During their heyday, the ultra-popular Rock 'N' Roll Express were a pair of teenyboppers who made fans go crazy. In the 1980s, the men were two of the top babyfaces in the sport - young, good-looking guys who spent their late 20s and early 30s living as larger-than-life rock stars.

Well, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson aren't young anymore, but that's okay - especially given how many of their contemporaries never reached their 50s and 60s. Getting older has its own unique joys, as well - during his speech, Gibson revealed that soon after getting the call that he was being inducted into the Hall of Fame, he got another call - both of his kids were having kids of their own, so he was going to be a grandfather twice over. Morton shared that he had seven kids, and already has seven grandkids.

It's always nice to see wrestlers age well and enjoy some of the benefits of getting older. Given that Morton and Gibson both still wrestle, though, they haven't given up on feeling the rush of youth, either.
