There has been a lot of speculation over the past week that legendary tag team The Rock N’ Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) will be inducted into the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame class.
The duo were one of the most beloved babyface tag teams in the 1980’s during their run in Jim Crockett Promotions, but were split when Turner Broadcasting purchased WCW. The duo got back together during their time in Smoky Mountain Wrestling and had brief runs in the World Wrestling Federation.
The internal expectation is that if The Rock N’ Roll Express get inducted that it would possibly rule out The Natural Disasters (Earthquake & Typhoon) being inducted this year. As of writing, only Kurt Angle has been confirmed for the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame class to date while names rumored to be inducted this year include “Ravishing” Rick Rude, Beth Phoenix, Diamond Dallas Page, Teddy Long, Christian and William Regal.
