I think Jim Cornette issues with the WWE is preventing this from already happening? But yeah this induction of them is so long over due now! Besides Demolition?, its a huge insult to all wrestling fans that the Midnight Express hasn't been inducted into the WWE hall of fame now. When mostly every other tag team from the 80's and 90's has long been inducted! Both versions of the team plus manager; Jim Cornette have to be inducted in order for this to work properly!
@@MGSBigBoss77 I think the demolition has a concussion lawsuit with the wwe. As the midnight express is concern and I'm 35 but I know they are a great team. If you want any evidence of a non wwe team in the wwe hall of fame can I say harlem heat
Actually there's a third version that came before Bobby Eaton and Jim Cornette were involved in Alabama it was Dennis Coundrey, Randy Rose , and Norvell Austin .
@connor7036 yeah maybe kids, and who really gives af about the opinions of some gen y knobs anyway. You're smoking grade A crack cocaine if you think no one will know who the Midnight Express is.
Stan Lane has always had a very interesting look to me. Like a mix between Curt Hennig and Lex Luger,i grew up more on WWF but I’d like to know more about Stan Lane as a talent and how he & Jim vibed so effortlessly
stan and bobby had such chemistry -- dennis was a worker but stan can talk, and get the crowd going -- bobby was more quiet and technical - they complimented each other and it showed
Beautiful Bobby Eaton💙was underrated as a solo and tag team wrestler. I used to love his theme music he use to come out to in WCW as a solo wrestler R.I.P. Bobby Eaton🙏🏿🤼♂️
Jimmy Cornette. Agreed! You'd almost think that he could dig up a corpse out of the graveyard, and get it over! I mean, he's that good! Maybe he could team up the potted plant and the corpse, and call them something like Plant-N-Bones, or Potted Meat, or something like that 😆🤣😆🤣😆!!!
Bobby & Stan was the best version. They meshed together so well it was scary. The best elements of The Fabulous Ones & The Midnight Express became a new tag team.
Yeah. Stan was better for them moving onto national TV cause he was good looking, had the body and was more exciting style in the ring. Plus having those traits added to them being heels. He could stand behind Corny looking all cocky with the glasses and titles and it just came off great on TV. It was easy to get heat cause you knew the women were looking at Stan and it naturally makes all the guys jealous and mad. And Bobby could still play "beautiful" Bobby but better.
Then it came full circle in the mid 90s when Eaton and Keirn formed Bad Attitude....and it went nowhere. I think Cornette leaving hurt Bobby's career as a singles because he was back in tag teams after he dropped the TV title to Steve Austin.
Two months later, Condrey would be on ESPN teaming with Randy Rose as The Original Midnight Express managed by Paul E. Dangerously. While the Condrey/Eaton Midnights were better at drawing heat, the Eaton/Lane team was better ring wise.
I remember that bad ass move they had called the Double goozel when Stan would roll under your legs while Bobby Eaton whacked u with the flying clothes line.
Same here. I never knew that Randy Rose and Dennis Condrey were in the Midnight Express! Not, that is, until many years later. Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose teamed up with Paul E. Dangerously back in late 1988, & they had a feud with the "New" Midnight Express.
I liked both versions but I think the midnight express with stan lane was far more better and exciting to watch....I liked when they fought the original midnight express...that's was great excitement
Stan proved that looks and presentation do matter. They were good before but once they got Stan,their wardrobe matched,Cornette’s promos were on 10 and Stan & Bobby just flowed together in the ring so smooth.
Never seen Dennie's start watching wresting in 86 but was UWF in mid 86 . Watched NWA in Summer of 87 fell love w Stan and Bobby best tag team ever beside the Hart Foundation ,man been hell of a match Midnight's vs hart foundation ,that been too sweet.
Arnita Kennedy, u should have started back in 85 when I started. It was way more intense and dramatic with the horse men snappin Dusty Rhodes' leg to Baby doll slapping Magnum TA.
Stan Lane was the perfect choice, as the replacement for Dennis Condrey. Stan and Bobby Eaton meshed together extremely well, as the Wrestling Members of the Midnight Express.
This is off subject, but my favorite heel turns always revolved around Superstar Dundee. You never knew when he was going to do it. Like when Lawler had a match with jobbers and he wanted to replace him to get a title shot and then during their tag team runs he turned trying get tag title match against the Fabulous Ones and Lawler didn't want to cause they were both faces at the time and didn't want split the crowds.
Dennis was too unreliable, he left one of the best tag teams in all of wrestling hanging, I would have buried him too. On top of that Stan Lane is night and day better then Dennis Condrey both in the ring, on the mic and he was a lot better looking. My dad told me about Stan's mic ability, he seen them live on numerous occasions at the Norfolk Scope and over in Charlotte NC.
You know Jim has never said WHY Dennis never came back. I wonder if Dennis killed someone or did something illegal for Corny to agree like a damn blood brother to never say why.
I think he ran out of an unhappy marriage. Thing is, today's fans act like wrestlers were sitcom stars with some big national profile. But they were actually on the fringes of society in many cases, guys who'd found a career that let them change names, move around a lot and get paid off the books in cash.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 Dennis didn't want to do more scaffold matches. Understandable. He never came back because he burned a bridge twice in the territory, and there were plenty of places to work anyway.

@@daveconleyportfolio5192 Yea especially from a business that evolved from carnivals, some of which still had wrestling AT shows up until the late 60's.
The way things roll off the tongue is how it should come out. Look at the firearm company Smith and Wesson..if you turned it around and said "Wesson and Smith " it just wouldn't sound the same...
Lane and Eaton were more.....astethically pleasing to be honest. Not really trying to knock condrey. The Midnight Express (Mark II) were definetly more *ahem* Tv Friendly
From the old school wrestling junkie the birth of the midnight Express we have dangerous Dennis and beautiful Bobby they really took the tag team along with the rock and roll Express but to replace dinners with sweet Stan maybe equally but stan and Bobby Hit the tag team motherload by beating the four horsemen of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard they were the undisputed tag team champions of the world 🌍 and you can say about James E Cornette he was the manager of the decade cuz wrestling is not like it used to be !👍 Forget Dennis some credit though he was a great a great partner for the midnight Express !
I was a Dennis guy from the second,he,dropped down to his knees and challenged wee Willie to put up,his dukes. Dennis just always knew which asshole button to push and how hard to push it.
Well, technically we were apart of it. :P They even ran as far north as fort wayne, which was wayyyyyy north of me. I believe Christine Jarrett was in charge of anything in indiana for the territory.
One thing I would like to ask James E is this, when he and the Midnight Express, of Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton, turned Babyface to battle Paul E Dangerously's original Midnight Express who made the call to turn him, Lane and Eaton babyface?
I think he has said they were already babyface from the Horsemen feud and he was over with the smart fans and ppl began cheering him. And since he had seniority,Paul E was more the heel in the angle and it was the original midnights attacking them so that made them even more sympathetic babyfaces
Not sure bout the situation but I think the Midnight Express are in the only wrestling hall of fame that matters. The professional wrestling hall of fame. Fuck the Wwe hall of fame
Because of injuries Dennis Condrey had to leave wrestling but yet the old Midnight Express was chasing after the rock and roll Express yet when Stanley became part of the team me up with Bobby Eaton they became a greater tag team that won and beat The Four Horsemen back in the days either went Stanley or dens country with Bobby eating the Midnight Express was still one of the greatest tag teams ever and they had James E Cornett along the way !
Wallace Stanfield Lane, who many aren't aware of his run w/Keirn as The Fabs in Memphis. They were hugely over. Bobby Eaton is/was one of the best workers ever.
Both were good but I kinda like Stan Lane and Bobby better for looking more similar but wrestling different but still meshing so well together. What's funny to me is that both Cornett and Bobby basically said they didn't stay mad and never bothered to ask Dennis for an explanation until he told them 15 years later.
Had issues with cocaine and had hidden it from everyone until he couldn't cope any longer. Can understand why Jim doesn't want to air the guy's dirty laundry in public.
@@PauloTheGeek No Dennis talked about and said he was going Through Marital Problems . Now he probably did have a Drug Problem and it may have contributed to his Marital Problems and Him leaving . But he said he was having Marriage Problems and personal problems and just wanted to get away from Wrestling for a While
I was a fan of the Rock n Roll Express and the Fantastics.I always hated the Midnight Express,I was always yelling at the TV,saying that damn Cornette.Now I have the outmost respect for them because they were apart of my fondest memories of tag team wrestling.
The Condrey / Rose vs. Eaton / Lane feud was good, very good, but I really wish that NWA/WCW/whatever would have just gone with the obvious and made a 4-man Midnight Express team.
I love how Jim forgives Dennis for directly screwing him not once, but twice and ruined his position within WCW, but has a vendetta against Kenny Omega for no showing a booking that could be solved with the stroke of a pen with no reprisals on him.
Cornette is a huge hypocrite. Also, he hates Ed Ferrara for doing the Oklahoma gimmick and making fun of Jim Ross, but he gives Jamie Dundee a free pass for doing the same thing.
He also made a lot of money with Dennis and even to this day,they can still get money together just being booked for a show or releasing merch....Who tf is Omega to him. Him and Dennis have a legacy together and more importantly are friends,of course he’s going to be more forgiving. Omega is an outlaw shistain to who couldnt work himself out of a paper bag and takes a dump on the business Cornette has made a living in for 40 yrs. You’re comparing apples to oranges 🙄
The Midnight Express should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame alongside Jim Cornette and any other wrestling Hall Of Fame that they may not be in already! Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane should both go in as members (I preferred Stan to Dennis) and should both go out to collect their HOF rings and put over Beautiful Bobby Eaton since sadly he’s no longer with us. But Bobby should still get a HOF ring which should be sent to his wife and three children as Bobby deserves that ring more than both Dennis and Stan as he was the strongest link in the Midnight Express chain. I also think Jim Cornette should get a ring as he was such an important part of the Midnight Express because Jim Cornette was as good as a manager as good the Midnight Express were as a tag team. Beautiful Bobby Eaton may not have been the best looking guy but he was called Beautiful Bobby because he had a beautiful personality and was an amazing person as well as being an amazing wrestler. R.I.P Beautiful Bobby Eaton a legend and a saint of the wrestling business
Loved the Condrey&Eaton version of the midnight express,stan lane really didn't bring much to the team as far as working ability goes. I can see if stan bought youth to the team but he was closer in age to Condrey maybe a year older.
Back in the greatest days of Wrasslin, that’s when it was at the TOP! After WWF took over, it lost me and millions of fans! The Only time I tuned in was during the Attitude Era, a.k.a. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Once he was gone, it returned to the garbage heap!
It’s like a long running off screen character in TV, it had gotten to the point that every fan had their own mental telepathy image of who Momma Cornette would be that you could never have one person meet everyone’s expectations. Just thinking of it now, do you use some who could legitimately be Corney’s mom, or do you go for eye candy appeal ringside and make Momma Cornette Jim’s step mother MILF?
Jim addressed this in a recent episode of the podcast and as the first commenter said,they decided it was best for the audience to just have their own image of who mama Cornette was. If you look at some of the episode art for The Experience,she’s in a few and idk if its Jim’s real mom or what the character Jim Cornette’s mom would look like just based on knowing him
The Midnight Express w'Jim Cornette should be in the hall of fame (both versions)

To be fair to Jim, Dennis Condrey was the Weak Link.
Midnights will always be Eaton and condrey to me. Stan was too over in the fabs for too long to be anyone else. Just my opinion.

Definitely. I'm from Tennessee, anything Fargo related is always fabulous.

R.I.P Beautiful Bobby Eaton a legend and a saint of the wrestling business
Sweet Stan is much better fit for the Midnight X against babyface RnR
I hated Sweet Stan with his lil bitty limbs & that cheap karate.
Loved the Condrey&Eaton version of the midnight express,stan lane really didn't bring much to the team as far as working ability goes. I can see if stan bought youth to the team but he was closer in age to Condrey maybe a year older.
Condrey is 66, Stan Lane just turned or will be 64
Back in the greatest days of Wrasslin, that’s when it was at the TOP! After WWF took over, it lost me and millions of fans! The Only time I tuned in was during the Attitude Era, a.k.a. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Once he was gone, it returned to the garbage heap!
Cornette. Maybe Dennis was fucking tired of the road...And needed Fam Time? WTF!
I liked Lane better than Condrey
Stan lane the fantastics
The Fantastics were a different team. You're thinking of the Fabulous Ones, which was Stece Keirn and Stan Lane.
I wonder why no ever thought to hire someone to play the part of Cornette's mother
It’s like a long running off screen character in TV, it had gotten to the point that every fan had their own mental telepathy image of who Momma Cornette would be that you could never have one person meet everyone’s expectations.
Just thinking of it now, do you use some who could legitimately be Corney’s mom, or do you go for eye candy appeal ringside and make Momma Cornette Jim’s step mother MILF?
Jim addressed this in a recent episode of the podcast and as the first commenter said,they decided it was best for the audience to just have their own image of who mama Cornette was. If you look at some of the episode art for The Experience,she’s in a few and idk if its Jim’s real mom or what the character Jim Cornette’s mom would look like just based on knowing him
WCW would have done it. And it would have been a train wreck.
Being personal friends w/Denny/Bobby/Jimmy, I know the real reason why Denny left. Nice that Jim still doesn't give the real reason.
I ALWAYS wanted to know what happened!?!
Lol Sammy Sosa’s corked bat. I was watching the game when that happened. Unbelievable moment in baseball. Haven’t seen that referenced in a long time.
PM me for an invite to LOCKERZ!
I wanna see Jonah Goldberg debate Jim Cornette he'd absolutely destroy Cornette
