Talk:The Midnight Express (professional wrestling)

message: I know no one will ever see this, but wasn't there a masked Midnight Express in CZW a few years ago? Inhumer 01:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This..  states "Attempts were made to establish "new" MX teams on two different occasions during the '90s (Bob Holly and Bart Gunn in WWE, Joey Maggs and "Hardwork" Bobby Walker in WCW), but neither effort came close to recapturing the magic of the 1980s version". Is there more on this?  
More..
How's about that, then?
:None of those really strike me as good sources. A couple of them even identify Eaton and Maggs or Eaton and Walker as the Midnight Express. I'd have to go back and watch the original programs to tell for sure. --Khajidha (talk) 15:19, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I keep finding match reports and videos of Eaton and Maggs and Eaton and Walker, but can't find anything definitive on Maggs and Walker.--Khajidha (talk) 15:38, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Joey Maggs and Bobby Walker 

message: Rewatched Chi-Town Rumble. Rose is introduced as "Representing the Original Midnight Express", and Victory is "...and his partner". The introduction makes it sound like Victory is nor, and never was intended to be thought of being, a member of the Midnight Express. If that's the case, the same could be true of Rip Morgan. Someone who teamed with a ME member, but was not himself a member.
And then there's the trio of Midnight Stallion, Man Mountain Harris and Norman Frederick Charles III, who were are members of Midnight Express Inc., but not necessarily members of the Midnight Express...?
:I think you're overthinking your first point. Couldn't it also be interpreted as saying that "Randy Rose and his partner, Jack Victory" are collectively representing the Original Midnight Express? Your second point is kind of in the same vein as my previous mention of separating the "core team" from all the various add ons and associates. How strictly defined is the distinction between the Midnight Express (the tag team) and Midnight Express Inc. (the stable)? Has anybody got a copy of Cornette's Midnight Express book? That might be a good resource.--Khajidha (talk) 16:55, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actual members? 

message: Recapped here 
Brad Armstrong and The Shadow did NOT win the SECW Tag Team Titles on May 4 1981. It appears they were never SECW Tag Team Champions together at all! Multiple articles are thus wrong.
Austin may very well have turned heel on Armstrong on July 27 1981, but again, go to the When They Were Cool website.
The SECW Tag Title article is full of errors too, including teams that didn't exist yet winning the belts, non-existent title changes, and changes that DID occur not being listed, because these REAL title changes don't fit into the false title history listed there.197.86.195.204 (talk) 18:18, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  The "source" for those dates is given as a book. Does anyone have the text from that book? 197.86.195.204 (talk) 15:30, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nonsense in the beginning 

message: I understand why someone would choise to remove them from the main members box, but they were arguably the highest-profile version of the team, appeared on World Wrestling Federation pay-per-views(including WrestleMania XIV), and RAWs during the most-watched era, and were NWA World Tag Team Champions.
:That was just an oversight on my part. I am still researching the other names that had been in there, so that a more coherent picture of the history of the team may be written.--Khajidha (talk) 12:19, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gunn and Holly 

message: The origin mentions stuff about Brad Armstrong and Norvell Austin, and even gives dates.
However
a) The information is wrong.
b) It gives a book as its source. But The book does not contain that information at all. Seriously, I've just read the book, and NOWHERE is that said. At all. It's a blatant lie about a "source". The entire section needs to be rewritten!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.86.195.163 (talk) 13:47, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
