During the latest episode of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Jim Ross commented on Ron Simmons and Butch Reed teaming as Doom in WCW, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Doom unmasking to reveal Ron Simmons and Butch Reed: “If it worked really, really well, it was barely working really, really well. I think we were so far down the road that unmasking wrestlers got to be kind of old hat. Predictable. Predictability can be a blessing and a curse in pro wrestling, without question. The unmasking – if it had been Mr. Wrestling II that had a mask on forever and ever and ever or something like that – that’s a different effect. The farther you travel down that road, the less special it has become. But it was time to step forward with those guys. Reed and Ron – they looked awesome and were really, really good workers, especially Reed at that time. He was ahead of Ron in the maturation process because he had more experience and travel. Both were really good athletes, and I don’t know any team I worked with that looked better on an 8×10 than Doom…..I would’ve preferred them to stay with the mask a little longer to make the unmasking have more significance.”
