Condrey and Rose resurfaced in NWA flagship promotion World Championship Wrestling (with Dangerously) in November 1988, now known as "The Original Midnight Express". During the November 5 episode of World Championship Wrestling, Jim Cornette kayfabe received an anonymous phone call. The caller ridiculed Cornette over Eaton and Lane's loss of the NWA World Tag Team ChampionshiptoThe Road Warriors on October 29. Cornette recognized the caller and basically asked him to come say it to his face. At that point, Dangerously and the Original Midnight Express hit the ring and proceeded to pummel Cornette and Stan Lane, who was wrestling in a singles match. By the time Bobby Eaton showed up, it was three on one. Cornette showed up the next week on TBS carrying his blood stained suit jacket and the feud was on.[2] The teams wrestled at Starrcade '88, but nothing was solved. The Midnights vs. Midnights would be the hottest feud in WCW for months, building up to a six-man tag match involving the managers on pay-per-view in February 1989. The one who got pinned would have to leave the promotion. However, WCW (the former Jim Crockett Promotions) was under new ownership and in transition at the time and many wrestlers were coming and going. At the last minute, Condrey decided to leave WCW. Jack Victory was brought in as his replacement and the match went forward, but at this point no one really cared. Rose would leave WCW for a time and Dangerously would go on to bring in the Samoan Swat Team or SST as his new team. Rose would return to WCW for a brief time in mid 1989.
He returned to wrestling in 2004 working in independent shows in Alabama. On May 5, 2006, Rose reunited with Dennis Condrey losing to the Steiner Brothers in a Steel Cage match for TNT Wrestling in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Four months later they lost to Brad and Bob Armstrong. Afterwards, Rose retired from wrestling again.
On January 10, 2015 he teamed with Tom Prichard as they lost to the Rock N' Roll Express for Big Time Wrestling in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Rose was also very involved with charity work during his wrestling career and tried to use his status as a pro wrestler to raise money.
