Michael Hayes On WWE Finally Inducting The Fabulous Freebirds Into The HOF, His Induction Speech

- As noted, WWE has confirmed The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts) for the 2016 Hall of Fame class. Michael "PS" Hayes spoke to Rolling Stone about the induction at this link. He commented on finally going in:

"Well, I don't know what the rush was. Every year around this time, I'd be on pins and needles, hoping we'd get in, because our career speaks for itself. We put asses in seats?and I think you could take a poll of anybody who ever paid their hard-earned money to come see us, and they'd say they got more than their money's worth. And that was huge to us, because we were wrestling fans too."

Hayes also commented on his induction speech:

"I've never been a person who is at a loss for words, so I'm pretty sure I'll have some things to say. They may not let me curse, but I want to pay homage to Terry and Buddy and the group, so I'm going to tell as many stories as they'll let me get away with. Believe me, I've got plenty of them."
