The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express were in the pool of people who deserved to be in the WWE Hall of Fame years ago, but for some reason, they were passed by every year.

However, 2017 is their year. When their names were dropped as the next inductees this year, it set the wrestling world on fire and their peers have since taken to social media to congratulate the legendary team.
Wrestling legends and current superstars alike sent their congratulations out to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express on achieving an honor that should have been bestowed upon them years ago.
Congratulations to @RealRickyMorton and the Rock and Roll Express for their being inducted into the @WWE Hall of Fame this year.

Karl Anderson contributed something special to the message he sent to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, they also say that Rock ‘n’ Roll will never die…both of these phrases apply in this case.

Jim Cornette is a former manager of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, and he also belongs to the list of people who should be in the WWE Hall of Fame. For some reason, he has been sorely left out of the WrestleMania weekend ceremony.
He has told his “Cult of Cornette” on numerous occasions that he will probably never make it to the Hall of Fame, and he seems to be fine with that fact.
Corney sent out a poignant congratulatory message to his former clients and also spoke very fondly of them in this week’s episode of his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience.
Just caught up w/ Twitter! CONGRATS #ROCKNROLLEXPRESS on #Classof2017 @wwe #HOF2017 No team more deserving than Robert & @RealRickyMorton !!
