The New Midnight Express was a terrible idea, but I think Bob and Bart could have gotten over in that era as a team of big, tough, no-nonsense guys who come out and just beat the shit out of people. But then again, that's pretty much the same gimmick as the APA.

I think brawl for all killed Severn in wwf I guess they though he do well but Severn in the MMA was all wrestling not a good striker and he presented his weaknesses so he dropped out had Severn never enter that he may have had a run they should have atleast did Severn vs Shamrock but brawl for all no one got over and I get they were trying to capitalize on UFC's but having shoots backfired they did the same with raw underground but it was scripted no one got over

Love the Drive Thru because it’s way more informative and Corny is genuine and funny. Anyway. Go Cubs!

1.Did Jim mention Unforgiven, and then say that KOTR was Holly/Gunn's only PPV appearance? 2. And what about WM 14? 3. After that Brawl For All fight, Holly and Gunn kept teaming until they dropped the belts in August. There's an episode of, I think it was, Shotgun Saturday Night or Heat, where Cornette is doing commentary, and the Midnight Express come out to wrestle, and they insult Cornette at ringside.

Bob Holly and Bart Gunn were good wrestlers and they coulda/woulda/shoulda been a great tag team together, they just should've been their own team instead of the "New Midnight Express", and yeah they never should've been put against each other in the Brawl. And Dan Severn should have been used like Brock Lesnar, the monster who only wrestles on occasion

@Ze TheGame Do you even know who Severn is?? At 6'2", 260 lbs Dan Severn wasn't small, not even compared to the other members of the WWE roster, and his abilities were well known, if they weren't Vince and the WWE were more then capable of hyping them up, and while he wasn't the overwhelming physical specimen Brock was in pure technical terms Dan made Brock look like Iron Mike Sharpe, he was right up there with Angle. That's the monster they should have portrayed
