Former NFL player turned professional wrestler Butch Reed died of heart complications. He was 66.
After beginning his career in his native Kansas City, Reed's career took off in 1983 when he wrestled in the Mid-South territory as both a face and a heel. Reed would also emerge as one of NWA champion Ric Flair's toughest opponent.
Reed would have not so successful run in the WWF as "The Natural" Butch Reed sporting blond hair. He would be more successful back south in WCW as one half of Doom with Ron Simmons.
Nicknamed "Hacksaw" Butch Reed, he could deliver a terrific promo. R.I.P.
