The Fabulous Freebirds Expected For WWE Hall Of Fame 2016

The Fabulous Freebirds are considered a lock to be WWE Hall of Famers in 2016, according to a report from PWInsider. The group consisted of Michael Hayes as the leader along with Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts with Jimmy Garvin also an ally of the trio. With next year's WrestleMania taking place in the Dallas, Texas area, it makes sense to induct the Freebirds there since they were among the biggest stars in the Texas area in the 1980s, often feuding with the Von Erich family. Steve Austin speaks fondly about wanting to be a wrestler because of that feud. The group's name came from the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Free Bird" and they were introduced as residing in Badstreet, USA. WWE is currently using the "Freebird Rule" with The New Day as Tag Team Champions because that means that any two of the three guys can compete in a match as representatives of the team. Hayes, who used the PS (Pretty Sexy) moniker as a nickname, recently celebrated 20 years of employment with WWE. He's the head of the road agents/producers in WWE and is a key figure in WWE's creative process. WWE recently had a party to celebrate Hayes' 20th year with WWE. When he started out in WWE 20 years ago, he was known as Dok Hendriks the announcer, but he is most well known as Michael Hayes. Hayes is featured in a lot of WWE DVDs talking about backstage interactions and plans such as with CM Punk among others. Gordy passed away in 2001 due to heart attack and Roberts died in 2012 due to pneumonia. Hayes is 56 years old and is a great promo man, so it should be a very interesting speech.
