Dennis Condrey has sadly passed away at 74. He was a key figure in professional wrestling, known for his role in the legendary tag team, The Midnight Express, alongside Bobby Eaton and their manager, Jim Cornette. Many fans consider him a pioneer in tag team wrestling.
Condrey started his wrestling career back in 1973. He wrestled in several major promotions, including AWA, NWA, and Jim Crockett Promotions, making a name for himself across numerous territories. After a long career, he retired in 2011.
In a heartfelt gesture, fellow wrestler Dax Harwood has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs. Dax shared his thoughts on Dennis, saying, “Dennis Condrey is one half of the greatest tag team of all time, the Midnight Express. They brought excitement to millions. But beyond his talent, he was an incredible person.” He emphasized how much Condrey loved his wife, Theresa, and how he wanted to support her during this tough time.
Dax added that although Theresa didn’t ask for help, he wanted to honor Dennis by easing some of her financial burdens. Fans who appreciated Condrey’s impact in wrestling are encouraged to contribute if they can, but Dax stressed that thoughts and prayers for Theresa are equally valuable.
