Match #42: The Freebirds vs. The Von Erichs (Six-man Elimination) (11/21/83) Will this war ever end? Before we get to the Hayes/Kerry LLT Cage match we’ve got an elimination match to watch and sort out. I’m not-so-secretly hoping the feud goes another year.

Match #33: Chris Adams, Iceman King Parsons & David Von Erich vs. Michael Hayes, Kamala & The Mongol (10/3/83) This is a mish-mosh of talent. I’m much more confident in the babyface side then I am with Hayes partners. I’m watching this one to see what the hell they do with Kamala.

Match #29: Terry Gordy vs. David Von Erich (2/3 Falls) (9/5/83) The two bulls of the southern war do battle for the Texas title in a two out of three falls match. Anyone else think this one is going to a third fall?

Match # 27: Jimmy Garvin & Terry Gordy vs. David & Kevin Von Erich (2/3 Falls) (8/15/83) Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin’s feud with the Von Erichs makes for an easy teammate in Gordy, as they take on the Von Erichs from an arena show. Oh yeah, and two out of three falls rules.

Match #26: The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Von Erichs (8/12/83) The feud that never ends—and keeps pumping out classic matches. I’ll give a World Class six man a look any day because, well it’s world class work.

Match #21: The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Von Erichs (7/4/83) The Freebirds/Von Erich feud gets a shot in the arm. 2/3 falls with a big hot crowd at the county fairgrounds. I’ve heard a lot of people are high on this one.

Match #20: Jimmy Garvin vs. David Von Erich (6/17/83) The big rematch from Reunion Arena. Three times the Texas Title has been held up after three Garvin/David matches. Will we finally get a winner on a big show?

Match #15: Iceman King Parsons, Kevin & David Von Erich vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (5/13/83) Another six-man match, no penalty box, Freebirds and Von Erichs (with the Ice Man). The rivalry continues. I’m a little more excited for Kevin than David, and a little is putting it mildly.

Match # 11: The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Von Erichs (Lumberjack Match) (2/18/83) Now the feud comes into full bloom with Buddy, Hayes, and Gordy trotting out for a showdown with the three Von Erich brothers, lumberjacks included. A fun stip for this feud that has better-than-average potential.

Match # 3: Ric Flair vs. David Von Erich (10/11/82) Flair faces David after just squeaking past Kerry two months before. This is my first time putting David under the microscope, and it’s a World Title match. Anything from Flair in the 1980s is worth a strong look.
