Bobby Eaton

[9.0] "one of the most underrated stars ever one of the greatest tag team wrestlers ever find midnight express vs rock and roll express this should be taught in developmental class Bobby was a smooth. and respected as any heel you would find in the 1980s."

[7.0] "Bobby Eaton was the ideal tag team partner, ideal employee and ideal locker room friend. A guy who Cornette said was too nice for the business and would literally give you the shirt off his back! If not #1 then he has to be in the top 3 of safest wrestlers and people loved working with him. Only thing holding him back was he didn't have the main eventer look and was pretty much a tag wrestler 4 Life. Liked him with Regal in the Blue Bloods. Possibly the only guy in the biz who not one of his coworkers could say anything bad about."

[9.0] "One of wrestling's greatest tag team specialists, he also showed throughout his career that he was more than capable as a solo guy. Even if people will remember his role in the Midnight Express more, no one will argue how great between the ropes he was, capable of doing pretty much everything in the ring to make him and his opponents look good and give the fans their money's worth."

[9.0] "An all-time US worker. One of the best television workers ever, one of the best tag workers ever, and one of the best human beings ever. Bobby Eaton had no charisma, but in-ring, he was peerless in terms of consistency and adding a ton of weight to simple techniques, such as backbreakers and neckbreakers that are among the best ever. He may have even had the best punches in wrestling, after Lawler. If not for his lack of charisma and character, he'd easily get the 10, but it's still a testament to how exceptional of a worker he is that he could be completely lacking in one of the key dimensions of being a pro wrestler and still be an all-time great. Rest in peace Bobby, we love you."

[10.0] "The best tag team wrestler of all time. Not a lot to add here, he is just amazing : He has the looks, the athleticism, the pacing of matches, and gosh, the psychology, everything about him is amazing."

[8.0] "Eaton is one of the best tag team wrestlers to ever put on a pair of boots. He was also more than able to handle himself in a singles match. Just a great seller."

[9.0] "Just an amazing wrestler in one of the best tag teams in North American history, I a, even a big fan of his singles work. Just so smooth in everything he does."

[10.0] "Ranking extremely high on my personal favorites list, probably top 3 or 4. With no hesitation: the absolute best to never work for Vince. Among the smoothest wrestlers ever, a man completely and totally made for The Sport of Professional Wrestling. Has (had...) some of the BEST neckbreakers and backbreakers in all of wrestling history - some of them look so damn great, others look devastating - almost always the timing was just incredible and would maximize drama. His aerial assault is legendary and was always coming off the top with a knee or elbow that just looked PERFECT - lest I forget, The Alabama Jam! He was also THE tag team specialist, his pairings with Arn Anderson, Dennis Condrey & Stan Lane are all legendary and his team with Regal is a bit of a hidden gem. Never a speaker, but always surrounded himself with usually excellent talkers. Had chemistry with practically everyone and high recommendations go to nearly all of his matches (you can skip the Scaffold matches though).My personal favorite eras is the Stan Lane Midnight Express & The Dangerous Alliance, but also don't deny yourself his singles run between the two - there was a long stretch of peak Bobby Eaton to go back to and appreciate. Rest in peace and only the highest of accolades. Also, watch out for that right hand."

[10.0] "First of all, it's so sad that this wrestling legend passed away a few days ago. Eaton was a phenomenal wrestler, a great worker who could make himself and everyone around him look like a million dollars. Bobby was one half of my favorite tag team of all time, The Midnight Express. When it comes to singles wrestling, a memorable match to me is his TV title match with Arn Anderson at WCW's SuperBrawl 1991 (I believe). All in all, Beautiful Bobby Eaton was simply fantastic, one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time, and very enjoyable to watch. Once again, RIP 'Beautiful' Bobby"

[10.0] "So sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. The Midnight Express was one of my favorite tag teams of all-time, and their feud with the Rock and Roll Express in gold. Their feud with the 4 Horsemen is vey underrated as well. Bobby did not need to be a mouth piece as he had Jim Cornette for this. His singles runs were also very remarkable as well. He is one of the all time greats."

[9.0] "Bobby Eaton was not only one of the greatest tag team specialists, but also one of the best overall talents to predominantly work in the south during the 80s and 90s. His run with Dennis Condrey and later Stan Lane in the Midnight Express gave us some of the most entertaining work of that era. RIP to one of the greats."

[9.0] "Beautiful Bobby Eaton was an incredible tag team worker - he was really good in singles as well, but his excellence in tag teams likely counted against him on his own. Both in the Midnight Express with Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane, and also as a member of the Dangerous Alliance, Eaton excelled in any role he was put in. He even had a fun comedy role with Steven Regal in the Blue Bloods. You wouldn't have headlined with him, but Eaton was a vital part of any successful card he was on. RIP to a great performer."

[9.0] "Fantastic worker. Excel in both tag and singles division, although he was more well known in the former. Just perfect all around along with The Midnight Express."

[10.0] "Very underrated, one of the best workers of the 80s, he's in-ring skills were outstanding! It really is a shame that his solo career wasn't more successful."

[10.0] "He is one of the best in ring talents ever, not just of his generation. In terms of being a tag team wrestler, name one who could even be argued as close to his level."

[9.0] "Bobby Eaton was such a great worker; he could some incredible things in the ring, for his timeframe, and he was so smooth in the ring that he could make even the worst worker look like they were a talented wrestler."

[10.0] "Bobby Eaton is probably the greatest tag team wrestler in US history. The archetype for a tag team wrestler."

[9.0] "A good, solid worker whose current rating of 7. 97 is way too low. Whether in singles or tag competition, he could always be counted to give a good match. He also had an unexpected comedy talent, his work in the Blue Bloods was always very entertaining. And perhaps most importantly, he was a safe worker who wasn't known for injuring people. Wrestling needs more men like him."

[8.0] "Also natürlich war er nicht der jenige der ein klasse micwork hatte oder super promos halten konnte. Aber er war vor allem im Tag Team Bereich ein absoluter könner. Ich würde sogar so weit gehen ihn als einer der besten Tag Team wrestler aller Zeiten an zu sehen."

[10.0] "Maybe the best working Heel tag team wrestler ever. And His punches! He's so good, yet he is still underrated as crazy as that seems. One of the best talent's of his or any time. Great Pro Wrestler."

[7.0] "Nobody rocked a mullet like Eaton. Had that classic "out of shape NASCAR fan" look that was all the rage in NWA/WCW in the 80's and early 90's. All jokes aside though, a workhorse and a solid performer. Unfortunately, not much charisma or mic skills. Was nonetheless usually fairly over with his fellow Southerners. Seriously, awesome mullet."

[8.0] "A great wrestler and a great guy, how rare is that? Bobby Eaton is certainly an underrated talent, him & Stan Lane are the best version of The Midnight Express in my opinion. He is also said to be by many as the nicest guy in the locker room! Just overall a good worker."

[10.0] "I have been rewatching some of Eaton's NWA/WCW work and have rediscovered that he is scintillatingly brilliant, one of the best of his time in just about every regard. He is the best member of the Midnight Express (any incarnation) and helps bring that team to an elite level, and as a singles guy he can have fantastic matches at the drop of a hat. Love Beautiful Bobby!"

[9.0] "A very talented and dedicated worker who is very well respected within the industry. He is best known as an exceptional tag team performer in particular, being part of the Midnight Express and other teams over the years."

[8.0] ""Beautiful" Bobby Eaton der meiner Meinung nach, Beste Teg Team Wrestler aller Zeiten. Eaton war ein sehr guter Techniker mit Weltklasse Selling. Doch in Sachen Mic-Work und Charisma, hatte Bobby Eaton leider nur wenig zu bieten. Nichtsdestotrotz ist Bobby Eaton einer meiner absoluten Lieblings-Wrestler und ich hallte ihn für einen der unterschätztesten aller Zeiten. Für die Fähigkeiten im Ring gebe ich Eaton 10 Punkte und für die Mic-Fähigkeiten 6 Punkte. Das macht insgesamt 8 Punkte für "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton."

[7.0] "Bobby Eaton will always be remembered as a good worker."

[6.0] "Guter Techniker - im Blue Blood Gimmick leider unter seinem Wert verkauft."

[10.0] "Pf, bei den Blue Bloods hat Bobby so gar nicht reingepasst. Da hat man meines Erachtens deutlich gemerkt, dass die Booker keine Ideen mehr für ihn hatten. Davon abgesehen ist Bobby neben Arn Anderson so ziemlich der beste TT-Wrestler überhaupt. Besonders im Midnight Express, sowohl mit Dennis als auch mit Stan, und später auch mit Arn Anderson hat er das immer wieder unter Beweis gestellt. Wobei er in der Dangerous Alliance als ganzes immer irgendwie verloren wirkte. Seine Fehde gegen Arn um den Television Title ist nicht nur die letzte gute Fehde um den Titel sondern auch die beste überhaupt. @ Masked Kane: Besser als moi. Der Text wurde von "Phenomenal" wurde von meinem GB-Eintrag geklaut."

[2.0] "Guter Techniker, aber furchtbar langweilig und nichtssagend. Höchstens als Teil der Blue Bloods einigermaßen erträglich."

""Beautiful" Bobby Eaton; der Inbegriff eines Tag Team-Wrestlers. Ist alleine immer mangels Charisma und aufregenden Gimmicks total untergegangen, konnte aber richtig gut wrestlen und hat als Teil der Blue Bloods und vor allem des Midnight Express Geschichte geschrieben."

[10.0] "Bobby Eaton ist meiner Meinung nach einer der unerkannten Edelsteine unter den Wrestlern der 80er und mit kleinen Abstrichen noch der frühen 90er Jahre. Einer der ersten amerikanischen High-Flyer, DER Meister bei Scaffold-Matches und zusammen mit Stan Lane in einem meiner absoluten Lieblings-Teams. Was ihm fehlte war der notwendige Körper und ein wenig das Charisma für eine ganz große Karriere, aber hey- der Mann hat sich den Arsch aufgerissen, in jedem seiner Matches. Ihm hab ich damals selbst als kritsches Kind abgenommen, dass er in jedem Kampf sein Letztes gibt."

[10.0] "One of the absolute greatest of all time. He is fearless and knows how to work."

[8.0] "Mangelndes Charisma hin, Aussehen her, ein großartiger Wrestler, diese Tatsache kann man einfach nicht leugnen."

[7.0] "Wirklich guter Mann, der leider nicht mit dem Aussehen oder dem Flair eines Entertainers gesegnet war."

[4.0] "Als "Earl Robert Eaton" ganz lustig, ansonsten viel zu uninteressant."

[10.0] "Früher einer meiner absoluten Lieblinge. Er war nie der schillernde Star, wie sie heute herumlaufen, dafür einfach nur gut. Zusammen mit Stan Lane für mich das beste Tag-Team aller Zeiten. Legendär!"

[2.0] "Hat mich im Ring nicht angesprochen und Charisma hatte er auch nicht."

[6.0] "Mag ein feiner Techniker gewesen sein, ist mir auch durch die Blue Bloods und den Midnight Express noch gut in Erinnerung geblieben, doch ist bei mir der Funke nie übergesprungen!"

[8.0] "Mr. Beautiful Bobby Eaton kam immer gut rüber ... ECW, WCW oder welche Liga auch immer, aber am besten hat er mir im Tag Team gefallen (Midnight Express), dieses Tag Team ist einfach ein Tolles Tag Team gewesen!"

[6.0] "Ob Alliance oder Blue Bloods - der Mann war im Team immer ansprechend. Leider ging als Solowrestler unter. Hat bei mir aber Kultstatus!"

[10.0] "Als Tag Team Wrestler einer der Besten; aber auch als Single immer überzeugend"

[8.0] "Tag Team-Legende. Die "Midnight Express vs. Rock'n'Roll Express"-Fehde war seinerzeit eines der "hottest things" in der Szene. Bobby ist heute noch aktiv und immer noch so beliebt wie damals."
