I can only imagine how fun going to those World Class shows were! Back when this world was such a better place! I get a lot of enjoyment hearing these stories ❤

David Von Erich put Jimmy Garvin over in a clean pin for the Texas title. Jimmy's perfect response when the fans would cheer, "Go, David, Go!" was always, "He's not going anywhere!". Great heel.

Great stuff! These guys are all legends that paid their dues big time!

It's sad the way the world has turned into. I have just found you're channel John, fellow Texan here. RIP Buddy and Terry

Thank you for taking back to a happy place in my childhood. I grew up just south of Ft. Worth

Great show about the memories of World Class Championship Wrestling.

My Dad and i shared our fun of WCCW .TEXAS ❤

I remembered World Class Championship Wrestling coming on tv while living in Brooklyn New York.

Michaels hair looks like Moppi, which was the name of the mop in the match with Saturn.

Loved this interview!!

We Stole your Gimmick (The Missouri Bad Boys) . We used the any 3 could wrestle lol . Loved the Freebirds !!!

Von Erichs had Jimmy out at the Von Rrich ranch washing the dog and the cars 😊 Funny stuff 😅

Thank you for this great interview!

Incredible stuff. This was such was a pleasure to listen to from beginning to end. Thanks to all of you for sharing these amazing stories with us.

@@johnlayfieldshow I love this podcast freebirds are the best but my problem is i cant hear that much it could be a audio problem

Jimmy Garvin actually started in Florida as a heel manager under the name of Beau. James and managed Ray Stevens that was when I became a fan of the business

Michael trying to figure out the sound thing is hilarious. Looks like a confused old man 👴

Man am I glad I came I came across this video. Huge Freebird fan and this video did not disappoint. Great work Guys

Michael Hayes...genius electric jokester. And always smiling

I remember seeing Jack and Jerry in Tallahassee when I was a kid, wrestling from the 80s back was the best.

Black Bart said Fritz turned it down because he didn't think his kids were ready for worldwide TV

Thank you JBL for all that you do . This was a great podcast.

The fabulous freebird and Von Erichs had rivalries in the 1980s....

Rest in Peace Terry Gordy and Buddy Jack Roberts

I would love to hear more Freebird stories with Brisco and Bradshaw!

Originally from San Angelo, watched WCCW on KTTV out of DFW every Sat night. I loved to hate the Freebirds...lol Freebirds Von Erichs to me was the best long running feud ever. I swear you could have just those two groups show up anywhere in TX, and the joint would be packed. People would go watch them just argue on the mic all night. And the fans would go nuts. But I also loved the Great Kabuki, The Missing Link, Bruiser Brody Ice Man King Parsons, JYD. I believe Andre was there for a while to. Really miss those Saturday nights.

I was at the Fanfest in Charlotte!!

These stories involving alcohol is eerily similar to my US Navy stories that also involve alcohol. Spartanburg sounds like Hong Kong Gainsville could be Perth, Australia Richmond reminds me of Singapore The only question would be: who could drink who under the table? That's a question Mr. Owl does not have enough Tootsie Pops to find the answer with.

Being a Farmer Pro Wrestler there are 3 Big Pops in the Business. Of course you have the Austin’s Broken Glass and The Road Warrior’s Pop. But as a Heel most of my career I always wanted to get the “Go Home Freebirds” Pop. Turns of Real legit Heat. Lost Art in the Business Today.

The Fabs used Everybody wants you, before the freebirds.

So entertaining. Could listen to road stories for hours. Only flaw was Briscos lack of mutton chops. But overall it has the feel of eve's dropping on 4 old friends reunited and reminiscing and its F'in awesome.

Bad Street is my kinda Street!

Adrian Street had Ms. Linda.

Michael didn't go to any trouble to look good for this.

I wouldn't try Gerry for all the money in the world. I was in a establishment in Baltimore and the boy's came in the bar and my gosh if I had died that night my life was complete.

Guys you really need to invest in good microphones.

PS Hayes looks ridiculous. It’s time to shave the skullet bro!!!

Looking at Micheal the only thing one can think is bad street Atlanta GA Mike's promos man over play flipping the hair walking around the ring 💩 the promo Ric flair I'm tired of saying he's sir , no sir to you .
