“Beautiful” Bobby Eaton may have had wrestling’s most facetious nickname and looked like your least favourite aunt, but that guy could work a damn tag match. He knew where to be, he knew where to keep the babyfaces from being, and he served in two of the three versions of the Midnight Express.

That might be why Bobby has the longest list of accomplishments on this list, including an unheard-of three year stretch in Wrestling Observer Tag Teams of the Year. Later in his career, he'd link up with Lord Steven Regal as Earl Robert, doing an atrocious job of being British but still taking care of business in the ring.
