Man, this was such a fun, fun time to be a wrestling fan. The personalities, the "soap opera" feel to so many storylines, the matches themselves, and the crowds just lapping it up like a thirsty cat in front of his water dish. SO much fun.
@ Barry had nothing to do with training Butch Reed as a matter of fact Reed debuted a year before Barry and Barry only said Reed was stiffer than Ron, but never had deficult matches. Barry did say Luger was hard to work with.
Held multiple gold in Mid South, and titles in other territories as well, sadly another guy who once he got to NY I feel was under utilized Ron Garvin another, and so many others.
@@joemarchand8313 You'd say Andre The Giant was terrible on the mic. And that some little wimp who says a lot of creative words is good on the mic. But you're wrong.
Butch Reed & Ron Simmons, with their Manager, Teddy Long. DOOM!!!!! They gave teams like The Steiners, and The Legion of Doom, The Road Warriors, all that they could handle, that's for sure!
there was one incident where Reed was to be IC champ by beating steamboat, but he was a no show on the day steamboat was to lose the belt and Honky Tonk Man just happened to be there....they needed someone on short notice and it was Hogan who said "what about him" to Vince and the rest is history
I sure hope so. All Roddy's gotta do, is remember that there's no bad language, and no womanizing, allowed in Heaven. I wonder if he's run into Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and Gorilla Monsoon, yet? If so, you can just bet your bottom dollar, that those three are whooping it up, and hamming it up, too, up there on Streets of the Purest Gold!
A 357 ON A 44 FRAME, THAT'S HOW YOU SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE COMING INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AFTER HOURS, R.I.P. HACKSAW BUTCH REED THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT.
Don't you just love the beginning???? "Someone's been tragically injured, BUT LOOK, ROWDY RODDY PIPER'S HERE TO DO ANOTHER EPISODE OF PIPER'S PIT!!!!!! LET'S FORGET ABOUT THE INJURED MAN!!!!!!!"
if is was the example of Suzette's acting ability this explain why the Federettes didn't lass too long, Suzette was the one of the Federettes that was around from beginning to end of their run, They're many theories why this idea was abandon like they weren't suitable to children who they trying to target, but Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and other NFL dance were around then and weren't unsuitable to kids and they went football games, later the WCW Nitro Girls who were a hit always try to tone it down for family yet appeal to the male audience even women like them because they were a different role for women in wrestling from the valet, even nowadays I see stuff like Fox's Sports Girls we seem to gotten out of this era when women were't allowed to be sexy, one thing everybody can agree with the Federettes purple and white outfits were the best.
"I like the natural hair way you dyed your roots black like that." Now THAT was classic Piper. Can you imagine all the woke douchebags whose heads would explode if the WWE tried anything like that today? That's why wrestling, along with everything else, was much more fun back in the day. RIP Piper and Reed.
+5annent yea he still around thats my Uncle and he still acts the same as well! High Strung as hell and dont mention Ric Flair or he will drop you, and he still can. Hes in Kansas City running around still
Piper, Slick, Butch and the two or three non gay WWF staff ran train on that 6.5 broad backstage. Trust me. If you made as much money as I did selling coke to wrestlers in the late 80s and 90s like I did, you'd know. If you wanna hear a true stotry about Hawk, Fuji and Jake Roberts going in on an Oz of yay the Monday before Tuesday Night in Texas, gimme a hell yah!
RIP to butch Reed passed away yesterday and Roddy piper 🙏🏽😭😭😭
and slick
@@blacksmithbeatz The Doctor of Style is still kicking.
Yeah, I wonder why he left the WWE so soon.
Butch looking like the Black Randy Savage....glasses,the thing on his head...his 3 star trunks....etc etc
Man, this was such a fun, fun time to be a wrestling fan. The personalities, the "soap opera" feel to so many storylines, the matches themselves, and the crowds just lapping it up like a thirsty cat in front of his water dish.
SO much fun.
Butch Reed was great as a heel. He could talk, he had the look, and he was a good worker.
The bad thing about it, though, is that he never had the chance to be the Then-WWF World Heavyweight Champion. He'd of made a great Champion!
Butch Reed is cool , hilarious and bad.His natural charisma and presence and ring skills is legendary and natural.
Ted Ham : Indeed
Ted Ham agreed!
Love With Reed
@ Barry had nothing to do with training Butch Reed as a matter of fact Reed debuted a year before Barry and Barry only said Reed was stiffer than Ron, but never had deficult matches. Barry did say Luger was hard to work with.
The fact that Piper was never a World Champ is utterly ridicoulus. He has beaten more World Champs than anyone WTF?
David Scott because he didn't need a title to get him over. His charisma alone was worth more than most championship holders.
Piper refused to do jobs or lose to anyone. I dont think Vince would have trusted him with a title belt
As great as Piper was he never got past upper mid-card
I miss these days of wrestling!
Rest in power Butch, such a cool heel.
One of the best, sadly missed
You can't accuse Piper of being politically correct.
Reed was a badass in the Mid-South territory. Loved his face turn against Buddy Landell
Wasn't that when he teamed up with "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan?
@@ronaldshank7589 you are correct
Long live the memories of Roddy Piper & Butch Reed. xoxo The Clarences
This is at the Notre Dame JACC in South Bend, Indiana. I was there!
I thought Butch Reed was underrated!!!!!!!! ;*(
Held multiple gold in Mid South, and titles in other territories as well, sadly another guy who once he got to NY I feel was under utilized Ron Garvin another, and so many others.
@@markbowman6655 No doubt!
He was TERRIBLE on the mike, though.
@@joemarchand8313 I thought he was a scary, intense talker in the videos where he was Hacksaw Butch Reed, feuding with Hacksaw Jim Duggan!!!!!!
@@joemarchand8313 You'd say Andre The Giant was terrible on the mic. And that some little wimp who says a lot of creative words is good on the mic. But you're wrong.
luv this dude Doom was unbeatable
Butch Reed & Ron Simmons, with their Manager, Teddy Long.
DOOM!!!!!
They gave teams like The Steiners, and The Legion of Doom, The Road Warriors, all that they could handle, that's for sure!
A Few years later Piper went further than that, introducing a young lady to the Rod Awakening.
R.I.P. to the " Hot Rod " and the " Natural " 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
As huge as Piper was in wrestling, his role in They Live was equally as huge
...and WAY more important, when you consider the message from the movie.
Rest in peace.
Roddy piper 🎋
Butch reed 💪
I used to love myself some Butch Reed!!
Glory Mosby lmao.... when wrestling was good!
May he RIP.
The Great Butch Reed.
Butch Reed should have been a world champion
there was one incident where Reed was to be IC champ by beating steamboat, but he was a no show on the day steamboat was to lose the belt and Honky Tonk Man just happened to be there....they needed someone on short notice and it was Hogan who said "what about him" to Vince and the rest is history
Mis this. Love The Natural's angry reaction to the girl's response. Lol
I like to think of Roddy doing his Pipers Pit with some of these guests again inside the pearly gates making God laugh
I sure hope so. All Roddy's gotta do, is remember that there's no bad language, and no womanizing, allowed in Heaven.
I wonder if he's run into Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and Gorilla Monsoon, yet? If so, you can just bet your bottom dollar, that those three are whooping it up, and hamming it up, too, up there on Streets of the Purest Gold!
Loved this awesome!
1:07 After all these years, Piper finally made me chuckle at one of his one liners.
@ The Real
How in the hell did he NOT make u laugh before !? LOL.
Geez.
He did that constantly for the rest of us. Too bad for you, you missed a lot.
@@guins99
STFU
I’ve been watching Piper since the 70’s, moron.
When you hear his schtick in one territory you’ll hear it again in the next.
Butch Reed is wearing similar tights to the Macho Man
trustmeo7 : Yeah, I saw that too
Best days of wrestling !
I think Piper almost got Butch with the hair joke. Seems like Butch was about the laugh and recovered.
Butch was a beast in the 80's.
Slick was funny.
Three formidable communication mavericks. 😌😁
Piper the Great
around your...right there!
How dare Piper insults "The Natural" Butch Reed like that.
I loved every minute of it
nice Piper's Pit on what was my 14th birthday.
Also time has been very good to Butch Reed, and JJ Dillon as well, both look younger than they are.
RIP ROWDY RODDY PIPER
Piper pit was just classic
RIP Butch Reed. He was 66.
A 357 ON A 44 FRAME, THAT'S HOW YOU SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE COMING INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AFTER HOURS, R.I.P. HACKSAW BUTCH REED THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT.
" oh NOO! " 🤣
Love it 🤣
Reed was a total badass in the NWA and Mid South...total joke in wwf.
I miss butch Reed
RIP Butch Reed
The great one
RIP BUTCH REED
R.I.P. butch reed
When the black man was real.
Damn I miss Piper
Doctor of Style!
Don't you just love the beginning???? "Someone's been tragically injured, BUT LOOK, ROWDY RODDY PIPER'S HERE TO DO ANOTHER EPISODE OF PIPER'S PIT!!!!!! LET'S FORGET ABOUT THE INJURED MAN!!!!!!!"
I am betting that there is a group of people that would find this racist. That being said, I loved it!!!!
Piper disrespected The Natural Butch Reed and Slick The Doctor of Style.
if is was the example of Suzette's acting ability this explain why the Federettes didn't lass too long, Suzette was the one of the Federettes that was around from beginning to end of their run, They're many theories why this idea was abandon like they weren't suitable to children who they trying to target, but Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and other NFL dance were around then and weren't unsuitable to kids and they went football games, later the WCW Nitro Girls who were a hit always try to tone it down for family yet appeal to the male audience even women like them because they were a different role for women in wrestling from the valet, even nowadays I see stuff like Fox's Sports Girls we seem to gotten out of this era when women were't allowed to be sexy, one thing everybody can agree with the Federettes purple and white outfits were the best.

RIP Piper and Reed.
He used that same line on Ric Flair and his bleach job lol.
butch reed is paul orndorff meets superstar billy graham and tony atlas
Slick is confused
Who was getting stretchered out at the very beginning of the clip?
Suzette said "Soul Brother too Beacoup"
Who was doing the stretcher job at the beginning of the clip?
It was a jobber squashed by Kamala. I think it was Jack Kruger.
@@alloutofbubblegumRP
Jack Krueger got squashed by Kamala after he got crowned with his mask right before the match.
Natural black roots lol
butch reed could talk some shit ] deep voice] he use to army-press ppl ,u had to be strong to do that shit] i wonder if he still around]
+5annent yea he still around thats my Uncle and he still acts the same as well! High Strung as hell and dont mention Ric Flair or he will drop you, and he still can. Hes in Kansas City running around still

Jesus - these were getting worse an worse

Ain't this the same female that rejected Rick Rude?
You couldn't get away with that today because it looks racist even if it's not. The 80s was just so different
Piper, Slick, Butch and the two or three non gay WWF staff ran train on that 6.5 broad backstage.
Trust me. If you made as much money as I did selling coke to wrestlers in the late 80s and 90s like I did, you'd know.

hell yah! What about Sensational Sheeri
