10 Wrestlers You Won’t Believe Were Once Paul Heyman Guys 6

6. Bobby Eaton

One of the most admired and understated performers in the history of wrestling, Bobby Eaton was best known as one half of the Midnight Express team that feuded against Paul E Dangerously in the late 1980s. Eaton was never a great talker or a flashy, showy wrestler, which meant that he was usually put into tag teams or with managers where other people could do the talking. But in the ring, he was an absolute joy to WATCH: so slick, so smooth, everything he did looked effortless.
Always regarded as a Jim Cornette guy, Eaton shocked the world by aligning himself with his former arch-nemesis in the Dangerous Alliance stable in WCW in 1991. Dangerously had formed easily one of the most talented and well-rounded stables in wrestling history. He was paired up with another legendary tag team wrestler, Arn Anderson, and the two quickly won the WCW World Tag Team Championship from the team of Ricky Steamboat and Dustin Rhodes. The Dangerous Alliance was the most dominant force in WCW in 1992, at one point holding every championship in the PROMOTION except for the big one, the World Heavyweight Championship. That was held by Sting, whose life was made an utter misery by the Dangerous Alliance. The feud culminated in one of the most memorable War Games matches of all time at Wrestle War 1992, where Sting’s Squadron defeated The Dangerous Alliance when Larry Zbyszko surrendered.
The Dangerous Alliance fell APART soon afterwards, and Eaton was fired and later re-hired by WCW, though his career never reached the same heights again. He later formed The Blue Bloods with Lord Steven Regal (William Regal), filling the role that was originally set for Jean-Paul Levesque, who quit WCW to join the WWF as Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Eaton is now retired, having suffered some health problems in recent years which have required hospital treatment.
