* InNameOnly: The New Midnight Express, "Bombastic" Bob Holly and "Bodacious" Bart Gunn, who had a brief run in the WWF in '98. Neither Gunn nor Holly had ever been part of a previous iteration, or ever worked in any of the territories the real Midnight Express had. The only similarity they had with the Midnight Express was being managed by Cornette, and Cornette despised the whole angle.
