“Dennis Condrey is one half of the greatest tag team of all time, The Midnight Express,” Harwood wrote. “For years they brought excitement and entertainment to millions of people. However, as great as he was in the ring, it doesn’t hold a candle to the human being he was. A sweet, God-fearing man who LOVED his wife Theresa. With permission, I’ve opened this GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and bills that she now has to take on her own. She didn’t ask for this. I asked, in his honor, could I do this for him. She allowed me to do this for Dennis & her but is expecting absolutely nothing but love in return. If Dennis Condrey and the Midnight Express ever brought any amount of joy to your life, and you’re able to help, please do. If not, it’s absolutely OK! Please send all your thoughts and prayers to Theresa Condrey in her time of need. God speed, ‘Loverboy’ Dennis Condrey.”
Harwood started off the GoFundMe with a $1,000 donation.
Condrey is best known for being a founding member of “The Midnight Express,” which really took off in the early 1980s when he was joined by “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton and manager Jim Cornette.
The team won the NWA Tag Team title for Jim Crockett Promotions.
