The Midnight Express was a Professional Wrestling Tag Team from the 1980s. It started in Alabama when "Loverboy" Dennis Condrey started teaming with "Ravishing" Randy Rose. After feuding with Norvel Austin and various partners, Austin turned heel and joined with Condrey and Rose. They spent some time in Memphis before returning to SECW. The team split in 1983.Condrey and "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton formed the second version after Eaton was traded from Memphis to Mid-South. It was here where they started their epic feud with The Rock 'n' Roll Express. The MX had a brief run in World Class before jumping to the National Wrestling Alliance in Charlotte in 1985. They feuded with the RNRs and The Road Warriors until Condrey surprised a lot of people in 1987 by leaving without really giving notice. This led to "Sweet" Stan Lane, formerly of The Fabulous Ones, replacing Condrey after Jim Crockett brought him in after closing down Florida.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, Condrey and Rose had reformed their team in the AWA with manager Paul E. Dangerously. They surprised everyone by jumping to the NWA to feud with Eaton and Lane and manager Jim Cornette. Cornette's team ultimately won the feud, sending Condrey and Rose away. The MX left after 1990, with Lane eventually going with Cornette to set up SMW.Even into the 2000s, Condrey/Rose/Eaton/Lane could still be found together in various combinations to compete at legends shows and on the indy circuit. The Express' final match involved Condrey and Eaton at an August 2011 legends show run by JCW. The first primary member to pass away was Eaton in 2021.Among their in-ring achievements: They were 2x NWA (Mid-Atlantic) World Tag Team Champions (1x Condrey/Eaton, 1x Eaton/Lane), 1x AWA World Tag Team Champions (Condrey/Rose) and 3x NWA (Mid-Atlantic) United States Tag Team Champions (Eaton/Lane).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with Midnight Express | |

Arch-Enemy: The Rock N Roll Express, the Road Warriors, the Fantastics The Midnights vs. Midnights feud was the In-Universe beginning of the Cornette-Heyman feud. According to Cornette, Jim Herd hated the Express in Real Life. Herd was a significant factor in the team breaking up in 1990 when Lane and Cornette left the company. | |

Ambiguously Gay: Suspected of Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane, if not for each other than for the sissy Cornette, whom fans didn't even think was "ambiguous" during the 80s. Cornette and Eaton played this up for homophobic crowds by hugging and kissing on the cheek before matches. | |
