The wrestling legends spoke with CBS Sports on Monday and admitted that the call from WWE caught them off guard. Morton called it a dream come true and both expressed interest in wrestling for WWE again as they continue to work indy matches each week.
“It was a surprise,” Morton told CBS Sports. “I had a message on my phone [from WWE] to call the number back. I think they got ahold of Robert at the time. When they called, it was just like a suckerpunch. It just knocked us off our feet.”
“It’s an honor for Ricky and me to go into the hall of fame,” Gibson added.
Meanwhile, past and present WWE Superstars congratulated the guys on Twitter and spoke about the impact they had on the business:
The Rock 'N' Roll Express are one of the greatest, most charismatic tag teams in our industry.
