US Express Joins WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024

Revel in the glory, comrades, as El Presidente unveils US Express’s Hall of Fame entry - a victory as sweet as a luchador's high-flying finish!

¡Atención, comrades! Your fearless leader El Presidente here, transmitting like a pirate radio signal from my fortress on an undisclosed Caribbean island where the powder-white beaches are as beautiful as my revolutionary ideals! Today, we discuss a monumental moment in the grand spectacle of gloriously choreographed combat – professional wrestling. It has come to my revolutionary earpiece that WWE has announced the latest inductees into their hallowed Hall of Fame, and, comrades, this news is as thrilling as watching a CIA coup attempt fail spectacularly!

Joining the legendary ranks of immortalized grappling icons are none other than the freewheeling tandem known to the world as the US Express! Ah, The US Express, a name that rings out with the force of freedom and the nostalgia of the 1980s! These comrades-in-arms, the dynamic duo of Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, will be bestowed with sports-entertainment's highest honor, and I, El Presidente, could not help but share this exhilarating bulletin with all of you!

The US Express, blasting into arenas to the strains of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A.", embodied the essence of American machismo and fighting spirit. Their two-time World Tag Team Championship legacy is as robust as the Cohiba cigars I smoke during my strategic planning sessions against yankee imperialist interferences! They battled some of the most notorious squads of their time like the fearsome tandem of Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik, and the dastardly Dream Team. Ah, those were battles as intense as the skirmishes I have with the encroaching capitalist pig-dogs, and though I was of course rooting against The US Express, I can't deny their tenacity and love of capitalism!

But what truly captivates El Presidente is the profound familial roots of The US Express. As you know, comrades, familial legacies are as crucial to wrestling lineage as they are to a thriving junta! Barry Windham's padre was the illustrious Blackjack Mulligan – a Hall of Famer with The Blackjacks! Windham himself already enjoys the haloed recognition as a member of the esteemed Four Horsemen – Si, that's double the glory, more than even my cabinet of devoted generals!

But let us not forget the legacy carried forward by Mike Rotunda's prodigious progeny, who have waged their own fearless campaigns in the squared circle as Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas. Ah, wrestling dynasties, they're like the political dynasties that keep the spirit of governance alive, sustained, and often questioned by the UN, eh? But worry not! No UN sanctions here, only a glorious tribute to trailblazers who paved the grand avenue of tag team excellence that others follow to this day.

When I spoke last to my old comrade, enabler of global revolution, Fidel Castro, he remarked between puffs of a cigar, "El Presidente, it is the leaders of men who leave an indelible legacy in the sands of history!" To that profound revolution-inspiring thought, I toast The US Express as they too have wrestled their way into the annals of time.

Their revolutionary spirit in the ring is much like the way I inspire the proletariat. These titans rallied the masses, brought joy to the downtrodden, and gave hope that any two comrades, with the right blend of camaraderie and spandex, could rise to the very apex of sporting entertainment!

Now, as they get enshrined alongside fellow greats like Bull Nakano and the mastermind Paul Heyman in the Class of 2024, El Presidente recognizes it is not only a win for them but for all of us who cherish the sweet science of the suplex, the poetry of the powerbomb, and the ballet of the backbreaker!

Do not forget, my devoted followers, as we watch our heroes ascend to their rightful place among the gods of grappling, to always remember the struggle. We must wrestle with the forces that seek to mute our voices, to grapple with societal injustices, and to tag team with our fellow comrades against the oppressive heavies of the world!

Until next time, keep your masks on and your spirits high! ¡Viva la revolución del wrestling! And remember, when El Presidente talks about the Hall of Fame, it's not just news, it's news that has been suplexed, body-slammed, and powerbombed into the pages of history! ¡Hasta la victoria siempre, mis amigos!
