14. The Fabulous Freebirds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfSCVfGH1As Yes, Michael Hayes has been with the company as a non-wrestler since 1995, but he had a cup of coffee with the WWF in 1984 as they were expanding nationally. On the heels of Cyndi Lauper getting them a ton of publicity, the WWF wanted rock and roll wrestlers to be associated with her. With Hayes trying to kickstart a singing career, who better than Hayes and his partners, Buddy Roberts and Terry Gordy? It lasted a few weeks, with a handful of matches on weekly TV and televised house shows. Hayes lasted a few weeks longer. They just didn't fit with the WWF, either stylistically or backstage.
