The team consisting of Morton and Robert Gibson formed in 1983 in the Memphis territory and also had a run in Mid South Wrestling before going to Jim Crockett Promotions in 1985, where they famously feuded with The Midnight Express. They have continually been a presence on the independent scene, recently working matches in New Japan Pro Wrestling and the latest incarnation of the National Wrestling Alliance, where they briefly held the NWA World Tag Team titles.
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are set to face FTR in Spartanburg, South Carolina on January 22 at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium.
