One of the greatest shoot interview's I have ever seen. Great job man. I was born in 82 in Sydney so I never got to watch these legends until UA-cam and now I only watch the ,80s &90s and some 70s I can't watch the new crap it's Like watching a D Movie doing gymnastics
I was at the Mid South Coliseum for the first Rock and Roll Express match. Nothing has ever been better in wrestling than Memphis in the early-mid 80s.
Lol, he's not a talker though is he. They're perfect for the midnight, because then you had the meakest mildest kindest man in Bobby Eaton working with a complete gobshite like Dennis Condorey, then as much as I love Cornette, he's never short of words, mostly bad
god bless the older wrestlers still around, many have watched you all for a lifetime and in a way you are part of us....the fans, my first show was 1965, eddie graham in florida
I would thank these guys for giving me unforgettable memories. My dad took us to see them in Greensboro, NC as often as we could and it was always great.
If Crockett hadn’t tried to expand as quickly as they did, they would still be in business today. They had the best talent roster of all time. The Horsemen, Rock ‘N Roll Express, Midnight Express, Steiners, Dusty, etc. WWF couldn’t compete.
The Rock-n-Roll Express have been my life time favorite team since I started in 1986. My first live show was 8/16/1986 Philadelphia Civic Center when they regain the NWA World Tag Team titles from Bobby Eaton & Dennis Condrey
The Civic Center was NWA all day. And WWF was spectrum. My Dad was a HUGE Nwa fan. We watched it at my house from 85-89. And I was a kid. We only watched WWF maybe once a month.
Im about the same age as R&R and remember them starting out. All us guys started cutting our hair like Ricky Mortons. lol!! I think Ricky M invented the infamous MULLET. Or at least made it famous and cool to have one. lol! They played second fiddle to the FABS but i think they were just as good if not a better tag team than Steve K and Stan Lane. All respect for R&R! Thanks for all the awesome matches and years of dedication to us fans. ROCK & ROLL 4 EVER BABY!!!!
To the last question that was asked, how will they be remembered? I will always think the Rock N Roll Express Will go down as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. To me the best tag teams in the business world in Mid Atlantic/WCW. Them, The Midnight Express, The Steiner Bros, Harlem Heat, Road Warriors, The Outsiders, Ricky Steamboat And Jay Youngblood, Etc., the greatest tag teams of all time
My mother passed away last year n she was such a wrestling fan, when we were kids mother would take myself and my brother to see the Rock n Roll Express to my mother they were Rick n Robert. Tupelo Mississippi my mother saw Ricky getting hurt n she hit the the guy who was hurting him with her pocket book cause you couldn't hurt her babies. They had no fencing back then. That building is still there today. Downtown Tupelo Mississippi.
I remember their finishing wrestling move which was the patten perfect double drop kick. They had that down pat. They were the perfect tag team that I pulled for when I was young.
He kept saying mine and his hair looked alike. His hair will never look like mine LMBO. .I have bon jovi type thing going on still Every time he'd see me he'd say that junk...he wishes he had all my hair lol (imma lady btw) haha hair like a lion's mane sorry Ricky you losing yours #Thief
Here’s what I have grown to understand while listening to Ricky Morton on these interviews. Ricky is absolutely convinced that nobody understands anything.
It's a Southern thing, people in the south do that. Good ol boys they don't mean anything by it. That's just how he actually tells stories. He's directly talking to the interviewer but he knows we're all watching so people watching may not understand.
Rock n Roll Express vs. The Rockers, Hart Foundation, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, British Bulldogs, Demolition. Imagine the matches they would’ve had….
I would like to know how much they made off the bandanas alone. What a smart thing to use. Well I can get a shirt for 15 or 2 bandanas a program and a coke and hotdog
They’ve said that back when they were hot they didn’t get a dime from tshirts , bandanas, no merchandise at all that didn’t come till years later for wrestlers and by then they had pretty much aged out by then. Ricky has said why he still wrestles today he still needs the paydays to survive. Even in the hottest time for the RnR express they were painfully under paid.
Vince and the powers that be made wrestling profitable and exposed wrestlers to a huge payday but if you grew up back in the late 70s early 80s Mid South, AWA, NWA, WCCW, UWF was the best. Vince Sr was just a bigger boss and had more money thanks to his connections in the corporate world
I can not believe that Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson would have to say "if you think it's a great opportunity, just listen to us." Why wouldn't people be BEGGING to have them tell them what to do? That annoys me to no end.
i did not like them because they were faces. always rooted for the heels, but damn these guys were so over especially in 85 and 86. the pops they got were crazy
The Best Team In History I thank you for the legacy Left in the Ring the only team that I know of they didn't face was Demolition and the Heart foundation
They did split up. More than once if I’m not mistaken. Ricky was usually the heel and Robert the baby face. I never thought Ricky would be able to get over as a heel but he pulled it off pretty good and of course the crowd would always accept him back as a babyface when he was ready to turn back. Probably why they used that dynamic. Ricky was better on the mic and could get heat on himself no problem. Robert wasn’t as good on the mic so he was the de facto babyface
I think that has more to do with your era. If you had started watching wrestling in the 80s, I think your perspective might be a lot different. I am interested in hearing who you think are legendary teams though, as I was born in 82.
Nobody can ever say that either if them took steroids or any form of peds they were like to be over 200 I think now their bigger in size then when wrestling
Rick likes to talk and Rob enjoys listening. What a tag team!
That is totally accurate. Barely hear Rob in interviews
Ricky LOVES to talk! Lol!!! Damn he’s good at it though!
Ricky's talk took the R&R to the level they are at...Ricky talked Robert did his talking in the ring!!! ❤ The R&R Express!!!
One of the greatest shoot interview's I have ever seen. Great job man. I was born in 82 in Sydney so I never got to watch these legends until UA-cam and now I only watch the ,80s &90s and some 70s I can't watch the new crap it's Like watching a D Movie doing gymnastics

It is so great that Ricky brought Rob along for Ricky's interview.
Lol, he's not a talker though is he. They're perfect for the midnight, because then you had the meakest mildest kindest man in Bobby Eaton working with a complete gobshite like Dennis Condorey, then as much as I love Cornette, he's never short of words, mostly bad
God Bless Robert Gibson
That's how it has been for almost 40 years now if you didn't know.
We all know who you were interested in!😂 Robert talked when he was asked or needed to.😂 🫵🏼🌈
One of the best tag teams ever. They were my idols growing up. I miss the NWA and Rock-N-Roll Express.
I know right! I was the ideal age to be a wrestling fan when they were big.
NWA should have never left and Buried Vince the cartoon wrestling god
Grew up watching these two, my all time favorite Tag Team! Had MAD crushes on both back in the day. LOL!
Finally I hear someone acknowledge Norvel Austin as a member of the Original Midnight Express !!!
I watched Norvel, Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose on Dothan tv as a teenager. Always wondered what happened
I agree, there would be no MNX without Norvell
god bless the older wrestlers still around, many have watched you all for a lifetime and in a way you are part of us....the fans, my first show was 1965, eddie graham in florida
Awesome interview! They're doing like they do in the ring. Great storytellers. God Bless them both..
I would thank these guys for giving me unforgettable memories. My dad took us to see them in Greensboro, NC as often as we could and it was always great.
Love these interviews,thank you!
So fantastic I cannot wait to smoke a joint and get a jersey Mike’s sub and watch this interview shoot with the rock ‘n’ roll express
How was it?!😂
AMAZING interview and insight, Rock & Roll forever and ever!
If Crockett hadn’t tried to expand as quickly as they did, they would still be in business today. They had the best talent roster of all time. The Horsemen, Rock ‘N Roll Express, Midnight Express, Steiners, Dusty, etc. WWF couldn’t compete.
One of my top 5 fave tag teams of all time. And they’re still wrestling to this day!!!!!! Also...Great interview.!!!!!!
The Rock-n-Roll Express have been my life time favorite team since I started in 1986. My first live show was 8/16/1986 Philadelphia Civic Center when they regain the NWA World Tag Team titles from Bobby Eaton & Dennis Condrey

I know me too. They said 30 years? I think they’re off a few years
Rock N’ Roll were huge here in Shreveport!
In there hayday they were huge everywhere.
I enjoyed this and the Austin Idol interviews from this channel ,I’ll check out more
These two aren’t over globally.
My favorite memory of Robert and Ricky is when they pushed Jim Cornette’s face in the cake!! Priceless
Rock and roll and midnight express made each other even better to watch.
The greatest tag team of all time. The GOATs.
Long live the rock and roll express!!!
It's awesome seeing a young Kerry Morton at the end
Thanks rock and roll
One of the best and should be relaxing NWA rules They should highly be respected for what they still do by everyone
Ty for the video
Tommy Wildfire Rich and the
Rock n Roll Express are the best interviews today.
Thanks u guys for the best wrestling never matched u were too good for WWE Vince didn’t deserve such talent Greensboro Rules
Im about the same age as R&R and remember them starting out. All us guys started cutting our hair like Ricky Mortons. lol!! I think Ricky M invented the infamous MULLET.

Robert speaks at 52:38 Ricky Morton show the rest of video
Eggselint interview. Rock n Roll 4ever!!!
I seem them in Pineville La it hotel that was the good old days
You can tell that Steve holds Ricky and Robert in HIGH esteem, as well he should. But super cool that he shows the RnR so much respect.
I want to hear more from Robert lol
Ricky is so full of himself ...he never lets Robert speak. Robert expects it . He knows ...can't stand Ricky
I agree
You see Robert getting ready to say something and Ricky cuts him off.
Greatest Tag Team of all time!!!! 🐐
To the last question that was asked, how will they be remembered? I will always think the Rock N Roll Express Will go down as one of the greatest tag teams of all time.

R&R was my favorite childhood memory.
A *pro wrestling tag team* is your favorite memory of being a child? I mean, like all time favorite? that? uhm, ok I guess.
Grew up in 70s 80s watching these 2 if it was winter going to arena u had 2 bring coat cause the fans blew thru roof off watta show.
Funny how Robert put his foot up on the table just after Ricky ....
Grew up watching these are 2
They are the reason I preferred NWA over Cartoonish WWF 1986-1990
I love this shoot with Ricky Morton.
Rock n Roll Express vs. The Rockers, Hart Foundation, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, British Bulldogs, Demolition. Imagine the matches they would’ve had….
Greatest tag team ever existed. The Road Warriors were great.. but the R n R Express knows how to sale a match. 🍻
Enjoy your time and your memories
Rob needs to shut up. Let Ricky get a word or two in.
Is there somebody who knows a tag team that have been together longer than these guys?
One of my favoritess.
It Was Krusher Krushev and Ivan Koloff they beat.....not Nikita Koloff😢
You're the only guy I've seen that can out talk Ricky Morton.
Just subscribed to the channel .
Glad they got put in the Hall of Fame. They deserved it. Love the Rock N Roll Express.
Rock n roll is forever!!
Ricky and Robert class acts..
Greenville Memorial Auditorium. Those were the good ol days.
Bobby Eaton just grew up an hour from me.
I would like to know how much they made off the bandanas alone. What a smart thing to use. Well I can get a shirt for 15 or 2 bandanas a program and a coke and hotdog

That story about grabbing New Jack was Funny !!
is this live?
Question for the HOST: Where were you from if your from Philadelphia. I lived there 1985-1998 West Philadelphia University City
S Swanson & Ritner
It seems we really love our wrestling in Philly. K&A kid est. in 1982 here.
I still love you guys. My sister and me used to fight over you two. Like we had a chance I was like 12.
Vince and the powers that be made wrestling profitable and exposed wrestlers to a huge payday but if you grew up back in the late 70s early 80s Mid South, AWA, NWA, WCCW, UWF was the best. Vince Sr was just a bigger boss and had more money thanks to his connections in the corporate world
These guys drew more money than should have been allowed 🧨
I can not believe that Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson would have to say "if you think it's a great opportunity, just listen to us." Why wouldn't people be BEGGING to have them tell them what to do? That annoys me to no end.
Awesome little dude
I'm sorry but I think Rick is hilarious. I THINK he would be fun to have a few drinks with but I'm not sure how wild he would get.
He's super duper chill.... He ain't gonna have a beer with ppl. When he worked for my dad he came with his baby boy and he was professional.
I thought it was jimmy savile in the thumbnail
Let me tell this ,you understand? Let the music do the talking!
i did not like them because they were faces. always rooted for the heels, but damn these guys were so over especially in 85 and 86. the pops they got were crazy
NWA Greensboro rules
Social security, it's theirs
The Best Team In History I thank you for the legacy Left in the Ring the only team that I know of they didn't face was Demolition and the Heart foundation
Did they face The Rockers?
I think if Rock n Roll Express split up it'd be similar to the Rockers situation. Ricky will probably go further than Robert!
They did split up. More than once if I’m not mistaken. Ricky was usually the heel and Robert the baby face. I never thought Ricky would be able to get over as a heel but he pulled it off pretty good and of course the crowd would always accept him back as a babyface when he was ready to turn back. Probably why they used that dynamic. Ricky was better on the mic and could get heat on himself no problem. Robert wasn’t as good on the mic so he was the de facto babyface
I think Ric Flair had 1 or 2 time limit draws with Ricky Morton n 1985
I’m waiting for Robert to have some time to speak, waiting, waiting, waiting…….
The greatest tag team of the 80"s
Greensboro Rules
Legends
Did Ricky just shave 7 years off his age?
Think this interview is quite a few years old. They keep saying they've been together for 30 years, it's actually just about 40 years now.
No. Not live. This shoot is maybe four years ago or so. I have the dvd.
It might be from 2013. Ricky says the tagteam has been around 30 years, and the Rock "n' Roll Express started in 1983. www.cagematch.net/?id=28&nr=78
Greensboro Rules l was there
Would have been a better interview if the guy actually dressed appropriately instead of like he just went to a kickball game.
Goodmovieandsteakdinnermemphistn
Haaa Ricky gets all fidgety when Robert tries to talk
I’ve been watching wrestling since the 60s , these guys were relevant and probably did good work, but sorry they’re not legendary by any means!
I think that has more to do with your era. If you had started watching wrestling in the 80s, I think your perspective might be a lot different. I am interested in hearing who you think are legendary teams though, as I was born in 82.
1:19:22 fantastic snap
Nobody can ever say that either if them took steroids or any form of peds they were like to be over 200 I think now their bigger in size then when wrestling
Ricky wearing a redemption shirt while he cusses like a sailor . Classic hypocrite
agreed esp the gd word
Nobody is perfect, just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you don't cuss. It's like this everyone is a hypocrite.
