Before the show, he requested to booker Dusty Rhodes to be named Blue Thunder. Rhodes refused and decided to name him Wee Willie Wilkens.On March 23, 1986, he and Eaton met again at another World Championship Wrestling TV taping at WTBS Studios, this time with Eaton teaming up with Dennis Condrey as the Midnight Express against Wilkens and Phil Brown; the match would air six days later on March 29. Throughout the match, Wilkins was showing too much offense and refusing to sell for both Condrey and Eaton, which led the Midnight Express to throw legit strikes to Wilkins. The Midnight Express won the match, but after the match, Wilkins kicked Eaton from behind, while on his back, which led to Condrey, Eaton and Jim Cornette beat the hell out of him.
