Wrestler ‘Beautiful’ Bobby Eaton Dies At 62, Cause Of Death Still Known

Bobby Eaton, known for making up one-half of the “Midnight Express” tag-team wrestling duo, has died at age 62. His cause of death is not known at this time.

“Once you met him, you realized he was a greater human being than the image you had as a professional wrestler,” fellow wrestler and friend Tommy Laughlin said.

“There will never be another…’ always gets said, but this is absolutely true; ‘Beautiful’ Bobby Eaton was literally one of a kind. Rest In Peace, Bobby. The wrestling Business did not deserve you, but I’m glad we got you,” said wrestler Dax Harwood.
