Superstar Sleeze Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Fabulous Freebirds vs Von Erichs - WCCW 2/18/83 Lumberjack Match Go home Freebirds! Now we get into the meat of the feud by watching some badass six man tag action. There is a great struggle between these two teams throughout the match. They did not make much use of lumberjack stipulation, but I do not hold that against them. The match starts with Kerry fighting off all three when Gordy is trying to get him in that corner. Kerry unloads on Hayes, who bumps out and thrown back in. David/Gordy is up next, Gordy has a really cool bump off top rope basically Vaderbombs himself and needs to be seen. Gordy was a massive bumper in this early on. OH HELL YEAH! Here comes Kevin with dropkicks galore. Roberts jumping knee to Kevin’s back, fucking asshole. Good heat segment by the Birds. Kevin always trying to get tag compliments it nicely. He tags in Kerry. Kerry gets in his licks with fire. Gordy drives him into the corner. Again, Roberts attacks illegally. They target Kerry’s arm. Hayes really nice arm work on Kerry using ropes and hammerlock backbreaker (that move should be cribbed). Gordy throws him through ropes. Robert/Kerry collision sets up the finish as they both tag out. David applies a sleeper on Gordy. Katie bar the door, there is a pier-six brawl a brewin! David apllies claw, Hayes hits from behind. Freebirds looks like they will win by hook and crook. I totally bite on this finish, but Gordy wants the piledriver first, but Kevin hits from behind. He puts David on top. 1-2-3! Love how the babyface fought fire with fire there. A good start to the six man tag wars definitely not a blowoff, but a damn solids double FIP tag with an innovative finish. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKWebb Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Gotta love those entrances too. Freebirds out with "Free Bird" and then the Von Erich's coming out with the crowd on fire to ZZ Top. There really is a big difference in finding the original footage with the music vs. watching on the Network. They come across as the biggest/coolest babyfaces on the planet with that crowd and "La Grange." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcg91 Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 A few minutes were clipped. Really nice match with an amazing crowd that chanted "go home Freebirds" with a lot of energy, with these fans the scheme was really easy as all they did worked. They didn't even rely too much on the usual lumberjacks spots, as the 6 men on the ring guaranteed enough action anyway. The von Erichs thrived on a double babyface in peril situation, with Kevin doing it better than anyone else here. Liked this all around, including the finish, despite not being completely satisfactory there will be time for better endings in this feud ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
