What a wonderful tribute to Terry Gordy. The Freebirds defined greatness in wrestling back in the 1980’s and literally brought many territories back to life.

I miss, like really miss the 80's. Especially watching wrestling with my Dad every weekend. I miss the NWA, AWA, WccW, (old)-WCW, and the other territories. The Road Warriors, Free Birds, Von Erich's, Gino Hernandez, Chris Adams, Jim Garvin and Sunshine, Koloff's, Midnight Expreess, Midnight Rockers, Midnight Rockers, etc.....Those were great times and great wrestling. The guys and gals today will never ever match up to those old dogs.

this tribute was heartfelt. he did his boy true justice. especially pouring out the liquor. can't hate on that. That something special between him and his brother. RIP Terry Gordy. well done PS.

I was able to meet Terry Gordy when I was 12 (1986). He was an uncle to a childhood friend that I grew up with in East Lake( downtown Chattanooga, about 2 miles from where he's buried). I can still remember shaking his hand,, it was twice the size of a normal hand. Always loved the freebirds

What a touching tribute to a dear friend. The Freebirds were awesome.

A Great tribute to Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy... Well done Michael Hayes...I get teary eyed watching this.

man this song pulls at my emotions. watching these guys perform back in the day was the greatest thing ever. its sad that todays wrestling fans wont get the chance to feel what we did in the 80's watching these guys show boat around,strutting and moonwalking. the fabulous freebirds were the best entertainers in the industry. thanks guys for all you have done for us through the years.

Michael not only have you lost Terry and now Buddy, you have watched a lot of guys leave, many who left too soon. Reality has placed you now in the position along with guys like Kevin Von Erich, Sting, Undertaker and others in a position of being the elder statesmen of the business. Keep sharing your memories with the young guys.

God, I miss seeing Terry, Michael, and Buddy as well as Jimmy Jam. This song made a tear fall down. I'm not gonna lie. Terry, you are missed by everyone.

You take a drink and pour out one for those who aren't with us in person. That's how you do it. My dad taught me that and now I'm doing it when I visit him. ❤️

What a great tribute to his brother. Freebirds forever.

It is hard to believe that it’s been a little over 20 years now. I have the pleasure of knowing Michael and Terry for close to 50 years. Terry’s dad, daughters and nephew. I actually spoke with Terry the night before he passed. He had his faults as do we all but a better friend I’ve never had.

Even if it’s this song or the original song it brings tears to my eyes

An awesome tribute to Terry Gordy.

I listen to this everyday loved the free birds Badstreet USA the further down the block the rougher it got...RIP bam bam and buddy thank you PS...

Michael Hayes did a great job on this tribute song to his brother Terry Gordy and to the people with negative comments about this should have kept their snide comments to themselves instead of making jokes about a person mourning the loss of a loved one. It really just amazes me how classless people are in today's time. I guarantee these people wouldn't be joking about this if it was one of their loved ones.

I can proudly say that I was around when the freebirds were big, and I loved every minute of it! And I miss wcw/nwa every day of my life! Times were hard, but not like today. And despite everything, those were the days when seeing a wrestling event made life worth living! Especially if you were lucky enough to see a live event!

Wow he got an awesome voice and the song is so heart felt ....

The Freebirds vs the Von Erichs is my all-time favorite feud. With the unimaginable tragedies that surround the Von Erich family it's easy for me to forget that Terry Gordy also passed away far too soon at only 40 years old. He was one of the toughest guys in wrestling and as a huge fan of the Von Erichs as a kid I feared him every time he got into the ring with one of them because I knew he was going to do some damage to my heroes lol. RIP Bam Bam

I can't get enough of this. RIP TERRY!

I love this song, BEAUTIFUL I'm a Hayes and the Freebirds were MAGICAL. THANK YOU MICHAEL

Dammit. I teared from the beginning. Those types of relationships/brotherhoods come only once in a lifetime, some dont get it at all. Ive been blessed to have experienced it. And lost one of those relationships when he passed a few years back. I can feel PS's pain and love

what a beautiful touching tribute Michael Hayes gave to Terry bam bam gordy!!!!

Michael PS Hayes. You sir did the ultimate tribute to BamBam in my humble opinion here. He was no question one of the absolute best. And certainly one of the best bigger guys in the wrestling world. And I know that if he were here today and in a matter of speaking in his prime. He could damn sure go toe to toe with anyone on any given night. He had some of the most legendary matches ever with "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Those 2 bulls going at one another. Was a site to see. I only wish that I would have had the honor of seeing Terry as well as Buddy in person. But I am certainly glad that I at the very least got to see them on tv. Weather you loved or hated The Freebird. There was no denying how damn good they was.

I’ve followed the Birds all my life...even took their handle in my youth...how did I not know about this until now? This choked me up more than the Johnny Van Zant original! I wish I had known them, they were the baddest dudes ever and influenced my life and career choice as a musician so much even though they were wrestlers. BEAUTIFUL tribute to the late, great Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy! Fly high FOREVER Freebirds! 💛🙏✝️👊👊👊

My introduction to wrestling was around Wrestlemania 5, I was seven years old. My brother and I watched any wrestling that came on tv and I remember the Free Birds clearly. When you're that young you don't understand the concept of the business, but as I got older and especially as these legends began to leave us you realize just how special they were, rather face or heel. Terry Gordy is one of those legends, wonderful tribute from Michael Hayes.

I hope Michael updates the song to mentions Buddy's passing. I doubt he'll include Brad/Badstreet since it was a short while and i have no idea if they were friends behind the scenes.

Terry Gordy's boot should have a spot all alone in the HOF. Even as heels The Fabulous Freebirds were living the life in WCCW. When the unthinkable started happening to the Von Erich's it was the FreeBirds who stepped up. They instantly went from the most hated in Texas to the most loved. Only four wrestlers passing away ever affected me. That would be David Von Erich, Buddy Roberts, Gino Hernandez, and Terry Gordy.

what a great tribute was never the biggest freebird fan but i know the heartfelt message mr hayes had for his brothers may you forever fly free mr gordy god bless you and rest in peace

Wonderful memories from back in the day. RIP to all who left us too soon. We all learned some hard lessons from the eighties about our own mortality. Glad Michael, Jimmy and Kevin are still with us and doing well.

Michael we all indeed have missed Terry, and I got to give you full credit that this was one good song from the heart I salute you , and specially to the Fabulous Freebirds with the song that Lynard Skynard really sang that song, and I always hear it. It's like remembering you guys.

I love going back...back to Freedom Road...............R.I.P BamBam

I'm not the biggest fan of PS Hayes, but I have nothing but the utmost respect for the man. He gave his boy Terry Gordy a truly heartfelt tribute. A tribute not just to a legend, but an icon.

Just seen the trailer for The Iron Claw...oh my gosh the memories. I always said the best feud ever in professional wrestling was Von Erich/Fabulous Freebirds.

Thankful we still got Kevin and Michael around. This is wrestling...and these men were the best at it. Hopefully PS reads this...thank you for some great memories. BADSTREET USA !

Very fitting that they used the music of the Van Zant Brothers about Ronnie. There all freebirds now. My life is better just to have been so entertained by lynryd skynyrd and Terry Gordy. In both instances they had to leave us way too soon. May they all R.I.P.✝️😪

Great tribute! This is also his version of Brickyard Road by Johnny Van Zant who is the brother of the original singer in Lynyrd Skynyrd who also made the song free bird.

Once announced at some very very small Indy shows that featured Terry while he was recovering from his mid air near fatal accidental overdose while aboard a plane. Terry forty was a very kind man and never talked down to anyone. One of the kindest people I ever met in any way and along with Bob Armstrong was for sure the kindest in a wrestling industry that has its share of arrogant people. But, not Terry. This is a touching tribute by Michael's. Terry gordy will be missed for a long time for sure.

WCW and WWF and ECW had the greatest matches ever RIP Terry Gordy he will be remembered in all fans across the globe

Nothing was perfect in those days, but still was some good times.

Good tune and footage. Terry was gone was too soon, R.I.P. I hope somebody uploads the Freebirds promo when he was all "KEEP YAW HANDS AWF MAH VAN!!!"

there will never be any other stable team that couldn't be better than the Fabulous Free Birds period...

What great times they must've shared together. As fans, we only got a tiny glimpse of it. Imagine the stories.... Thanks for the memories, and the heartfelt tribute...
