Death: September 16th, 2001
Cause of Death: Heart failure
Famous Matches and Storylines: Gordy was one of the original Freebirds, and had much success with the tag team.  Gordy also teamed with "Dr. Death" Steve Williams to win the tag team titles.  In his last match on national television, Gordy as "the Executioner" battled Mankind at a WWF PPV. In Japan he was a force in All Japan Pro Wrestling and had battles with the greats of All Japan such as Steve Williams and Mitsuharu Misawa.
Major Titles Held: WCW Tag Team Champion, NWA Tag Team Champion, NWA 6-Man Tag Team Champion, NWA Southeastern Champion, NWA American Champion, NWA American Tag Team Champion, and the NWA National Tag-Team Champion
