...TG Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Man, if a wrestling pimp is problematic, wait until some bored journalist not in WWE's pocket decides to do some googling of Michael Hayes... Quote
fakeplastictrees Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 So WWE inducts Michael Hayes in its HOF during Black History Month? Surely this is a rib on everyone involved right? Quote
goc Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 The HOF is in February? This is the last day of the month, is it coming on after Raw?? Quote
SteveJRogers Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Posted March 1, 2016 The HOF is in February? This is the last day of the month, is it coming on after Raw?? HOF has been night before 'Mania since 2004. Quote
SteveJRogers Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Posted March 1, 2016 Oh, I see it, FPT meant announcement of pending induction. Quote
shakla Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 So WWE inducts Michael Hayes in its HOF during Black History Month? Surely this is a rib on everyone involved right? Â Well, it was on the leap day. Barely made the month. Quote
hammerva Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Maybe they are going to induct Little Richard Marley with the Freebirds Quote
Strummer Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Can't believe Terry Gordy has been dead almost 15 years. Shit and he barely made 40. He was less than 10 years older than Jericho to put in perspective Quote
Coffey Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Excited for the Freebirds. They certainly deserve it. The Hayes speech is going to be SO LONG. Quote
sek69 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 It would be neat if they put up some Freebirds footage up on the Network to celebrate this occasion. Quote
RCS1988 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 It would be cool if they showed that rare Jimmy Garvin WWE interview from 1992 with Gene Okerlund. Quote
Coffey Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 It would be cool if they showed Garvin doing the "9-1-1" which was the Stone Cold Stunner, years before Austin was using it. Quote
C.S. Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 It would be cool if they showed that rare Jimmy Garvin WWE interview from 1992 with Gene Okerlund. What was this about? I don't remember Garvin ever being in the WWF during this time. When did his Freebird run with Hayes end? I could swear they were still doing that into '92, but memory is a tricky thing... Quote
PeteF3 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Garvin did a podium interview discussing the upcoming '92 Survivor Series from a heel perspective--predicting Flair & Razor would win their match and that Shawn would win the WWF title. It was a tryout of sorts for a non-wrestling role but it never came together for them. Â Garvin does the "9-1-1" during or after his match at SuperBrawl IV with Johnny B. Badd, so that's on the Network. Quote
sek69 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Hope no one in a mainstream media outlet assigned to do a puff piece on the WWE HOF finds the photo of the 'birds with the Confederate flag face paint. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Or that they blinded a black man back in 1980 Quote
Lee Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 Is there any footage of the Gordy & Garvin version of the team from 1994?Does anyone know anything about the "1st Annual Fabulous Freebirds Hot Fun in the Summer Time Golf Classic"? Quote
Lee Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Don't shoot the messenger, that's what was on the banner. Quote
C.S. Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Law, Order, and Justice get served to the WWE Hall of Fame with the induction of the Big Boss Man! Â Â http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwe-hall-fame/article/big-boss-man-inducted-wwe-hall-fame-class-2016 Quote
Coffey Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Love Boss Man. Well deserved. Shame he passed away & isn't there to accept. One of my favorite "big" guys over the years. He entertained me for a lot of years. He was damn funny when he wanted to be too. Quote
funkdoc Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 this is the kind of induction i see most fans comparing to Rikishi or the Godfather, but there's plenty of meat to his career that isn't widely known. as Kris & Bix are fond of pointing out, he was one of Hogan's top 5 drawing opponents on the house-show circuit! Â definitely a worthy pick. it's interesting to look at how well-timed his babyface turn was, considering the big political craze of that time was "LAW & ORDER" "TOUGH ON CRIME" etc. i definitely think that played a part in him getting as over as he did. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 He had a better heel run during the Attitude Era. He went to some really insane degrees to get heat, almost to the point of shamelessness but not going completely cringe-worthy. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Depending on who else is getting inducted, this already has the potential of being a very depressing show. Quote
