My Take
Michael "P.S." Hayes is a fascinating case of someone who reinvented himself behind the curtain. As a wrestler he led the Fabulous Freebirds from 1979, a stable that helped define the rock-and-roll bad-guy archetype, and he's earned spots in both the WWE Hall of Fame and the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame. What I respect most, though, is the second act: he became WWE's Vice President of Creative Writing and Booking, shaping storylines for performers decades younger than him. The Pensacola-born showman clearly understood the business from the inside out. Few people in wrestling have stayed relevant as both a star and a backstage architect for this long.
