Dark side Of The Ring: Terry Gordy The Final Flight Of The Freebird.
Looking back at Terry Gordy who teamed up with Michael Hayes and became one of the best heel fractions then having Jimmy Garvin joining and taking on The Von Erichs in Texas. Terry went to Japan and became a top star there and suffered a accidental overdose and recovered. Teaming with Dr Death Steve Williams and suffered a overdose on a plane and slowly his downfall happened to never fully recovering.
Such a great person to watch as a heel with Hayes and how they would show off and get the crowds to really hate them yet the spent two years feuding in Texas and how wild they were outside the ring partying and the not so great meeting with Vince at WWF, then to get a contract and became The Executioner and his untimely death.
