Technically Hayes isn't the only Freebird living, but i see what you're getting at about him outliving Gordy & Roberts.

I never liked Jimmy Garvin in the Freebirds though.

A lot of old subs and tag team moves. I got so much love for the rowboat I really wish a current team would put it back into rotation. It might be good for a comedy team like PTP if they weren't busy being buried.

Also when Hart started busting out the turnbuckle figure four and eating the DQs it blew my 8 year old mind.

That was quite an interesting list. Good choices for the list all around, but i especially dug them highlighting the Indian Deathlock, the Stump Puller, the Discus Punch, the Spinning Toe Hold & the Octopus Stretch. At that, whoever did the list quite impressed me with the reference to Clarence Eklund (as well as Homer Wright) in the Octopus article. That one gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Yeah, but obviously WWE's not gonna take that into account.

Sheamus has been using the Texas Cloverleaf as of late.

I was born at the ass-end of 1968. I have been happily married since 1993, and have 3 kids. I am a dentist, and graduated from dental school in 1998. I have lived in Oklahoma all my life, except for my first year of college in east Tennessee. I am a big Oklahoma Sooner fan. I have been a life-long fan of pro wrestling, and I have been an MMA fan since UFC 1. I used to religiously watch Mid-South and Georgia Championship Wrestling. I also got to see some All Star Wrestling from the Central States area (Bulldog Bob Brown, the DI (Bob Remus pre-Sarge), and Black Angus), as well as pretty frequent WCCW viewings. I spent a lot of summers in St. Louis, so I got to see Wrestling at the Chase. I loved it when the USA network used to show house-shows from the WWF! I got to see lots of Andre vs Big John Studd matches! I tried to catch the AWA on ESPN when I could. I don't watch much WWE now, but I still enjoy it when I get to see it. I went to a WWF show at the American Airlines arena in Dallas, headlined by SCSA vs the Rock. We had great floor seats, and I went hoarse yelling "Old School" at the Undertaker.

I have been a life-long gamer, and I still spend way too much time with computer games. I have been teaching myself to play guitar since 2007, and still suck hard. I did teach myself guitar maintenance and set-up skills. I read a lot of comic books as a kid, so I got into City of Heroes, and played it for 8 damned years. With its demise, I have picked up Champions Online. I am not a big fan of FPS games, but I do play some of them. I hate playing them on the Xbox 360! WASD FTW!

That may be the 1st Angus Campbell mention on Sherdog. Nice.

I view Jimmy Garvin as something that never happened. Even as a snot nosed kid, i was in awe of Terry Gordy in the ring. Buddy could hold his own. I always liked when Hayes was in the manager role so to speak with Buddy and Terry in the ring

To be fair he has improved but that isn't saying much since he stunk so bad in the beginning. #travelcoffeemug
