- At the inaugural Masters Of Ring Entertainment series of Tribute events (this one honoring Jim Cornette) Bill Apter had the pleasure of interviewing (as a group) Cornette, The Rock 'n' Roll Express (RickyMorton & Robert Gibson), Midnight Express (Stan Lane & Bobby Eaton) Tom Prichard (one of the members of Cornette's "Heavenly Bodies team), and Stro-Maestro.
Taped on March 7, 2015 in Wilmington, North Carolina at the first ever MASTERS OF RING ENTERTAINMENT event (www.mastersofringentertainment.com).
Bobby Eaton gave such a nice vibe. No wonder everyone respected him.
The Midnight Express (Beautiful Bobby/Sweet Stan version) in their prime would wipe the floor with any current WWE tag team.
Forehead Jones Any team from that era would!! wrestling today completely sucks!! I watch You tube classic wrestling!!
ricardo guajardo That's what I do. Watching it on youtube I mean. I also have my NWA action every night with my NWA wrestling game with stars from the 70's & 80's & for good measure, I decided to "rob" Vince McMahon & his WWE of some of their talent to. Not that I really wanted em, I did it, just to be a pain. lol For 30 years I've been having my matches 365 days a year & I even have up my own forum to post all the action at. Plus over the years I added allot of NEW & wild & crazy grudge matches too. Sure beats the shit ya see on tv these days. And I even have the stars vs the jobbers just like they did on TBS back in the old days. With me, its all about the roots & the tradition & I REFUSE to let that go. And the best part of it all is, people can get the game I have for FREE off the internet. But I bought mine back when it was still on the market. But then again, ANYTHING, is better than watching the WWE. I'll pass.
You got that right!
Absolutely not buddie. Iceman King Parson & Brick House Brown will clean kick all there asses with the same pair of boots.
@@defiantone8556 what game???
Midnight Express and Rock and Roll Express were the greatest - so many great matches
a very classy group of gentlemen, and athletes. these guys always made watching wrestling so much fun.
Yess
Rest in peace, Beautiful Bobby Eaton. What a reunion this was.
Great to see these guys have all remained friends after all these years.
Jim Cornette was the mouth piece and the Midnight Express were the talent. Perfect combination.
These guys made wrestling fun and worth watching. There won't be anyone close to the R&R, M.E., and the Fabs
I agree, oh what a time they were to watch
Bobby Eaton and Robert Gibson were always very quiet. Eaton was off the charts good as a worker.
I know, him even talking a little on this is rare in the beginning
HellhammerSS True.
Eaton was a great worker, agree 100%
Eaton was a great worker, agree 100%
Dennis Condrey was very good and often overlooked
Well Stan had it right Ricky and Robert is in the WWE Hall 2 yrs after this was done
the single most under-rated wrestler, imo, was bobby eaton. i had NO IDEA how good he was as a kid. i just didnt appreciate him enough. he was an incredible worker.
Stan has aged the best of this group
mike jones true
+David Childers Bill Apter aged terribly he looks 80 years old!
+Raiders HV
Without a shadow of a doubt. His joke about his wife being 14 made me uncomfortable though...
To be fair, everyone but the Rock N' Roll Express look fine. Morton and Gibson were never good looking guys. The teenagers in the South clearly had low standards.
It's like having the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in a Survivor Series elimination match.
The Jim Cornette story, where he fell asleep on the plane, and Stan Lane switching his People Magazine with a Hustler Magazine... Aaaaahhhhh!!! The look on Jimmy's face... priceless!!!
Got to say...Stan is holding up very well at 62...Better than the other guys..lol
+Bsomers2 Looks like he's got it made.
The guy looks genuinely happy! Rare to find people like that tese days. It's great to see a wrestler from back in the day that's still alive and in great spirits.
He and Cornet look the same
He taken care of himself
LMAO at Stan's Hustler rib on Cornette.
Haha...That was fun
bobby eaton we all miss you
S O M
School Of Mullet.
arpegio88 Bahahahaha👏
LMFAOO
Now the Rock and Roll Express are now inducted in the HOF.
Oh man the rivalries between this group of men.
Great interview Bill, why these teams aren't in the HOF is beyond me. Express's both of them provided the most entertaining matches ever in pro wrestling
Jeffrey Rose the Rock n Roll express are already in the WWE Hall of fame.
@@Kingmonn well yeah, considering you replied three years after OP, so I'll return the favor.
Man, Jim Cornette still looks the same, hasn't changed a bit, hasn't seemed to age a bit.
Kevin Rose and
Jim Cornette?
RIP Beautiful Bobby
Met Ricky Morton at a wrestling event and had a chat with him.I told him I have followed him since I was a child and he said I made him feel old. I told him that he was one of the reasons I watched tag team wrestling. I have heard bad things about him but I never saw any hint of that in our interactions.
Stan Lane + Jim Cornette = Laurel and Hardy
I like how the heel team are the ones that are chill here
3 of the GOATs in Tag Team
this was great. good to see all these guys still around and doing well. 👍👍👍
this was a lot of fun to watch, thanks for posting
STAN LANE WAS PART OF THE FABULOUS ONES AND THE HEAVENLY BODIES WITH DR. TOM PRICHARD
why are these guys NOT in the hall of fame .its a major crime . loved watchin these guys as a kid
Great Video! All of these guys are just, "Class Acts" Thanks for sharing this!
Remember Rock n Roll vs Midnight Express was always match in history and... They been greatest rivalry together so much.. Thanks and always remember old history so great....
Legends all of them
LOL! Lane is killing it, funny guy!
I can't remember word for word but I remember Cornette said one time during a promo,"IF I TELL YOU THAT THE SUN ISN'T GOING TO COME OUT TOMORROW,YOU BETTER GO OUTSIDE WITH A FLASHLIGHT!". That is among my favorite Cornette promo rants.
dennis condry should be in these video
+Ricky Johnson jimmy del ray died a cpl yrs ago
Hes been very sick Cornette revealed recently so has been out of public limelight. Good news is he is better now and beat his illness.
Wow. What a reunion.
LEGENDS! would love to see Midnight Express in WWE HOF 1 day
Is it just me or does Beautiful Bobby Eaton look like comedian Ron White?
HAHAHA! Crazy story, Jimbo ! Thanks for sharing the airplane memories !
Simply, the best
Bobby Eaton is Boomhauer of king of the hill
Lol and robert can be bill lol
Lmao this comment is such gold!
Great stuff love it thanks bill
Stan Lane's rib story........classic!
These guys were the best, all of them. You just don't realize how much they did for the business.
By this time, both Expresses and Cornette (separately in the inaugural class) were in Meltzer's Hall of Fame.
i like to see a shoot interview with everyone in this video. That would be awesome.
Stan's wife is fine! The ladies always loved Stan Lane
Wow!!!!!! Its great to see you guys together!!!!!! Enjoyed all your matches. And reminis your matches on UA-cam
Sweet Stan Lane looks like Billy Gunn
Flash Gordon
Minus the roid rage
i have to say this was very funny! Stan is the man
Midnight Express and Rock n Roll Express two of the best tag teams ever.
Yup class of the times..great group of legends
I only got to see the rock and roll in the wwf wish I could have been at one of the matches with the midnight they brought the house down !
Wrestling back then was so much better than today's wresting and in my opinion the wrestlers themselves were more fun to watch and just better wrestlers!
a bunch of awesome dudes there !!
This is amazing love to see the legends.... this was when Wrestling was worth watching!!!!
Two legendary teams. I'm glad to see Bobby is doing well... I knew something was missing. Cornette!
Stan Lane looks like he could still "go"
I love the Midnight Express and The Rock and Roll Express.
That was fantastic. These guys made wrestling great and it is an absolute pleasure to see them all together and enjoying those great days of wrestling. I wish these guys great health and long life. And I agree with David Childers, Stan Lane looks great and I'm happy for him he found his soulmate.
WOW!!!! Some of the GREATEST Tag Teams in History - honored by this video!!!! hehe #Maria ;-)
I agree growing up watching the rock and roll express and midnight express during 1986 was unreal, road warriors to, but I think they've already been inducted in the hall of fame
seeing Ricky morton and stane lane brings back fond memories at the mid south colieseium and ta the wmc tv 5 memphis =)
Did Hell freeze over? I can't believe I'm actually seeing this!
I agree with Sweet Stan about Social Media . And in the words of The Great Brock Lesnar , when asked if he was on Twitter , Instagram or any other platform , "computers are stupid "
Stan Lane looks great for a man his age!
My top 4 tag teams are Rock n Roll express, Midnight Express, road warriors and Steiner Brothers.
this is where the chant "this is awesome" should come into play!
I remember in the mid 80's when Bobby Eaton never talked in interviews
i love the Reporters orginal 70s Style
So sweet Stan sent a letter to Maria lol
Great video. Funny story at the end. That was some great wrestling back in the day. Rivalries, excitement.everything.
MX (all members) , Corney, and the Bodies all belong in the HoF.
Stan ur awesome!
The Mulkey brothers would still be called superstars.
Now this was fun!!!
Is it just me or does Tom Pritchard look exactly like Ace Frehley of KISS?
to me more like Peter Criss
John Katsoudas He must have meant Peter, because he does look like a bigger Peter Criss .
Surrounded by legends
R.I.P., Bobby :(
I would love to hang out with these guys at a bar one night and just listen to the awesome stories of when wrestling was real!
Class wrestlers and humans.
This is like those old school southern promos where there were like 6 heels just ripping on the faces
The Heavenly Bodies vs The Steiners Bros . was a damned good match .
Hysterical, loved it!!
Always thought the rock and roll express was Vince Neil other job.
Bill Apter has a great memory!
Maybe when our generation passes away. We can get together in Heaven and have a great Wrestling matches..
Keep safe guys your a!l the Best.
Rip my pal bobby Eaton
I would think stan and bobby would be broke they could not of made that much but who knows..GREAT TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!
the BEST midnight express combo was dennis condrey and bobby eaton
Stan Lane is still as handsome as ever
All the guys look great! Really nice to see. The Rock N Roll Express should be in WWE HOF, here here!
They got inducted in 2017
@@michaeld6147 cool! Thanks for the info.
This is great!
Love this please do something in Florida
is that Benny Hill behind Apter?
😅😅😅
The Alabama jam haha !
Pure Wrestling Gold!
You young pups that want to learn the real art of wrestling NEED to get taught by Ricky Morton, He was the king of selling, getting the crowd involved (to the point of girls crying and reaching for him through the ropes) and making a killer comeback!
Trust this, you will learn and get more out of it than more than you payed for, bcuz RM is a true legend!
+Ham On Rye + Red Wine Fuck.....if you could get them to do it....between Stan, Bobby, Ricky and Robert (and maybe some of their peers from that era), I guarantee they could train a slew of tag wrestlers and have em ready within about a year for the show and they'd probably tear the house down.
+Syphon Filter I have a feeling with Triple H going to take over, he would no doubt look at all of these legends and use their advice for the next generation of tag teams in NXT. The New Day are great but imagine how good they would be if you have mentors like Lane and Eaton helping them with heel psychology.
85futureshock I hope so. I have a love hate relationship with Trip. I do support him wholly in rebuilding the tag-division if he will do it. Trip may be alot of things but he isn't stupid. Blind at times......but not stupid.
