Jim Cornette on Stan Lane Replacing Dennis Condrey In The MIdnight Express 

The Midnight Express w'Jim Cornette should be in the hall of fame (both versions)

RIP Beautiful Bobby. Greatest tag teams of all time (both of his versions of Midnight Express)

Midnight Express needs to be inducted into WWE Hall Of Fame

Stan Lane has always had a very interesting look to me. Like a mix between Curt Hennig and Lex Luger,i grew up more on WWF but I’d like to know more about Stan Lane as a talent and how he & Jim vibed so effortlessly

Bobby & Stan was the best version. They meshed together so well it was scary. The best elements of The Fabulous Ones & The Midnight Express became a new tag team.

Stan Lane made a MUCH better partner for Bobby anyway . They were much more creative together . Greatest tag team to hold the U.S. tag titles

It was amazing how well Stan Lane was such a great fit for the Midnight Express.

stan and bobby had such chemistry -- dennis was a worker but stan can talk, and get the crowd going -- bobby was more quiet and technical - they complimented each other and it showed

Beautiful Bobby Eaton💙was underrated as a solo and tag team wrestler. I used to love his theme music he use to come out to in WCW as a solo wrestler R.I.P. Bobby Eaton🙏🏿🤼‍♂️

Jimmy nailed the Dusty imitation!

I preferred sweet stan/beautiful Bobby version . Dunno why as Dennis was better worker just the midnights will always be stan n Bobby to me

With Cornette on the microphone, they could've gotten a potted plant over.

Stan and Bobby were the ones who got the TV exposure here, Dennis had left by the time WCW had arrived on screen.

I always found Stan Lane a better fit. Billy Gunn reminded me of him so much. Talented, charismatic and underrated.

Two months later, Condrey would be on ESPN teaming with Randy Rose as The Original Midnight Express managed by Paul E. Dangerously. While the Condrey/Eaton Midnights were better at drawing heat, the Eaton/Lane team was better ring wise.

My memory starts @ 4 years old in "86 with Sweet Stan Lane dancing & Beautiful Bobby's legdrop off the top rope!!

Bobby and Stan was my introduction to the Midnight Express.

RIP Beautiful Bobby 🙏All time greatest tag team.

Jim Cornette mocking Dusty's voice got me in stitches.😂😂😂😂

My God, that Dusty impression was damn near perfect. For a brief moment I actually thought I was listening to Dusty. 😂

Bobby was such a underrated awesome wrestler.

I always wondered why. Glad this came up in my recommendations.

Never seen Dennie's start watching wresting in 86 but was UWF in mid 86 . Watched NWA in Summer of 87 fell love w Stan and Bobby best tag team ever beside the Hart Foundation ,man been hell of a match Midnight's vs hart foundation ,that been too sweet.

Stan proved that looks and presentation do matter. They were good before but once they got Stan,their wardrobe matched,Cornette’s promos were on 10 and Stan & Bobby just flowed together in the ring so smooth.

R.I.P. Bobby Eaton

Stan lane was a big upgrade visually & to the image of the midnight!

Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane were expendable cause the heart and soul of the Midnight Express was Jim cornette and Bobby Eaton

Sweet Stan was the best version

Jim Cornette can imitate Dusty Rhodes voice and lisp like no other 😂😂😂😂

I love your Dusty impersonation

I'm wondering how did Steve Keirn felt when his partner left him to join the midnight express ............is there any video out there on youtube

I liked Condrey/Eaton better. But Eaton/ Lane were great too.

This is off subject, but my favorite heel turns always revolved around Superstar Dundee. You never knew when he was going to do it. Like when Lawler had a match with jobbers and he wanted to replace him to get a title shot and then during their tag team runs he turned trying get tag title match against the Fabulous Ones and Lawler didn't want to cause they were both faces at the time and didn't want split the crowds.

Stan Lane was the perfect choice, as the replacement for Dennis Condrey. Stan and Bobby Eaton meshed together extremely well, as the Wrestling Members of the Midnight Express.

His dusty Rhodes voice was good. Sounded like it was really dusty talking

I’m good I might do some work from home later today

The way things roll off the tongue is how it should come out. Look at the firearm company Smith and Wesson..if you turned it around and said "Wesson and Smith " it just wouldn't sound the same...

You know Jim has never said WHY Dennis never came back. I wonder if Dennis killed someone or did something illegal for Corny to agree like a damn blood brother to never say why.

Why does Corny always deflect the real reason Dennis left, and he calls Fat Pritchard the “Artful Dodger” lol

Why did Condrey leave.. was that ever learned?

Sooooooooo? Had the Midnights just gotten back from getting a WWF deal? Inquiring minds, and all!

When you don't tell people they tend to imagine the worse. 15 stint in prison? Who knows...

Stan Lane is the only guy who could have replaced Dennis Condrey. The team didn't miss a beat.

From the old school wrestling junkie the birth of the midnight Express we have dangerous Dennis and beautiful Bobby they really took the tag team along with the rock and roll Express but to replace dinners with sweet Stan maybe equally but stan and Bobby Hit the tag team motherload by beating the four horsemen of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard they were the undisputed tag team champions of the world 🌍 and you can say about James E Cornette he was the manager of the decade cuz wrestling is not like it used to be !👍 Forget Dennis some credit though he was a great a great partner for the midnight Express !

I remember the 2nd version

I thought Stan was a perfect fit with the Midnights.

So why did Dennis leave not telling his partners why

Dennis was pissed off at Jim & Bobby. Jim and Bobby didn't want to go to the WWF.

Lane and Eaton were more.....astethically pleasing to be honest. Not really trying to knock condrey. The Midnight Express (Mark II) were definetly more *ahem* Tv Friendly

Stan Lan was a great replacement but the Milliom Dollar question what happened to Stan Lane and Steve Keirn as The Fabolous Ones

Would have loved to own the Midnight Express action figures.

One thing I would like to ask James E is this, when he and the Midnight Express, of Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton, turned Babyface to battle Paul E Dangerously's original Midnight Express who made the call to turn him, Lane and Eaton babyface?

So does anyone know the reason Dennis disappeared?

Without Dennis Condrey they weren't no midnight express.

I preferred the ME with Condrey and Eaton. I liked Lane better with Keirn in the Fabulous Ones.

Dennis and Bobby, I think were more heel. They were brutal.

I liked both versions but I think the midnight express with stan lane was far more better and exciting to watch....I liked when they fought the original midnight express...that's was great excitement

Maybe Dennis was messing around far too often and needed to hide his tracks? That's a guesser

Because of injuries Dennis Condrey had to leave wrestling but yet the old Midnight Express was chasing after the rock and roll Express yet when Stanley became part of the team me up with Bobby Eaton they became a greater tag team that won and beat The Four Horsemen back in the days either went Stanley or dens country with Bobby eating the Midnight Express was still one of the greatest tag teams ever and they had James E Cornett along the way !

Dennis was too unreliable, he left one of the best tag teams in all of wrestling hanging, I would have buried him too. On top of that Stan Lane is night and day better then Dennis Condrey both in the ring, on the mic and he was a lot better looking. My dad told me about Stan's mic ability, he seen them live on numerous occasions at the Norfolk Scope and over in Charlotte NC.

So, nobody is gonna say what actually happened, huh?

Back in the day when you could just disappear

The new midnight Express was better.. I remember Dennis from the earlier years and I love Stan Lane better

Bobby looked a lil less beautiful next to Stan

I was a Dennis guy from the second,he,dropped down to his knees and challenged wee Willie to put up,his dukes. Dennis just always knew which asshole button to push and how hard to push it.

Both were good but I kinda like Stan Lane and Bobby better for looking more similar but wrestling different but still meshing so well together. What's funny to me is that both Cornett and Bobby basically said they didn't stay mad and never bothered to ask Dennis for an explanation until he told them 15 years later.

they sold out everywhere they went

So what was the story with Dennis?

Everything Bobby Eaton did was diamonds rip the goat 🐐

Not sure bout the situation but I think the Midnight Express are in the only wrestling hall of fame that matters. The professional wrestling hall of fame. Fuck the Wwe hall of fame

Dennis left because Corny and Eaton didn’t want to take the big money in the WWF, end of story

To be fair to Jim, Dennis Condrey was the Weak Link.

Wallace Stanfield Lane, who many aren't aware of his run w/Keirn as The Fabs in Memphis. They were hugely over. Bobby Eaton is/was one of the best workers ever.

So why DID Dennis leave

I was a fan of the Rock n Roll Express and the Fantastics.I always hated the Midnight Express,I was always yelling at the TV,saying that damn Cornette.Now I have the outmost respect for them because they were apart of my fondest memories of tag team wrestling.

Wish we got to have a Dennis Condrey & Stan Lane version

I care about stuff

Cornette. Maybe Dennis was fucking tired of the road...And needed Fam Time? WTF!

Back in the greatest days of Wrasslin, that’s when it was at the TOP! After WWF took over, it lost me and millions of fans! The Only time I tuned in was during the Attitude Era, a.k.a. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Once he was gone, it returned to the garbage heap!

Stan Lane was excellent

Midnights will always be Eaton and condrey to me. Stan was too over in the fabs for too long to be anyone else. Just my opinion.

What if it had been beautiful bobby and stunning steve

Stan lane the fantastics

Loved the Condrey&Eaton version of the midnight express,stan lane really didn't bring much to the team as far as working ability goes. I can see if stan bought youth to the team but he was closer in age to Condrey maybe a year older.

I liked Lane better than Condrey

Eaton and lane were good. However Eaton and condrey were a better team.

I wonder why no ever thought to hire someone to play the part of Cornette's mother

I hated Sweet Stan with his lil bitty limbs & that cheap karate.

No disrespect to Dennis;but Stan and Bobby was definitely a better team

I love how Jim forgives Dennis for directly screwing him not once, but twice and ruined his position within WCW, but has a vendetta against Kenny Omega for no showing a booking that could be solved with the stroke of a pen with no reprisals on him.

Being personal friends w/Denny/Bobby/Jimmy, I know the real reason why Denny left. Nice that Jim still doesn't give the real reason.

PM me for an invite to LOCKERZ!

Dennis > Stan

I wanna see Jonah Goldberg debate Jim Cornette he'd absolutely destroy Cornette

Dennis left because Corny and Eaton didn’t want to take the big money in the WWF, end of story
