"Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, one half of the Midnight Express, passed away yesterday. I never saw them wrestle live as NWA and WCW wasn't something I caught much in the 80s and early 90s, but it isn't hard to see the influence and legacy they left amongst tag team wrestling.

RIP Bobby Eaton He had a lot of health probs and sadly his wife died about a month ago

Now on a good note, he and Stan Lane was one of the best teams ever and was truly one of the teams that revolutionized tag team wrestling which is one of the many reasons what made the NWA/WCW so great, in fact IMO very reminiscent of AEW tag team division today

Indeed. Busted Open Radio on Sirius usually does a bit when wrestlers pass away and today's three hours were all about Bobby Eaton and just hearing people call in to talk about him he seemed like a genuinely good person, and a hell of a talent. I recommend looking it up if you can find it. I'm sure Cornette will have something on him, but I can't listen to him anymore because he's a whack job. I bet all the podcasts will have something on him soon. They had one of the cooler entrances back then, too. Way ahead of their time on that.

Yes, great stuff you posted there dude. Yeah, Cornette can be a real nut but I actually agree with some of his views especially about Kevin Dunn the WWF/WWE producer but that's a whole different topic there. Possibly more on that at later time.

Bobby Eaton will be missed

Oh, I don't mind Corny's wrestling takes, even if some of them are crotchety. It's when he gets off wrestling that I find him difficult to listen to.

I see.
