Other DVD release dates include WCCW on the 18th September and Steve Austin on the 20th November. Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin and Buddy Roberts all went to a bar after shooting footage for the WCCW DVD in Stamford and, according to the Wrestling Observer, it was a wild scene. Somebody pissed in Roberts’ drink and, without knowing, he drank it. It used to be a Freebird tradition to piss on the people they liked. Before things got too out of hand they released it was not 1983 anymore and went home.
