but holy shit, going to uni at 15. that'd be so uncomfortable
I was at the Rochester War Memorial in New York for WWF in the 80's and my nephew took me over to the far end where nobody was sitting right next to the spot where the wrestlers come out through the curtain. It was a elevated area so that you could look down and literally touch the wrestlers if they reached up to you and sitting all by his lonesome watching everything from the way back was Chief J Strongbow. The man was long retired from active in Ring performance but was some kind of agent because after I met him that day my nephew pointed him out to me I started noticing him and Sgt Slaughter working with security to escort the talent back and forth to and from the ring on television 📺.
Jim Cornette gave Butcher nothing but praise and said he was a highly intelligent man. Given Butcher's wrestling style that means something coming from Corny.
I'm happy Necro Butcher chose wrestling. Honest , nice guy when it comes down to it. Other 15 year olds that went to college that comes to is the Unabomber.
Love how he's legit enjoying that Colt 45 40oz Malt Liquor Beer while doing this shoot interview. Can't be any realer. Just a regulate guy shooting the shit on camera
Shows me how good this guy is at his job, In an era were pretty much all kayfabe is long gone I though this character was a legitimate nutcase in real life and in the ring but he actually comes across as quite a cool decent guy in real life. Should have been a bigger star in wrestling.
I totally understanding & agree with some of the things that his saying I've been to indie wrestling show not a lot but been to enough shows (Indie Wrestling Show's) I've seen wrestlers, ref's & even ring announcers selling merchandise some charge up in the ass not all of them & I'm not hating on certain wrestlers, ref's & ring announcers making money or anything like that & plus if your in the wrestling business there's no retirement or social security or anything like that you can get enough money & save it as will
I've had the pleasure to meet Mr. Butcher twice so far and I can confirm he is as cool as he acts in this video. Once at CZW and once at CHIKARA. I don't have it in me to bother someone for an autograph or anything like that after shows (I will if they're sitting at a table or something but I never pay for that stuff so the only people who I've gotten to sign anything were Chuck Taylor and Bryan Danielson at the one Chikara show he did in Taylor, Michigan while he was suspended from WWE for choking that dude with a tie. I had him sign a tie.) but I wish I would have had some weed for him. Maybe if I catch him again.
A lot of people aren't money smart. I think he is objecting for great reasons, but not understanding that it's a good idea to have alternative sources of income because life happens. One day you have money and the next you have nothing. Not charging kids outside shows is wonderful. I think the only reason he charges inside the show is because it is in his contract, so the event makes more money.
jesus he is the most humble man in wrestling
+eric anthony he sure fuckin is bud!
+eric anthony he is, and that is why i am a fan.

He has no money
@@samuelwoods164 like most geniuses
@@CyrusCageSCWS yeah I wasn't hating or anything there, the original comment said they hoped he had made enough dollars when I knew he was broke.
I heard from somewhere that his IQ was measured to be super high

Man, hearing Necro talk out of character just underlines how much of a good guy he is. As insane and scary as he could be in the ring, he really was there for the love of the work.
Met him once at a JCW event and he was reading books on philosophy and shit
What you think only morons do this shit?
he is really smart like genius smart so i heard from Jim Cornette
he was reading philosophy books while taking a shit ?
Ah yes the Good ol philosophy and shit book.
@@1991Kane1991 to be fair one person can only take so much shit so defecating while reading a philosophy book is logical.
LMFAO "I've moved in with women that I have no business even talking to."
Met Necro at the Filsinger card game convention and got to play a Legends of Wrestling match with him. Very personable, down-to-earth, regular guy.
That sounds 1000x cooler than lining up to just be another face. I met Ricky Steamboat, the Rock n Roll Express, Teddy Long, JJ Dillon, and Ric Flair, and for Flair I had to wait in line.

"Nigh time digging. Really sends people over the edge" HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Necro was always one of my favorite. Got to talk to him once. Such a chill guy.
Necro is like Seth Rogan's cool uncle
razorfistforce1 gotta like your reply
Love Necro Butcher!! Seen him a couple times live at JCW events.
Necro is one of the few wrestlers today that I could listen to all day. Dude's so down to earth.
Wow he really seems like an insightful and reasonable guy.
I like the last part, where he says when you look like me you can't do certain things. It shows his common sense, which most liberals don't have.
This cements my love for Necro. Amazing wrestler and amazing guy overall.

You sick fuck, Necro! You rule!
Awesome down to earth guy who loves to wrestle I like him
love the brian posehn reference at the end! necro's fuckin awesome
Wait, this guy ISN'T brian posehn?
Necro for president
he's only 40 lol
***** um, probably has a little more to do with the insane things he puts his body through in the ring, no?
holy shit, he looks 60
Few days off 40 here, 39!
I wasn't a major fan of his hardcore work, but this guy seems like a genuinely good human being.
Stuff like this is exactly why Necro is the man!
",but introduce your pothead friends to me," lol!!
I always thought those autograph signing shows were cattle shows too. Totally agree with him
i love this dude more and more with everyone of these i watch. Necros a fkn legend!!!
fuckin love this dude now...never heard him speak he's a right and real good dude it seems
That's cute, he's quoting Brian Posehn, and he sounds and looks a bit like him. How appropriate
night time digging hahahaha
an very smart guy...incredibly underrated in terms of intelligence to the business of wrestling.
He mentioned the civic center in wheeling WVA. Been there soooo many times while growing up in the ‘70s. Saw the icons. And yes you could walk up to them and get a autograph or pic.... for free! Those were great years!!
Very nice man. Down to earth and aint out to get all he can while he can. I gotta say class act.
OMG! Haven't seen Necro in anything recent in a long time! Wow! He sure looks different than when I knew him!

Seems I grew up 20 or so minutes away from Necro. No wonder he's a solid dude. Must be that Coal mining air lol
Lol!!! He said you can't say "hey you have cute kids" with the way I look! OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣 After listening to his shoot, he has my respect!
If Butcher came up an said I had a cute kid, I would document the moment for the future of my child so he could bask in it's glory knowing the great one anointed them as a cute kid oh so many years ago.
Im a pot head if you ever come to Colorado come blaze and talk, I'd love to hear some war stories.

I met him, he's a very nice guy.
where do I go to hear more on the story about "night time digging"
its a reference to a joke by stand up comedian brian posehn who like necro has a "creepy outsider" vibe to him!
this guy just wants to hang out, you cant admire that much more.
Anyone like eat the turn buckle necrosis is awesome

I bet he is ten times more intelligent and nice as most people believe him to be.
this is the toughest dude out there. Watch Necro v. Joe.. wow.
This is especially true if you're a heel...Talk about exposing your character by sitting there after the show selling 8x10s.
A lot of people aren't money smart. I think he is objecting for great reasons, but not understanding that it's a good idea to have alternative sources of income because life happens. One day you have money and the next you have nothing. Not charging kids outside shows is wonderful.

Uhhh.... except for that time he beat the living shit out of his wife and then took to FB to justify why he did it
Legend of the hardcore wrestling
What a true gent! 👏🏽👏🏽
Jesus Christ he's out of his mind. I love it.
Was this guy in ECW? because I seen a match of him vs new jack and it was great!!
He wasn't in ECW but he did work in IWA mid south etc
Gotcha. Thanks
thanks
I seriously hate watching him wrestle but he's a very cool dude. And from West Virginia!

Seems to have giant hands. The end.
