On the latest episode of The ARN Show, Arn Anderson talked about the induction of Demolition into the WWE Hall of Fame, Dennis Condrey’s departure from the Midnight Express, and more. Condry, a founding member of the Midnight Express, passed away late last week.
Anderson also discussed Demolition’s WWE Hall of Fame induction that will happen at WrestleMania. You can check out some highlights below:
On the induction of Demolition:
“Oh yeah, I love them both. I’m thrilled that they’re getting in. It was — should have happened a long time ago but that’s not my call, obviously. But yeah, I’m happy they’re going in.”
On Condrey Leaving the Midnight Express:
“We did a show I think in Jacksonville, an afternoon show. We landed at Butler Aviation, we were flying on the private jet. And me and Bobby and Dennis, we lived very close together in Pineville, North Carolina, which is right outside of Charlotte. Bobby had his car out there and he drove me and Dennis home. When Dennis got out, he said, ‘Thanks guys, appreciate the ride,’ went in his house. We never saw him again.”
On Reports That it Was Due to a Paternity Situation:
“You know what, I didn’t see Dennis enough times over the years to be comfortable asking something that wasn’t mind of business anyway. So we never had that conversation. He just literally [left]. There was not anything that would point towards anything was remiss.”
