Best of the Midnight Express

[Betty Houle 0]

I'm looking for a good Midnight Express comp. Who has the best quality/variety/price? I'd really appreciate the help!

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

I got one if you are interested. Check my site (The one in my sig)and look under Best of's. The quality ranges from Good to Very Good. The tape totally rocks. E-mail me if you are interested.

[Guest BobBarnett]

I have a very strong suspicion that the WWE will have Cornette put out a Best of the Midnight Express DVD within the next year.

Here's what I have. Drop me an email if you're interested.

Heard from him. As a result, the Original Midnight Express was abruptly left up in the air. Victory was called to fill in at the

Last minute, and the angle had to be dropped. They stipulation in this match would be that the loser of the fall must leave the

NWA. Obviously with Condrey gone, Randy Rose would wind up having to take the fall here to close out the feud. Chi-Town Rumble '89)

TAPE 1167 HISTORY OF THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS V. THE ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS [RF] (VG - G Q) 2HRS

Probably 2 of the greatest tag teams of the 1980s, if not ALL TIME! These teams engaged in a decade long feud that consisted of some

Of the best tag team matches in history. The babyface R&R Express were quick, talented and had a fantastick chemistry and a charisma

That instantly made them crowd favorites wherever they went. And conversely, the heel Midnight Express, whether Bobby Eaton &

Dennis Condrey or Eaton and Stan Lane with Jim Cornette never too far away, made for the perfect antagonists with an equally

Effective heel tag team chemistry that remains unmatched by today’s teams. Sit back and enjoy one of the greatest tag team feuds of all

time.
