Smith Hart on Talk Is Jericho - EP239

Michael "PS" Hayes and Jimmy Garvin are telling some freakin' hilarious Fabulous Freebirds stories as they celebrate the Birds induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. They remember and pay tribute to their brothers, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and Buddy "Jack" Roberts. The revolutionary Freebirds were the first to use ring entrance music, and you'll hear how that happened, and you'll hear why their feud with the Von Erichs made Texas such a red hot territory. Michael PS Hayes shares some of Buddy's crazier ribs and traveling moments, and Jimmy explains how Terry nearly blew up Dallas' Love Field. And you'll find out why neither the Birds or Jimmy Garvin ever had much of a run at WWE.
