@takauthar You should probably seek professional counseling.

I hope every time the R&R Express go to a different indy promotion, the promotion plays this for their crowd a week before they arrive.

They seemed 2 have more energy in Memphis after being in jcp awhile they got lethargic. I hated these 2. I always thought the fantastics shoulda came 2 jcp n got the shot. I wanted 2 c the warriors beat the absolute shit outta Morton n Gibson but Crockett was 2 scared 2 make the match

Rock & Roll Express and the Midnight Rockers fueded for a couple of months in 1988 in Memphis. Shawn and Marty were the heels. You tube has some stuff from that fued. I only read about it in the Apter mags at the time, but it was an obvious fued people wanted to see much like the Road Warriors and Demos.

Actually, the Rock N Roll Express and the Midnight Rockers did battle in the CWA back in 1987 or 88 after the RNR Express left the NWA.

Just search with the Midnight Rockers in Memphis and you'd see clips of the RNR Express and the Midnight Rockers battle.
