Died due to heart complications. So sad. I was a fan. Great star in Mid South, WWF, and WCW. Doom was an underrated tag team.
RIP Natural Butch Reed. |

Terrible news. He was a legit bad ass who you didn't want to mess with. After he left wrestling, he worked as a cowboy. Very tough work.
I agree that Doom was a very underrated team.

I heard both the Steiners messed with him. Duc taping in the locker room. They didn't do that to Ron Simmons because he's a legit badass. Not saying Butch wasn't tough, but why did they mess with him and not Ron? |

RIP Mr. Reed

They didn't do it to Simmons because he would have probably given them both a beating of their lifetime. |

RIP Butch Reed.
I was just watching some of his matches from when he went to WCW, right before Doom. He was so good. Very underrated.

I am actually in the April 1984 Mid South Wrestling era on the WWE Network, and Butch Reed is such a huge part of it. Just last night I actually was thinking, "I wonder what Butch is up to right now?" Then today I see the horrible news.
R.I.P. Bruce "Butch" Reed!

This one really hurts me. Butch was an old friend of a friend of mine and I got to meet him in 2017 for maybe two minutes but those two minutes were pretty great. He had back problems and couldn't stand for a lot of fan photo ops but when he did stand he looked like he could still kick butt but didn't seem like a wrestler who would purposely hurt someone. Despite his heel persona as a wrestler he was really kind and sweet in his mannerisms, very soft spoken.
