Yesterday the WWE announced that The Rock 'n' Roll Express, one of the greatest tag teams in sports-entertainment history, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017 during WrestleMania Week. The news was first reported by CBSSports.com.

WWE superstars quickly took to Twitter to heap praise on the legendary tag team whose style both in and out of the ring came to define tag team wrestling in the 1980s.

Here are some of the best reactions to the Hall of Fame announcement.

Triple H

The Rock 'N' Roll Express are one of the greatest, most charismatic tag teams in our industry.
