Pro Wrestling Legend Bobby Eaton(Midnight Express) gone at age 62

This was the guy…Nobody ever had a bad thing to say about Bobby Eaton…He was considered to be a heel tag-team partner in the historic Mid Express tag-team, but everybody in the professional wrestling business liked Bobby Eaton…He was a great guy, who could work/wrestle with anyone and make it a good match…

He was thought of as being one of the best technical wrestlers, to ever lace up the boots…You hate to lose people like this, but Bobby Eaton is gone, at age 62…

He had been in bad health in recent years, suffering a stroke and he had other troubling medical ailments…

Bobby Eaton supported his family, and he saved his money, he did not live like a millionaire…He was smart, kind and fair to everyone he met, and I never met him, but I can not tell you the number of times that I have read articles that talked about how good a person Bobby Eaton was…

We have lost a good one…RIP:Bobby Eaton

from www.wrestlinginc.com:
Pro wrestling legend “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton passed away at the age of 62 on Wednesday.

Debbie Eaton Lewis, the sister of Bobby, confirmed the news via Facebook. She did not reveal the cause of death.

Eaton was hospitalized in late July after suffering a bad fall. He reportedly broke several fingers and damaged his hip during the fall. It’s unknown if his passing is related to the earlier accident.

Eaton was best known for his work as one half of The Midnight Express. Under the management of Jim Cornette, he originally teamed with Dennis Condrey and, later on, with Stan Lane.

A pioneer in the art of tag team wrestling, Eaton also tagged with the likes of Arn Anderson, Koko B. Ware, Steve Keirn, and William Regal.

Eaton wrestled for extended periods of time for various promotions such as Mid-America Wrestling, Continental Wrestling Association, Mid-South Wrestling, WCCW, Jim Crockett Promotions, WCW, and Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He also made brief guest appearances for ECW and TNA.

Wrestling Inc. sends its condolences to the family, friends and fans of Eaton.
