AEW star Dax Harwood of FTR spoke with WrestleZone about several topics, including his pitch to Tony Khan to bring back The Rock Nโ Roll Express (Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton) to the company.
Harwood said, โI pitched to Tony [Khan] to bring Rock โnโ Roll, I wanted to bring them to Asheville and Charlotte, but we could only get them for Charlotte, which is great. Having Ricky and Robert there, they could be so easily forgotten about because WWE, they havenโt, I donโt want to say doesnโt because I donโt know the current regime, but they havenโt liked to promote and show what wasnโt a WWE product. Ricky and Robert never were, aside from a few months in โ92 and again in โ98, aside from a couple of months, they werenโt part of the WWE, so itโs easy to forget how great they were. But they were, in my opinion, they were the greatest babyface tag team of all time, I would put them one and two with greatest tag team of all time, in my opinion, Midnight Express are the greatest tag team of all time. But Ricky Morton, the greatest babyface, if you watch him, he is the greatest babyface.โ
