Old School Beefcake: Butch Reed

To be honest, I don't know much about American wrestler Butch Reed. I have a vague recollection of him from his brief stint with WWE (1986-1988), but his time as a wrestler in the independent circuit looks much more interesting. Sadly, Reed passed away last year at the age of 66. Read more about him here. Watch the Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF) tribute to Reed here.

    Here's an early match of his, which shows him in fine form, as he grinding away on the headlocks:

      Like so many, he started out as the popular football-player "face," but then turned "heel." I guess that was where the money was. Agree that his early days were much more interesting. Anon.
