The Earl of Eaton was and is such a great wrestler and fun to watch. The Midnight Express and Beautiful Bobby Eaton need more recognition. I am 51 years old and lucky enough to watch Mr Eaton in his prime. Rip 🙏.
Please excuse this upcoming rant, sorry this is going to be so long, but if Bobby Eaton has EARNED this, & deserves ANY & ALL the flowers we can give him!.... The FACT that The Midnight Express is arguably the & in my mind IS THE GREATEST TAG TEAM PERIOD! The fact that they was constantly the BEST Team in the World, with arguably, & once again in my mind The GREATEST WRESTLING MANAGER OF ALL TIME, made them even that much more of a case for THE GREATEST, NOT TO MENTION, how rare it was then & now to have ALL the sums of the rt parts, together is just 1 of many cases to back this up. Speaking of Rare, Manager Jim Cornette, Lover Boy Dennis (Condrey) & Beautiful Bobby were solid, at one point u couldn't think of 1, without thinking about the others, but to out of nowhere, loose such a key member of the team as Dennis Condrey, only to just as quickly as they did,, & with Jim, Bobby & now Sweet Stan Lane so seamlessly joining, & to NOT ONLY MISS A BEAT, but to spark a debate that goes on to this day, as to which was the better trio or which Midnight Express is ur favorite are ?'s u DON'T hear b/c any other tag team would've fastly faded out & certainly wouldn't keep a top spot on the card yr after yr! ALL that being said, the fact that The Midnight Express hasn't been in The (Mickey Mouse) WWE HOF, IS A SLAP IN THE FACE to ALL 4 OF THEM! Yet when Smack Down comes on later tonight, I'm sure that they will show Beautiful Bobby's face, & ring the bell 10x's (& YES BEAUTIFUL BOBBY EATON DESERVES this recognition) to posture like they do best, despite NEVER giving them their just due simply b/c the deserved it! Where was this "Love" 10, 15, HELL 20YEARS AGO? Vince & The WWE on behalf of this Midnight Express Fan, please for once, do the right thing, since this company has seen fit to slight them this long, don't further disrespect them by trying to put them in ur "HOF" The Midnight Express doesn't need WWE, they have always been HALL OF FAMERS, keep ur empty gestures after all there's plenty of Cartoon Gimmicks to choose from! RIP Beautiful Bobby Eaton, I hope that just in the past 3-5 years, u finally realized how GREAT u were, in ur humble Bobby Eaton way, b/c The Fans, & MOST IMPORTANTLY, UR PEERS ALWAYS KNEW!
Thanks for that great comment. It wasn't too long, and I appreciate the thought you put into it. I fully agree with everything you said. I think you said a couple things I just didn't get around to saying in this video. I didn't say enough about the mind and mouth of Jim Cornette. He feel Heenan is the best manager of all time. I love Heenan, but I feel the best of all time is Cornette. Cornette was the one man with enough pride, and common sense to bring in the fight guy when Dennis left. You can't say enough about Bobby in the ring. Like I said, if you knew what you were looking at, he was one of the best ever, would fit anywhere on the card, and would bust his ass every time in those matches. He took everything seriously, like any pro athlete should, and the years paid off.
@@ArachnidSoul thank u, so much, for taking the time to even reply a sentence to me, that just further shows me, what I already knew after watching ur video, that u are a true fan, & not just trying to get a UTube 💰! I can not, & will not ever argue against Bobby Heenan being #1 on anyone's list! I always try to make sure I say "To Me" "In my opinion" or"As for me" ect. yeah, so people know that it's just one man opinion, but Bro, honestly it's more out of respect for "The Brain" than anything. My God , as I'm positive that u know, those Bumps along made him better than most. I my mind, Cornette & Heenan are more interchangeable on the #1 & 2 G.O.A.T list possibly than the Flair/Hogan debate (LMAO pretty sure I know my choice) b/c ur either Team Flair or Team Hogan, that's it NO changing ur mind, whereas with Corney/ Heenan I notice most of the time, people don't argue that logic. I have heard Jim say many times,#1 Is Bobby The Brain Heenan, & believe he genuinely feels that way, but I think it's safe to say Jim knows he is #2 as he should, & that he stands alone in that spot. People can argue "Till The Cows come home" where The Midnight's belong amongst the Best/Greatest, but under NO circumstances can anyone argue that The Midnight Express doesn't belong in the WWE HOF, that they shouldn't have been in a long time ago, let alone the very 1st yr they started adding Non-WWF/E Wrestlers. The Midnight Express, ALL 3 of The Boys & Jim Cornette, should have been a NO slam dunk unanimous choice period. No one, can argue against them being in The WWE HOF, & make it even sound logical to me, muchless EVER change my mind on that. It's not b/c I think, or claim to be any type of wrestling authority, & it's not me trying to be a know it all, it's THEIR BODY OF WORK! Although The WWE owns everything Wrestling & try to bury everything that wasn't WWWF, WWF, or WWE, & they do a great job at doing so, but people can look for themselves, it's not like I'm making a case for Randy& Bill Mulkey (ALL due respect) for Gods sake, it's THE FREAKING MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!!
Thumbs up from me 👍
We lost one of the all time great Southern Wrestlers of all time.
