Hey now, before we begin today's show, we start again on a somber note as beautiful Bobby Eaton

died Thursday at age 62. One half of the Midnight Express, Eaton wrestled over parts of five

different decades. He was a staple of the NWA and Continental Wrestling Association, but became

best known when he joined Mid-South Wrestling under Bill Watts and became

the Midnight Express with Dennis Condry and Jim Cornett, of course, as his manager. They later went on

to Jim Crockett promotions in WCW, where their longtime feud with the Rock and Roll Express continued.

Eaton also ended up teaming with Stan Lane as the Midnight Express that many people

know and love in WCW, where they worked with all the other greats, including the Road Warriors,

Simone Sua team, the new fabulous freedbirds, the Steiner brothers, and many others.

Eaton beat Arne Anderson one time for the WCW TV title and actually had a two of three falls match against

Rick Flair at a clash of champions event. Those were the highlights of his singles career because

he was primarily a tag team wrestler. He later joined the Dangerous Alliance under Paul E. Dangerously,

where he feuded with Sting, Ricky Steamboat, and basically everyone else.

Eric Bischoff ended up rehiring Eaton after Bill Watts left WCW.

And he also made a couple random appearances in ECW before his full-time career ended.

His last notable work was with the Blue Bloods, where he teamed with William Regal.

They fought the nasty boys, Harlem Heat, that whole new generation of WCW tag teams. And he did make sporadic appearances in independent promotions up until 2015,

but he did end his career, Eaton, known as one of the nicest and most underrated wrestlers

of all time. You couple that with his tag team success,

and that is quite a legacy to leave behind,

one that will definitely be remembered for decades to come.

Hey now! Hey now, we are getting over, and I am the Silver King, Adam Silverstein,
