2. Rock N Roll Express
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bIDgotzoAM Although they are most well-known for their time in the NWA, the Rock N Roll Express did make some appearances for the World Wrestling Federation and even defended another promotion's tag titles on one of their pay-per-views. Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson are simply tag team legends. Their matches with the Midnight Express are legendary and should be studied by anyone who wants to be a successful tag wrestler in the future. Ricky Morton in particular had a knack for selling a beat so badly that the live crowd sometimes tried to charge the ring and save him from the big, bad heels. Morton would even mouth the words "help me" to the women in the front row who would then scream and jeer as loud as they could to bring Ricky back to life. Even today, certain sarcastic internet writers (certainly not me) have called the babyface tag partner getting beat up "playing Ricky Morton". After their amazing run in the NWA in the late 1980s, the Rock N Roll Express found themselves in Smoky Mountain Wrestling and held their tag titles. They feuded with Jim Cornette's newest team the Heavenly Bodies and actually defeated them at WCW's Superbrawl III and lost to the Bodies at the WWF's 1993 Survivor Series event. They did not return to the WWF until 1997 during the awful NWA angle which seemed to be designed by Vince McMahon just to make Jim Cornette look stupid. However, they did wrestle the New Midnight Express (Bob Holly and Bart Gunn) at the 1997 Unforgiven pay-per-view. While the Express has certainly won their fair share of tag team gold, they really should have been given a run with the WWF tag belts at some point. When they were in SMW, the WWF's tag division was on the decline and the Rock N Roll Express could have given that division the shot in the arm it needed.
