10 Best Wrestling Stable Wars
2. The Von Erichs Vs. The Fabulous Freebirds
On Christmas Day 1982, in a match with Kerry Von Erich against Ric Flair, special guest referee Michael Hayes fired the first shots in the legendary war against the Von Erich clan.
As Terry Gordy slammed a cage door on Kerry's head, The Fabulous Freebirds likely didn’t know they'd just incited a five year war, otherwise they may have reconsidered.
While many stable battles have been great additions to a wrestling card, the Von Erichs vs. The Freebirds lit WCCW on fire, giving them a huge feud that raked in a ton of money, solidified the family as the greatest heroes around, and lead to one incredible story.
Real-life tragedies cut the lengthy feud short, otherwise due to the extreme heat (and money) the angle generated it, they might still be rolling on to this day.
