The Fabulous Freebirds

<p>

The first team to innovate three-man tag teams (hence the Freebird Rule), the Fabulous Freebirds were often heels in spite of the fact they were proud southerners wrestling in the south. They appeared in the movie Highlander in the opening scene and were the first wrestling act to write their own theme music.

Championships: The Birds held the big gold in ten different federations, including the prestigious NWA world tag team titles. Grade: A

Competition: The Freebirds faced all the top teams of their era, including internationally. Grade: A

Legacy: From the Freebird Rule to Badstreet USA, the Freebirds's legacy is assured. Grade: A

Overall Grade: A
