"Sweet" Stan is most notable as one-half of the most successful version of the Midnight Express, but that's hardly his only team of note. He was also one of the Fabulous Ones alongside Steve Keirn, and the duo captured 16 championships in Memphis. Granted, Memphis was known for hot-shotting titles, but that's still like 7 or 8 titles in a regular territory.

After the Midnights dissolved, Stan ventured to Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain territory to form the Heavenly Bodies and train the next generation of tag teams.
