Brian Fowler Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 They technically let Demolition do the Freebird Rule in 1990 although I don't think they ever defended the belts as anything other than Smash and Crush after Ax's heart problems.

If not, does that bother anybody else as much as it does me? The WWWF allowed that before the Freebirds were even formed with the Valiants. Spirit Squad were Vince flunkies, so they got special privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Yes, but they explained it in Demolition's case. And I don't remember how it worked in the Spirit Squad's case - wasn't the evil authority figure of the day pulling strings for them or something?

And that's assuming Brock's stats are legit. Watching a bunch of All Star Wrestling on the network and I think there are only like three wrestlers they announce as under 300 lbs.

RIPPA Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 The kayfabe explanation for New Day using Freebird rules was because they were heels and the Authority said they could In the non-kayfabe sense - the WWE wanted to reintroduce it because they were starting to get stable heavy so it was to train the fans that it could happen. Remember the Wyatts with Bray/Orton/Harper used Freebird rules too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did (as did the Wyatts later on) I just can't find the specific clip of when it happened (It was within the first week of defending the titles since they wrestled Tyson/Cesaro for the titles on the Smackdown after winning the titles at Extreme Rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point its just kind of the norm since UE and Sanity use it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
