The concept of the pretty boy baby faces was nothing new, but the tandem of Morton and Gibson captured the imaginations with their speed, Rock and Roll attitude and their in ring performances. At the heart of their matches was the “face on peril” where the skilled worker Ricky Morton would take a pounding in the bulk of the match to make a hot tag to the slightly larger Gibson. It was a formula that they perfected and for a while they rivaled even the Road Warriors as the most popular tag team in wrestling. The list of teams that copied their style and look is a long one and even though their WWE runs were weak, the memories of their NWA days might be enough to grant an induction.
