Match # 47: Rock N Roll Express & Bobby Eaton vs. The Moondogs & Jimmy Hart (7/25/83) [EWY-8] This match is probably on here just as much for novelty as match quality. Here we have a really early pairing of the Rock N Roll Express, and they partner with future famed rival Bobby Eaton. How cool [...]

Match # 62: Rock N Roll Express vs Midnight Express (6/30/85) Cornette and the Midnights are already in the ring doing mic work and getting heel heat to start the festivities. I love this heel move on Cornette’s part, and I’ve seen it on this set a few times. It’s very cool. I’d like [...]

Match # 61: Rock N Roll Express vs Jake Roberts/The Barbarian (6/28/85) Final match in the Rock N Roll Express trifecta, and sad to say the prior two didn’t fully live up to expectation (though those were terribly high). Their second match with Doc/Dibiase was a good TV match, but not a ballot favorite, [...]

Match # 60: Rock N Roll Express vs Terry Gordy/Buddy Roberts 6/24/85 The first appearance of the Freebirds on this set, and as that is the case, Michael PS Hayes is out as the mouthpiece/manager of Gordy and Roberts. I was half expecting Roberts to have the wig and amateur head gear. Gordy is [...]

Match # 59: Rock N Roll Express vs Ted Dibiase/Dr. Death (6/19/85) The first of a RNR Exp. Trifecta of matches. Should be state-of-the-art tag wrestling to go with the state-of-the-art Flair matches from earlier. My ballot is getting turned upside down this week, though I’ve since read others saw the Flair matches as more [...]

Match # 56: Rock N Roll Express vs Dirty White Boys (5/11/85) This takes place in someone’s high school gym. Very indy looking. Big crowd though, and they chant “Rock N Roll” loudly. A LOT of women at a wrestling show. WOW. Dirty White Boys act like they’re leaving, but the bell rings and they [...]

Match # 53: Rock N Roll Express vs Dr. Death/Ted Dibiase 5/3/85 Want to guess the faces here? I loves me some Doc/Dibiase heel action. Let’s just get to it. Ricky Morton against Doc to start. I loved this match up earlier in the set, and they actually execute better hear. Morton smoothly and legit out [...]

Match # 50: Rock and Roll Express vs Dirty White Boys 4/15/85 The Dirty White Boys consist of Len Denton and Tony Anthony. Big rugged brawler types that look like Ted Dibiase’s unkempt older brothers. Very southern guys who fit the gimmick, and of course, they are the heels. We all know [...]

Match # 24: Midnight Express/Ernie Ladd vs Rock N Roll Express/Jim Duggan 7/2/84 First of all, they clipped ten seconds “down” points here and there, so the flow is messed up. It’s small, but it really makes you feel like you are watching a home movie with jump cuts. Pulls you out of the moment [...]

Match # 23: Rock N Roll Express/Duggan vs Midnight Express/Ernie Ladd 6/8/84 Another fun experiment on this disk – a six man tag where the first meeting (at least on the disk)and the second meeting are a month apart. It’s similar to the TA/Dibiase matches to start the set, but not the [...]

Match # 20: Midnight Express vs Rock N Roll Express 5/24/84 As research for this match I watched the first ever meeting of the MNX and RNR. This was in February of the same year, shortly after the arrival of all four Memphis area talents, but a week or two before the Midnights won [...]

Match #17: Buddy Landell/Butch Reed vs Rock N Roll Express 3/28/84 Now it gets difficult. We’re getting to the glory period of Mid South. It signals the arrival of the Midnight Express, as well as their foils, The Rock N Roll Express. The RNR just happen to be in this match. Ever heard of “playing [...]
