WWE Hall of Fame 2016 - The Fabulous Freebirds

February 29th 2016

The WWE has announced that it will induct the Fabulous Freebirds into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania weekend 2016 in Dallas TX.   Very fitting since the Freebirds gained world wide fame in Texas battling the Von Erichs in match after bloody match.

Congratulations to Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin (who was technically a Freebird) the only living members.  Sadly we have lost Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts but they will be vividly remembered that night.

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.
