Beyond Wrestling w/Robb Ep. 8: Miranda Gordy

On Episode #8 of Beyond Wrestling w/ Robb, Robb Helt welcomes Miranda Gordy, daughter of legendary Fabulous Freebird Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy, for a conversation that goes far beyond the ring. Per the norm here on Beyond Wrestling, this episode is not about match results, title histories, or wrestling politics. It is about Miranda the person: the daughter, the animal lover, the gardener, the winery worker, the country girl, the second generation wrestler, and the woman building her own life while carrying one of the most respected last names in wrestling history.One of the best parts of the conversation is hearing Miranda talk about Terry Gordy as her dad rather than the legendary “Bam Bam” fans remember from Mid-South, World Class, Japan, and the Freebirds. She remembers the small things: him relaxing in his recliner, spending time at home before the next flight, playing around the house, and making the most of the time they had because wrestling kept him on the road so much.Robb also digs into the Freebird family connection, and Miranda gives the strongest possible answer on a debate that has come up plenty of times on the network: Jimmy Garvin was and is a Freebird! According to Miranda, he had everyone’s blessing not just Michael’s, he was in the Badstreet video, and she has the pictures to back it up. Case closed.This episode is a great fit for Beyond Wrestling because it gives fans a look at Miranda Gordy away from the ring and away from the shadow of her father’s legacy. She is funny, honest, quick witted, laid back, humble, and clearly proud of where she comes from, but she is also determined to be her own person.For fans of the Fabulous Freebirds, Terry Gordy, second generation wrestling stories, country life, winery talk, and real conversations that go beyond the usual wrestling interview, this is a damn good one, check it out, then share it with your friends. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
