Terry an original member of the Fabulous Freebirds with Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts first in southern promotion but then made their biggest impact in the WCCW. Were they became one of the biggest heels in the buisness after the leader Hayes slamed the cage door on the head on Kerry Von Erich (a crowd hero) during a world title match. From that point for the next 2-3 years the von-erich's vs the birds was the biggest feud in wrestling. Until 83 when David died thats when WCCW started to downturn.

Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
