RnR Express smoked pot for Juggalo Championshit Wrestling, which clearly is a bigger bucket list item then MSG.
Real talk though, I wonder if the RnR Express even cared about MSG given their southern roots. They hit the Omni and Mid-Atlantic's big towns, starred in the Superdome and the Mid-South Coliseum, were headline acts for Starrcade and stadium shows, etc etc. New York may never have been high on their list(?)
Corny just talked this week about how JCP likely made around 1 million dollars selling RnR Express fan club packages in 86/87, of which the Express were each paid $21,000 for their share. (20 dollars a piece times 50,000 sold)
It's interesting to look at how the Express drew from 1984-1987 and then just meant very little to the bottom line. I'm not sure if the early 1988 Sheepherders/Express feud would have even been the B-tour co-main event Maybe Morton bleeding buckets and having his head shaved would have spiked interest had Dusty's vision played out?
In 88 they were in and out of JCP and then Morton jumped back in again briefly. They got ESPN TV exposure on the AWA show, but even that ended with Morton no showing so IIRC Groovy Greg teamed with Gibson. They were back in the AWA by years end for SuperClash 3, but clearly drew nothing in Chicago or PPV with their presence.
The most interesting stuff for 88 was their Memphis feud with the Midnight Rockers.
