'Beautiful' Bobby Eaton is one of those rare, rare wrestlers who nobody in the business has ever had a bad word to say about. Added to that, he's viewed by the likes of Ric Flair and Steve Austin as being one of the absolute best to ever lace up a pair of boots - which should tell you all you need to know about Beautiful Bobby's in-ring talent.

Forever remembered as one half of the Midnight Express - one of the greatest tag teams (in either form) in history - Bobby passed away in his sleep on 4 August at age 62. He had tragically lost his dear wife Donna just over a month prior.
