Hello Illusion-ites...

 

Just a quick question enquiring the former members of the Midnight Express. I understand Bobby Eaton and that Dennis dude where in the team...however someone else took Dennis' place within the team. Who was this guy?

 

Thank you for your time

I think but am not sure that Mr Dennis Condrey was part of the Heavenly Bodies also

No, the Heavenly Bodies were Stan Lane and Tom Pritchard, who went on to be Zip.

 

The Midnight Express was originally the team of Randy Rose, Dennis Condrey, and Norvell Austin with a few other guys coming and going including the Midnight Stallion, Ron Starr, Rick Harris and Wayne Ferris (the Honky Tonk Man). Condrey eventually left for Crocket promotions and formed his own new Midnight Express with Bobby Eaton and Jim Cornette as manager. Condrey eventually left and was replaced by Stan Lane who had been in a team known as the Fabulous Ones with Steve Keirn (Skinner). Condrey and Rose eventually came in as the Original Midnight Express to feud over the name with manager Paul E Dangerously (Paul Heyman).

Stan Lane was eventually replaced in the Heavenly Bodies by Jimmy Del Ray. Del Ray and Pritchard made a great team.

Del Ray was one UGLY motherfucker to be called "The Gigolo"

Tom Pritchard doesn't exactly look like the Doctor of Desire either.

Midnight Express are easily the GREATEST US Tag Team ever. As a combination, Condrey, Eaton, Lane, and Cornette will go down with Ishigundan as the greatest "group"/stable ever.

 

The Heavenly Bodies, both combinations, were an excellent "Indy" tag team.

Did Condrey have a nickname also like "Sweet" Stan and "Beautiful" Bobby?

"Lover Boy" Dennis, "Beautiful" Bobby, "Sweet" Stan, "Doctor of Desire" Tom Pritchard. Forget who Del Ray is off the top of my head.

Of the Midnights and Bodies I know there where: "Playboy" Randy Rose, "Lover Boy" Dennis, "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, "Sweet" Stan Lane, "Doctor of Desire" Tom Pritchard, "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray, lead by your friend and mine Mr. Jim Cornette

Watching Del Ray belly dance was always a joy on Superstars back in the day as the commentators would always be all "EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

and then the New Midnight Express was made up of "Bodacious" Bob Holly and "Bombastic" Bart Gunn

even though the new Midnight express was sacrilige i liked them :)

 

nothing wrong with an old school style tag team in my books

pfhhh.

 

Fantastics,Fabolous Ones, and The British Bulldogs were IMHO better than the Midnight Express.

Not to be confused with Playboy BUDDY Rose? Or is it the same guy?

Guest Midnight Express83

He picked up the name Playboy in the AWA, Buddy Rose was just picked uped by the WWF then and I guess they thought it would be cool to make Randy a Playboy.

So to settle the discussion...

 

Most wrestlers, espically those in the 80's, are UGLY BASTARDS

 

Illusion - Isn't ugly

Nah, wrong. Fantastics, on some levels, I could give that one to you. Fabulous One's, never had the matches that stand out forever.

 

As for British Bulldogs, point me to a match of their's that is as good as 3/27/88 MX v Fantastics or 7/7/90 MX v Southern Boys. You won't be able too.

The Heavenly Bodies were an hilarious team.

 

They were both some really ugly men though.

Jim Cornette could make anybody into a enjoyable tag team. I mark for all of his tag teams.

 

how is it that the Armstrong brothers can look good against the Midnight Express but look lame when not facing a Cornette team?
