When I think of Terry Gordy,I think of World Class Championship Wrestling

@pooddescrewch8718 3 ай бұрын

I think of Midsouth . Its where they got their first big push and third member Dale Hay , Buddy Roberts

Buddy Jack Robert’s was great. He was the member who could take the beatings and be humiliated without killing their heat. He was great on the mic and is really underrated as an in ring worker.

@@JamesBuddell-fn6bz I saw the Freebirds before Buddy and can honestly say they needed him . They were so much better with him leading the match , Gordy cleaning house and Michael getting heat on the mic . People don’t realize that for the first couple of years he was a Bird he was the in ring general of the team . His experience was a huge factor in the Birds success

Terry Gordy...one of my all-time favorites! Growing up in Dallas, the Freebirds / Von Erich feud was such an awesome thing to watch! LOL....that Buddy Roberts headgear gimmick still cracks me up. It's pretty incredible how much heat the Freebirds generated...the Blinding the Dog angle was huge!

They had an incredible run and Gordy had an amazing life in wrestling. This one took a long time but it was worth it.

This early history of Terry and Michael explains why Michael, to this day, has such an unwavering love for Terry. He wrote a song called "Freebird Road" for Terry, and shot some of the video at Terry's grave. As a lifelong WCCW and Von Erich fan, I don't think WCCW would have become the smash hit it was without the Fabulous Freebird's coming on board. That's really when it exploded, and it was fantastic! Rest in peace, Bam Bam

It got me thinking about a "What if" scenario. What if Terry didn't leave with Michael over the pay dispute? It would have changed years of wrestling history.

I remember watching the free birds and von erichs sale out major sports areas 50 or 60 thousand fans that was a bunch of cash and they done it all over Texas.

Harry Thorntons NWA wrestling show with Nick Gulas is where I first saw Terry....and was a huge fan ever since. Nothing but LOVE and RESPECT. Thanks for the video.

I tried to reply to this but I guess it didn't go through. I appreciate that. It took a lot of work and hopefully I did him justice.

I named my one boy dog Terry Gordy Junior Jr. (He has sisters). A big ol' lug of a sweetheart. I named him well.

Gordy has been in my top 5 favorite wrestlers since the early '80's. Used to see him live weekly when he was UWF champion. A true natural.

His Japan work is legendary for a reason. He is an all time great professional wrestler

I learned through this Terry Gordy video that,there were some great wrestlers who wrestled in World Class Championship Wrestling but did not wrestle in the WWF

@AViewFromTheMiddle 3 ай бұрын

Go back and watch some of the Iceman King Parsons matches and interviews and you definitely see where The Rock got a lot of his influence.

Opening footage is from Monday,12/27/1982 (WCCW ) Fort Worth, Texas: Will Rogers Coliseum: WCCW Referee' Bronco Lubich: TV Time Remaining Match :King Kong Bundy battled Freebird Terry Gordy to Time Limit Draw

@AViewFromTheMiddle 3 ай бұрын

That is the right date, but it's not a body slam match. It was just TV time remaining. It's only about six minute long and ends in a time limit draw. Not a lot to it. They spend about half the match in a referee's stance pushing each other back and forth.

Took a lot of bumps in his career. Started too young at the end it caught up to the big man .

One huge loss of the 1980s was not bringing in the Freebirds to feud with the Horsemen in the late 80s/early 90s when they still were a 3 person team. I think that could have drawn BIG money but timing just never worked out and by the time all the right pieces were in place the Freebirds were a shell. of their former glory with it being Micheal and Jimmy Garvin.
