Each wrestler had a specific role

The original Fabulous Freebirds consisted of three members, Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, and Buddy Roberts. Hayes was the leader of the stable and had the nickname PS which stood for Purely Sexy (not many people know it even now). Meanwhile, Terry Gordy was nicknamed ‘Bam Bam’ and was the power house of the stable.

Buddy was known for his speed and was nicknamed Jack as he loved Jack Daniels. Jimmy Garvin also had an association with the Freebirds from 1983 onwards and used to team up with Hayes often. When the time passed by, Badstreet also joined the stable as co-members but were short lived and less successful than the original Freebirds.
