Badstreet did look kinda dumpy.
Do you think they enjoyed Badstreet and it kept them tough fighting all the punks?
Or do you think they didn't make enough money since they wrestled in the days mostly before the expansion? I mean Jimmy Garvin although an associate for the longest time had to work part time for the ambulance service.
So what gives?

Pretty obvious: Medic Jimmy Garvin.

They had horrible credit and couldn't get a lease at the new apartment complex in Gwinnett GA. Michael asked Jimmy to co-sign but Precious wouldn't let him because she didn't want Jimmy hanging out with, "those kind of people". Buddy offered to pay the first two months rent as a deposit but Terry Gordy didn't come thru on the money he owed Buddy for that bathtub full of Pearl Light after the FT. Worth show and so Buddy's check bounced. Michael got laid off at the plant and had to move in with Buddy and Terry at their place. He slept on the couch until Buddy got a new girlfriend. Then he and Terry got a roofing job in Tifton and moved into Terry's van just off site. Buddy's girl got drunk and slept with Ice Man Parsons and moved in with him. So Terry and Michael moved back in. By that point the thought of moving out had left their minds altogether. Eventually Terry died and Michael took his room. Dallas Page started sleeping on the couch. This led to an awkward incident when Michael's latest conquest mistook Dallas for Michael cause of his normal spot in the couc. She stumbled in after getting off work at the Gold club and slipped under the sheet Dallas was covering with. Michael came out of the kitchen about then and just as he is gonna root Dallas on, he realized it was his girl Kimberly and kicked both of them out. It went on like this until Buddy died. Jake Roberts moved in after convincing the landlord he wasBuddy's brother. One day Jake had a moment of clarity and realized he needed help so he moved in with Dallas. Michael still lives in the house on bad street and now works at the Raceway one street over. He is currently on probation stemming from his 2011 pot bust and public indecency charge from when he exposed himself to fifteen fans at the Freebird "concert" at Tops Bar in Albany.

Because "Hailing from Smith Street Atlanta Georgia" doesn't have the same ring to it.

I think they were taking care of their sick grandparents.
That Badstreet has a heart of gold.

I think they were taking care of their sick grandparents. That Badstreet has a heart of gold. No. Not really. The street is lined with broken and crumbling curbs with deep pot holes every few yards where stagnant oily brown water stands for weeks, strewn with empty beer cans, spent zig zag packages, cigarette butts from the cheapest brands, broken glass with portions still held together by Ole English 400 labels that refused to yield to the shattering fate, a hypodermic needle lies in the dead grass and dirt patch of the island amid the culdesac at one end. The lone functioning street lamp is dry rotted and pitiful to behold...except, except for the pink neon flyers adorned in quadruplicate upon it. Emblazoned with the standard of the Freebirds. It promises of a show at the country and western bar in the former strip mall a mile away. Next Friday...be there live

I figure it's kind of a Hotel California deal: You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Because "Goodstreet...Palm Springs, California" is not as catchy a song.

"Further down the block you got the badder it got..."
They were actually relatively upscale. Worse Street and Shithole were both in the same voting district.

They were going to move down the neighborhood, but that would be near the last house on the left, and Hack Myers was a total ass.

Little known fact: Outside the ring, the Freebirds managed to become legitimate rock singers in the NWA in large part due to Michael Hayes's savvy as a real estate broker. The Freebirds purchased an apartment complex in order to start up an urban renewal project for Badstreet which turned it into one of the more upscale districts in Atlanta now.
This benefit keeps on giving for the Freebirds, as Jesse met Festus while driving at a nearby free clinic while keeping watch at the Whole Foods that Jesse had purchased a small part of in the same area.

It wasn't by choice, they were marked men after Hayes slept with the preacher's wife in Dudleyville, and the less said about the incident that occurred at A little town in France the better.

Buddy attracted a woman despite his body odor and Jack-and-cigarettes breath? That must be her on the right.
