They feuded with the Midnight Express , Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee , The Sheepherders ( Butch Miller & Luke Williams ) , Randy Savage & Leapin ' Lanny Poffo and the Moondogs with whom they had a series of exceptionally bloody matches . They were also pioneers in the " MTV style " of promotion , creating promotional videos and spectacular entrances with their popular theme song " Everybody Wants You " by Billy Squier . The Midnight Express . In the early parts of 1987 Dennis Condrey left JCP from one day to the next leaving former partner Bobby Eaton on his own . Enter a man that Eaton is very familiar with and a man who ' s no stranger to tag - teaming , Stan Lane formerly of the Fabulous Ones ’ . Lane and Eaton knew each other well from working against each other in the past and this showed as the new version of the Midnight Express gelled from the beginning . Early on “ Sweet ” Stan added a deep radio “ DJ voice ” for manager Jim Cornette that would enrage the crowd . In May 1987 the combination of Eaton and Lane proved to be a golden one as they won the NWA US Tag - Team titles ( A title they would win three times during their time together ) . A year later the team was cheered on to victory as the Midnight Express won the NWA World Tag - Team Titles from Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard " ( See also : Brain Busters ) " on September 10 , 1988 . This feat meant that they were the first tag - team to ever hold both the NWA World tag - team and NWA United States tag - team titles , a feat only the Steiner Brothers would go on to duplicate in 1991 . The Midnight Express ’ run with the titles only last a little over a month and a half before the Road Warriors took the gold from them in a brutal match up that saw the Road Warriors turn heel ( bad guys ) and the Midnight Express turn face ( good guys ) . Now the fan favorites the Midnight Express soon had to contend with a blast from the past : The Midnight Express . Only this Midnight Express was billed as The Original Midnight Express as it consisted of Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose who had teamed up before Condrey and Eaton became a team . The duo was led by long time Jim Cornette nemesis Paul E . Dangerously in the hopes of proving that the originals were better than the new version . The shock of seeing the Original Midnight Express gave Dangerously ’ s team the initial advantage in the feud but once again Dennis Condrey left , being replaced by Jack Victory to cut the feud short . Due to various booking issues Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express left the promotion for a short while , around the time that Ted Turner brought out Jim Crockett and began promoting the federation as the National Wrestling Alliance / World Championship Wrestling . When the booking issues started to clear up Cornette and the Midnight Express returned to the federation and a very strong tag - team division . One of those teams was The Dynamic Dudes ( Shane Douglas & Johnny Ace ) , who admitted that the Midnight Express was one of their favorite team and asked if Cornette would be their manager as well . Cornette agreed but the Midnight Express were not happy about it at all . After arguing Jim Cornette stopped accompanying the Express to the ring , choosing to only manage the Dudes . At the Clash of Champions IX the two teams met with Jim Cornette in a neutral corner , forced to choose between the teams . The Express started out very aggressive , especially for a team that was supposed to be fan favorites and when the night was over the Midnight Express had once again established themselves as heels with Jim Cornette in their corner , Cornette had never stopped siding with the Express . After their heel turn the Midnight Express started feuding with Flyin ’ Brian and Z - Man Tom Zenk over the recently re - activated US Tag - Team titles , winning the gold from the young team in early 1990 . The Midnight Express would lose the titles to The Steiner Brothers 3 months later . After appearing at Halloween Havoc 1990 the Midnight Express split up when Jim Cornette and Stan Lane left the federation . For the first time in 7 years there was no Midnight Express , it was the end of an era in tag - team wrestling . The Heavenly Bodies . In late 1990 , Lane left when Ted Turner bought it and was turning it into WCW .
