Free-bird rule coming back?

[Wacokid27]

I never remembered seeing this rule, it would be interesting, I mean its like a 6-man tag title (which could of worked well last year) but only New Day and Los Matadores would use it, for they are the only teams of 3 right now.

The Freebird Rule (named, of course, after the Fabulous Freebirds, one of the no-doubt greatest tag teams of all time) came around in the 1970's (if memory serves) and was big into the 1980's and 1990's (I'm trying to remember the last time a team used it....I'm thinking the West Texas Rednecks back in WCW?). It just says that, with a three-man team, any two can defend the belts at any time. It was actually brought about because three-man tag teams were passing away (at least as formal teams....there are, obviously, still six-man tag matches).

The NWA had a Six-Man Tag Championship (defended in six-man tag matches) that was active from 1974 to 1988 and enjoyed a brief revival in NWA 2000 in 1998.

I think they'll bring it back to turn the New Day heel.

This has always been a faction that I thought was designed to be heel in the long run (if they're intended to be a babyface team long-term, they've picked a really stupid gimmick to do it with....of course, WWE gonna WWE) and they could bring back the rule to lead them into a heel run.

Freaking exactly.
Does anybody remember how Daniel Bryan turned heel in the first place? Is anybody aware that the 'Yes' Movement initially began as a heel tactic, or taunt if you will?
I figured The New Day were a bunch of black guys jumping around begging for support for their ethnocentric racism
The over-jubilation they displayed struck me, from day one, as pompous, ignorant and a tad sleezy.

I suppose since Daniel Bryan can jump around like a tool and be adulated then society is ready for three african-american to do the exact same thing and it would still be 'cute'.

I like it, bring back proper stables.

New Day is lame even by 2015 WWE standards

The rule in itself could be used to reinvigorate Factions and the whole Tag Team division as a one off or not used correctly it could ruin the 3-4 tag teams still viable. We could use it to bring in ppl though if done correctly, as factions could be formed etc.....

If they had multiple teams do it, i'd be so down.
