  • dude, where did you get this theme? i have been looking for this version for like for ever!

  • Ricky Morton dislikes this...

  • If the Wwe is trying 2 bring back tag team wrestling the Midnight Express is the blue print of what's it's about.Hire Bobby and Stan 2 teach those guys!

  • Sweet Stan Lane & Beautiful Bobby Eaton...one of the greatest tag teams of all time!

  • My all-time favorite tag team! The state of tag team wrestling today is pitiful. We used to have the Midnight Express, Rock n Roll Express, Road Warriors, Fantastics, Rockers, Demolition, Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson, and many other fine teams I don't have room to mention.

  • This theme is better than the original one in my opinion.

  • ALABAMA JAM!!!

  • I agree they need to be in the wwe hall of fame, but if Vinces puts them in, do it the right way Vince, have Jim Cornette inducted them so that we all can hear his famous intro for them one last time, " Ladies and Gentleman I Jim Cornette proudly present to you Beautiful Bobby Eaton and Sweet Stan Lane The Midnight Express " .

  • Always liked The Midnight Express and Jim Cornette am even more greatful they stayed in WCW/NWA cause I seriously doubt Vince McMahon would have known what to do with those guys they were the BEST

  • what ever happen to both tag blets they had ?

  • @creekwoodboy you can thank cena for that. 

  • Great tag team.. Miss this old school wrestling.. 

  • The droptoe hold elbow to the back combination. Awesome.

  • and here's is number 1. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. JIM CORNETTE PROUDLY PRESENTS TO YOU BEAUTIFUL BOBBY AND SWEET STAN, THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS. ONE OF THE BEST TAG TEAMS OF ALL TIME

  • what a tune i have to say midnight express had one of the greatest theme tunes of all time and what a tag team one of the best and they were good looking too

  • That vince Mcmahon is a right cunt for getting rid of wcw, eh

  • "TITANIC" TYLER BLACK-&-"AWESOME" AUSTIN ARIES...w/ JAMES E. CORNETTE by their side...THE ROH's M.E.!!!!!...

  • You have to admit, the express' costumes wre awesome, even cornette had a few goin' down!!!!!!!!

  • gtz1975, He did, for 5 moths then Regal came in the picture SOME FN HOW!!!!!!! Anyway, yes he did.

  • Always wondered how these guys would've could've and should've been like in the WWF???

  • @dennnis2781 According to Jim Cornette, they (Jim, Bobby and Dennis Condrey) met with Vince in the mid-80's about possibly going to the WWF. He said Vince kept talking about dolls and merchandising instead of possible angles to work.

  • This is officially the best video on youtube.

  • all the wwf tag teams in the mid to the late 1980's were all overrated. none of them dominate one another and they all had the belts once maybe twice. midnight express, road warriors and steiner brothers all dominated. the rockers were a jober tag team. the greatest players in sports are recognized by their stats and championship, that why the hart foundation (two title reigns) and the british bulldogs (one titles reign) are overrated.

  • @goodlookin41 hey man, the Rougeaus were cool!!!! Hart Foundation, andre the giant and haku, powers of pain too!!

  • the steiners held both titles as well

  • great turnertron

  • good question...im not expecting 4 them 2 be a "'new' eaton & lane"...but more like a M.E. of a (slightly) different sort...1 4 this era who can/will/might have a M.E. 2 call ALL-THEIR-OWN!!!!!

  • That theme was specially mixed from WCW. It was not the Movie Theme.

  • @keijimuto Yeah they kept going back and forth between this and the theme from the movie midnight express which was a bit like it, I liked this version the best though.

  • @clojap

    A bit like it? I don't know why they even bothered changing it, it is so similar.

  • @OldSchoolRasslin Probably so they didn't have to pay the company that owned the rights to the movie theme.

  • Great Old School Team!

  • Too Bad There Ain't Any Tag Teams Like These Anymore. The MidNight Express Was Such A Great Team Beside The RoadWarriors And Others.

  • cornette should put tyler black & kenny omega 2gether 2 form an roh version of the midnights...that woud be M'R-F'N' E-P-I-C!!!!!

  • @jerzeefranky3475 ...not with Tyler Black it wouldn't be.

    You have to look at it like this: who can fill the shoes of Eaton and Lane?

  • @jerzeefranky3475

    Good in theory, but remember what happened they tried to reform the Midnights, with Bob Holly and Bart Gunn? It bombed worse than Hiroshima.

  • My favorite tag team EVER!

  • The only team in wcw-nwa to hold both tag team titles  by far the best team ever!

  • Bobby Eaten's Alabama Jam was devistating!!!!!

  • @roughy762004 It was even more devastating as part of the Vegematic.

  • midnights-v-the blondes?!?! who do u think would/could win that 1?!?!...its open 2 anybody on this 1 dream feud!

  • to bad this isn't used on Rise and Fall of WCW during their entrances

  • best double team tag team ever. a REAL true tag team!

  • They are # 3 on my alltime list just below #2 Road Warriors, and #1 The Fucking Steiner Brothers!

  • TNA should bring back the naturals and book them as this guys, with Cornette.

  • am i the only 1 that thinks that stan lane looks like a blond john morrison...or that morrison looks like a auburnish-maned lane...maybe its just me...tell me if im just losin'it(my mind)!!!

  • I liked the original version better, but this was cool too. The Original was from the movie of the same name, and this is similar but pretty much only has a portion of the original song in there.

  • I wish they had been in the WWF in the 1980's and had a feud with the Hart Foundation.

  • It came really close to happening... They had met with McMahon in the 80s, but decided to stay with WCW. Keep in mind, this is when McMahon still believed tag teams to be important. They would've been pushed well.

  • @BorisBarak I would have loved to see them against the British Bulldogs too.

  • id like 2 see styles and daniels...w/cornette...as THE REAL NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!!!!!

  • that's not a bad idea at all

  • Awesome ,as a fan of wrestling for going on 30 years,well in 2011 it will be 30 years,lol but anyway.I miss the territories,I watch WWE ,and TNA.,and If I could find ROH ,I would watch it too.but my heart is old school,oh im not under any assumption that these days should come back, they will never come back,sadly most new school fans ,seem content on being wannabe bookers and not fans, they ckoke the fun right out of wrestling

  • stan lane looks like lex luger off steroids

  • as a kid i always thought they were brothers lol

  • i think he looks like Lex,but lay off the steriods comment!

  • Forget 86 - it has to be 87 or 88 - I forgot they used the original version at first

  • What year did The Midnight Express start using this theme? I know they had it in 87 - Did they have it in 86?

  • I want to say 87, because the original version was used in early 86 that I know of.

  • i fourth it

  • I 5TH IT

  • ladies and gentlemen, put the kids to bed and hide the single ladies, it's beautiful bobby and sweet stan, the midnight express

  • the hour of midnight is at hand...or...the hour of midnight is upon us....FORGOT WHICH ONE CORNETTE USED...OR WAS IT BOTH???...LOL

  • i don't know lol. i think what i wrote was a paraphrase of what the don king character said in rocky 5

  • Beautiful Bobby was silent but had a bad ass punch he'd throw.. he was a great seller also

  • dude this is classic how can you not like it

  • we need a wcw/nwa 1984-1990 legends game put these boys in that game

  • i second that

  • I third that.

  • They should have been in Showdown:Legends of Wrestling so I could feud them with the Rock & Roll Express & put them over

  • sweet stan was good,when he with was stev keirn[skinner]i dont think he did 2 much till he got to the express

  • fantastic double team moves

  • hell yea, i thought they were the coolest team when i was a kid, i remember one night onWCW when Bobby did the alabama jam right onto Brian Pillman's throat, my mom and sis were all freaked out and i thought it was cool as hell. they dont make tag teams like them anymore

  • Bobby never used this in his solo run. He used similar music, but this wasn't it.

  • didn't Bobby started using this Theme on his solo run?

  • Yes, he did.

  • concur. I can go far back as Wrestlewar 91 against Brad Armstrong.

  • I can go back to Starrcade '90 against the Z-Man.

  • Nice comeback. Do you have that match or know where I can see it?

  • It used to be on the internet, but somebody must've took it off, in fear of WWE complaining of copyright infringement.

  • @gtz1975 no.........he used something else during his "Alabama Jam" run then to the Dangerous Alliance

  • @gtz1975

    The MX used this theme as early as 1989, though they seemed to bounce back and forth between themes for whatever reason. By the time Eaton went solo, this was the only theme he used.

  • THEY NEED TO BE IN THE HOF NO?S ASKED

  • The NWA needs to start its own HOF so that travesties like these guys, Randy Savage & several others being excluded are corrected. I know many guys like Savage never wrestled in the NWA, but WWE inducted wrestlers & announcers who never worked for it (Nick Bockwinkle, Gordon Solie, and Eddie Graham) & even non-wrestlers like Refrigerator William Perry & Pete Rose (which takes away the WWE's HOF credibility). There needs to be a true HOF that has no bias against wrestlers who McMahon didn't like.

  • NWA has it's own hall of fame. They put Ric Flair in it recently.

  • If i'm right they do have one. Don't quote me on it though.

  • @MRDXKLIQ101 hell yeah one of the best tag teams ever assembled

  • DAMN! they dont make teams or managers like this anymore. I miss great tag wrestling. Always preferred Lane over Condrey

  • Dont you think jim cornette looks like Rodeny Mackay from Stargate Atlantis!!!!

  • whats the name of this song

  • Theme from Midnight Express. Yup thats what its called

  • the song is actually called the chase by giorgio modorer this is just a sped up version of it

  • Is it Modorer or Moroder? I'm pretty sure that's the name of the guy who did many tracks of the Scarface soundtrack.

  • yup your exactly right same guy

  • Thanks for finding this,very rare indeed couldnt find this particular version anywhere...who composed it? Is it done by the same composer as the original?..

  • Nope Mark Hallman did this.

    a guy named Craig-UK obtained the song.

  • one of the GOAT ( Greatest Of All Time.)

  • beautiful bobby right hand was one of the stiffest but best in the biz

  • u right damn right about that.. i miss those mid atlantic days

  • actually back in the day when the NWA champ had to put down a $25,000 deposit on the world belt the title meant something, if only $25,000 lol

  • Great Theme and one of the greatest Tag Teams in wrestling I miss the days of when tag teams were actually something. Midnight Express, Rock N Roll Express,Road Warriors,Hart Foundation,British Bulldogs,Demolition,Steiners Bros Hate McMahon for taking away the thing that brought me into wrestling as a kid.

  • No, a mark is someone who takes wrestling seriously. It's not a sport, never was a sport. It's just entertainment, no more, no less. I'm from the Northeast, so that version of wrestling is what I grew up on. I didn't really watch the NWA/WCW when I was a kid. I enjoy wrestling for what it is, and not long for what it used to be... Because it will never be again what it was 20 years ago.

  • Wrestling was a sport. Its the oldest sport in the world. Now when referring to today's version. very few companies are "WRESTLING" companies, WWE, TNA, CZW, IWA these are not wrestling. The NWA, ROH, Chikara, NOAH Pro, Michinoku Pro, NJPW and all Japanese companies...they are what wrestling was and should be.

  • Pro wrestling, however is not a sport... I own DVD's from almost all those promotions with the exception of the Japanese ones, and TNA.

    It's not sport. Never was sport. Only southern fans have been conditioned to believe in kayfabe, etc. It's just not that way. Hasn't been a sport since about 1915.

  • I'm surprised at you. Don't be a mark, dude. Titles never meant anything.

  • McMahon himself believes tag team wrestling to be passe, although there still are some teams like Miz and Morrison, Cryme Tyme, Priceless, and I hope they keep Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio together.

  • I WANT THAT MATCH THAT WAS SHOWN ON :38

  • buy the rf video shoot with lane and eaton and you will be well pleased!

  • wow much better in high quality

  • 1:05 Bobby Eaton has one of the best right hand shots in the biz!

  • I agree. Thats what I liked about him.

  • Best version of The Midnight Express!!

  • I agree..I remember when Cornette debuted the New Midnight Express in the WWF with "Bodacious" Bart Gunn and "Bombastic" Bob Holly

  • That was the Mid-card express

  • lol...u mean the never should've happened Express

  • yup that video is on here some where

  • maybe the WTF (What the Fuck) Express

  • lol...I meant that comment for Bart Gunn and Bob Holly

  • Hey James E. drops a nice elbow :)

    One of the greatest tag teams of all time with one of the greatest if not the greatest manager of all time.

    R.I.P Bubba

  • yes...the "tennis racket elbow" was nice...eat your heart out Rock..LOL j/j
