Tributes to Dennis Condrey of the Midnight Express proceed to pour in from those throughout the wrestling world following the news of the star’s passing on the age of 74 on March 21. One in every of those that offered their condolences to Condry’s widow and shared memories of their time with him was former WCW commentator Tony Schiavone, who paid tribute to Condrey during an episode of “What Happened When.” Schiavone said he was going to miss his fellow WCW alum as a wrestler, an individual, and an excellent guy who “f***** around with him” so much.
“Dennis was one in every of my favorite guys, he and Bobby [Eaton],” Schiavone said. “It’s hard to imagine that Bobby is gone, and now Dennis is gone… I had a lot fun with those guys within the studios of TBS. [Jim] Cornette was at all times so focused on what he was going to say that he never did screw around with me, he was at all times the mouthpiece, right? But, as we were happening, and you possibly can return and watch any of the interviews or promos that the Midnight Express did on the set with me, and also you take a look at it closely and also you watch it a pair times, you will notice Dennis and Bobby f****** with me endlessly.”
Schiavone said the tag team would step on his feet and say things in his ear when their manager was talking, attempting to make him laugh. He said he knew why AEW’s Dax Harwood and Money Wheeler pay homage to Midnight Express on a regular basis, due to how great they were, and the way they set the usual for tag wrestling.
