I have... well you can't call it joking when it is the truth... that "FEBRUARY! THE ONLY TIME OF THE YEAR THAT THE WWE ACKNOWLEDGES ERNIE LADD EXISTED!!!"
This applies to a lot more guys who I may or may not get to this week but we are going to honor Black History Month this week.
What really got me thinking about this is as opposed to some other folks who, since they are dead, the WWE can close their eyes and be all LALALALALALALALALA!!! NOT LISTENING!!!! Butch Reed is persona non grata. For some reason I really got a bee in my bonnet after the Ron Simmons Black History Month video they debuted on RAW. Not only is Reed not one of the guys at the start - there is no mention of DOOM anywhere in the video. Like not even the shot of Simmons pulling off his mask - nothing.
I mean... yeah it was probably a stretch to think you would put Reed in the Hall of Fame... ya know considering it is New Orleans and everything. And don't get me WELL HE WAS ARRESTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO!!!! Like that clearly matters to the WWE.
Anyway - here are Reed and Steamboat nearly killing themselves
