Would take this over any ppv match in the last ten years.

Birds were great at "getting heat", people really hated (and loved) them and viewed them as a dangerous team capable of doing anything. The "Badstreet" video is still a fav of mine.

God I loved the Freebirds. Favorite wrestlers of all time. No one will ever come close.

Always liked Bam Bam, especially with Doc.

Never could understand why Austin Idol never made it nationally.
