Jim Cornette on The New Midnight Express In 1998 

"Never lie about an obsessive record keeper" - Jim Cornette

Is that Bob "Spark Plug" Holly

The New Midnight Express was a terrible idea, but I think Bob and Bart could have gotten over in that era as a team of big, tough, no-nonsense guys who come out and just beat the shit out of people. But then again, that's pretty much the same gimmick as the APA.

The official Jim cornette pace car laughing my ass off love it

1:22 "Ehhll ah ah ooh oh ah ohhp" You alright Jim? 😂

The only thing I remember about the New Midnight Express is the awesome theme

Not a NASCAR fan, but I would definitely watch it if that car was out there.

Tom Pritchard and Chris Candido didn't get to keep their real names. :/

Gotta love Sparky Plugg

Adding NEW to anything in wrestling guarantees it will suck.

Is there a site where I can find the Nate Bash Song This Is Why, which was played at the end of this episode?

Severens theme and him in the grey shirt staring like a psycho scared me as a kid

There will Only ever be 1 Midnight Express come on folks.

Bob holly is mad underrated

Severn coming out with all the belts nwa world title ufc titles, Severn didn't touch Shamrock until he and Owen teamed up

That first Severn/Shamrock fight was brutal. Severn laid on top of Shamrock for like 37 minutes and he won the most boring decision in history.

Shit stain , kills me every time🤣

Looks like TRUEX's old paint scheme ! WOO !

The New Midnight Exp. Was as bad as spoiled milk poured on Cap-N-Crunch Crunchberries. The idea should’ve died as quick as a fart in a brisk wind.

Cornette wrong. New Midnight Express debuted before Wrestlemania 14 he saying they appeared night after. I know this cause they wrestled in 15 team battle Royal and were last team thrown out by LOD.

Bombastic Bob and Bodacious Bart the new Midnight Express

Shoutout to Don Hatley for the hilarious thumbnails!

You can't have a new midnight express that's disrespectful to the original midnight express.

Has anyone else noticed how poor Jim Ross’s podcast does number wise on here? I don’t listen to it because of the Conrad adds and all they do is reference the observer and then Jr adds a little sound bite. Love the Drive Thru because it’s way more informative and Corny is genuine and funny. Anyway. Go Cubs!

Teasing My Taint should be another Twinkletoes McFingerbang song...

Who doesn't love Bastard Bob and Ballbag Bart?

I swear I heard this before a few days ago but it seems it got reuploaded but just on the Drive-thru instead of the experirnce

A lot of people didn't like the Holly vs Lesnar match at the Rumble, but, I thought it got the point over as Holly came back to try to get revenge against Lesnar, but again, it went nowhere afterwards. They should've kept with it for a while longer.

I dunno , Axe and Smash beat the snot out of each other for The Royal Rumble

1.Did Jim mention Unforgiven, and then say that KOTR was Holly/Gunn's only PPV appearance? 2. And what about WM 14? 3. After that Brawl For All fight, Holly and Gunn kept teaming until they dropped the belts in August. There's an episode of, I think it was, Shotgun Saturday Night or Heat, where Cornette is doing commentary, and the Midnight Express come out to wrestle, and they insult Cornette at ringside.

i remember watching bob holly wrestle marcell pringle on a hot summer day at a used car lot

God, I remember this mess of an angle. Between this and the "NWA invasion" I was thinking the WWF had essentially surrendered to WCW and was driving itself out of business.

On a episode I came across,Shit Stain said that it was Cornette that pitched the New Midnight Express to Vince and that Vince said "Ok pal we'll put that out there so it can just fall flat on it's back" that's according to Shit Stain Russo

WWE lost it with Shamrock, Severn, Steve Williams & the 2001 Invasion... Also the NWO in the E.. It was all ruined.

9:41 lol

Couldve been a great team, and cornette with severn, jarett, cornette cpuldve had a great stable

About a year ago Bob Holly was at a local wrestling show and was only selling Sparky Plugg t-shirts. Dan Severn is a badass but he sounds like Adam Sandler in Billy Madison.

They showed up on Raw March 17 and double crossed the Rock and Roll Express. Watching that episode now

Damn my heartaches for ya jim

Oh come on Brian. First you put out the hour clip and then break it up 2 days later for MORE clips? 🤯

I was there at Unforgiven 1998... I could almost make out Jim Cornette from my seat in the nosebleeds.

Bob Holly wrestled better lighter but so did Bobby Eaton

Bombastic Bob

Vladtv is interviewing Dan Severen now 💯

When did he transition to hardcore holly was it when he was introduced into the Job Squad

Bombastic Bart!

Shamrock beat Severn by guillotine choke in like a minute. Severn won a split decision that was bullshit with weird rules. Shamrock > Severn in MMA and pro wrestling.

"Yes this is fascinating" Brian trolling Cornette like you would your old rambling uncle 😂

I don't understand the point of having the New _____ by default, they will ALL suck... If the original team is great, the New team isn't going to live up to their legacy, & if the original team sucked, you're copying a sucky team... I don't see the point??? The Rockers: great! NEW Rockers: shit, because they can't live up to the Rockers, right? The Blackjacks: great! NEW Blackjacks: shit, because they can't live up to the originals, right? Midnight Express: the best! NEW ME: stupid garbage!

A true failure of an idea.

I remember watching Hulk Hogan wrestle in Japan and he was working like Rey Mysterio Jr. But he changed his style in America. So I believe Jim when he says Bob Holly use to wrestle like Bobby Eaton. Eaton was excellent in wcw had a great match with Brian Pillman.

Bob Holly and Bart Gunn were good wrestlers and they coulda/woulda/shoulda been a great tag team together, they just should've been their own team instead of the "New Midnight Express", and yeah they never should've been put against each other in the Brawl. And Dan Severn should have been used like Brock Lesnar, the monster who only wrestles on occasion

Jim Cornette and Dan Severn could have been Paul Hayman and Brock Lesnar before Hayman and Lesnar was even a thing. Jim could talk just as good as Hayman and Severn was as legit as they came. I think WWF dropped the ball on that one.

Has anyone asked Jim about Edge’s claim that The New Midnight Express gimmick was originally pitched to him and Val Venis? Edit: I don’t know if these names were what got pitched to them but I read somewhere that they were going to be Adorable Adam and Sensual Sean.

It would be amusing if Tony Khan found a team to call the Express Midnights 🤔

Bob Holly should've had a welders gimmick with welder mask in the New Gen lol

Sparkie plug fuck what an awful gimmick ahahaha

The new midnight express was just as bad as the new rockers. Just awful.

WCW should have teamed Eaton with Alex Wright as the New Midnight Express with Big Bubba as their manager.

It's been Five days now! I want to hear Jim's thoughts on the UNDERTAKER'S COMMENTS!

I never saw this team wrestle but on first look on paper, it did not seem to be a bad team

Shamrock and Severn would have been an awesome New Midnite Express

These guys should wear masks. Right. Bye.

the new midnight express sucked

Cornette is a mark for Vince Russo

Really close behind the Steiners, The Midnight Express were my favorite tag team, mainly because of "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton. So it really pissed me off, at the time, when the WWE tried to push Holly & Gunn as the NME!

Same old story, if it didn't work Jim had NOTHING to do with it, if it worked then it was ALL his idea...

It was jimbos idea. He said it before years ago. Liar

Jim “Shitstain” Cornette

Severn and Shamrock were boring as hell!
