Os Fabulous Freebirds foram um grupo de wrestling profissional que foi muito conhecido nas décadas de 80 e 90. Atuou nas maiores promoções da época, American Wrestling Association, National Wrestling Alliance, World Championship Wrestling, UWF, World Wrestling Federation e World Class Championship Wrestling. Seus membros eram: Michael P.S. Hayes, Buddy Roberts, Terry Gordy e Jimmy Garvin. Apesar de ser considerada uma dupla se apresentava com três lutadores, o que deu origem a "Freebird Rule".

Freebird Rule[]

Durante a existência dos Freebirds na National Wrestling Alliance, eles foram campeões do NWA World Tag Team Championship. Durante o seu reinado, foi criada um regra: (não oficial) "Freebird Rule", que permitia a quaisquer dois dos três membros da equipe para defender o título a qualquer momento.

Esta regra tem sido reutilizada por outras empresas, quando uma equipe de três homens (ou mais) vence um campeonato de duplas. Os exemplos incluem:

Notas

  1. O reinado de Hayes como NWA United States Heavyweight Champion ocorreu após Ted Turner comprar Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling de Jim Crockett, Jr. em 1988, que resultou na renomeação da promoção World Championship Wrestling. Isto também ocorreu ante de o título ser renomeado para WCW United States Heavyweight Championship e antes da separação entre WCW da NWA.
  2. Durante o primeiro reinado de Hayes e Garvin, o título era conhecido como NWA World Tag Team Championship.
