MisterRogersSnapped (npub1kse…kq88) True story about the Freedirds:
They were in the WWF very briefly in 1984. While traveling to a show in Calgary with Andre the Giant, they got really drunk and almost caused Andre to miss his flight. He left them at the gate where they were passed out and boarded his flight without them. They came to and had to catch up with him at a later connecting flight, where they angrily confronted him, swearing and shouting threats. He cuts them off and simply says, “You’re all fired. Don’t show up at the card.” They all start laughing and telling him to fuck himself, and that he doesn’t run the company and doesn’t decide shit. Andre replies to them, “Wait until tonight”. Andre gets to his hotel room and makes one phone call to Vince McMahon, and immediately the Freebirds get a call from the WWF informing them that they are fired. That’s why you never saw them on TV in the WWF, such was the power Andre wielded in that company.
