• The Rock 'n Roll Express are one of the most legendary tag teams in the history of the business. Although smaller than most teams they've faced, the Express held the NWA World tag team titles on various occasions, and defeated every top team in the business, including the Road Warriors, the Midnight Express, the Fabulous Freebirds and the Russians (Ivan Koloff and Khrusher Khruschev). Morton also teamed with the Junkyard Dog and Tommy Rich (while Gibson was out with a leg injury) to capture the WCW 6-man titles. The Rock 'n Rollers even broke up at one time and engaged in a bitter feud with each other, with Morton taking on the heel role before the team reconciled. The Express' bitter feud with the Midnight Express and particularly Jim Cornette is legendary.

• In 1993, the Express saw their first WWF action. They had just renewed their feud with Jim Cornette and Cornette's new team, the Heavenly Bodies, in the now-defunct Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Due to the WWF's affiliation with Smoky Mountain Wrestling, the Express appeared on WWF television as the SMW tag champs, and even had a match at the Survivor Series that year, during which they lost the belts to the Bodies.

• After several years of wrestling on independent cards around the United States, the Rock 'n Roll Express once again became affiliated with the "new" NWA. This affiliation brought them back to the WWF in 1998. They alligned themselves with the same man they'd feuded with for years, Jim Cornette. However, they would lose the NWA tag team titles (that they brought with them into the WWF) to the Headbangers, and ditched Cornette right after.
