They had some of the best entrance music I've ever heard.

@rlwfan I met him at a strip club back in 1992 or 93. He was just hanging out. I met all the Midnight Express separately over the years. I met Dennis at the old Eastland Mall in Charlotte, Jim Cornette at the airport (he signed an autograph for me even though he was on a payphone) and Bobby Eaton used to workout at the gym I worked for.

Ggeorge Michaels was (deceased I'm fairly certain) a renowned natl sportscaster prior to ESPN days. He was a local guy in DC area at NBC too Great presence on-air. He was known as being hard to work with. He enters with a cocky attitude and leaves impressed by Cornette. The shot afrer Cornette finishes says it all. George thought Cornette was amazing. Really tho, who isn;t impressed with Cornette on the mic? He is next to Heenan in my opinion.

@gtz1975 Born same time ('71) and yeah.... if you loved wrestling and metal that was the time. Awesome fucking times! Grunge music was awesome but never understood why hair metal had to die because of it. Wrestling in the eighties and early ninties... fucking phemomenal. The shit their doing today is totally unwatchable. I tune in from time to time to see if Jericho has come back.

Interesting rarity. Actually, if my memory serves me right, I believe that Big Bubba came in during the days of the original Midnight Express. I remember Bubba having a tag match with the original Midnight where the match was won with a splash off the top rope. I also remember Bubba going to the UWF where he defeated the One Man Gang for the world belt in that debute match and became manged by Akandor Akbar. RIP, Big Bubba Rogers.
