From Quiz John's Icons of Wrestling: Fabulous Freebirds

Answer: Bill Watts

"Cowboy" Bill Watts placed the two men together in 1979. Though initially intended only to be a two-person tag team, Bill Watts would add a third member to the team. Dale Hey, or as he is better known, Buddy "Jack" Roberts was added by Watts to enhance the team's wrestling ability. Bill was not as impressed with Michael's in-ring skills as his ability to cut a promo. Thus Roberts, a successful tag team wrestler, was brought in to help get the Freebirds over as a team. The decision proved to be a perfect one as the three wrestlers would hold a great many single and tag team titles during their tenure as a team. Before becoming the head of the Mid-South Wrestling and then the Universal Wrestling Federation, Bill was an accomplished wrestler himself. He would hold several regional titles including the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship on three separate occasions.
