2 out of 3 falls Six Man Tag Match for the WCCW Six Man Trophy: The Von Erichs (Kevin, David and Kerry) vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael "P.S." Hayes, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy and Buddy Roberts)
WCCW Saturday Night Wrestling - July 4, 1983
After the Freebirds screwed Kerry Von Erich out of the world title in December, a war started between the two factions that launched Texas wrestling into the stratosphere. They fought all throughout the year and this match is their biggest one to date. 12,000 fans jam packed the Dallas Sportatorium to witness a 2 out of 3 falls match for the Freebirds Six Man Trophy. The Freebirds enter to "Georgia On My Mind" by Willie Nelson to piss off the Texas crowd and it works like a charm. The crowd sounds like they're gonna kill the Freebirds. The mood immediately changes though when The Von Erichs enter to "La Grange" by ZZ Top and the crowd explodes. Seriously, there are so many girls gleefully screaming that it's like the Beatles are entering the ring. They barely get through the crowd because they're so swarmed with people.
This match is old school southern wrestling at its best. The crowd is insane the whole match and they just keep getting louder. It's a fun, fast paced match with no gimmicks and no frills. The Freebirds cheat like dirty bastards and the Von Erichs use their athleticism and pure skill to outwrestle them. It's a classic battle of good vs. evil. As David Von Erich said, "It's not about Von Erich vs Freebird. It's not about Texas vs. Georgia. It's about decency vs. filth."
