Top 10 tag teams of the 1980s

#3 The Midnight Express

Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton were the most famous iteration of The Midnight Express

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most cohesive tag team unit of the 1980s was the Midnight Express.

It seemed like they were inventing new double team moves every week, dazzling the crowd with both Stan Lane's martial arts prowess and Bobby Eaton's high flying ability.

The Midnight Express is the first team to hold both the US Tag titles and the NWA world tag titles at the same time. With their larger than life mouthpiece Jim Cornette singing their praises from the announce booth, the Midnight Express were undeniably entertaining, feuding with all the great tag teams of their era--most notably the Rock and Roll Express.
