Bobby Eaton is considered one of the most outstanding tag team wrestlers of all time due to his time as half of The Midnight Express, initially teaming with Dennis Condrey and then with Stan Lane. For the past fifteen years, he has been tormented with health issues, including blood pressure, diabetes and has had a pacemaker fitted. Tragically, just last month, his wife Donna would pass away, and now it has been reported that last week he was again hospitalized, this time following a nasty fall at his home. Eaton would sadly break several fingers and requires physical therapy after damaging his hip during the fall.
Eaton isn’t involved much in wrestling nowadays, but back in 2019, a surprise show paying tribute to Eaton was held in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was called “Don’t Tell Bobby” and advertised online as Eaton doesn’t use the internet, and he didn’t find out about the event until he arrived at the venue. He would turn up thinking he was doing an autograph signing and then be surprised by those in attendance. The show would feature appearances by Jim Cornette, Tom Prichard, Bill Dundee, Les Thatcher, Tracy Smothers, Dave Taylor, Bobby Fulton, George South, and William Regal. Eaton would be presented with a custom championship belt at the conclusion of the show and received all the event’s proceeds.
