The Rock 'n Roll Express

The Rock n Roll Express was a professional wrestling tag team comprised of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson that was popular in the eighties. It was formed in 1983 in Memphis. Ricky and Robert were origianlly paired together as an alternative to the popular team of Steve Keirn and Stan Lane, The Fabulous Ones, when they couldnt wrestle in certain towns. The gimmick of The Rock n Roll Express was a couple of high flying wrestlers who loved glam metal music, as it was a popular genre of muisc at the time. They soon made their way to mid-south wrestling where they started a legendary feud with the Midnight Express that would carry on into the NWA.
