Freebird Buddy Roberts Dies at age 65

Sad news today as Buddy Roberts (real name Dale Hey) member of the legendary Fabulous Freebird, has passed away at age 65.  Good article from "The Bleacher Report"  click here
Along with Michael "P.S." Hayes and Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy they formed one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history.  Their feud with Von Erichs in Texas in the 1980s hey days of World Class Championship Wrestling is thing of legend.

Roberts retired from the ring in 1990 with the closing of WCCW but he lives on in the memories of fans who saw him and the other Freebirds spread havoc through the 80s.
