Posted: May 27th 2008 By: mikeiles

Charlotte, NC (May 26, 2008) ? The National Wrestling Alliance? is pleased to announce the addition of The Midnight Express: ?Lover Boy? Dennis Condrey and ?Beautiful? Bobby Eaton to the NWA? Hall of Fame. To many the ?Midnights? (and with their Manager, NWA? Hall of Famer James E. Cornette) are the very definition of tag team wrestling. Condrey, Eaton and Cornette are the most popular and most acclaimed version of the team and is celebrating their 25th anniversary together this year.

Over the year?s the Midnight Express has battled just about everyone on the Pro Wrestling scene. They were involved in memorable feuds over the NWA? World Tag Team Championships with Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, The Fantastics and The Road Warriors. Most fans would argue that the ?Midnight?s? greatest foes were and still are NWA? Hall of Famer?s The Rock-N-Roll Express.

?We?ve always planned for something special for the people of Atlanta and with inducting the Midnight Express into our Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Express confirmed for the date our matchmakers have come up with a special attracting featuring these two great tag teams, ?The NWA? Hall of Fame Match,? it is our goal to make the NWA? Hall of Fame Match a special part of our larger events world wide? stated Robert K. Trobich, NWA? Executive Director.
