The Rockers or Rock n' Roll Express?

Right on, understood now ... I presumed one thing and you were implying another.

The Rock n Roll Express' body of work is miles above the Rockers. Granted, the RnR's did have a better level of talent to work with but I always considered the Rockers good but not great.

On their way to the ring... They are the NWA World Tag Team Champions, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson...The Rock N' Roll Expresssssssssssss!

I wasn't watching wrestling when mullets were trendy, but I think some people are confusing "which team put on the best matches in your opinion?" with "which team got bigger crowd pops?"

 

If that is the determing factor in match quality, then Hulk Hogan and Goldberg put on the greatest matches of all time.

 

I can't judge myself, having never seen the Rockers in their prime, but having seen something about 15 PPV-level NWA events that either team, I have to say I like the Midnight Express more than I like the RnR.

In 1988, The Rockers came through Memphis and feuded with the Rock & Roll Express. Michaels and Jannetty played the heels because the audience was only going to cheer one team. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Not disagreeing with you at all (especially with the comparisons of both teams, which I agree with you), but do you think the crowd heat would be the same as in Memphis if the match they did were in, say, Minnesota?

Yes.
