The Fabulous Freebirds were the original kick ass faction in wrestling. Make no bones about it people. In their heyday , they were leagues ahead of the Horsemen.
Rickey T Freebirds were straight up baddass... In WCCW they gave the Von Erichs a run for their money.. They had bravado charisma style brawn brains and guile. .the most legendary and iconic. ..Salute
@@med1965 That is the unsung truth . Terry was a natural but not main event ready , Hayes was an idea guy with the gift of gab but stunk in ring .Roberts was the work horse and heat magnet
13:03 Out of all the footage of Ga from back then, I wish just one would have that whole ad for the Omni! Didn't know how cool it would be to have someday, when we taped stuff in the 80s. Tried to save as much of the tape as we could ! 😂
Outside in the corner of Wrestling 2, Mr. Wrestling 1. Always wondered. This is really nostalgic and amazing footage! Thank you for sharing it with us. 🙏
LOL I didn't expect to see Mr. Saito on here. What's funny about it is, I have him teaming up with Mr. Fuji in my NWA tabletop wrestling game as the Orient Express managed by General Akbar. Which all a part of Akbar's "Foreign Legion" stable. lol
Honestly this is Wrestling gold...thanks for posting it.
I'm replying in 2023. YES! GOLD

Buddy Roberts, RIP, was the MVP of that team. RIP Terry Gordy too.
The Anderson Trio outdates the Fabulous Freebirds .

Ahead of the horseman? No way.
Funk and Ole were perfect as heels

Great stuff, the birds wore the black and pink before the Harts.

I MUST HAVE GONE TO WRESTLING HEAVEN.The wrestling of my childhood.Ga wrestling.
Norman Carr getting home as fast as I could from the skating rink in time to watch GCW.
I did the same exact thing. From winder ga.
When wresting actually included wrestling !
Steve Keirn really took it to Mr. Saito.
"That song is drivin' me wild man!"
Original Freebirds were so cool, 80's style.
Freebirds Von Erichs feud was great.
The Freebirds playing Skynyrd in Georgia 3 years after the plane crash…brilliant!
The way Funk says ‘are’ in “We are professionals” is with brilliant condescension.
RIP Mr Saito
Ironically about 2 years later Rougeau and Terry Taylor would have a brief feud over the Southern Heavyweight title in Memphis.
The glory days of late 70s and early 80s Georgia Championship Wrestling
Michael Hayes only 21 years old back then!!! ❤❤❤
Hayes imitating Jim Dandy from Black Oak Arkansas.

@26 `5 you did
TH-cam is the only place you can still hear The Fabulous FreeBirds actually come out to FreeBird! You won't find that on the WWE Network
Excellent
GCW had good believable jobbers.
Best wrestling from 1960 to 1990
Not too long after this keirn would find Stan Lane and the fabulous ones are born
there ain't nothing with four wheels we can't drive and there's nothing with four legs we can't ride ! Terry Gordy
Guy Mitchell vs Billy Robinson
A loaded sock, this is amazing !!

Gordon the Greatest.
Some memories from my early teens
They were the van Halen of wrestling
Take a trip down Badstreet Bambam for you brother
I think Jerry Roberts is a young Jacque Rougeau.
he is
Yup
Bill Irwin say "Jabroni" @40:23
Jerry Roberts = Jacques Rougeau Jr.
The first match they were actually wrestling!
Yes, it was a shoot
Keirn would not hook a leg for a pin if his life depended on it.
Face Kevin Sullivan? Alternate universe, for sure.
Look at jimmy hart!!!
I thought Guy Mitchell was Dr. Jerry Graham.
Looks just like Dr. Jerry
@@trevclark9840 He was "Gentleman" Jerry Valiant in the WWWF with Johnny And Jimmy.

The sleeper is a choke
He interupted terry funks bowling ball joke.

Ole called She. Hansen Hog Jaws Hansen lol
Looks like there were maybe 80 people in attendance.
At least they aren't a bunch of commie zoomers like the WWE crowd
Its nice to finally find a Mr Wrestling 2 match, thats not a squash!
33:38 "shut your black mouth"..
Gordon it's supleX, not suplay. This is not a french backdrop. lol
it's suplay - and that's the bottom line , cause Gordon Solie says so !!
Nope , suplay is right
Sometimes it sounded like he was saying souffle lol
