7. Legendary Tag Team Announced For WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017
As we noted before, we were expecting a WWE Hall of Fame announcement Monday night and we got it. Legendary tag team The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Only other name announced at the moment for this year’s class is Kurt Angle.
Below is what WWE posted:
The Rock ’n’ Roll Express to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
The Rock ’n’ Roll Express, one of the greatest tag teams in sports-entertainment history, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017 during WrestleMania Week. The news was first reported by CBSSports.com.
Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson first joined forces in 1983, in fellow Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler’s Memphis-based territory, and immediately skyrocketed into superstardom. With long, flowing hair and bandanas adorning their flashy ring gear, The Rock ’n’ Roll Express were true rock stars stepping into battle inside the squared circle. The teen idol tag team squared off with the likes of “Macho Man” Randy Savage and his brother Lanny Poffo in Memphis, Tenn., but it wouldn’t be long before they began their worldwide journey to the top.
They still compete on the independent scene to this day, showing that rock ’n’ roll is here to stay. Making their argument even stronger is their latest accolade: entering the WWE Hall of Fame.
The Rock 'N' Roll Express are one of the greatest, most charismatic tag teams in our industry.
