Most Popular Tag Team of the '80s Returns To Charlotte

Posted: Feb 4th 2012 By: CMBurnham

Without a doubt the most popular tag team in the South in the mid- to late-1980's, Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton were the rage of the wrestling world at a time when the sport?s popularity peaked.

Teenage girls (or ?teeny boppers? as Ric Flair would call them,) were crazy over these two. So popular were they that, in the summer of 1986, Jim Crockett Promotions staged ?The Rock-n-Roll Express Super Summer Sizzler Tour,? mostly in jam-packed outdoor stadiums and ballparks throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The supercards featured the Gibson-Morton duo in the main event, usually against Arn and Ole Anderson.

The Rock-n-Roll Express join former NWA referee Tommy Young, former NWA World Junior champion Denny Brown, former rivals Tully Blanchard and Magnum T. A., and former Mid-Atlantic and World Wide TV wrestling hosts Bob Caudle and Rich Landrum as the first eight featured guests for this year?s NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend, which takes place Thursday through Sunday, August 2-5 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Many more of wrestling?s legendary heroes and villains will be added to the reunion?s lineup over the course of the next few months.
