It's TRUE man. And since Wheeler is the only one with hair, he needs to switch from trunks to tights. Blanchard needs to get a Bedazzler and put their initials on their jackets. Then the theme song is spot on.
One of the greatest wrestlers (along with Double A Arn Anderson) to never hold the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Although Stan Lane would have been a great champion too
My little brother and I loved The Midnight Express as kids! After they'd Wrestle, we'd play as them and Wrestle our teddy bears and pillows, pretending they were our opponents! I was playing Beautiful Bobby and my little brother was Sweet Stan. I used fly off the couch and my top bunk and crash onto the pillow and teddy bear. Sometimes I'd miss and hit the floor or my little brother. We were some of the only Black kids in our neighborhood who watched Wrestling, and it had a huge impact on my life and career choice in becoming a Stuntman and fighter and pro wrestler when I grew up. I got to Actually tell Beautiful Bobby himself when I met him a few years ago about how my brother and I used to play as them and Wrestle our teddy bears and pillows and even our cousins sometimes and he laughed so hard. He asked me, "Did you win?" 🤣
@@ChickenLover-nm2ks But yet FTR and Santana Ortiz have had a combined 8 televised matches and we see the Young Bucks doing acrobats over and over and over and over eeeeevery single week. AEW is taking the shovel out of Vince’s hands and burying tag team wrestling even more than its been for 20yrs. Smh
Damn, that's a sick jam. When I was a little kid, I always thought the midnight express were the baddest dudes of all time and that they were basically unstoppable. I would really get into them versus the rock n roll express. Epic memories
Best version of the Midnight Express. These 2 clicked and nailed it as a tag team. Held the world's and U.S. tag belts at the same time . No other team did that. HOF 2019 please....My favorite tag team(this version)....T
I disagree . I think Bobby and Dennis were the better Midnight Express and Stan and Steve were good as the Fabulous Ones they should have stayed together him and Steve
@@robertrodriguez787 Disagreed. Beautiful Bobby and Sweet Stan were easily the better combo. Sweet Stan had superior mic skills over Dennis and SO many more moves including the sweetest kicks in the business. The ultimate proof was the only tag team in NWA history to hold the U.S. and World Tag Team Titles simultaneously.
Double Flapjack. Rocket Launcher. Veg-O-Matic. Ever changing, ever evolving, but always, ALWAYS the best damn tag team there ever was. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your World Tag Team champions, Sweet Stan Lane and Beautiful Bobby Eaton...the Midnight Express!
This song still incites hatred when I hear it, lol, they were such perfect heels. This is one of those situations where the bad guys made this world a better place. You are sorely missed, Bobby Eaton.
Didn’t even feel like a heel tag team. I saw more fans cheering them in the matches u think they were face. They went face temporarily when they battled the old midnight express managed by a young and fit Paul heyman
The Express were so legit and awesome that the fans respected them, even if they booed them for doing dastardly shit. That’s why it was so easy for the fans to start cheering for them when given the opportunity (the OriginalMidnights ambushing them and putting a huge beat down on them). Same happened with Macho Man in mid-1987. He was still acting like a heel and all bitter in his promos about losing the IC belt, but if you watch some of the TV matches (several on RUclips), as the summer progressed, he was getting increasingly huge face pops for his entrances and finisher. The fans knew they were watching greatness.
@@peterp2153 at the 1991 survivor series, people were cheering for Undertaker as much as Hogan, maybe more so, and when Taker won, the kids in the front row was CHEERING and jumping like crazy.
This team was so underrated then beautiful Bobby’s single career was underrated he should have been a us champion let alone a world champion he had the skills man
@Big Bezel. For sure. I can't remember if it was 90' or 91, but that Clash of Champions 2 out of 3 falls for the World Title; Beautiful Bobby vs Ric Flair, is the night he should have won the belt. Flair should have put him over, just saying.
@@culturecrossingwithshawn2681 ot was 91 it was in my hometown of Knoxville Tennessee it was at clash of champions 15 knocksville USA I was there that night such an awesome match
I dont think they are underrated 🤔🤔🤔. Are they not universaly recognized as one of the 2-3 top team ever??? Certainly in my opinion !! So innovative !! Perfect chemistry the 3 togheter with Cornette!!! They should be in the HOF for 15 years!! Unfortunately, its probably just Vince thats indifferent 🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️😫😫😫😇🤘🏼

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, two men that have broken up more homes than Hurricane Hugo: "Beautiful" Bobby and "Sweet" Stan: THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!"
What an intro song 🎵 my favorite into song, and as far as the Midnight Express, by far one of the best to ever to do it. Before their was the Rockers, DX, their was Sweet Stan Lane & Beautiful Bobby!! The best!
I Have A Tremendous Amount Of Respect For Every Member Of The Midnight Express.

Thank you, WCWFanForever, for this video. Beautiful Bobby is forever the heart and soul of the ME. Cornette has chosen to fuck over his fan base in his senile years. Disgusting!
Loved this song and the team of Sweet Stan Lane and Beautiful Bobby Eaton. Jim Cornette was my favorite NWA manager. The way he did promos, used the tennis racket, and did the pre match introduction of his team was something we will never see again.
FTR's new theme is a tribute to this. RIP Beautiful Bobby.
Actually it's more of a tribute to their first ever theme song back when midnight express was different in the 1980's
FTR is currently the greatest tag team in all of wrestling
As members of the cult of Cornette we should all dress up like Jim Cornette and get our own tennis racket.
Im just realizing this after watching 1998 KOR

Stan Lane doing the Snake awesome 😂😂😂😂
XD yeah!!!
Hell yeah Sweet Stan had some soul
Lol!!!!! I said, aloud, OMG, no...
Lol he been hangin out at a black night club lol
