Jake Roberts On Why Butch Reed Wasn’t a Main Eventer In Mid-South Wrestling

On the latest episode of The Snake Pit with Jake Roberts, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about Butch Reed replacing the Junkyard Dogg as a main eventer in Mid-South Wrestling. You can check out some highlights below:

On whether Butch Reed could’ve been a main eventer for Mid-South Wrestling: “Oh, it pains me to say this. But no, he couldn’t do it, man. You know, there was only one JYD, bro. And if you’d but an honest search out there, you’d still be searching. Because there was only one of those.”

On whether Reed was a better wrestler than Junkyard Dog: “His [JYD] charisma was just too way over the top and too, too strong. Yeah [regarding Reed’s work being better].”

On whether Reed should’ve been a babyface or heel: “I love him as a heel man… He’s just so damn strong, and he can back it up. You know, he can go out there and go if you want him to. I never saw a need to do that. [laughs] Oh yeah, I’ve been in a ring with Butch.”
