Posted March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659225 Kris is joined by Will from Pro Wrestling Only and Pete from the Titans of Wrestling podcast to discuss the legendary career of The Fabulous Freebirds (Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy, Michael “PS” Hayes, & Buddy “Jack” Roberts.) We discuss the beginnings of the group and how they evolved into one of the most legendary acts in wrestling history. Listen to us pontificate on the guys from Badstreet U.S.A. http://placetobenation.com/exile-on-badstreet-1-the-life-times-of-the-fabulous-freebirds/
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659228 Haven't heard this yet but I hope part 1 is just Pringle and Hayes watching Gulf Coast together.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659230 I will say that KrisZ does an incredible breakdown of the Freebirds as a team. The level of detail is amazing. I've never been on a show where I've been awed at the level of knowledge someone brings in such detail. This is a can't miss podcast.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659231 It's a damn shame Tenay stole the professor title. With Solie dead, Kris Z can be the Dean of PWO.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659239 A welcome addition to the PWO-PTBN network this, KrisZ was really part of the regular crew on rotation anyway, so it made sense for him to have his own vehicle. V. interested to listen.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659242 Is the Vehicle called "Ladies and Gentle,en, I present you with...."
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659260 It's a cool name for sure. I echoed the same thing on Twitter earlier, Parv. We've always been fortunate to have Kris be an active part of the site with the reaction shows, and numerous guest spots on the PWO-PTBN feed. Then Pete shoots me a message last night that he's wrapping a Zellner (!) show on the Freebirds and, well, that was pretty exciting all around. Welcome aboard my friend.
March 18, 201510 yr Author comment_5659261 Yeah I am grateful for the PTBN guys to host this and I plan on having some really great shows in the future with a wide variety of topics and guests.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659270 Fifty minutes in, I have already learned so fucking much and I did a podcast on the Freebirds in Georgia! Love the tidbits on the Freebirds in Mempho and have added that to need to track down.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659289 This and the news of an upcoming NWA Classics network has made this day pretty damn awesome. Cant wait to listen.
March 18, 201510 yr comment_5659296 This and the news of an upcoming NWA Classics network has made this day pretty damn awesome. Cant wait to listen. What's this? Essentially a New Japan World, WWE Network type service. No idea what type of footage will be on it although most think a lot of 70's/80's Houston.
March 19, 201510 yr Author comment_5659325 Time was getting real long so we had to cut short on the Hayes/Garvin era of the Birds but they were treated like a joke most of that run anyway.
March 19, 201510 yr comment_5659326 I'm only an hour in but I was hoping for a long discussion on Big Daddy Dink.
March 19, 201510 yr Author comment_5659331 Yeah we never mentioned the fact that they lost the WCW Tag Titles before they won them on TV either
March 19, 201510 yr comment_5659345 You should just do a show called Exile On Badstreet from now on just about The Freebirds. Do a half hour to an hour show on just one match and segments with guests. Basically, The Freebirds Podcast. There's a wealth of footage and things to talk about. It could be a running series. Shit, I listen to a show called Star Wars minute where guys do a podcast where each show they talk about one minute of screen time from a Star Wars movie.
March 19, 201510 yr comment_5659400 45 minutes in and I love it. Couple questions: 1) How much prep / research went into getting ready for this show? 2) What topics are you considering for subsequent episodes?

My first couple of posts in this thread was assuming that this was the case.

Show prep for me was about 30 minutes....a lot of this was by memory. Other topics will be historical and current...not giving away my secrets
March 20, 201510 yr comment_5659608 Great show Kris. I can't remember it exactly now, but when we did the GCW Titans shows, I worked out the timeline of the bookers. They had a series of very short runs. It's something like: Ernie Ladd in 1979 (under Ole) Ole in 1980 Watts / Buck Robley for 8 weeks in late 80 (booking UWF same time) Robert Fuller in 81 George Scott actually had a little run in here in 81 after Fuller Ole Anderson from late 81 till the end (booking Crockett at same time until Dory in 82-3)
March 20, 201510 yr Author comment_5659622 Robley booked in 1981 that's when Brody and Patera came in through him. Robley also had the book for a short time in 1983 also when Brody was around....notice the trend
