Bobby Eaton’s Career

Bobby Eaton started his pro wrestling career when he was only 13 years old. To learn his craft, he spent time training under Tojo Yamamoto.

Eaton was quickly noticed as an outstanding wrestler. However, his career stood out because of his extraordinary abilities in tag team wrestling.

Bobby was one half of the famed tag team Midnight Express. This was the famed tag team managed by wrestling personality Jim Cornette.

Midnight Express was one of the most recognizable tag teams in the world. To this day, they are the standard to which many tag teams are held to.

While he was best known for his time with Midnight Express, Eaton also tagged with other world class wrestlers. These wrestlers include Arn Anderson and William Regal.

Bobby Eaton had a professional wrestling career that went over a whopping forty years. He was one of the rare breeds of wrestler that absolutely live and breathe the sport.

The death of Eaton certainly puts a dark cloud over the wrestling world. However, he will be fondly remembered by many wrestling fans across the globe.

His work as a professional wrestler set the standard for tag team wrestling today. And I expect it will be a standard for many years to come.
