DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The origin story of The Midnight Express
It’s time for another DragonKingKarl mega-show as my “Saga of” series takes a look back at a tag team many consider the greatest of all-time: the Midnight Express.
But if you think the Midnights are only Dennis Condrey & Bobby Eaton or Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane, or if you think Jim Cornette has always been part of the formula, think again.
The Midnight Express was already a highly-decorated veteran unit before Cornette ever came along. With founding members Condrey, Randy Rose, and Norvell Austin, the Midnights ran rampant as the top heels in two different territories long before Mid-South.
Plus, learn about all the different Midnight Express members over the years that included the Mongolian Stomper, the Honky Tonk Man, and more.
