The Midnight Express vs The Fantastics (part 1 of 2)

The Fantastics defend the U.S. Tag Team titles against the Midnight Express at The Great American Bash '88. Jim Cornette gets put in a strait-jacket and raised high above the ring in a cage so he can't interfere in the match.

The US tag titles even had great prestige compared to the current World tag titles you see today.

@McMahonHater Actually, a lot of folx consider a great deal of Dusty's act a bit of a blend of Superstar Graham, (minus the physique, obviously haha) and Thunderbolt Patterson.

@JWade29 Thanks, Bro. I was living in Michigan in the 80's and I remember watching Midsouth @ 8pm / EST on Fridays nights followed by NWA. Freakin awesome ! So much better than this circus garbage being peddled out of New York. The entire world seems to buy into the WWE mass media style and it just doesn't hold a candle to the Passionate " regional " enthusiasm of the fans from the 80's. oh well. Dems the times we live in.

@FMAStudent

they weren't with the NWA at the time.

I guess the Rock n Rolls were involved in another Plot / feud at this point.
