A team like the Freebirds only come once in a life time. Theye were the baddest of the bad. It's past time they were recognized and put in the hall of fame. The Freebirds ran over every team in the business and couldn't be stoped. The wrestling world will never see their like again. Long live the Fabulous Freebirds.
@gldtng0867 even being heels, The Freebirds besides of being bad motherfuckers they were legitimately tough, spreading terror any where they invaded like a scourge
thinkin that with hotlanta being the host of wrestlemania, it's time that P.S., Bam Bam and Buddy Jack get their due. Innovators, Orignals, Hell Raisers, Barn-Burners and massive amounts of mayhem describe the most orginal tag team ever!
Him and Williams were one of my favorite tag teams. Its a shame WCW saw fit to want to make them go back to Japan. They couldve milked the feud with the Steiner Bros for years to come/stolen numerous shows as well.
The greatest team in wrestling history the FREEBIRDS and no disrespect to the Horsemen,hey Vince why the hell ain`t the Birds in the Hall,RIP Terry Bamm Bamm Gordy miss ya brother.
Isn't his son Jesse/Slam Master J? 2 equally shitty gimmicks. Can't they just let him be Terry Gordy's son? Throw in Hayes as his manager. Hayes is even head writer of Smackdown yet we have Jesse on there as a jobber. Throw a dog a fucking bone.
Terry Gordy was damn good just wished I could have seen him against a few greats like the Undertaker,Stone cold,Sid Vicious,ect.Bam Bam was a monster and legend before those guy got started.He was not used right until the Uwf.He got 2 shine a single wrestler.Damn he was tough!
hey ray {jesse] was surfing the web tonight looked u up on wwe & found u friend called tony in here to watch u "HE SAID CANT BELIVE U GREW UR HAIR OUT !!!!} if u see this give us a shout pam&tony 706-229-9387 we love u u look good glad u made it buddy
i feel the wwe has direspect for the gordy,s. they put terry in the executioner role in 97 instead of letting him be himself, then buried him and fired him, they should have left him ecw where he was getting over ,then they dont let jr be himself either, yet dibiase ,rhodes orton, the somans etc can gordy was a better wrestler than anyone mentioned,
Yeah, wrestling is a show and all that, but Gordy is one guy you wouldn't want to get pissed off while he's shitfaced down in a Dixie bar. One of the Greats! RIP.
Terry Gordy was a pretty good worker, and I think he could've made in the wwe as the a top babyface, you know the babyface that isn't good looking but can still establish a connection with the fans, like a mick foley, or an Undertaker.
They were one of my favorite tag teams of all time. This is a good one to pay tribute to Gordy. He was the most solid one from a wrestling standpoint. That could be forgotten since Michael Hayes was such a strong personality.
Terry Gordy early in his carreer was in memphis and what a splash he made with Michael Hays I cant wait to see them in Heaven I remember two wrestlers whose car broke down and were trying to hitch a ride instead Mike and Bam beat them up somewhere along the way to the studio so these other wrestlers had to give an interveiw covered in blood. What a performance Terry RIP Micheal Hays must have been heart broken upon learning about his death
I really miss you, Gordy. You were an American Pro-wrestling in 80's itself . You broke into wrestling business in your teens and established unique personality. There is ONLY ONE Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy. Mid South, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, and Tokyo, Japan. You are living inside my heart.
Hey Speedbuggy, Which one is Terry Gordy's son...Jesse or Festus? I never would have thought that one of those characters could be related to a Freebird!
Jesse is Terry's kid. I find that weird because they dotn look much alike (though they do have the same cheeks in their face) and they dont even have a similar wreslgin style. Jesse always reminded me of Owen Hart with his look and his style of promos.
Ive got a version of freebird but with altered lyrics about the fabulous freebirds, talks through how they started etc does anybody know anything about it???
Or where i can find the lyrics?? when it was written etc??
The version i got as a chorus says "Im a freebird forever, you cant change me, no not ever"
I will have a go over the weekened, havent ever done uploading before (Im a bot of a technophobe!!) but ill have a go over the weekend and see the end results.
While Hayes was the soul of the Freebirds, Gordy was the Heart. Not to mention Gordy was 1 half of one of the best gajin teams ever in AJPW. RIP & Thank you Terry
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah Terry Gordy, you'll be remembered.......if you're south of the Mason-Dixon line. Plus "Freebird" was never meant to be a wrestler's theme song. It doesn't have that uptempo feel that a theme song should have. Now "Kashmir" would've been a good theme song for someone.
I can't even begin to put into words how much I miss Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and the rest of the Fabulous Freebirds. Wrestling today can't hole a candle to them. Roberts- best little sneaky guy, Gordy - fastest, quickest, nastiest big man, Hayes-great instigator, BEST EVER interview, and really, one of a kind. I miss the Freebirds terribly, and Gordy specifically. Oh, what might have been. Easily the best ever. Easily.
Terry Gordy was probably the most underrated Wrestler of the Modern Era..The day he passed away the business lost a true legend..Freebird Ride on..Hope you and the Von erichs and Brusier brody are having a good time watching from heaven.....
Thanks so much for posting this! The most fun I've ever had was seeing the Von Erich's/Freebirds-couldn't sleep for days before & after the matches! Shared a funnel cake w/Terry once...very sweet man-drunk...but very sweet!
God I miss you so much bamm bamm and I selfishly wish you could be here now to teach these young guys how its done. You are now in the big ring in the sky and watching after your freebird brothers Buddy and Michael.
Who would you rather not face in a honkey tonk...HOGAN or Gordy. Easy...Gordy was one bad SOB and a REAL wrestler. No messing around. He was tough. Common man. No frills. He was GREAT. Freebirds were the greatest tag team of the 80's. They were the first to use the entrance music which everybody now uses. They were pioneers of tag team wrestling. Nice video here and thanks to the director for putting this together.
Most user made wrestling/MMA highlight videos make think that the poster should get a job so he doesn't have so much time on his hands. This was an exception--just an excellent compilation and a great tribute to a legend...
What an awesome tribute to Terry Gordy. The Freebirds had the greatest 6 man matches in the history of wrestling. I grew up watching them and they were the BEST!
His battles with Killer Khan were classic...some of the nastiest and bloodiest matches in my memory. Terry Gordy was one tough redneck! Great production on this tribute video.
Nice tribute, particularly the end where he and Kerry shook hands.
Forget Lawler, Orndorff, and others. Gordy delivered one of the best and most devestating piledrivers ever (as Ted Dibiase can attest to!). His large size and athletic ability made the impact look really bone crunching, if not crippling. Ouch.
Bam Bam was the best bumping big man of the 80's bar none! He went out of his way to make the Von Erichs look like stud heroes, especially Kerry. P.S was the leader and Buddy Jack was the glue but Terry Gordy was the heart and soul of the Freebirds.
Awesome video I'd love to post it on my Myspace. I'm a wrestling ref, and I have several tributes to guys I've known over the years on my site. Email me at my site at
Oh yeah do you have that match beyween Killer Khan,and Gordy,I remeber that angle,where Killer Khan turned on the Freebirds and that started a feud between Skandar Akbar and the Freebirds.
Man this was so awesome,I sure hope you post more,the freebirds and The 4 Horsemen,were my favorites of all time,along with Bruiser Brody. GREAT STUFF HOPE TO SEE MORE!!
I agree with everyone so far. This is a great great video. I would suggest maybe using windows movie maker to adjust the brightness level a good bit though since the video is very dark in a great many places and since you obviously have so much respect for Gordy, you might want your tribute to look as good as possible on youtube. At any rate, thanks a lot for sharing this.
This Is An Awesome Video Tribute To Terry Gordy...I Have Been A Fan Of The Von Erich's & Freebirds For Many Many Years Now...They Made Me What I Am Today, A Professional Wrestler... Im So Happy To Come To This Site & See That The Memories Of World Class Are Still Very Much Alive... God Bless You Terry & May You Rest In Peace My Friend!!! Thank You For Who Ever Posted This Video Tribute... http://vonerichdynasty.cjb.net
This man was BORN 2 be a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER. Without Terry, there would have been no Freebirds. ! of the GREASTEST OF ALL TIME.
