Episode 389: The Freebird Rule Michael "PS" Hayes, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy, & Buddy "Jack" Roberts were the 3 man team known as The Fabulous Freebirds. In 1980 when they debuted in Georgia Championship Wrestling, they introduced a new concept in tag team wrestling; where if you are a 3 man(or more) team, you can use any 2 members at a time & your opponent doesn't know what 2 you're using. This applied with regular matches, but in the case of this episode championship matches. The Freebird Rule was popularized by The Freebirds, but used by many different units in wrestling since the introduction of the rule. It's also been used for singles championships as well as Six Man/Trios championships. This episode is all about the history of the Freebird Rule; the factions who held tag team titles, the teams that held singles titles, the factions that held trios titles, different versions to the rule(Wolfpac, Triad, etc.), as well as the gray area when it comes to the Freebird Rule. 0:00 Introduction Factions Holding Tag Team Titles 0:55 The Fabulous Freebirds(Georgia, World Class, Mid South, WCW) 1:45 The Midnight Express(Southeast) 2:32 The Russian Team(NWA) 2:57 Demolition(WWF) 3:32 The Suicide Blondes(ECW) 4:07 The Heavenly Bodies(Smoky Mountain Wrestling) 4:38 Camp Cornette(WWF) 5:21 The Wolfpac(WCW) 6:14 nWo Wolfpac(WCW) 6:52 nWo Hollywood(WCW) 7:45 The Jersey Triad(WCW) 8:41 Triple X(TNA) 9:12 3 Live Kru(TNA) 9:39 Team Ca$h(CZW) 10:09 The Spirit Squad(WWE) 10:43 The Dudebusters(FCW) 11:09 The Beautiful People(TNA) 11:43 The Band(TNA) 12:09 The New Day(WWE) 13:01 Cerberus(wXw) 13.26 The Wyatt Family(WWE) 13:59 Sanity(NXT) 14:27 The Undisputed Era(NXT) 15:02 The Hart Foundation(MLW) 15:28 The Death Dollz(TNA) 15:50 The Bloodline(WWE) 16:14 The Elegance Brand(TNA) Teams Holding Singles Titles 16:37 Chris Jericho & Chyna(WWF Intercontinental Championship) 17:15 3 Count(WCW Hardcore Championship) 17:32 Crowbar & Daffney(WCW Cruiserweight Championship) 17:56 The Mamalukes(WCW Hardcore Championship) 18:13 Michael Shane & Kaz
