World Class Six-Man Tag Titles: The Fabulous Freebirds (Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy, Michael Hayes, & Buddy Roberts) © vs. Kamala, The Missing Link, & Super Destroyer #2 (Wild Bill Irwin) (3/30/84)

 

Freebirds are getting over as faces pretty big here. Gordy & Hayes look good on offense early but Hayes would get worked over before stomping on Kamala’s feet to turn the tide. Birds work over Link who does a fantastic selljob on a missed diving headbutt before tagging in D #2 after Buddy missed a diving elbow drop. Buddy would soon fall prey to the heels especially Kamala who just pounded him then threw him into the Link’s head. Buddy would finally get the hot tag to Gordy though who cleans house along with Hayes turning this into a straight brawl but Kamala would get the advantage over Gordy though just peppering him with chops. The heels would keep Gordy in their corner so they could cheat as Hayes tried to jump in to help keeping Bronko Lubich occupied but Gordy would try to fight back with his charge ending quick with a missed running shoulderblock into the ringpost. Gordy would get the tag to Hayes though who came in blazing away before Kamala would go for his throat. The match breaks down into a brawl again with Hayes going for D’s mask until Akbar clubs him. D holds up Hayes for a Link diving headbutt but of course Hayes ducks and D goes down with Hayes pinning him. This was very fun especially with the Birds as faces and it goes on the block.

Gordy looks great early on. Hayes stomping Kamala's bare feet was gold. I liked Super Destroyer's modified atomic drop on Roberts. Hell Roberts FIP work was great. Hell even Gordy's FIP work was strong. I thought this was a fun sprint that I feel was a low end nomination. I'll sign off on KrisZ nomination. Coming out of this bout I want to see a Kamala/Gordy singles bout.

This is exactly the kind of wild, out-of-control brawl that I love. Absolutely belongs, and I could see this as a top 20 pick on my ballot.

Hayes/Roberts/Gordy vs. Missing Link/Kamala/Super Destroyer #2

 

I thought this was kick ass bell to bell action. It's always cool to the birds as faces in Texas. Plus we get a fun finish. I'll give this a nomination.

Hayes/Roberts/Gordy vs. Missing Link/Kamala/Super Destroyer #2 WCCW 4/21/84

- This is like an ROH scramble match with guys hitting big moves after big move. Sometimes the action is a little awkward but it is always moving. I loved the big headbutt miss from Link and even Kamala coming in to help prevent Buddy from gaining control. All six guys brawl at the end and Roberts ends up with the pin after Link accidentally nails SD2 with the headbutt. This was tons of fun. I support a nomination. There wasn’t a lot of depth but I think people will enjoy it.

I really dug the way they played with structure here. It's layed out like a classic formula tag match, but there is so much chaos going on throughout that it never really feels like a formula match. And man, was that some great chaos. I third the nomination easily.

These are the same.
