10 Most Vicious Wrestling Manager Beatdowns
7. Original Midnight Express Bloodies Jim Cornette
In
November 1988, two ghosts from Jim Cornette’s past came back for vengeance.
The tennis-racket wielding manager took a phone call during Stan Lane’s squash
match, and it ended with Corny demanding the caller show his face. Seconds
later, Randy Rose and Dennis Condrey hit the ring, attacking Lane and Bobby
Eaton on the outside.
Rose
had teamed with Condrey years prior in Alabama as The Midnight Express. When
Condrey moved to the Mid-South territory, he met up with Eaton and Cornette to
form the team most recognized as the Express. However, he would later take a
sabbatical, leaving a spot open for Lane to fill.
Well,
Rose and Condrey reunited under the tutelage of a new manager, Paul E.
Dangerously. Cornette met Dangerously with the help of a cellphone cracked over
his skull, busting open the Dairy Queen basher and igniting a hot rivalry in
the process.
