Crossbody of Work Episode 137: The Fabulous Freebirds

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

It is time to look at the career of one of the most influential tag teams of all time. Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts, and Jimmy Garvin were tremendous as the Fabulous Freebirds, and we’re looking at their legendary matches against groups including The Von Erich family. Plus we’re talking about their influence with rock music and the Freebird Rule. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:

• Uncle Kracker
• The Osmonds
• Baseball snacks
• Wrestlers singing
• Party All The Time

And a lot more.
