Charlotte, NC (May 26, 2008) – The National Wrestling Alliance® is pleased to announce the addition of The Midnight Express: “Lover Boy†Dennis Condrey and “Beautiful†Bobby Eaton to the NWA™ Hall of Fame.

Condrey, Eaton and Cornette are the most popular and most acclaimed version of the team and is celebrating their 25th anniversary together this year.
Over the year’s the Midnight Express has battled just about everyone on the Pro Wrestling scene. They were involved in memorable feuds over the NWA™ World Tag Team Championships with Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, The Fantastics and The Road Warriors. Most fans would argue that the “Midnight’s†greatest foes were and still are NWA™ Hall of Famer’s The Rock and Roll Express.
